Mr Julian Pavier

Podiatrist

I have had a Morton’s Neuroma for many years, which gradually worsened to the point that it severely impacted my daily life. After seeing a consultant in my hometown of Birmingham, I decided to research other options and came across Mr Julian Pavier, so I made an appointment to see him in Nottingham. Julian Pavier was truly fantastic. During the initial consultation, he identified a second, previously undiagnosed neuroma. Mr Pavier was extremely knowledgeable, and I had complete confidence that he was the right person to carry out the surgery. Following an MRI, it was decided that one large neuroma would be removed through an incision on the bottom of my foot, and a second, smaller neuroma would be decompressed through an incision on the top of my foot. I felt very reassured that this was the right decision. The surgery was carried out under local anaesthetic, and I was able to travel home later the same day. I followed all of Mr Pavier’s advice regarding recovery and rehabilitation. I am now around eight weeks post-op and absolutely over the moon with the outcome. I can walk normally without pain and wear normal footwear for the first time in years. I am gradually building up my walking and have even signed up to run a half marathon in a few months’ time — something that felt completely unattainable for many years. I couldn’t recommend Mr Pavier more highly. His knowledge, expertise, care, and skill when it comes to Morton’s Neuroma are truly second to none. I’m so glad I travelled to Nottingham to have my surgery with him.

Professor Nick Panay

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

When booking the consultation with Nick Panay, the earliest available date was 2 months in advance. I was required to pay the full £395 under pressure at time, being told that the consultation would be lost unless I paid by 5pm. My understanding that this appointment would be for specialist, in-depth input tailored to a complex clinical history. Given that context, I was disappointed that the consultation felt limited to a reiteration of guideline-based recommendations, with little opportunity to explore causation, individual nuance, or the specific questions I had prepared. At several points during the consultation, I felt that my questions were closed down rather than explored, and the overall tone felt more directive than supportive. Given my long and complex medical history, I had hoped for a more compassionate and collaborative approach. Instead, I left the consultation feeling unheard and dismissed, which was distressing. I had hoped for greater depth and collaborative discussion, particularly in light of the significant upfront cost. I was given no additional value beyond what I already knew and was told in any case, that I required a further consultation to finalise a treatment plan. I have been in contact with the practice and explained that the consultation did not meet the reasonable expectations set by the cost, structure, or positioning of this service. I appreciate that since, I have received a considered response from the Practice Manager and the consultation and fee are being reviewed.

Unblocked Thinking

Coaching

I began working with Jo shortly after receiving my autism diagnosis at the age of 45. At the time, I was already an experienced practitioner, but I was navigating a new understanding of myself while continuing to work at a high professional level. Jo’s mentoring was genuinely transformative. Through her insight, strategies, and lived understanding, Jo helped me to recognise who I am, clearly identify my strengths, and understand that I am not deficient. She supported me in developing the confidence and language to advocate for myself, to understand the reasonable adjustments I was entitled to, and, crucially, how to ask for them effectively. The impact of Jo’s work with me went far beyond personal insight. By applying the strategies and approaches she shared, I not only progressed professionally; I was promoted first to a senior role and then to Service Lead. Jo helped me align my authentic self with my professional practice, strengthening both my leadership and my effectiveness. Jo’s mentoring has had a lasting impact on my confidence, my career, and my sense of self. Her support was empowering, affirming, and deeply respectful, and I cannot overstate the value of what she helped me achieve.

We went today for our gender scan. The waiting room was lovely and was nice to have a drink and biscuit whilst waiting. We were early and went in not long after our appointment time. Once in the scan the two ladies were lovely and so friendly. Our baby was being difficult and didn’t want us to see what gender they were. They checked everything else for us and did all the measurements and checks which we were grateful for. The ladies did everything they could to not have our journey wasted. I first was sent for a wee, then a walk and a hot drink. Baby was still sitting cross legged whilst cuddling the cord so told us to go shopping and then come back. Once arriving back the lady told us to sit and wait and she’ll come get us once she could. Wasn’t waiting long and went back in. Finally was able to see our babies gender. The Ladies loved seeing our baby, laughed with us about their movements as they were active and couldn’t reassure us more that our baby was happy and healthy. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We didn’t have the best first experience with NHS but this had made up for it. Will forever recommend this place to friends and family.

Mr Matthew Liew

Urologist

I was referred for Holip surgery by my NHS consultant in Oct 24 as I was self catheterising 4 times daily. In June 25 I was called for a pre-op. Previously I had researched what was involved and sought out private surgery options. By September having heard nothing further from the NHS only that I was still on 'The List' I phoned Spire Manchester. Meeting with Mr Liew a week later I was confident I had made to right decision .Aware I had a huge prostate 240gms that needed surgery I decided there and then to go ahead and received surgery a few weeks later. At age 79 it was the best money I have ever spent. Quickly back on my feet,I was home two days later and soon driving once more. Quite different from the recovery from my Terps prostate op seven years earlier. I found the whole experience very professional and have no hesitancy in recommending Mr Liew at Spire whatsoever if you are in the situation in which I found myself.

