Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Shalini has been an incredible doctor throughout the last trimester of our pregnancy and birth. She is compassionate, highly knowledgeable, took time getting to know us and our preferences and helped us navigate a variety of different health circumstances. We started seeing her from 28 weeks, and she immediately fast tracked my gestational diabetes diagnosis. Because our baby was breech at the time we also discussed the possibility and upsides/risks of a potential C-section. When baby turned, we decided to have an induction instead to make sure I could deliver her vaginally despite the gestational diabetes which I preferred. The induction went smoothly and Shalini professionally orchestrated the procedure and was supported by the competent midwives of the Fitzrovia. When I felt unwell a few days after being discharged, Shalini was available immediately and helped us get seen quickly to reach a diagnosis. We highly recommend Shalini to anyone who is looking for a personalised birth experience - for us it took away the stress because we knew we had someone looking out for us that we trust! We will always be grateful that she helped deliver our baby girl. Thanks again!

I had my first consultant appointment yesterday, regarding a hernia condition that was flagged by an NHS consultant earlier this year. I saw Dr Richard Novell. In the lead-up to the appointment, I had managed to get the referral paperwork, but no scan imagery. On meeting Dr Novell, he informed me that scans were useless anyway for Hernia diagnosis, and he then proceeded to examine me. After this, he told me that I didn’t have a hernia, when I asked about the fact that another specialist had examined me and thought differently, he agreed that doctors tend to give different answers. My issue, is not that he dosen’t agree with another consultants opinion (as well as the person who conducted Ultrasound) but that I am currently in pain, which is harming the quality of my life, and when asked about next steps to resolve this, he had nothing to offer, when pushed he offered to speak to a colleage for a second opinion. So in terms of empathy, it's pretty frustrating, and I have to be honest, it's a complete waste of time from my perspective.

Mr Richard Scawn

Ophthalmologist

I can’t recommend Mr. Richard Scawn highly enough. Before meeting him, I had seen three other surgeons and even booked the operation twice but ended up cancelling because I didn’t feel fully confident. From my very first appointment with Richard, everything felt different. He was calm, kind, and incredibly reassuring — never pushy, never rushed — and both my husband and I instantly felt we were in safe hands. I trusted him completely, and I’m so glad I did. I’m now three weeks post–lower lid blepharoplasty and absolutely over the moon with the results. My bruising was minimal and disappeared quickly, and the scar line is genuinely impeccable. I’m 39, so my skin is still fairly young, but even with a magnifying mirror I cannot see the incision. The work Richard has done is truly amazing. If you’re considering this surgery, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Richard Scawn. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or the outcome.

Dr Grisham Smotra

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently visited following a referral from a different department. I have been trying to find the cause to pain I have been suffering from since jan 2024. Today I had the answers. I can’t tell you how happy I am that it’s nothing serious. Dr G Smotra performed 2 ultrasound scans on me and was so friendly and kind during this that I was instantly put at ease. There were 2 other nurses in the room who were so lovely and asked if I was ok and kept ensuring me that I was doing well. Afterwards DR G Smotra sat down with me and explained all the findings from the scan plus a previous ct scan, she really had time for me which I don’t usually feel within other departments. I do need to return in the future and I hope that I am always under her care. Thank you I am so greatful.

I truly cannot thank Jessica Zaayman (Pure Raynes Park) and Aisling Freir (Pure Kensington) enough. After having my twins full term three years ago, I spent a long time “getting by” and assuming that certain symptoms were simply my new normal. Jessica and Aisling worked together seamlessly. They listened, supported me, and developed a clear, structured plan tailored to my needs. Within just a few months, the improvements have been significant. Their professionalism and the quality of care I received have been exceptional. I am genuinely grateful for the difference their work has made to my day-to-day life and wellbeing. I highly recommend both Jessica and Aisling.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

As per usual every part of my visit is very professional and all the communication is prompt and informative, it is good to receive a copy of the progress. My last visit was on Saturday 6th December and it was a review of the laser treatment on my left eye - I was delighted when the review confirmed that the pressure on my eye had fallen to normal - this was a 50% reduction. I only had to put one eye drop at night. This was very professional and I have a six monthly review in my diary for 2026. I would have no problems at all in recommending Cathedral Eye Clinic.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This was known to be a tick box appointment to confirm all was OK and it provided no surprises. The staff were all helpful and friendly and everything ran to right time. Mr Malek gave a very relaxed and positive explanation on his findings with the x-ray. He totally put my mind at rest and easily reassured me over the minor concerns I raised. I was left feeling very positive about the future after my operation and felt confident that a continuation with the rehab would get me to where I want to be physically.

Mr Sam Dutta

General Surgeon

Dr. Dutta, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The quality of the surgery and the overall care were excellent. Dr. Dutta not only made me feel confident and well-informed, but his great sense of humour also helped ease any nerves I had before the procedure. The recovery has been smooth, and I truly appreciate the professionalism and warmth he brings to his work. If I ever need another operation in the future, I will definitely be requesting Dr. Dutta again. Highly recommended!

Dr Niall Keenan

Cardiologist

I have unfortunately had to consult far too many medical professionals over recent years and Dr Keenan stands out from the crowd. His warm “bed side manner” / exemplary patient communication skills and genuine caring attitude are second to none. His advice with a holistic perspective has helped give me piece of mind. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone who needs a cardiologist.

Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo

General Surgeon

Excellent service, very understanding staff. Surgeon Mr. Veeramootoo is truly a professional in every aspect. He treated me with respect and was very friendly. I was very worried about my open mesh hernia surgery, he treated me like family. I would recommend him to anyone looking into going for surgery. A true professional very warm and a gentleman. Thank you Mr Veeramotoo, bless you 🙏

Spire Nottingham Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 23 more

I arrived before my appointment time, bought some food and a coffee from the café, and settled down with my laptop to do a little work. The waiting areas were calm, clean, and very relaxing, and I had no difficulty finding a seat. My wait to see the consultant ran just a few minutes over my scheduled time, simply because the patient before me had slightly overrun.

Dr Donald Hodge

Paediatrician

Dr Hodge was warm, friendly and approachable from the outset and was very visibly caring towards our daughter. He was undeniably an expert in his field and listened attentively before making judgement, then followed up with appropriate information, tests and a plan. Genuinely couldn't recommend him enough - one of the best medical experiences we have ever had.

The overall experience at St Antonys hospital has been pleasant despite the uncertainty of what I may have been suffering from. The efficiency and genuine care from the staff is to be commended. I felt very reassured with the thoroughness of Ms Haque’s course of treatments and tests and she genuinely seemed to care about me.
