Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

As someone who has always been really nervous of childbirth, I couldn’t be happier with my decision to deliver my baby with Dr Bhatti. She has a reassuring confidence about her, I knew I was in safe hands from day 1. I have a really bad needle phobia which Dr Bhatti was really understanding about and never once made me feel like this was an issue, but was happy to talk through the various options throughout my pregnancy and birth and the needles involved and how we might manage it. She was always honest and direct. She was always available for any worries throughout my pregnancy- I once contacted her on a Sunday evening and she responded immediately and had me in the hospital for some blood tests within the hour. My c-section birth was a truly positive experience, which is quite unbelievable based on how afraid I am of medical procedures. Recovery was straightforward and Dr Bhatti’s skillful hand even managed to save my tattoo near my c-section scar. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to feel confident of being in good hands in their pregnancy and birth.

Mr James Neffendorf

Ophthalmologist

I went to my optician thinking that the problem with my right eye was to do with a cataract. It was not. It was a detached retina. It was referred to Queen Mary's Hospital on Wednesday by my.optician as a matter of urgency .They initially said that due 3 week period I had left things very little could be done. However on the Friday I got a call from Kings to attend that afternoon. I did and saw Dr. Neffendorf. He explained exactly what was wrong. How he thought that despite time lapse, my fault, he thought something could be done. 70 to 80.percent chance of success. Went for preop on Monday and had surgery the next day. Since then every day the eyesight has got a little better. I owe Dr Neffendorf sight in my right eye. I will be eternally grateful. Throughout the process Dr Neffendorf has been excellent explaining what to do at every stage of recovery. Just brilliant.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

My original appointment was with Mr Kamran Saha, as it was thought that I had a which Mr Saha confirmed it was not but rather a cyst. As this was not his expertise, he referred me to Miss Swan Kang who confirmed it was a cyst and arranged an excision. During the procedure Miss Kang noticed a second cyst next to the big one which she also removed and sent both off for biopsies. Amazingly 6 days later there are no visible signs of any incisions apart from some slight redness in the area. I am super happy with the results and grateful to Mr Saha for referring me to Miss Kang. I was also very impressed by Robyn for taking care of all the underlying preparations for both consultations and the minor op which took less than 2 days to complete!!! Kudos to Robyn for managing everything so swiftly and efficiently.

I had a total knee replacement and from start to present, I have been treated amazingly. All staff are amazing and simply brilliant at their job and in particular care of patients. Special mention to Salmon (Sal) who looked after me on the day post operation. he was superb, so helpful and patient. The team that looked after me immediately post op, were terrific, so kind and understanding. Mr Gillespie's pre-operating team were so reassuring especially when I was so nervous regarding the spinal block. Thank you to everyone for such superb care and attention. Although I was in tremendous pain post op, I can now reflect and appreciate who well I was looked after and especially the individual care and attention displayed by the team - very simply 'thank you'

Dr Tapesh Pakrashi

Cardiologist

My initial consultation with Dr Pakrashi was incredibly reassuring from the moment I stepped in. The team were welcoming, efficient and calmly organised, which immediately put me at ease during what had been an anxious period for me. The cardiologist took time to listen carefully, explain everything clearly, and walk me through the plan in a way that felt both thorough and human. I genuinely left the appointment feeling understood and supported, with the sense that my concerns were being handled with real expertise. Overall, the experience was excellent—professional, compassionate and refreshingly unrushed. I’m very grateful for the quality of care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone needing a cardiology assessment.

I had an outstanding experience at The Fortius Clinic. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely cared for and understood. The environment was calm, welcoming, and instantly put me at ease. Every member of the team showed exceptional kindness, expertise, and sincerity, which made me feel truly supported throughout my visit. Dr. Joideep Phadnis demonstrated the same remarkable professionalism and compassion—he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and personalise my treatment with great care. I left feeling confident, reassured, and extremely grateful. The Fortius Clinic’s dedication to empathy and exceptional patient care is truly extraordinary. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

My experience was very disappointing with the consultant. I was happy for my appointment to be changed just before attending due to the consultant running late. I was very disappointed with the lack of interest and time shown to be by the consultant. I got 10 minutes of his time to be told to cut out caffeine at the cost of £250. I was hoping to receive some understanding of what could be causing recurrent UTI's and reassuring me of any fears of anything sinister i.e bladder cancer. Only to be told this only occurs for around 10/20% of cases. I think what really irked me was he looked at his watch part way through me speaking This I found very disrespectful and rude.

Received urgent call requesting blood test for tolerance to Dye. I Moved appointments for that afternoon to facilitate a flying visit. After arrival kept waiting for 35 minutes until I asked reception as was needed elsewhere and was told phlebotomist would be with me shortly. With Phlebotomist approx 3 minutes, total time 50 minutes and 50 miles traveled Then had to wait 9 days for scan which was only scheduled following chase-up from private GP. On presenting for CT Scan was told that they did not require blood test as procedure did not indicate use of dye. Most unimpressive communication and administration throughout

Dr. Geetha Gandluru

Paediatric Psychiatrist, Psychiatrist

It would really help to recieve more accurate information on the assessment procedure before attending. Details such as if parent remains with child, if appointment also needs a seperate parent meeting and an indicator of when diagnosis would be made. It didn’t really tie up with pdf sent on welcome email. Would be better to schedule in parent appointment at a similar time as first child assessment appointment, or/ and make it clear this is the procedure. Phoning up Harley mind care prior to attending did not help me to understand & actually conflicted with what happened at appointment.

Mr James Self

Ophthalmologist

Dr. James Self was absolutely wonderful with my 4-year-old son. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel comfortable and welcomed, which really helped ease my child’s nerves. Dr. Self was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle, and he took the time to explain everything in a way my son could understand. He made the entire eye exam fun and stress-free, which is not always easy with a young child! My son felt relaxed and even excited during the visit. As a parent, I truly appreciated how thorough Dr. Self was and how clearly he explained my son’s eye health to me.

Mr Divyang Shukla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shukla greeted me warmly when he called me into his office at my appointment time. He examined my arthritic left knee and explained the extent of the damage. The options of treatment were given and I said I am happy to go ahead with a total replacement. The possible problems were discussed which I accepted. NHS and Private treatment and the time scale of carrying out treatment was given. Private was my choice. The whole meeting was carried out in a very positive caring manner and any questions I had were answered.

Dr Maja Uherek

Oncologist

It really was an excellent consultation, Dr Uherek had allowed plenty of time to explain to my wife and I every aspect of my forthcoming treatments, and answer all of our questions, she provided further guidance on diet and exercise, including special deals on gym membership through McMillans. The doctor also went of other aspects of my health and provided useful guidance. I can’t remember the last time I felt that totally satisfied after a hospital consultation.

The Prostate Centre

I had an outstanding experience with Mr Arumuham and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first appointment, Mr. Arumuham demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion. They took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained every step of the evaluation and treatment process in clear and reassuring terms, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Thank you so much!!!

Dr. Felicity Taylor

Paediatrician

Dr. felicity put myself and children at ease from the moment we saw her, she was so clear in explaining things in a child friendly manor, she carried out a much wider range of checks that we had ever had with previous doctors and her aftercare has also been incredible. We feel very lucky to have found Dr. Felicity and would happily and already have recommended her to many friends and family .

Spire Little Aston Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology)

I would totally recommend Little Aston hospital and Mr Goswami as my surgeon and his team of professionals who work closely with him since I was in a lot of pain with my foot and due to my profession needed the operation. You are in such good hands and the team make you feel at ease and deliver the best possible care- with you as a priority
