Check4Cancer

Oncology, Diagnostics & Testing

I wanted to share some feedback on my recent appointment. I felt the consultant was quite dismissive and used language that may not have been appropriate — for example, when feeling the lump I was told immediately “this is not cancer.” While I have personal experience in this area and have been through it before, for someone new to this situation such a conclusion could feel very daunting and unsettling. The appointment also felt rushed, particularly after the ultrasound (as the mammogram machine was broken). I left feeling as though my questions were seen as unimportant, and that I was being hurried out because “nothing was wrong.” While I accept the results, I had hoped for a more considered discussion — especially as I’ve had similar lumps removed in the past and wanted to understand the difference this time. Instead, I was simply told to manage the pain, given a leaflet, and advised to take primrose oil. This did not feel like the most supportive approach. To then receive a letter a couple of hours later — before the mammogram had even taken place — dismissing me from the service, felt like a rushed and premature conclusion. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the experience could be improved by allowing more time for questions, more sensitivity in communication, and reassurance for patients at what can be an anxious time.

Mr Tom Setchell

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have been a patient of Mr Tom Setchell for well over 15 years, and I can honestly say he is an exceptional OBGYN. He has delivered both of my babies and has supported me through various health issues with incredible care, expertise, and compassion. What sets Mr Setchell apart is his calm, reassuring manner and the way he truly listens. No matter how big or small my concerns have been, he has always taken the time to explain everything clearly and thoughtfully. I have always felt safe and completely confident under his care. Through pregnancy, delivery, and beyond, his professionalism and kindness have made such a difference to me and my family. Having a doctor you can completely trust during some of life’s most important and vulnerable moments is priceless, and I am deeply grateful for all that he has done. I could not recommend Mr Setchell highly enough—he is an outstanding doctor and a wonderful person.

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

We feel so fortunate to have been able to have our daughter delivered at the Portland Hospital. Our room, the food, the care, everything was exceptional. Most of all we are grateful to the incredible midwives, who looked after us with such warmth and patience. We felt so safe in the knowledge that one of these incredible women was there around the clock to look after us and guide us through the early days and hours of our journey into parenthood. The various healthcare professionals (paediatrician, physio, lactation consultant, pharmacist) as well as the registrar who came to see us were all exceptional individuals too and it was incredibly helpful to be seen by all of them during our hospital stay. A special thank you goes to Pat, our amazing midwife, who accompanied us on the day of our birth. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful midwife to be with us on this incredible journey.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I went to my consultation with some trepedation as I didnt know what to expect but I was quickly put at ease once the consultation began. I was impressed with the detailed checks and scans that were carried out and everything was clearly explained at each stage. I was quiete surprised to be told that I wasnt ready for treatment at this stage and that any improvement that they could make for my reading vision, could potentially, make my distance vision slighly worse than it is at the moment. i was really impressed at the honestly and professionalism of the Consultant who gave me his honest opinion and did not try and sell me a procedure that I didnt need. For me this is very comendable in this day and age, Perhaps in a number of years time my situation will have changed and I will not hesitate to return to Cathedral for further advive/ analysys.

I absolutely love this Pilates studio! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. My instructor, Claire, is incredible — she’s knowledgeable, professional, and brings such a positive, encouraging energy to every session. She really takes the time to understand your goals and adjusts the workouts to suit your needs, whether you're just starting out or looking to level up. The studio itself is stuning, calming, and beautifully set up — it makes each class feel like a mini retreat. Since working with Claire, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my strength, posture, and overall wellbeing. I genuinely look forward to every class! If you’re considering Pilates or looking for a studio that feels both professional and personal, I can’t recommend this place — and Claire — enough. It’s been an absolute gift.

Let's Go Physio

Neurology, Orthotics, + 3 more

Claire Sewter's speedy visit and diagnosis was reassuring and clearly highly professional. She was highly knowledgeable and provided really practical advice and support. I have followed the recommended programme carefully and left feedback or email responses that Claire has followed up regularly. The stretches and exercises that were given, have helped me to improve and recover my physical condition, quickly, and after 4 weeks I am feeling a lot stronger, and better overall. As this was the 3rd time I have approached Let's Go Physio for help - with different injuries - I can recommend them unreservedly - and have done so already with a few people.

