Dr Arif Aslam

Dermatologist

When my BCC diagnosis was confirmed, it was very scary and I wondered how things would progress and what outcome could be achieved. The first stage was to research the options. The main one being to identify the best procedure and the best surgeon. MOHS surgery came out as the best option for success, in terms of reoccurrence and the overall cosmetic appearance. Dr Aslam topped the list to perform this surgery. The initial consultation with Dr Aslam proved I had made the right choice. From the very start I felt confident and reassured. On the day of the surgery I was naturally very nervous. However, Dr Aslam and his excellent team helped considerably to reduce any tension. The whole team, Lisa, Gina and Sheila made conversation throughout the surgery and as such it was possible to have a couple of laughs. Don’t be afraid about being awake. The results? Well I could not be more pleased. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and to say I am pleased is an understatement. I am genuinely thrilled. My second “follow up” appointment was today (3 weeks after surgery) and Dr Aslam is equally thrilled. I can’t finish this review without mentioning Claire, the very efficient and helpful secretary to Dr Aslam. Please be in no doubt that choosing Dr Aslam and his team will, in my opinion be the best choice you can make. Terese

My doctors are always amazing and when ive had a serious procedure they have been excellent. Only minor thing id say is once the doctor hands over to the team of nurses etc it felt as though they werent sure what to do with me. I was sent for bloods then asked to go to the main hospital then told to go to ground floor then someone else was able to sort out my appointments. When I couldve resolved a few things on the day I went, it ended up having to make appointments for everything. I was given a urine sample kit to take with me. I kinda wish my bloods and urine would have all been completed on the day as they have the facility and there was time as I sat on the chair for a few minutes before they apologised and told me id have to go to the main hospital. I think when its one thing to do, its pretty straight forward but when theres a few things to book in I was handed from one nurse to another to anothert and in the end I left having to change my appointments. They are all lovely but feels as though they are missing some direction and considering that the patient may already be a bit anxious about the visit. Otherwise its always a good experience

Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was greeted by an amicable, polite & efficient receptionist on arrival and shown to the waiting room where member of the theatre staff would come for me and explain what would happen next. Kate introduce herself and on knowing I have profound hearing loss made sure that I understood everything. She prepared me well with the required eye drops and made sure I understood the process that would happen in theatre. Having escorted me into theatre she introduced me to Mr Shafiq, the surgeon and the other theatre staff. Mr Shafiq is very approachable and explained clearly what was going to happen. During the procedure he talked me through what he as about to do and what I would see. He was very reassuring throughout the whole procedure which took about 10 mins. He explained clearly about the eye pad, the eye drops etc and Kate made sure that I had understood this before she escorted me to the waiting room. Overall, an excellent team and excellent care; even better than I'd expected because of my profound hearing loss.

Mr Divyang Shukla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been lucky enough to have been treated and operated on before by Mr Shukla,, which was why I asked to be referred to him again. Mr Shukla greeted me smiling and was very friendly. He had taken the time to not only review my scans etc for my current visit, but he had also revisited my notes from my operation back in May 2012, which went very well with no further issues. Mr Shukla had also researched my medications, from my notes regarding my open heart surgery in October 2025. My examination was careful, thorough and sympathetic. The explanation of the outcome from his examination and scans was very good and I understood all that was mentioned, with opportunity to ask equations. I did not feel rushed at all and I left the appointment a very happy man, comfortable and confident in what was said. I would not wish to be seen by another Consultant in relation to my medical issues regarding my shoulder. Thank you Mr Shukla.!

Mr James White

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. White for a clavicle fracture. I actually went into the office not expecting to need surgery at all. Rather than pushing me toward a specific path, he took the time to walk me through my imaging and explain the long-term pros and cons of both surgical and non-surgical options. Because of that level of clarity and care, I felt empowered to decide on surgery, and I’m glad that I did. The outcome has been great, and my recovery has been on track. I also want to mention the PA, who was incredibly responsive and helpful with every follow-up question I had. I felt genuinely well taken care of by the entire team. If you want a surgeon who prioritizes patient education and respects your decision-making process, this is the place to go.

Dr Kalpesh Besherdas

Gastroenterologist

I was referred to Dr Besherdas three months ago. From my first meeting, I knew I was in safe hands. I have had two endoscopies. The team at CCH were so kind and supportive that I felt relaxed at the end of the procedures. I am now on the road to recovery. Having had a history of health issues, I have never felt as comfortable with a consultant as with Dr Besherdas. He is a leading diagnostician in his field. He is kind, listens to his patients and genuinely cares for their welfare. A one-off! Karen, Dr Besherdas’s secretary, is amazing – friendly plus quick and efficient in booking appointments and dealing with queries. For me, finding Dr Besherdas was the best thing that happened for a long time.

Mr Steve Bromage

Urologist

Very professional, well informed, open and friendly. I had a vasectomy 16 years before and wanted a reversal. Mr Bromage was open about the chances of it working after such a length of time but seemed confident. He also did a sperm retrieval procedure at the same time which was put in storage in case the reversal wasn't successful then we could try IVF. On the day of surgery Mr Bromage kept me well informed and made sure my wife was kept up to date regularly. The whole process from admission to discharge went as smoothly as could be. Exactly a year after my reversal procedure my wife gave birth to our healthy baby boy. I would highly recommend Mr Bromage to anyone looking for a vasectomy reversal.

I've been trying to book an initial appointment for last two weeks. I've been emailed times slot for appointment but then we're told that the time slot was taken by another patient. I've called numerous times. But there is no one picking up the phone. Emails are not responded to in timely manner either. I don't know what to think of you're services and what your staff are like because you're team are not there to take calls or email back when we need them. Will you're doctors be the same? Would it be that difficult to get a consultation with them. I'm very disappointed with your reception staff!

Mr Tarek Ghobara

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Ghobara always provides the best care and information. He always takes his time to explain everything that is happening so I get a good understanding. He takes time out of his day to check on me to make sure everything is going okay and I am feeling well when I am going through an IVF cycle.

Dr. Nilesh Pareek

Cardiologist

Dr Pareek is the ultimate professional. He looked after me during a stressful time with challenging symptoms. Dr Pareek was thorough, and had a excellent ability to explain complex problems and tests to someone like myself who was new to this area of medical issues.

Everyone at the Hospital was very friendly and accommodating, and even helped me to get the right prescription at the pharmacy. Despite being busy, they even managed to go out their way to get a nurse for me to answer some questions I had about my surgery

I had a YAG procedure done by Allon Barsom. He and all staff in the clinic are super professional. All steps are explained in detail and I felt very at ease, as a couple of years ago when I had my cataracts done. OCL Vision is highly recommended by me.

After suffering with shoulder pain for months, i saw Liz for help. Best decision ever! Two appointments and one referral later, I’m now completely pain free and able to train again. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Liz and the practice.

I attended the Maypole Clinic for urodynamics. In spite of the undignified nature of the process I felt entirely at ease, suffered no pain or discomfort and the entire process was handled with care and kindness.
