Dr Chris Sawh

Cardiologist

I am mainly reviewing my experience of an angiogram + PCI on October 5th 2025, at Norwich & Norfolk hospital (also consultations elsewhere). The whole team provides a supportive and positive environment before and after the operation. Dr Sawh came and outlined the plan for the procedure. He always shows a calm confidence, a sense of being ready and focused, and the drive to do his best work and achieve the best result for you. There is a special team atmosphere in the operating theatre, supportive, engaged, learning, caring for you, and themselves also enjoying each other's company and work too. Dr Sawh clearly has a great relationship with them. The nurses pre and post-procedure are a lovely group too, creating a safe, caring and smiley environment which helps lower stress. In consultations at Ella May Barnes or elsewhere, Dr Sawh is always happy to answer detailed questions, even if when he asks me 'any more questions?', despite preparation, I often say no and then remember the thing I forgot to ask the moment I leave the room. If it's not too personal, I think Dr Sawh's photograph on the Spire website and elsewhere, captures his seriousness and professionalism about the work and his extremely high standards (you are in the best and safest hands), but I've always thought it doesn't quite capture his caring nature, his deep enjoyment at having a positive impact on others or the smile when he greets you and says farewell. I'm extremely grateful for his excellent care and brilliant work.

Mr Prodromos Laftsidis

General Surgeon

It has been almost four months since I donated a kidney to my husband, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Mr Prodromos Laftsidis as my Consultant Kidney Surgeon. From my very first consultation, he put me completely at ease — taking the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explain every aspect of the procedure, including both the benefits and potential risks. His calm, reassuring manner inspired great confidence before and after surgery, which was invaluable during such a challenging time. Mr Laftsidis’s exceptional surgical skill, combined with his compassion, professionalism, and excellent communication, made me feel as though I was his only patient. He also has a wonderful sense of humour, which he shares at just the right moments to lighten the mood. I am deeply grateful for his outstanding care and dedication, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a kidney specialist or surgeon.

Good evening, Today I received the official confirmation that I have passed my viva, and as I promised, I wanted to share this happiness with you. I am writing with overwhelming joy, remembering your support and the help that I will never forget. Thank you, Doctor, from the bottom of my heart—you truly saved my life. Before contacting you, I felt I had nothing, yet in less than a year I was able to complete my thesis. It is something I could hardly believe. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown in helping someone like me. I am currently arranging my trip to Saudi Arabia next week on Wednesday, and I will return for graduation next summer. I would like to ask whether you recommend that I continue the medication. If so, my current prescription lasts month, I may need to request more, as I found that only the first medication I used is available in Saudi Arabia.

Dr Rajiv Sood

Paediatrician

We took our baby to Dr Sood because he'd had diarrhea for 3 weeks and was chronically very spewy. Dr Sood diagnosed gastroenteritis, which is fine, but he also told us we shouldn't feed our (exclusively breastfed and four months old) baby more than every 3-4 hours, and that when he cried for milk sooner than that we should "put cotton wool in [our] ears". We've since been told by NHS doctors and health visitors that this is very old-fashioned advice that could cause dehydration in a diarrhetic baby. He also said to give 6 feeds a day, but we realised when we got home that it's not possible to follow both pieces of advice without waking him up in the night for extra night feeds! (We did tell Dr Sood that our baby sleeps 11 hours at night with just one night feed, but he didn't seem to believe us?)

Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast

Anaesthetics, Cardiothoracic Surgery, + 37 more

I recently underwent surgery at Kingsbridge Private Hospital, and I genuinely cannot put into words how grateful I am for the incredible care I received. From the moment my procedure was over, the nurses were by my side — kind, patient, and so comforting. They made me feel safe and completely at ease during a time that could have been overwhelming. My surgeon and nurse continued that same level of warmth and support throughout my aftercare. Their reassurance, responsiveness, and genuine concern for my wellbeing meant more to me than they probably realise. Their care and attention were truly outstanding — compassionate, professional, and heartfelt in every way. I am so thankful to each and every one of them, and I could not recommend Kingsbridge highly enough.

Mr Robert Lee

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr. Lee three years ago shortly after having a replacement Hip, due to pain in my spine From my first meeting I was most impressed with Mr. Lee, he was very professional and immediately I was confident that he could help me, in which time has proven he has done. I would have no hesitation in contacting Mr. Lee should the need arise or recommending him to anyone suffering back problems. Mr. Lee was a pleasure to meet and deal with and a wonderful consultant

Scheduling surgery for my son was a nerve-wracking experience, but from the moment we entered through the front door and met the caring receptionist and nurses, especially Cordelia, I felt reassured. Dr. Hamid Daya, the consultant, was gentle and attentive. The hospital was spotless and well-maintained, which gave me peace of mind. Overall, I am grateful for how smoothly everything went and for the compassionate care we received.

Harley Street Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

The whole experience of phoning first thing in the morning to make an appointment to have my earwax removel - through to later in morning when it was carried out felt like a “model” experience in care. My audiologist was patient, explained the process and worked efficiently to remove all the wax bringing much needed relief. She also gave me advice on oiling my ear to help the wax dispersal in future.

Mr Purnajyoti Banerjee

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I found the treatment received from Mr Banerjee and all the staff that I came into contact with at the London Spinal Unit really excellent. Mr Banerjee's diagnosis and, recommended treatment plan were first class. His explanations of complex issues were clear and, precise. His friendly and understanding manner were also much appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend both him and the LSU.

Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital

Would highly recommend Mr Sahu. He was thorough and took the time to explain my situation to me. It was reassuring to know that the treatment I had already been receiving for my AMD was appropriate but he also highlighted the need for cataract surgery in both eyes. No other professionals had said this to me. This could make a difference to my sight for a bit longer. Thank you.

Mr Enyi Ofo

ENT Surgeon

I recently had nose surgery with Dr. Ofo and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely professional throughout the entire process, making me feel informed and comfortable from start to finish. The surgery went incredibly well, and I can already breathe so much better. I’m very pleased with the results and highly recommend Dr. Ofo.

I had a zoom meeting, so can't really comment on cleanliness or the physical practice. The assessor was amazing, really friendly and took things at my pace. I love the format, ending on a positive after almost 2 hours talking about all the ways I felt like I'm failing at life really made a difference to my outlook the rest of the day.

Mr Dan Shaerf

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shaerf was warm, professional and thorough. Could not have wished for a better experience! My son (age 14) felt completely at ease, and Mr Shaerf expertly assessed the problem clinically, and performed meticulous examination. We felt utterly cared for, and in a secure position to understand next steps. Thank you Mr Shaerf!

Spire Fylde Coast Hospital

My initial visit was for trigger thumb release surgery. The waiting time following arrival was minimal. The bedroom was comfortable and clean. The surgery itself was amazing despite being anxious - the team were very friendly and focused on making you relax. The aftercare visit was in line with this.

Dr Rahul Mogal

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Mogal is polite, friendly and is willing to explain everything very clearly, so that I can understand my care and what he’s thinking. He explained how I should use my nasal sprays and inhalers, telling me what the maximum doses of each are and now they work in my body.
