Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

would like to make a complaint following an IPL treatment I had on 21/01/26. I had a consultation with Dr Branka and a subsequent telephone conversation with Krupa. I repeatedly asked this whether was risk of my symptoms being exacerbated by the treatment. I was repeatedly reassured that this would not happen. I had email exchanges with Krupa where she assured me repeatedly that the greatest reaction that I would get would be mild reddening around the eye lid for 30 mins. I had explained that I had a job interview the following day and was advised that would not be any reaction or issue. I was reassured both by email and in person on the day. My skin had a significant reaction to the procedure. The possibility of such a reaction to such a procedure had never been explained or even suggested. On meeting Dr Branka post procedure, she told me that my eyes weren’t dry, and in fact were significantly better. She said the tear break up was 7 seconds and that there had been an improvement, however I would like a second opinion on this, as they feel dryer and are visibly red, whereas they were not immediately beforehand. The visibly look and feel much worse than prior to the procedure. I completely feel like I’m being fobbed off. When I said to Dr Branka that I was not made aware of the risks she cheerfully old me that I signed the consent form and that of course there is the possibility of this reaction particularly with my very think skin. I was completely unaware that I had thin skin or that there could have been such a complication which would exacerbate my skin and eye problems. I explained that had a risk of this IPL been ‘worsening of dry eye symptoms, worsening of ocular rosacea/ rosacea’ I would have NEVER had the procedure. Dr Branka just said of course there was a risk and told me it happens in those people with rosacea. This had NEVER been mentioned in the consultation prior to the procedure. My eyes were not significantly bothersome prior to the treatment, I did it as a preventative to improve the gland and to avoid the dry eye disease progressing. When I asked Dr Branka what next in terms of how I manage this now worse situation she said that I can only use cotton flannels and saline as I am reactive to most things. She has told me I need to pay privately for a dermatologist for advice. This is not only causing me health problems but costing me money to resolve this. I have already spent over £700 for the consultation with dr Branka and the procedure! I am left anxious, distressed and upset by this experience and the ongoing problems. It has caused further issues with my skin. The rosacea was not posing a problem prior to the IPL and while I had been prescribed Soolantra and Azealic acid I had not needed to take them as I was not experiencing a flare up. I do not know where to go now for help, advice or to resolve this issue. I am really upset as my eyes and skin have worsened as a result and I am left alone to deal with it or pay out for help to try to correct it. Again, to reiterate, I would never have had IPL if I had known there was any risk of worsening symptoms. This was never explained, even when I explicitly asked initially. Dr Branka from from the outset said I was a good candidate but I needed to check with a dermatologist due to family skin cancer. I had checked this and the dermatologist said it would not be a problem from the perspective of skin cancer. I would like another opinion. I would like advice treatment and next steps. Not from dr Branka as all faith has gone.

I would like to begin by acknowledging the excellent care I received from the doctors during my first visit. Both clinicians went above and beyond, and I felt genuinely supported by them. Unfortunately, this high standard was not reflected in my interactions with the reception and administrative staff. After my consultation, the doctor provided me with a ticket for my next appointment and advised that, in the meantime, I should attend the imaging department for an ultrasound. When I arrived at imaging, the staff were dismissive and informed me that, because I was an NHS patient, they would need to write to my GP for a separate referral. I explained that the doctor had instructed me to have the ultrasound the same day. The staff member responded that if I waited in reception, she would speak to the doctor, adding that “quite often they don’t know how things are done.” I waited for an hour with no update. When I approached the desk to ask for news, the staff member replied, “I’m sorry, I forgot all about you,” and said she would speak to the doctor immediately. After she finally did so, the situation changed dramatically: I was suddenly offered an ultrasound appointment for 11:30 a.m. that same day — just an hour and a half later. It was clear that once the doctor became aware of the issue, the department acted quickly and efficiently, which I appreciated, especially as I live only ten minutes away. The ultrasound itself was carried out professionally, and the doctor performing it was excellent. He explained everything clearly and asked when my next appointment was. When I told him it was scheduled for six weeks later, he advised me to return to the main reception and request an earlier appointment, as his report would be completed that same day. However, when I approached reception, I was dismissed outright and told, “Doctors make appointments six weeks in advance — it is what it is.” Additionally, there was no record of my attendance on their system, only an appointment dated 23 March 2026, which, by their own admission, belonged to a different patient entirely. On reflection, while staff may appear polite on the surface, the reality of my experience was the opposite. The inconsistency, dismissiveness, and lack of coordination created unnecessary stress and undermined the otherwise excellent clinical care I received.

Dr Sunil Chopra

Dermatologist

I felt very confident in Dr Chopra, which was reassuring, and having Stephanie observe the consultation was also positive for her professional development. The advice I received aligned with my own independent analysis using AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, which further reinforced my confidence in both the diagnosis and the prescribed treatment plan. Dr Chopra also addressed additional concerns beyond the initial reason for my visit, offering a broader treatment approach, which I appreciated. While I understand that diagnosing multiple issues within a half-hour appointment is challenging, the consultation was helpful and provided the reassurance and confidence boost I was looking for.

