Mr Tahir Mahmud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I underwent a unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in November 2025 performed by Mr Mahmud, and I am extremely pleased with both the surgical outcome and the overall care I received. From the initial consultation, Mr Mahmud was clear, measured, and reassuring. He explained why a UKR was appropriate in my case, whilst also providing me with alternative options. He set realistic expectations about recovery, which have proven to be very accurate. I felt well informed and confident proceeding with surgery. My recovery has progressed exactly as advised and whilst there has been some stiffness and swelling I have felt improvements day by day. One of the most noticeable improvements for me was how smooth the knee felt when bending — the grinding and grating sensation I experienced pre-operatively has now gone completely. I have received an additional benefit in significantly reduced hip pain due to the realigned knee joint, this was noticable from early in my post op recovery period and has maintained throughout. I have now been discharged from physiotherapy with no restrictions, clear guidance to self-manage progression, and confidence in the strength and stability of the implant. That reassurance has been invaluable as I’ve returned to exercise and everyday activity. Overall, the care was professional, calm, and expertly delivered. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with my knee at 10 weeks post op. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Mahmud to anyone considering a partial knee replacement.

Dr Robin Lawrence

Psychiatrist

I have been under the care of Dr Robin Laurence for 10 years , Robin diagnosed me saved my life from one of the most dangerous horrific forms of Bipolar and depresion illness that rarely people survive or doctors can treat not only did he save my life he has been involved in me rebuilding my life he has had my back and been in my corner and gone to any lengths possible with the upmost kindness and respect ,when ever I have needed his help he has been there one of the greatest gifts he and 96 harley street has given me is the gift of hope against an illness that tried to kill me through suicide where I did not want to live for that I am ever gratefull.I would also like it to be known the practice of 96 Harley street and there staff also hold the same principles as Robin there service and professionalism is second to none but it also based on compassion and firm principles of integrity honesty and genuine care.Battling a mental illness can be a question of a life or death battle I was also misdiagnosed by the NHS and Robins diagnosis and expertise was the correct one and path I followed and I am only here today because of it.Lastly I would like to say Robin has allways worked allongside me in my treatment and the Dr patient team work has been the difference of make or break.Writing this today I am on the caribean coast in Mexicos paradise alive safe and well it took years to get to this point but both myself and Robin never gave up.Thank you with Love Robin Laurance and all at 96 Harley street .

Dr Arif Aslam

Dermatologist

When my BCC diagnosis was confirmed, it was very scary and I wondered how things would progress and what outcome could be achieved. The first stage was to research the options. The main one being to identify the best procedure and the best surgeon. MOHS surgery came out as the best option for success, in terms of reoccurrence and the overall cosmetic appearance. Dr Aslam topped the list to perform this surgery. The initial consultation with Dr Aslam proved I had made the right choice. From the very start I felt confident and reassured. On the day of the surgery I was naturally very nervous. However, Dr Aslam and his excellent team helped considerably to reduce any tension. The whole team, Lisa, Gina and Sheila made conversation throughout the surgery and as such it was possible to have a couple of laughs. Don’t be afraid about being awake. The results? Well I could not be more pleased. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and to say I am pleased is an understatement. I am genuinely thrilled. My second “follow up” appointment was today (3 weeks after surgery) and Dr Aslam is equally thrilled. I can’t finish this review without mentioning Claire, the very efficient and helpful secretary to Dr Aslam. Please be in no doubt that choosing Dr Aslam and his team will, in my opinion be the best choice you can make. Terese

Mr Huw Oliphant

Ophthalmologist

I had my upper Bleph done with Dr Huw last week and I can’t even explain how much better the experience was than I had imagined. I was expecting it to be a lot more traumatic procedure wise, and to have really bad bruising etc judging from the other peoples I’d seen online! From start to finish Huw was so professional but just very down to earth and honest. I got really good vibes from the very first consultation, I always go on my gut feeling and knew he was the person I wanted to do my surgery. I like that he prefers to do a more natural enhancement than completely change your look! I didnt feel any pain throughout the surgery and felt very comfortable from start to finish, my results I am so so happy with! I didn’t bruise or look how I imagined, I know it’s down to skin type /the individual etc but I’m sure the majority of it is down to the surgeon which shows how good Dr Hew is at his job. I can’t recommend him enough and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have this treatment done. I feel so much more confident too. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Kernow Psychiatry

