Dr Ricardo Madrigal

Consultant Allergist

My appointment with Dr Madrigal was a breath of fresh air! I've seen more than my fair share of specialists due to complex chronic illness, and I can confidently say that Dr Madrigal is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. I came to him with the hope that he may be able to unpack a suspected misdiagnosis that has weighed on me for 9 years, significantly impacting my quality of life both in the uncontrolled symptoms and management strategies. Safe to say, he exceeded my expectations. He patiently listened, asked clear and thoughtful questions, and exuded a warmth with genuine care and concern (a trait that is sadly not as common as you'd hope among doctors, at least in my experience). He explained the misdiagnosis clearly, what he thinks I may be experiencing instead, and how we can move forward to diagnose / treat it. I didn't feel rushed at all, and it was abundantly clear he wanted to do his best to help me. That care extended to his clinic letter too. Dr Madrigal's letter was easily the best clinic letter I've had from any consultant. Even for bits I found myself struggling to articulate in the appointment, he somehow managed to make sense of it and report it accurately - proving just how deeply he listened to me. His admin team are also amazing, even checking in to make sure I knew what to do next. I truly left that appointment more hopeful than I've felt in YEARS: like I finally may be on the right path to get my life back. All because a highly knowledgeable and kind consultant took the time to compassionately listen. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr Madrigal to everyone I can, and I feel blessed that I was able to see him.

Dr. Arifur Rahman

Psychiatrist

I really look forward to my reviews with Dr Rahman and it was a pleasure to see him again today. My reviews are important checkpoints for me and an opportunity to reflect on how I've really been, and Dr Rahman has always offered support and advice where ever I've identified that I'm struggling. Dr Rahman assessed and diagnosed me with ADHD around 18 months ago. I had questioned for a long while that I maybe neurodiverse, but I was hesitant around being formally assessed for many reasons. I explained all of my concerns in my assessment and Dr Rahman met them all with understanding and reassurance. Thanks to him, I tried medication with a realistic idea of what to expect and knowing if I had any questions or concerns in that titration period - I could contact him. I am so thankful that I did, and that I trusted his advice in how medication may (positively) affect other conditions I had suffered with for many years before - that I hadn't considered were a result of ADHD, rather than in addition to. I am now part of community where diagnosis is frequently discussed and as a result, I understand the impact of assessment experience and ongoing care in how individuals view their diagnosis. I consider myself incredibly lucky that Dr Rahman has made this experience and the process of managing ADHD as positive as it can be. 10/10 would recommend.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a problem with my hips for a while but after I retired last year the pain in my right hip got worse. I was looking forward to enjoying more walking and playing with the grandchildren but I was unable to do this. I was referred to micats and for a few months I managed to go about daily living but I was in pain and couldn't walk far. Suddenly the pain went to the next level and si the physio referred me to the orthopedic team and within 2 weeks I had a letter to ring and arrange an appointment. I was able to choose who I wanted to see and where. I had heard very good reports about Mr Malek, ge had replaced a knee for my brother and a hip for my friends husband . So I asked to see Mr Malek at Rowley Hall on the NHS and I was offered an appointment the following week. Mr Malek was very professional with a warm and friendly approach. He told me I would need a right hip replacement and it would be done in 2- 3 months. Exactly 2 months later I had the op. I went to theatre at 11.30 and was back home eating my dinner at 6.40 that evening! Really amazing. The scar was small and the post operative period uneventful. Within a few weeks I was walking without crutches and the awful pain from pre-op was completely gone. I cannot sing Mr Maleks praises loud enough. I'm doing all rhe things in retirement I wanted to do ... painfree

Mr Kam Balaggan

Ophthalmologist

I was treated by Mr Balaggan following a routine eye examination which highlighted a bleed at the back of my eye. Following tests, he diagnosed Central Retinal Vein Occlusion, related to macular oedema, which requires ongoing Eylea eye injections. I was panicked about the injections, but he put me at ease with his calm confidence and gentle manner. He clearly explains conditions and procedures and takes time to answer all questions. I have received 4 injections so far: all have gone smoothly. My eyesight has improved dramatically, thanks to his expertise. Mr Balaggan is highly professional, knowledgeable and thorough.. According to the nurses in the ophthalmology department, Mr Balaggan is top of his field and fabulous to work with.

I’m really pleased with my experience at the clinic. I’ve had two sessions for thread vein removal and the results and service have been fantastic. The staff were friendly, informative and made me feel completely at ease. I never felt rushed and really felt listened to, cared for and in safe hands throughout the whole process. The environment was clean, welcoming and professional, which added to how comfortable I felt. I’ve already booked in for more treatments and will definitely be a regular client from now on!

Total Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

My husband and I both saw Rekesh and are really impressed. A first class ear specialist who from the outset listens attentively, explains clearly and makes you feel at ease. My hearing test and wax removal from both ears were pain-free even though there was some wax on my actual eardrum. My husband got great advice on how to manage with wax buildup in his ears and on what to do and importantly not to do & when to have it removed. Highly recommended.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Audiology, Cardiology, + 11 more

I was hoping that I would have at least a physical examination rather than just be told that I would have to have a procedure in three or four months time. I felt that as I had already had an MRI scan several months earlier & a telephone consultation there was no necessity to have a face to face meeting with the consultant just to repeat my symptoms, as it was a further waste of time for me to drive all the way to Ashford for a 5 minute interview.

Mr James White

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr White was caring, supportive and professional. He took exceptional care and time to explain diagnosis and procedural aspects to me and to answer all my questions. His calm and reassuring manner gave me complete confidence. I have had an excellent response to surgery which was conducted skilfully and promptly. I am extremely grateful for the care I have received and would have no hesitation in recommending Mr White to anyone.

Charlotte has been excellent with my Grandmother, who required physio and exercise support following a lengthy and complex hospital admission. Coming home was a daunting and challenging process for her and the family but it’s been made much easier with Charlotte’s support, positivity and encouragement. Her mobility and confidence is starting to return, and we’re super hopeful she is going to make further progress to follow.

Mr Arun Kumar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My overall rating is excellent : All the staff were kind & courteous and very reassuring from first being shown into a clean & comfortable room to being wheeled out for collection at the front entrance. Follow-up physio sessions with Stephen have been particularly useful & informative. Stephen is very helpful & extremely reassuring in every aspect. He is an extremely pleasant & helpful young man. Thank you to you all.

Steven is very personable, knowledgeable, and empathetic. He takes time to understand you and adapts his approach to what you need in each session. I came to EMDR with both past and recent traumas that hadn’t been resolved through traditional talk therapy, and working with Steven has made a real difference. I’ve been carrying trauma for years and finally have hope that I can recover. I highly recommend Steven.

Mr Mark Farndon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Quick to get an initial consultation appointment and the subsequent MRI & X-ray requirements were arranged within the network of Nuffield hospitals very quickly and with excellent communication from all involved. At the follow up appointment Mark explained the results thoroughly to my teenage son, talking him through the scan images & reassuring him of the next steps, using simple terminology.

Mr Gerry Kelly

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Had been advised by physio that, as an ongoing problem was taking some time to resolve, a scan would likely be required to see what was going on. My GP felt that would need to be decided by a specialist so referred me for an initial consultation. I felt comfortable with Mr Kelly who was easy to talk to and not at all intimidating