Dr. Zubeir Ali

Urologist

I was fortunate enough to see Dr. Ali, who answered every question I had with the expertise I expected. He provided a detailed breakdown of the type of kidney stones I had, their size, how and why kidney stones form, and also reviewed my lifestyle and diet. He arranged a 24-hour urine test and blood test, making it by far one of the most thorough consultations I’ve ever had for any health issue. I left the consultation reassured, knowing that I can still enjoy food (I’m a foodie) without constantly worrying about the pain of kidney stones.

Spire Harpenden Hospital

5-Star Review for Dr. Alan Parbhoo I'm absolutely delighted with Dr. Alan Parbhoo's care! He performed a tooth extraction due to a root canal failure, and the procedure was a success. Dr. Parbhoo was incredibly caring, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making me feel at ease. The aftercare was also amazing, ensuring a smooth recovery. I'm extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Dr. Parbhoo! His expertise, kindness, and dedication to patient care are truly exceptional.

Mr Shantanu Gudsoorkar

Ophthalmologist

I accompanied my mum for her consultation with Mr Gudsoorkar regarding her cataract surgery. She was deemed unfit by a neighbouring hospital due to her back problems and very anxious about it. He discussed issues in detail and reassured us that she would be ok on the adaptable bed available in theatre . Theatre staff was very kind, ensuring she was comfortable throughout the procedure . She is absolutely delighted with her new eyes . Thank you Mr Gudsoorkar for your kindness and expertise

Duality Healthcare Newry

Audiology, Diagnostics & Testing, + 5 more

I had a fibroscan which was really thorough and detailed. It was clear that the clinican was very highly trained and knowledgable. There are lots of places at the moment which primarily specialise in private baby scans but also offer health scans. I have previously been to one such place for for an abdominal scan and it was very basic - absolutely nothing like the attention to detail of the scan I had at Duality Healthcare. I was really pleased and reassured by the service. Thank you!

Dr. Sheeraz Janjua

Optometrist

My eyesight was deteriorating year on year through Myasthenia Gravis and medication, and the annual eye test was becoming quite daunting but now I rest assured in the expert hands and minds of Dr Janjua and his team at Flynn‘s Opticians where, with the latest technology combined with progress in lens manufacture, previous problems are now opportunities and solutions. Such a pleasurable experience encouraging and allowing me to carry on working as a church minister.

Mr Fadi Alfaqawi

Ophthalmologist

Very well organised and everything happened as they explained. Mr F talked me through the procedure and has a very calming voice. I did not experience any pain but just some solution in my eyes and it was over in minutes. My sight recovered quickly with long sight clearing first and then near vision after less than 2 days. I can read without glasses and my long vision is better than 20.20 in fact I managed to read most of the bottom line on the chart.

Mr James Smith

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a discussion with Mr Smith about problems with my knee and I was advised about the reasons and the appropriate action that could be taken was a knee replacement. I was advised that it was a painful operation and I would be out of action for about two months. I agreed with Mr Smith that as I was fairly mobile, and managing my pain at the moment , I would wait until after the winter and see what my position was then.

Dr. Kuven Moodley

Neurologist

Immediately, I knew that Dr Moodlley is an expert in his field. This came through not only in terms of his knowledge of diagnosis and treatment but in the highly skilled way he carried this out and communicated with me. His subsequent immediate follow-up also showed his motivation and abilities to listen and implement appropriate action.. I am so grateful to have had this consultation. Prof Del L.

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 9 more

Outstanding care by Dr Bellamy. What made it outstanding was the time he took to explain things, the way he was able to reassure whilst being realistic and how he helped in terms of understanding the “ next steps.” He is a rare find in medicine nowadays; a doctor who has a genuine interest in people. The team of nurses were friendly and competent, offering relaxed and informative patient care.

Mr Veeranna Shatkar

General Surgeon

I was exceptionally happy with my treatment from the first consultation through to the follow up appointment after surgery. Mr Shatkar listened to everything I had been experiencing and understood and explained things clearly. Surgery went well. Mr Shatkar was honest, empathetic and put my concerns at ease.
