Spire Elland Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 2 more

Overall, Spire Elland was great and I would happily return should I require any further procedures in the future. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and everything is very clean. I think the main thing letting the hospital down is patient communication. All appointments and comms are recorded and delivered via an app. If you don't want to or aren't able to download the app (like me), you do end up being left a little in the dark about things. For example, I had been given a surgery date fairly soon after my initial consultation, which was great, however I hadn't been informed that there would be multiple pre-operative assessment appointments to attend - all of which were on-site at Spire Elland, which is around an hour's drive for us. On one occasion, I had to make last-minute arrangements to move clients around as I'd been unaware of an upcoming appointment - I'd received no email, no text, no phone call, no letter. I just so happened to log in to my online portal and find the appointment date there. I moved clients around so I could attend, and just a couple of days before my appointment received a text message to say the date had changed, with no explanation provided. I called to try and find out why this might be, but was met with a dismissive reply of, "We just had to move it". All of the documents outlining the process for my surgery and the prep I should do beforehand were provided online, and the online portal isn't the simplest to navigate, so accessing them wasn't as easy as it could have been. When I was admitted for my day surgery, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, although I did find that I received a blunt reply whenever I asked a question about anything. This was my first ever surgery and my first time being put under general anaesthetic, so naturally I was quite nervous. Some of the members of staff were very helpful and supportive, but others seemed to have little patience, which wasn't ideal and only served to make me more anxious. When I came to after the surgery, I had been expecting to have a bit of a handover with someone so I could at least find out how it had gone and what they had/hadn't found. Unfortunately, Mr Gan was occupied in another surgery, and so I was discharged before having the chance to speak to him. I asked the nurses for some clarification - any brief notes or insights they might be able to give to put my mind at ease a bit until I could speak with Mr Gan - but this was met with quite curt replies. I was told no one could read Mr Gan's handwriting so no one could tell me any information, which at the time was quite frustrating as I'd been dealing with the pain for so long and had viewed the laparoscopy as the light at the end of the tunnel. It was disheartening to leave the hospital without any real clarification of the issue. Now having had my final follow-up with Mr Gan, I can say with confidence that all of my questions have been answered, and I feel validated and supported as a patient. However, I can't help but feel that had the communication from the hospital team been a little better throughout the process, it wouldn't have been so frustrating to wake up after the surgery and find that no one could tell me how it had gone.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

All seemed to be going well and at the close of my appointment the consultant asked me to have a blood test done outwith the Cathedral Also he advised that I should make an appointment for the operating procedure downstairs at reception. Circa end of April When I went to the desk I was advised that the member of staff was off that pm and I would receive a call tomorrow Next day I contacted my surgery about the blood sample and test. Late on my surgery called back to advise they were not willing to arrange the test as they were not treating me I received no call from Cathedrai that day The next day I waited to on and called Cathedral Spoke to Clare a few times and essence of conversation was that all was on hold as consultant on holiday and not available till 17th February Also no progress can be made with blood sample and rest even although I asked them to read my consultation notes !!! So I could comment more however this is the essence of a mot disappointing situation after my consultation

Dr. Hariharan Kuhan

Dr Hari has been an incredible support 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

Tayside Complete Health

Cardiology, Clinical Psychology, + 18 more

This is truly a very pleasant clinic. All staff put you at ease and treat you very well. I had an upper endoscopy performed by Dr Craig Mowat. He is a really patient, polite and conscientious professional man who listened to my concerns and talked me through them. He was very thorough and suggested how I could relive my symptoms mean time until my procedure, which was only a few weeks later. He explained exactly what would happen. The experience was very calm and I was put at ease. Dr Mowat told me of his findings immediately after the procedure and called me to discuss biopsy results a couple of weeks later. The whole experience was calm and quickly put my fears to rest. Thank you very much for lifting a huge weight off my mind - I can now get back to enjoying life!

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I can’t recommend Dr Emily Cary highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through the early stages of perimenopause. From our very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, understood, and reassured during what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Her knowledge, calm approach, and clear explanations helped me make sense of my symptoms and feel confident about the next steps. She took the time to tailor my care to me as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Thanks to her support and guidance, I feel far more informed, supported, and positive about managing this transition. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any woman at the start of their menopause journey.

Mr Mfazo Hove

Ophthalmologist

I had an absolutely amazing experience with Mr Hove at Blue Fin Vision. From start to finish, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism and care. Really happy my naevus is gone. I got my confidence back instantly 🙌 The clinic itself is spotless, modern, and very calming, which immediately put me at ease. Mr Hove was incredibly kind, reassuring, and thorough, he explained everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I genuinely felt listened to and cared for, and the whole experience exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment and the overall service. I would highly recommend Mr Hove and Blue Fin Vision to anyone considering treatment truly outstanding care.

