Professor Roman Cregg

Anaesthetist

I was referred to Dr Cregg for continuing pain after endometriosis surgery. He examined me and told me that I could ask to stop at any time. When the examination became painful I forgot how to ask him to stop, so he didn’t. Afterwards he did apologise for it being painful. The room at the Fortius did not feel set up for intimate exams. I had emailed his secretary some of my previous notes, which she confirmed she had received, but Dr Cregg did not have access to them at my appointment. He said he wanted to coordinate with the other specialties I was under regarding ongoing investigations, then didn’t. He said that bloating and distension are the same thing, but they are not. He wanted to refer me for an MRI to check for any issues with muscles or nerves, including endometriosis. He said we could discuss my questions later then took me to sign forms and disappeared, it was really unclear that was the end of the appointment. I was told when I booked that the first appointment would be 50 minutes, but in total it was maximum 30 minutes. I was then told by his secretary when to book an appointment to follow up with the results. The working day before, his secretary emailed me (not phoned) to cancel the appointment as my MRI had not yet been reported on. I had already booked a follow up appointment with my gynaecologist the afternoon of this planned appointment to discuss Dr Cregg’s findings, which I could now not change without being charged as I saw the email less than 24 working hours before. I told his secretary that my insurance plan was changing and I really needed the MRI results beforehand to have time for any potential treatment / surgery to still be covered. It was a lot of hassle to get the report, and when I eventually did see Dr Cregg he said I needed to follow up with my gynaecologist (again) to discuss one of the findings. He was late to the follow up appointment because he had double booked the slot, which he did apologise for. I told him the pain and vomiting were getting worse and felt unmanageable on my current medications. He told me to stop taking opioids and that he would never have prescribed them in the first place (which my other doctors disagreed with since I was only using them for flare ups); that he didn’t think I should start neuromodulators but didn’t explain why (several doctors wanted me to, I am now on a low dose for gastro issues and find it helpful); that I needed to use less heat for the pain; that pain can cause nausea and vomiting but he wouldn’t advise on antiemetics and to ask gastro instead (who then said that wasn’t her area either). He said the pain was from myofascial pain syndrome affecting the pelvic floor, with hormones causing flare ups. He didn’t listen when I said the pain he found felt very different to my flare up pain. He wanted me to do pelvic physio, which I’d already recently finished treatment with and my physio said she had checked the same areas he found to be painful. He said this could be with or without pelvic floor injections. I told him I didn’t feel I had enough information to decide, to which he replied that I had this conversation (?), the letter, and I could book an additional appointment if I wanted - I’m unsure how this would’ve helped. When I received the letter it said the injections were CT guided and done under sedation, which he had not mentioned. Later when I spoke with my insurance they wanted to know why the sedation was necessary, which I could not answer. He uses some sort of AI assistance during appointments but doesn’t explain beforehand. Both my letters have several mistakes. He did emphasise in the letter that his diagnosis was separate from endometriosis in order for my insurance to cover treatment for me. I tried removing my IUS and have had no pain or vomiting since. My gynaecologist now thinks the IUS was causing my flare ups. So I don’t believe Dr Cregg’s treatment plan would’ve worked. I have since seen another pelvic physio for a second opinion who said since I now have no pain, she doesn’t think I should pursue his treatment plan. I have not been able to reproduce the pain from his examination, so she thought possibly I was nervous and tense in his appointment.

Professor Graeme Hopper

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After nearly six years of seeing multiple specialists and being told there was nothing wrong with my knee — and that I simply needed to strengthen it — I was feeling incredibly frustrated and unheard. During that time, I experienced repeated episodes where my knee would completely lock. The pain was agonising, and I would have to wait, unable to move my leg, until the meniscus shifted back into place. When I was finally referred to Mr Hopper, he identified the problem within 15 minutes of examining me. After years of uncertainty, it was such a relief to feel listened to and understood. I underwent meniscus repair surgery a couple of months later and am now seven weeks post-operation. Although I still have a few months of rehabilitation and recovery ahead of me, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful that I will truly have my life back. The difference already has been life-changing. Before surgery, I was constantly cautious and anxious about my movements, worried my knee would lock again. Now I feel so much more confident and comfortable. Mr Hopper was supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. After the operation, he personally came to see me and clearly explained what the issue had been and exactly how he had repaired it, which I really appreciated. I cannot recommend him highly enough — truly a 10 out of 5.

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I can’t recommend Dr Emily Cary highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through the early stages of perimenopause. From our very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, understood, and reassured during what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Her knowledge, calm approach, and clear explanations helped me make sense of my symptoms and feel confident about the next steps. She took the time to tailor my care to me as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Thanks to her support and guidance, I feel far more informed, supported, and positive about managing this transition. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any woman at the start of their menopause journey.