Mr Abdul Kasem

Breast Surgeon

I highly recommend Mr Abdul Kasem. From the outset, he acted quickly and thoroughly, ensuring nothing was missed and nothing was too much trouble. He was exceptionally hands-on, making time to see me when schedules were tight and even calling in the evenings to explain next steps, which was hugely reassuring. Every consultation felt calm and unhurried, with clear explanations and a compassionate, relaxed manner that built real confidence. His positivity and encouragement made the situation feel winnable and well managed throughout. The efficiency and coordination of his team were outstanding, and the respect they clearly have for him was evident. My heartfelt thanks to Mr Kasem, who has clearly found his calling in helping people through difficult moments and making them that little bit easier.

Bright Futures Health

Paediatrics

We first saw Dr Burmester when our son was dealing with a prolonged series of illnesses. She was extremely thorough with her diagnostics, explained everything to us very clearly, and guided his recovery in a way that made us feel calm, reassured, and well supported throughout a very stressful time. She was also incredibly generous with her time, answering multiple follow-up questions via email, which was immensely comforting for us as anxious parents. We have been seeing her for over six months now and I would highly recommend her — she is knowledgeable, caring, and someone we trust completely with our child’s care. I would also like to mention Sophie, the clinic manager, who is consistently helpful, professional, and responsive, making the overall experience at the clinic even better.

We were lucky enough to get into the appointment before our allotted time. Mr Mohammad seemed like a very nice person, but I felt very rushed, I wasn’t shown the MRI scan, The situation was not explained to us in depth,just offered options of an injection or surgery involving “metal work” which scared me somewhat. So I chose the injection as seemed a less scary choice to start with. We were told this would be put forward, then we left , all taking about five minutes, not really very reassuring. Hopefully I may get another chance for someone to explain what the operation with the “ metal work” would involve. So I would feel more confident with what needs to be done

We first went 4 years ago with our first son and had 4 scans. We are pregnant again and just had our final scan which would be our 3rd/4th this pregnancy and every time we go the ladies are just a pleasure. So kind, so thorough and just lovely lovely people. We had Lisa today asked she is so nice, patient and a lovely person. There is usually a young girl at reception who is lovely but today there was a different lady who possibly was having a bad day as she was not welcoming not friendly. Possibly didn’t want to be at work and she had the impression she couldn’t be bothered. But it wouldn’t stop me from going as everyone else is always great

Nuffield Health The Manor Hospital Oxford

The Manor Hospital appeared clean, pleasant environment and staff were friendly. There is however one major issue - Car Parking. I nearly missed my appointment despite arriving 35 minutes prior. The car park does not appear adequate for the volume of patients and staff. A vehicle had been parked and blocked the car park, presumably because they thought were going to miss their appointment. This was resolved by creating a one way system which finally allowed me to, by luck, get a space. As an improvement it might be good if when booking, the booker tells the patient of possible alternative car parks in the area that they might have to use?

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

I had an excellent experience under the care of Consultant Divya Mathews. She performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes with outstanding skill and precision. From the first consultation through to post-operative care, she was calm, reassuring, and very clear in her explanations, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. The results have been excellent, and my vision has improved significantly beyond my expectations. I am truly grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional eye care.

Bit offended by dr Basu. Loved the sound of his own voice, kept butting in when I was trying to explain things. Granted I'm overweight but to go straight to pushing weight loss jabs and a gastric sleeve as if I'm not capable of loosing weight and building up my fitness levels on my own (which I've started and as a retired athlete I'm very capable of that commitment) and have to pay for the privilege of his condescending bedside manner. Will go back just to rub his face in it after dropping the weight and then go see another specialist who doesn't see me as a walking paycheck...

Mr Bruno Lorenzi

General Surgeon

I cannot praise Mr Lorenzi enough, he explains everything in layman’s terms and is extremely professional and courteous, he helped me immensely with the timing of the procedure to fit in with my needs, above and beyond in my opinion. Also his secretary Sam Thornton was extremely accessible and helpful. I could not have been in better hands. Also I am extremely grateful for spotting the fact that I was still on Ticagrelor eighteen months after a heart bypass, my doctor removed them from my prescription which in turn stopped me bruising quite easily, so another positive outcome.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

The Deben private GP service was thoughtful and reassuring throughout. Treatment was prescribed promptly in anticipation of a potentially serious issue, with careful and attentive follow-up, and an appropriate referral arranged swiftly. The doctor listened closely, showed genuine empathy, and took time to understand how the symptoms were affecting overall wellbeing. There was no sense of being rushed, and everything was explained clearly and calmly. Overall, Deben delivered a supportive, patient-centred experience - calm, kind, and reassuring from start to finish.

Dr Shanthi Paramothayan

Respiratory Doctor

She was very professional and very knowledgeable, however because of that I was expecting the whole process to be more proactive. She did not have results from the previous process in the NHS hospital (not that I was expecting her to have them, however if I am asked in advance I could have potentially got them). So in the end I paid the insurance provider to be told that nothing could be done privately. Again, the consultation was fine, however I came out from it with the same knowledge (about the situation) I had from the NHS hospital.