Psychiatry

After many months of difficulties prompted by the sudden loss of my husband, I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Communication with Kernow Psychiatry has been very responsive and I booked an initial appointment to discuss my mental health difficulties. Dr Reid welcomed me into a comfortable room at the wellness hub, she immediately put me at ease and took care make sure I was settled and ready to start. After the hour, Dr Reid summarised what she saw as the key priorities to getting me back on an even keel, suggesting a clear approach to addressing my intersecting issues. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment and the start of my recovery treatment plan. I only wish I’d followed my instincts sooner and booked in months ago.

Ms Rebecca Wilson

Breast Surgeon

Having been under the care of Rebecca for 4 months now, I can honestly say the care, kindness, professionalism, advice, information she has provided has been second to none and invaluable throughout my journey, Rebecca is always reassuring happy to answer any questions and go over anything which I’m unsure of, explaining things in depth, and whilst I appreciate Rebecca has a long line of patients to see, I’ve never felt rushed and I’m given as much time as needed at each appointment, Rebecca has also performed 2 surgeries on me, and on surgery days continues to make you feel at ease, walking you through the process of what’s going to happen. I have not experienced anything negative at all whilst under Rebecca’s care.

St Joseph’s Hospital

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

Professor Malcolm Finlay

Cardiologist

I first saw Professor Finlay as an NHS patient in January 2025 and one of the first things he said was that he could definitely improve my heart arrhythmia and improve my quality of life. He was right. He explained everything clearly without a lot of medical jargon and listened to my concerns. He is down to earth and doesn’t sugar coat things. He has seen me regularly for consultations and carried out another procedure when it became necessary. In these days where it’s sometimes difficult to trust people, I can honestly say that I trust Professor Finlay 100% to do the very best for me. I feel great and at 82 looking forward to travelling to Cairo next month.

Cromwell Hospital

Allergy Medicine, Audiology, + 17 more

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

Thyroid blood test. Never been before. Autistic so some challeges : a sign on door to push would have helped, it was intimidating, couldn’t get in straight away. An area with reduced lighting to wait would have reduced my overwhelm, was very close to waiting outside. Became very overwhelmed trying to explain which test I had booked, knew there was a fault on the website. Although the situation was rectified satisfactorily, it was still an overwhelming, triggering experience.

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

Incredibly long wait times, and very poor communication. Repeated requests for infiormation I've already given them and they kept changing which "portal" they wanted to use. The diagnoses for one condition came as an email, with no human touch, no next steps, no follow-up. Was just left to fend for myself. The diagnoses for the other condition was by video call, with a very disenterested practitioner who clearler didn't take on board the severity of my struggles.

Dr. Ricky Shamji

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I came to Dr Ricky with tibial pain, Dr Ricky took the time to understand my pains and the symptoms/issues I have struggled with along with what activity may be symptomatic. Dr Ricky Shamji referred me to an MRI scan and explained the results thoroughly to my understanding. From here we worked through a plan to recovery and returning to health. Throughout, Ricky has been personable, understanding, helpful and confiding. Thanks again for your support

Ms Manju Singh

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Miss Singh is the epitome of professional. She treats patients with respect as well as kindness. She tells you it straight and I truly like that. But she is supportive and gives you fabulous advice on how to move forward. She tells you what you need to know and has your best interests fully at heart. I trust her fully and would recommend her to all my family and friends. Infact I sent my daughter to see her for a check up!!

I was recommended Active X Clinic in Edinburgh for osteopathy by a friend who has been going there for many years, as I have lower back pain. Gavin talked me through everything and I felt listened to and comfortable. I felt immediate relief afterwards and plan to receive further treatment. I would definitely recommend them, very professional.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

All the staff I met introduced themselves and explained what I was going to do. I opted for the throat spray only and the procedure was carried out efficiently and I was constantly reassured. Not a nice experience to have the gastroscopy without sedation but I was very well looked after by all the staff at Eastwood. Thankyou

Spire Southampton Hospital

Pre and post surgery care was generally very good. I had an uncomfortable night post surgery but this was to be expected. The nursing staff were late to get me up in the morning but this was due to an emergency with another patient. The staff took great care to ensure that I was ready for discharge later that day.