Mr David William Birchley

General Surgeon

Mt Birchley was very professional in his approach to clearly explaining in lay mans terms what the procedure would entail and its possible down sides. Very reassuring manner. The overall experience was excellent, from check in through to departure. The attention given to explaining facilities was thorough for not only safety procedures, also what the accommodation had to offer. All needs were met. The nursing care at all stages was outstanding. The staff were friendly and professional, putting one at ease throughout the stay. The food provided after surgery was excellent. Very well presented on real crockery. I would highly recommend anyone requiring services by Mr Birchley and the facilities provided by Nuffield.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt genuinely cared for and supported. The whole team went above and beyond, and I am incredibly grateful for the kindness, dignity, and exceptional care I received.

Friends Medical Service

Audiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

I attended tonight for a scan of my hands with Dr Patterson. On arrival I was welcomed at reception, checked in quickly and asked to take a seat in the waiting room. Breda then came out and called me to attend the consultation room, introductions were made, and Dr Patterson then performed my scan, he was professional, and provided information relevant to my condition. The whole consultation was a pleasure and demonstrated the significance difference a private company can make to a struggling NHS. Thankyou both again for such a positive experience.

Dr Vishal Nayak

Cosmetic Doctor

I had my hair transplant at the end of April 2025, and from the moment I arrived, I was made to feel completely at ease. The entire team were incredibly professional, friendly, and reassuring throughout the day. I spent the whole day at the clinic, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The care and attention to detail were outstanding. The results have been unbelievable, and I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant. Brilliant experience – thank you so much!

Mr Andrew Mishreki

General Surgeon

I chose to go privately with Mr Mishreki, as he had treated me before at my local NHS hospital, and the NHS waiting list was too long. In all my dealings with him, he was excellent, he explained what he would be doing before and how things would progress after my operation. There was a small problem after the operation which he dealt with very quickly and professionally. He is pleasant and easy to talk to and seems supportive to his team. I would recommend him to anyone with similar problems to me.

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

The staff were friendly and kept me updated with what was happening. The only thing that I believed could have been handled slightly different was the ordering of food. Prior to my operation I was asked to choose food for after the operation and for the next day. As you would imagine the last thing I was thinking about was food. I believe the choices could have been better timed, however this doesn’t take away from the fact I was well looked after in a clean professional environment.

Dr. Chantal Burgess

Dentist

Dr Chantal made tooth extraction it was so easy for me and no pain at all. The whole procedure was done so smoothly, gently and pain free Hats off. I would say that she has such a magic hand. I was very very nervous but she made me calm, relaxed n explained it to me twice very nicely with calmness and smile. After the extraction, jade nurse explained to me very well the after care I needed to follow. A big 5 star to both of them. Highly recommended Dr. Chantal...

Dr Syed Saboor

Respiratory Doctor

I recently visited Dr Saboor to discuss my biopsy results, and I am extremely grateful for the care and professionalism shown throughout the process. The doctor explained everything clearly and patiently, answering all my questions and reassuring me. Thankfully, the biopsy results were benign, and the way the news was communicated made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I truly appreciate the compassionate and supportive approach. Highly recommended.

Zenvité

General Practice (GP), General Practice (GP) (Video Consultation), + 4 more

Attending Zenvite is a completely different experience from NHS surgeries. The whole environment is calmer and much more welcoming, and you are immediately put at ease Dr Alex was very pleasant and reassuringly thorough. I feel as though I'm in the best hands at Zenvite, and will be taking other members of my family there as required. These days this level of care is well worth the investment. Thank you.

Dr. Matthew Oates

General Practitioner

From the minute I entered the practice Dr Oates was very welcoming and made me feel at ease. Having had a bad experience with my current NHS GP, Dr Oates couldn't be further from that! He genuinely took an interest in why I was there to see him and ran through all my options with me. I couldn't be happier with the service provided and will recommend him to friends and family.

Lucas has been brilliant to work with. He’s easy to talk to, really listens, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. Sessions never feel rushed, and he always knows how to get to the root of whatever’s going on. I’ve noticed real improvement since seeing him, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Definitely someone I’d recommend.

GenesisCare Cambridge

Always very friendly. Generally a delay before the treatment I would, however, like to thank the radiographer Ellen Dear for the care she put into supporting my mother during her treatment The concern over non cancer related issues and the advice she gave, all with her cheery demeanour, really made the experience so much more bearable Many thanks Ellen

Beautiful Lifestyle Health Clinic

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Iulia. I explained my situation to her, and she was extremely available, kind, and attentive while listening to me. We were able to discuss my concerns openly and work together to find suitable solutions. I truly appreciated her professionalism and her empathetic approach. I would definitely recommend her.
