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.

Mr Christian Brown

Urologist

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Christian Brown, who treated me for prostate cancer and performed my surgery. From my very first consultation with him through to my recovery, his care has been outstanding. Mr Brown's manner put me at ease immediately. He combined genuine warmth and compassion with exceptional professionalism, making what could have been an overwhelming experience far more manageable. His communication was exemplary, he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions thoroughly, and ensured I understood each stage of my treatment and what to expect. His expertise and skill as a surgeon are evident in my excellent recovery. The surgery went extremely well, and I've been impressed by how smoothly my recovery has progressed. Throughout my entire journey, Mr Brown has inspired complete confidence. He is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, providing reassurance at every step towards my wife as well as towards me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under his care. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing a similar diagnosis.

Overall experience was poor. After initial consultation I had little or no contact with the hospital, any contact was initiated by myself. Clear lack of communication between departments. I had already paid for my procedure and waiting for a surgery slot. Surgery was scheduled for a Wednesday but received a call the Friday before basically saying if I didnt drive up that day and do a blood test, the operation couldn't go ahead. Luckily I was in a position where I could do that but imagine if I had kids, couldn't get out of work, had no car/transport. The list goes on. The actual surgery seems to have gone well. (1 week post op). But.... the whole experience was pretty poor, no, very poor. I'd have been upset if this was the NHS but this was a privately paid procedure and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already booked time off work, staff cover, kennels for my Cane Corso's (which wasn't cheap) I genuinely would have asked for my money back and gone somewhere else.

Dr Hari has been an incredible to our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very beginning, he has approached my mum’s care with compassion, calmness and genuine understanding. His manner is reassuring without ever being dismissive, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoughtfully. In such an overwhelming situation, that steady, considered approach has meant more than I can put into words. What really stands out is how balanced his advice is. He is open-minded, evidence-aware and always careful to ensure that any recommendations sit safely alongside conventional treatment. That level of diligence and professionalism gave us real confidence and peace of mind. During a time filled with uncertainty, Dr Hari has been a calm and trusted presence. We are truly grateful for his guidance and support Thank you dr Hari

St Giles Physiotherapy

St Giles Physiotherapy provided excellent care for my painful wrist, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing physiotherapy in Northampton. From the outset Georgia understood my issue which meant we could maximize the appointment time for hands-on treatment. She used a variety of different techniques during the session, which made the treatment feel thorough and targeted rather than one‑dimensional. I was also given clear follow-up advice and tailored exercises to continue at home, which has really helped my recovery between appointments. Everyone I dealt with at the clinic was caring, friendly and genuinely interested in helping me, which made the whole experience feel very supportive as well as professional.

Newmedica Norwich

Ophthalmology

I went as an NHS referral for cataracts and they explained about the various options for both NHS and private. As I work full time and do a lot of computer work I decided to pay to have Rayone Galaxy toric lenses. I am so pleased with the result. After wearing glasses since early teens I am now glasses free! Mr Injarie and all the staff at the clinic were friendly and professional and made you feel at ease. Mr Injarie took time to explain everything and obviously is a brilliant surgeon. I can't thank them enough. I was so nervous about having eye surgery but from start to finish I felt in very safe hands. I would highly recommend.

Dr Elizabeth Mcculloch

Cosmetic Doctor, General Practitioner

Dr McCulloch and her team are just perfect. They have been providing outstanding care to me for many years now. Dr McCulloch has been following carefully my hormonal health with a holistic approach that pays attention to my overall health, as well as my priorities as an individual. She is extremely professional and prepared, but also caring and understanding of my personal situation as a busy patient with specific views about health and aging (as all patients have). She is really quite exceptional, in my view. Her team has always made it easy for me to book appointments and deal with the practical side of things.

Mr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I had a thoracoplasty surgery with Mr Panagiotopoulos to fix an acquired slipping rib and my experience with him from our consultation to the surgery was amazing. He understood the nature of my issue immediately and took his time explaining the problem and my options thoroughly. During the preparatory period and my hospital stay I felt that I was in the right hands at every step. I struggled with chronic pain for a long time due to the slipping rib, and finding Mr Panagiotopoulos gave me the peace of mind regarding a path to recovery I needed. I highly recommend Mr Panagiotopoulos for this particular issue

Doctor Alicia Ng

Dermatologist

I saw Dr Alicia Ng for an incredibly itchy rash around my eyes and neck that just wouldn't clear up, even after trying over-the-counter creams. She was very thorough during the examination, identifying the issue as allergic contact dermatitis and noticing patches I hadn't even seen behind my ears. She provided a clear management plan, including a Protopic prescription and helpful advice on avoiding fragrances. I’m really relieved to have a proper diagnosis—highly recommend her.

Dr Debi Ray

Paediatrician

As soon as I met Dr Ray I felt my son was in the very best hands. After seeing several local doctors in Norfolk that were unable to help, we travelled to London to see Dr Ray. After seeing my son for a few moments I could see she understood his problem and was our best chance to make him better. Her calm and friendly manner made both my son and myself feel relaxed and that she cared.

From general enquiry to consultation, procedures and aftercare my experience has been absolutely superb. My procedure was a big step for me and I was supported all the way. My friends are very impressed with the results even after one week. This is honestly the first time I have put myself and I am delighted I did. This was not vanity but a step to look the age I feel.

The doctor was 8 mins late *(with no apology for the late running( and them seemed to have a different idea of why i was there to me - he thought he was just assessing skin tags rather than removing - and then said he didnt have time to remove them - yet he was the one running late. I will come for the follow up but after that will never use this practice again.

Miss Chrissie Laban

Breast Surgeon

I saw Chrissie following a lumpectomy and removal of lymph nodes. Which she’d carried out two weeks before. She explained the results, gently removed the dressings and talked through next steps. She also answered the questions I had. I find Chrissie a very easy person to talk to, warm and i feel she’s doing her best for me.

Ms Rebecca Wilson

Rebecca has a fantastic team of breast cancer specialists nurses supporting her I am truly grateful to Rebecca and her team.

Mr Antonino Russo

A wonderful consultant and man, he takes the time to explain the diagnosis and future implications in-depth with a view to moving forward, while at the same time considering and alleviating the patients various concerns. I'm looking forward to my next appointment but I shouldn't be!
