had a right knee replacement with Mr. Sam Rajaratnam just over two weeks ago on 3rd November 2025, and what I had feared would be a difficult and painful operation turned out to be completely painless. Sam is extremely kind, patient and reassuring — perfect for someone as nervous as I was. I had delayed doing this surgery for a year and a half and even cancelled the operation twice before finally going through with it! Mr. Rajaratnam has built an outstanding team, including an exceptionally experienced anaesthetist, Dr. Barry Philips; a kind and highly competent nurse consultant, Ms. Christine Howis; and an excellent senior physiotherapist, Felicitas Gatti, who visits me at home to guide my post-operative exercises. I was also extremely impressed by all the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic hospital, who provided exceptional care throughout my stay. Whilst at the Cleveland, Sam visited me daily, and even came in today after my staples were removed to check on my progress. Mr. Rajaratnam’s expertise is evident—he has performed over 7,000 knee replacements—and the level of care and support I received was extraordinary. I was expecting a significant increase in pain once the stronger medication stopped a week after surgery, but to my surprise, I remained completely pain-free. I am extremely grateful to Sam and his wonderful team. I’ll be back for my other knee as soon as I’m up and running again!

It was a pleasure to meet with Matt Wright again following our consultations and procedures in 2019 and before, when he cured my atrial fibrillation. Thanks to his specialist care, I have been able to successfully carry on running my antique business from my gallery in Pimlico.. Accordingly, it was very reassuring to discover that he had recognised my name after my recent visit to A and E at St Thomases and had been advising on further tests and treatment following the analysis of my seven day monitor. Having explained to him that I had stopped taking the prescribed Bisoprolol 2.5 mg after three days, as it very quickly took my blood pressure down to 50, he recommended that I re-start on 1.25 mg. This reduction appears to have so far done the trick, as my pulse has dropped to mid 60s which is bearable. In conclusion I am so relieved to once again know that Matt is keeping an eye on me and that his ear is available should I need reassurance.

Mr Prateesh Trivedi

General Surgeon

Mr Trivedi was the consummate professional. He was very clear in the initial appointment, explained the different options, and made an informed recommendation. Once agreed to do a colonoscopy, he went out of his way to arrange for it urgently within 48 hours of the initial appointment. The hospital visit was excellent for the procedure. Mr Trivedi was very good in his communications before , through and after the procedure. And he gave an immediate assessment afterwards that there was nothing out of the ordinary, which gave me great relief. He also proposed diet changes which will ensure the problem will have less chance of recurring. Overall, a great experience with an experienced doctor for whom clearly, patient care and health is foremost !

Ms Neeru Vallabh

Ophthalmologist

It took me a time to come to terms with the need for an operation, Neeru was patient at answering all my questions and concerns before I agreed to the procedure and on the day of the operation, the whole team were great. There are a lot of follow up appointments involved and at each of these Neeru provided clear explanations of how things were going, and of all changes to drops, procedures required and dos and don'ts on an ongoing basis. Neeru is passionate and caring about her job and I watched her video on Glaucoma UK as part of my decision making process, along with other videos relating to my condition. It is reassuring that Neeru is in the forefront of treatment of Glaucoma.

My experience of this appointment was genuinely five-star. The procedure I had was performed by Vicky with meticulous care. The clinic gives a luxurious atmosphere making you feel at ease the minute you walk through the door. The staff at VB health from the reception area to the practitioners are very friendly, warm professional and very knowledgeable. You are made to feel completely at ease and well informed about the treatment I was having. I cannot recommend VB Health highly enough this is definitely the only place to go for treatments. The results speak for themselves. Thank you very much to Vicky and her team.

Mr Colin Weir

General Surgeon

I recently had foam sclerotherapy on my veins with Mr Weir, and I honestly couldn’t be more impressed. He was exceptional from start to finish. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and informed, and the whole procedure involved minimal pain. The results are amazing — I’m so glad I decided to go ahead with it. He couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful throughout the entire process. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. If you’re considering treatment, you’ll be in the very best hands with Mr Weir.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Staff all good, but I had been given inaccurate info before the appt and didn’t wear contact lenses for 2 weeks beforehand altho this was unnecessary as all measurements had already been taken. I then had to wait over an hour to be seen, longer than for the NHS appt. When I mentioned the long wait I was told this was because everyone had wanted a long discussion as they were private appts! Surely this is to be expected and the solution is not to overbook appts. I can’t comment yet on the procedure as haven’t had it yet.

Mr Padmanabh Phaltankar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Absolutely brilliant, from the moment i had the pre-op all the staff from the reception right upto and including the surgeon Mr phaltankar are great - they put you at ease the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out and considering I had a full knee replacement I didn’t think I would walking so well even with crutches and after four weeks I didn’t need them the procedure was that good. My thanks to all the staff at highfield hospital and a special thanks to Mr phaltankar who gave me my mobility back.

Dr Sunila Jog

Paediatrician

Our baby has a cows milk protein allergy which caused eczema all over his body. We recently saw Dr Jog for the 2nd time to gain some reassurance about the next steps to take as we began to introduce solids. The advice and recommendations during our first visit worked really well to alleviate our baby's eczema. She has always been attentive and made sure that our needs were met and our anxieties were addressed. Highly recommend Dr Jog for any parents that wants a genuinely caring clinician.

Mr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I attended The Cleveland Clinic for a procedure to be carried out by Mr Nick Panagiotopoulos. He exuded confidence and I trusted him completely. The care and compassion of the theatre staff added to the feeling of calm and the procedure went well. The success of the procedure has meant I now can breathe deeply without pain and I feel so much better. A good experience under the care of an experienced consultant, thank you.

Dr Arghya Sarkhel

Psychiatrist

Dr Sarkhel has been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout my treatment. He listens carefully, asks the right questions, and makes you feel safe and comfortable discussing difficult topics. He explains things clearly and never rushes the appointment. I left feeling heard, reassured, and confident in the plan we’ve put in place. I’m very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him.

Bristol Menopause Clinic

Public Health Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 1 more

Patronising, no evidence had read prefilled questionnaire, or previous history. Despite personal discomfort I described, the only response was to leave things as they were, lack of initiative. Lack of empathy. I was asked to book an appt sooner rather than later which I did, and then during the appt I was told to leave things as they were for another couple of months. Very dissatisfied with the service.

Mr James Carmichael

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My mum had a great experience with Mr Carmichael. He took the time to thoroughly explain all her treatment options and made sure she understood exactly what was going on. He was kind, patient, and reassuring throughout the entire process. We also appreciate the excellent continuity of care—he’s consistently been available to answer any questions and provide support whenever needed. Highly recommended!

All the staff at the Portland were lovely, kind and reassuring. They provided clear explanations of what to expect and helped me through all the information I needed. I was in a private room which was nice, this was comforting as it was a difficult and emotional day. I felt well cared for during my time at the Portland.

I had a consultation today with Dr Riaz Agha and he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. He went through all my options and was completely transparent and honest and I walked away with all of the facts so that I could make the best possible decision for me. I highly recommend based on this first experience!