Once Again Dr Chiraush Patel was outstandingly professional and kind. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment within an hour of calling. It cannot be overestimated how important it is to patients to have a well trained Doctor with exemplary bedside manner to help the patient to recovery. This is true of all the other GPs at One Stop, but I am lucky enough to see Dr Patel mostly. My standards are very high but Dr Patel exceeds them by miles every time I visit (I only visit sparingly). This is medicine at its very best and reminds me of when GPs were true family Dotors back before fundholding. I am fortunate indeed to have such excellent GPs. Thank you Dr Patel and OSD!

Mr Hisham Osman

General Surgeon

Mr Osman I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to my consultant and the entire breast team for the exceptional care I have received. My consultant is a true professional and a gentleman in every sense — calm, kind, and very personable. He made me feel at ease and supported throughout, and his communication was outstanding. The breast team have all been absolutely amazing. They were caring, professional, and always clear and reassuring. The care I received truly could not have been any better. I am extremely grateful to every member of the team. thank you so much

Dr James Thing

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I had a great experience with Dr James Thing while being treated for my knee pain. During my recent visit, the ultrasound-guided injection was performed with great skill and precision, and I felt rapid relief afterward, without any complications. Dr Thing is very professional, he was reassuring, and explained everything clearly throughout the procedure. I truly appreciate his expertise, as well as passion for making sure that patients are well looked after. I’m very grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend him to anyone with knee issues.

Dr Konrad Wronka

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Wronka performed a total right hip replacement on me in mid-November last year. I met him first at a consultation, then again on the morning of my surgery and also that afternoon after surgery. I also saw him for a follow-up appointment in January. He has a very kind professional manner and took time to explain the procedure itself as well as what to expect afterwards. He was direct and explained things clearly, answering my questions fully. The whole experience was superb and I would have no hesitation in recommending him. Excellent.

Dear Natasha, Thank you for your brilliant service, as always. I always feel so relieved after our sessions. I used to be unsure about physiotherapy and had tried several physiotherapists before, but you have completely changed my opinion. When my doctor referred me to you, he was confident that I would be satisfied—and he was absolutely right. I will now be his mirror copy in recommending you to others. Thank you so much for helping me regain my strength and confidence. I am truly grateful for your support and encouragement.

I honestly couldn't thank Daniela enough! She has done my scans for many years now and has always been clear, transparent and informative. I am usually an anxious person and she has always made the process easy and smooth. I accidentally booked another place for a scan a few years ago and the experience I received traumatised me until I went back to Daniela. I couldn't recommend her enough and genuinely trust her with all my scans. Daniela is great at her job, is honest and provides a very high level of service. 5 stars as always.

Ms Anastasia Rachmanidou

ENT Surgeon

I've had a really positive experience throughout with Dr Rachmanidou. She's extremely kind and caring and her explanation of the procedure and aftercare was very thorough. Dr Rachmanidou explained any possibly complications and made it very clear to me what I should look our for, and what action should be taken. I feel I've been in extremely good hands with Dr Rachmanidou and would recommend her to anyone seeking treatment. My full experience could not have been better.

Mr Daniel Williams

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to Daniel with a broken scaphoid that had been treated negligently by the NHS and was on pretty bad shape. From the first moment he reassured me that he could get a best possible case outcome, and detailed exactly what was needed both in terms of treatment and from myself to ensure proper healing. The treatment it's self went well, I felt in the loop at all times and I am incredibly pleased with my recovery. Daniel is a master of his craft.

Came for a pre op, lovely staff and lovely pre op Nurse, however I was sent for bloods, I wasn’t asked if a trainee could take them, she tried twice which was painful, before the nurse then took them on the third go in my other arm. Totally understand the need for training however, I had made it known that I hated needles and was not a good person to practice on, I unfortunately got up feeling very dizzy and sick, which for me was unnecessary.

Mr Abdul Kasem

Breast Surgeon

Mr. Kasem and his whole staff have been absolutely lovely throughout my diagnosis, surgery and aftercare process. Not only has Mr. Kasem been medically excellent, but from a patient care perspective, he has also been extremely kind, caring and positive throughout which gave me a lot of confidence that everything will be ok. I am very pleased with my bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction results and highly recommend him as a consultant.

Mrs Anshoo Choudhary

Ophthalmologist

I have been seeing Mrs Choudhary for an ophthalmic condition since 2013 ( initially as an NHS patient and privately since 2019 when I relocated to another County). I continue to choose her for her professionalism, kindness, and the trust I have in her care. Although I am always apprehensive before appointments, I consistently leave feeling reassured, uplifted and confident in my treatment.

The clinic itself is very well kept and clean and the doctors/staff are very friendly and knowledgeable providing me with all the information, and more, that I could possibly need with regards to my specific case. Overall very satisfied with my experience and would recommend to anyone with similar struggles/conditions.

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.
