The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

Dr. Lewis Raiman

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I came into St Joseph’s on the 10th of January for a Abdominoplasty procedure, from entering the hospital and being greeted professionally by the reception, to the assistant who came down to reception to collect me and show me your my room, went smoothly and l would say, the highest stand l have had at a private hospital. The ward staff attended to me immediately, carried out their pre-op checks, were very informative in terms of time of the procedure etc, l couldn’t have been made more comfortable and cared for. The cleanliness and room was outstanding, l have had a number of stays at private hospitals over a period of 15 years and St Joseph’s is the leader from all parts of the service provided, your hospital should be used to show others how to set the highest standards, which you certainly excel at. Mr Wilson was outstanding too, from our initial consultation to the surgery and aftercare. I recurved a call from St Joseph’s on the 3 day after being discharged to check on my progress, which l wasn’t expecting but very much appreciated it. I have received the highest of care and everyone l met was amazing. Thank you for everything you did for me.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Emersons Green

Dentistry, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 6 more

I always have a good experience when visiting the practice. The staff are always friendly. However, on the last visit I think there are things you guys need to review. I was in for a gel injection into my knee which was being carried out by Mr Dehne in the theatre. He had previously confirmed that it would be a simple procedure and that after a short time I would be fine to drive home. However, on arrival it was clear that the team believed I was in for a knee replacement. I was shown to my own room, asked to select from the menu for the following day, and given medication that I assume I didn't require! Further more, the team were loathed to let me drive home and I had to wait a couple of hours until they could check with Mr Dehne that it would be ok as all the paperwork confirmed otherwise. The theatre staff were double checking with me the reason for my visit so there was a checking procedure in place but you may need to review why there was confusion in the first place.

VISIO Health

Ophthalmology

WOW amazing! I have worn glasses since I was 16 (53 years), initially to see the blackboard! Recently my eyesight deteriorated due to cataracts and I was referred to Visio. I was very nervous about having the operation but in retrospect should not have worried, it really was not stressful. I had Trifocal Lenses fitted by Ms Ranjit Sandhu and would describe the result as amazing and transformational. I was hoping for my eyesight to return to my pre cataract vision, it did far more than this as I now have excellent unaided vision for distance as well as for near. I now have better vision than I have ever had before, and don’t need glasses anymore! I was advised before the operation that a side effect may be an increase in Halo & Glare when driving at night, however, I have not experienced this and am very comfortable with my night driving vision. In summary my vision has been transformed thanks to Visio and I would highly recommend them.

Mr Ryan Higgin

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Throughout this process, Mr Higgin has given me complete confidence towards a positive outcome. It has been eight weeks since I had my left hip replaced by Mr Higgin and his team, and I cannot believe the improvement in my strength, overall posture, and flexibility of movement down my left side. The lift to my self-esteem and wellbeing has also been incredible. I now see light where as before I was clouded by the pain and discomfort. I only have thanks and gratitude for what Mr Higgin has given me. I now have so much positivity when visualising the feeling I will experience once I have my right hip replaced as my livelihood as a gardener depended on the outcome I have described above and was also explained to me by Mr Higgin when we met in September...I cannot thank him enough for making this a reality.

Dr Chris Rutkowski

Consultant Allergist

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr Rutkowski for his exceptional professionalism and expertise. He took great care in clearly explaining complex allergy findings and provided thoughtful, evidence-based insight that helped me fully understand my condition. What I valued most was his ability to link the allergy assessment meaningfully to fitness to practise within the healthcare industry, addressing my concerns with clarity, reassurance, and clinical precision. His approach was not only thorough but also compassionate, and it gave me confidence in both my health management and professional responsibilities. I am very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Dr Rutkowski to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, careful, and genuinely supportive immunologist.

Mr Hywel Davies

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From my first visit Mr Davies was From my initial appointment at Spire Healthcare, I found all staff to be extremely informative, professional, and helpful. Upon meeting my surgeon, Mr Davies, he provided clear and comprehensive information regarding my knee replacement surgery and took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. The theatre, nursing, and ward staff were excellent from the moment I arrived for surgery through to my discharge, and I felt well cared for throughout my stay. I would highly recommend Mr Davies. The high standard of care I received meant that I felt completely at ease and had no hesitation in returning three months later to undergo my second knee replacement.

Daye

Diagnostics & Testing, Infectious Diseases, + 2 more

From start to finish Daye is intuitive and easy to use. I’ve done many online health tests prior to this but nothing compares to the level of service Daye provides. For clarity I did the full screen and purchased the 30 min nurse call. The sample is beyond easy to take and post. The results came back fast and were clear to understand, on top I was sent a beautiful kind email and was also offered a free call to over my HPV results. I didn’t use this but my 30 min call with the nurse was invaluable. I would have been happy to pay triple the price for the service I received. I will be 100% using Daye again and have already recommended to friends.

Nutrition, Osteopathy, + 4 more

I'd laboured under my shoulder injury for 6 months, and Chris was able to achieve vast improvements in comfort and ability within weeks. Chris was impressively professional and meticulous, a pleasure to visit and I always felt willing to go the extra mile to explain the process to me and make detailed recommendations. This has really brought about a transformation in my quality of life, and I'm delighted to be back doing the things I love. Almost two months after first visiting the clinic, I am fully recovered- absolutely game-changing, could not recommend enough.

Meliora Medical Group

Physiotherapy, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I recently visited Meliora Medical Facilities and was genuinely impressed. From the very first moment, I was welcomed by friendly, professional staff and a clean, well-organized environment. The level of expertise and experience they bring, combined with the care and respect they show to their patients, is truly top class. It is five-star service in every sense. I would highly recommend them, and this will definitely be my one and only medical group for any future rehabilitation or treatment.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

Disappointed I had to wait 20 minutes for an appointment first thing in the morning, however everything else was positive. Waiting area and treatment room were both tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Some additional work required and dentist took me through options for treatment and resulting cost. Dental work was very good and pain free(!). Payment all completed to my satisfaction. Overall, a positive experience

Dr. Finbar McGrady

General Practitioner

I had a skin lesion that I was worried about, and booked into Dr Finbar's for a consultation. From my initial consultation where I was seen so quickly, to the procedure and testing, it was all under 4 weeks from start to finish. All of the staff are lovely, particularly the nurse Elaine who explained the aftercare in detail and really put my mind at ease. Would recommend the clinic and the staff.

Dr Anastasia Mermigka

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr. Mermigka is a fantastic consultant. I was particularly impressed by how she explained my treatment options; she used clear language and made sure I understood every step of the process. I felt I could ask any question without being rushed. It is clear she is an expert in her field, and her calm approach made the whole experience very stress-free. A top-quality service from start to finish

Dr Israa Al-Shakarchi

Rheumatologist

Generally, people try to avoid visiting hospitals if they can. But Sincerely I look forward to seeing Dr Al-Sakarachi for the incredible efficiency she puts into her work, being 85, she makes me feel that she is my daughter and my therapist. The NHS service should be proud to have such an amazing Dr in it's team. I'm greatful to her from the deep of my heart.

Dr Venkatesh Subramanian

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a really positive experience from start to finish with Dr Venkatesh Subramanian. He took the time to explain everything related to the procedure and let me know that I could ask questions at any time. The procedure itself was quick and successful and I'm grateful to Dr Venkatesh Subramanian and the team for taking care of me throughout.