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

I have been with the practice for a number of years and have mostly been pleased with the experience. The only thing I have a problem with is that the staff of all kinds do not speak loudly enough. There is always a lot of noise from machines etc. and soft voices, and sometimes accents, make it difficult to understand., especially when it has a medical content. Also nobody seems to understand that they should make sure the patient is comfortable, as the chairs vary in design and all do not adjust when required. Otherwise I am pleased to have found the practice many years ago and have gone through a good few different staff members in that time, so the experience has been interesting, despite the stairs! I am lucky to have good teeth.

The London Dermatology Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I felt very confident in Dr Chopra, which was reassuring, and having Stephanie observe the consultation was also positive for her professional development. The advice I received aligned with my own independent analysis using AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, which further reinforced my confidence in both the diagnosis and the prescribed treatment plan. Dr Chopra also addressed additional concerns beyond the initial reason for my visit, offering a broader treatment approach, which I appreciated. While I understand that diagnosing multiple issues within a half-hour appointment is challenging, the consultation was helpful and provided the reassurance and confidence boost I was looking for.

Professor James East

Gastroenterologist

The hospital staff were efficient and courteous; the waiting room was spacious and comfortable; the toilets were perfectly satisfactory. Professor East's consulting room was clean and satisfactorily appointed. Professor East listened carefully to my account and took extensive notes. After inspecting me briefly, he was clear in his explanation of options, the potential difficulties and risks with each course of action. He answered my questions clearly and concisely. Wisely he did not overpromise. With his very extensive experience and highly skilful expertise, he created a sense of confidence about the future. I am extremely grateful to him and now face the future optimistically.

Dr Anthony Lerman

Gastroenterologist

Throughout the whole process of diagnosis, which involved an endoscopy, colonoscopy and CT colongraphy, Dr Lerman was exceptionally clear about what was involved, what was discovered and what that meant; ie, how I should understand, interpret and act upon the diagnosis and findings. He explains things thoroughly and clearly, with charm and good humour. He was attentive, and sensitive in ensuring that I received information in as clear and reassuring a manner as possible. I'd unreservedly recommend him. And his team deserve a shout out - they are lightening fast in responding and sorting things out.

Andrology Solutions

Clinical Science, Diagnostics & Testing, + 2 more

I had a very positive experience during my consultation with Professor Sheryl Homa. She was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring in her approach. I felt completely at ease throughout the appointment and never felt rushed. All of my questions were answered clearly and in detail, which gave me great confidence and reassurance. The clinic was professional and well organised, and the overall standard of care was excellent. I would highly recommend Professor Homa and the clinic to anyone seeking expert and compassionate medical advice.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Audiology, Cardiology, + 11 more

Though I prepared in advance for what expect in relation to parking and expected to pay on the way out, an usher directed me to another car park where there were options of paying on an app or using cash. I had time on my side luckily. Directions were almost right but I would have been better prepared if I had known the entrance sits at the back of the main A&E entrance. The staff were friendly and the environment was clean and calm. The doctor was incredible, attentive, patient, precise, clear and efficient. The experience was good.

Ms Anastasia Rachmanidou

ENT Surgeon

I've had a really positive experience throughout with Dr Rachmanidou. She's extremely kind and caring and her explanation of the procedure and aftercare was very thorough. Dr Rachmanidou explained any possibly complications and made it very clear to me what I should look our for, and what action should be taken. I feel I've been in extremely good hands with Dr Rachmanidou and would recommend her to anyone seeking treatment. My full experience could not have been better.

Dr Kajal Patel

Dentist

I went to Dr. Glow because a friend told me about her, and when I saw the results, I was amazed. Today I had my treatment, and Dr. Glow not only knows exactly what she’s doing, but also makes you feel comfortable, explaining everything step by step — and the results are immediate! I’m definitely coming back 100%, I absolutely loved her and the whole experience. A great professional!thank you so much🙌🙏

Dr Donald Hodge

Paediatrician

I took my daughter to see Dr Hodge at his clinic in Edinburgh, he was thorough and explained everything in great detail. I left feeling satisfied with his explanation and reassured my daughter’s condition will be cured with treatment and time. I was given great information to help deal with her issue at home. I can’t reccommend Dr Hodge enough!

Miss Shahrnaz Izadi

Ophthalmologist

Miss Izadi was friendly, professional and unhurried. She took time to explain the complexities of my eye problems and the treatment options and was happy to answer my questions in detail. As a layman, I was very grateful for the trouble she took to set me at my ease, to help me understand the issues and to discuss the way forward.
