The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I was referred to the Horder Centre for hip surgery as an NHS patient and the difference between that experience and my experiences in NHS hospitals couldn't have been more different. As it turned out, I also had two brief stays in an NHS hospital at around the same time, and experiencing a busy trauma ward in the Royal Victoria hospital in Brighton was pretty terrible. Unusually, I ended up having to have two operations in Crowborough on the same hip, so I was there for several days in all, and though no one really wants to be in hospital they do make every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You get a single room with a TV (Freeview) and your own en-suite bathroom and fresh towels are brought every day. For a start, the staffing levels were brilliant. Someone was always on hand if I needed pain relief or anything else for that mattter. For every staff shiftI was allocated a care worker and a nurse, all of whom were absolutely lovely. They will help you with anything including a bed-wash or shower and if you have any questions they can't answer themselves they will find someone who can. I was regularly offered pain medication and if I felt I needed some in between rounds I had only to ring the bell beside my bed and I was usually able to have it. The food is good and plentiful and the menu choices provide plenty of variety. The staff who bring round the food as well as a trolley offering hot drinks or fruit juice are cheerful and friendly as well as punctual. Even the housekeeping staff were lovely. Although I'm sure all the staff were busy (for example, the care assistants take care of 6 patients on each shift), no one ever seemed to be under too much pressure and they always had time for a chat. They will arrange transport two and from the hospital if you need it, whether in an ambulance or by car, and even the drivers love working there. Some of the staff I met have worked there for many years, which speaks for itself. If I were referred to the Horder Centre rather than an NHS hospital or further surgery at any point I would feel confident that I would be well taken care of.

I recently had a laparoscopy with Mr Okaro and I couldn't be more grateful for the care I received. From the very beginning Mr Okaro was very professional,kind and took the time to explain everything clearly which immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and experience . The procedure itself went very well. Mr Okaro not only removed my fallopian tube as I was referred for but also treated my endometriosis at the same time. After the surgery he was patient and happy to answer any questions which I truly appreciate. I feel very fortunate to have been under his care and I would happily return to him for any future gynae concerns. I would highly recommend Mr Okaro to friends and family without a doubt. I also want to mention Justina who was my first point of contact before I made the decision to see Mr Okaro. Justina gave me the reassurance and explained everything I needed to know. Both Mr Okaro and Justina made the whole experience so much easier and im very thankful for their support.

Mr David Oliver

Plastic Surgeon

I had an upper and lower Blepharoplasty in August. I’ve been wanting this operation for over 10 years now. Once I had my consultation with Dr. Oliver I knew right away he was the surgeon for me. I had met a different surgeon previously ant a different hospital and was not confident with how he wanted to do things. Dr Oliver is such a lovely guy and I felt so confident in going ahead with my surgery. Everything was explained to me thoroughly. The operation went smoothly , no pain whatsoever. The hospital staff were amazing. So friendly and welcoming. The food in the hospital was amazing , felt like I was on holiday. I’m so pleased with my results, wish I had done it years ago. It has given me so much more confidence and I owe that to Dr Oliver.

Clayton Ward at Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Staff were excellent - both clinical and non clinical team members. Nothing was too much bother and they went over and above our expectations of the care we thought we would receive. We spent 2 nights on the Clayton Ward after I had an unplanned c section. As first time parents without close family nearby, the Clayton ward offered us the guidance, support and care we needed as a new family but also to allow me to get the appropriate medical care as part of post surgery recovery.

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.

Dr Finbar's Skin Clinic

Dermatology

Excellent experience. I developed a very angry rash on my lower face. Unable to obtain a dermatologist appointment for diagnosis and treatment, I found Dr Finbar’s clinic during an online search. I met with Dr Christina soon afterwards. She diagnosed the problem as perioral dermatitis and provided me with a treatment plan. My skin has completely healed and I am deeply grateful to the practice. I wish you ongoing success. Siobhan

Prof. Bassel Wattar

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I saw Prof Wattar following continued issues with breakthrough bleeding and little support available through my local surgery on menopause issues and challenges. It was a bit like a breath of fresh air as I finally talked to someone who made sense, knew what the problem was, and was able to address it quickly and easily. Super qualified, really easy to talk to and clearly very passionate about his practice, I’d highly recommend him.

At all times during the subsequent surgery, follow up procedures Dr Alexander has always given freely of his time, always explained in detail any issues or future expectations.
