HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

Made typos on my medical documents several times regardless of me flagging they require updates Can’t schedule simple appointment times and check with people if they are available instead sending random meeting times which clash with my work On 3 occasions now I have tried to join a meeting to have no one there Even if I am having problems connecting and 2 mins late someone should be in the allocated slot waiting especially given the people you are meeting with are disabled All this titration has done is add extra stress to my life instead of helping anything I am now going through medication withdrawals because I have been unable to meet in my titration meetings regales of me flagging several times that these timings do not work with my work commitments and now I have extra stress and pressure on my life at an extremely stressful time Would not recommend this to anyone it’s taken me a whole year since my diagnosis to even get to this point and I am still being messed around

TCM Healthcare Fertility Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

We decided to visit them after reading their positive reviews and wanted to give it a try. After reviewing my test results, they recommended a three-month course of treatment. The instructions and cooking process were clear and easy to follow. After completing the three months of treatment, I went for another test and was delighted to learn that my FSH levels had gone down, which felt unbelievable and made us extremely happy. That said, I would have liked to learn more about my TCM diagnosis and what it meant, as this was not really explained to me. This was a bit disappointing, as I was genuinely interested—especially considering the cost of the consultations. Communication and transparency could have been better in this regard. However, Professor Au did call us to reassure us whenever he felt it was needed, which we appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone who is struggling with fertility and looking for support.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I went privately for a hip replacement. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I was met in reception by a lovely man who took my bag for me an led me to my room. I was admitted by staff who each came to introduce themselves and explain what they would be doing. The room was lovely with a view onto the woodland just outside where a herd of small deer ran past one morning. The food was excellent and the staff were plentiful and friendly. If I had not been there for surgery, I would still have been happy to stay in that room! The surgery was fine and the aftercare was very efficiently handled by all concerned. When I did need to press my buzzer for attention, someone responded promptly and fetched the relevant staff members to help me. I felt safe and well cared for. It was the first time I have had surgery and I was apprehensive but the staff were all calm and reassuring.

Dr David Hunter

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a hysterectomy with Dr David Hunter in mid-November through the Cross Border Directive after spending years stuck on HSE waiting lists. For so many years I was back and forth to my GP with symptoms from a large fibroid that was genuinely ruining my life. At 41, I was struggling to even walk up the stairs without feeling completely out of breath and exhausted. Dr Hunter was the first doctor I felt truly listened to me and offered real solutions. From the very first consultation right through to post-op care, he was incredibly kind, reassuring and professional. He's a gem of a man. I’m now two months post-op and I honestly feel amazing, like I’ve got my life back. I can’t recommend Dr Hunter highly enough, especially if you’re suffering with fibroids. He has made such a huge difference to my quality of life and I'm so hugely grateful.

Weymouth Street Hospital

Breast Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 12 more

I am so thrilled with my experience at Weymouth Street Hospital, London, after having had cataracts removed in both of my eyes, by Mr Hove of Blue Fin Vision. I can see clearly now, both distance and close up, reading, computer etc, etc.. ; no need for any glasses. Mr Hove is truly amazing - so caring, kind and professional. He explained everything to me in my assessment on Monday 8th December, in Chelmsford and actually had the operation in such a short time - Thursday 11th December! I am a new person now ! Doctor Carlos, the anesthetist, was also so kind and caring. I felt thoroughly at ease for my operation. Many, many thanks to everybody, including the kind nurse. My husband and I were both given a delicious meal afterwards, which was really appreciated - so welcome. Thank you very, very much for everything, everybody

The Royal Free London Private Patients Unit

Breast Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 18 more

Needed a routine hernia operation, didn't want to wait 4–6 months, chose Royal Free Private Patients based on surgeon's online profile and because profits go to NHS; also I have been an NHS patient at RF. Was seen quickly for initial consultation and got surgery appointment when I wanted it. Mr Iype did a tidy job of the surgery, I am now recuperating with no complications so far and very little pain. Anaesthetists were friendly and efficient, and Severo my nurse in my ward was helpful, reassuring and friendly. I had a ward room to myself, which my wife could stay in while I had the surgery. It was clean and roomy, though a little cold – take extra blankets. The lunch I was given after surgery was pretty good, and they were able to get a sandwich for my wife too as well as teas and coffees. All in all, went very well.

New Victoria Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), Pain Management, + 26 more

My surgery took place there and had to stay overnight due to vertigo and dizziness. The hospital was friendly, new and pristine. The nursing staff outstanding as well as of course the medical team. I had dinner and breakfast and it was also healthy and delicious. Yesterday I returned to have the dressing removed and it was equally good. If any criticism would be to the pharmacy with a 30minute wait to get my prescription and also despite being a Bupa hospital not having the availity to charge Bupa for medication- I am under Bupa Global and in other Bupa hospitals this is the case.

Dr Sarah Wright

General Practitioner

I first saw Dr Wright for a coil fitting 4 years ago, the building a facilities we're lovely and Sarah put me at ease straight away. She talked me through the whole process and was amazing during the procedure. 4 years later, my partner and I are considering trying for a baby, so I went back to Dr Wright for the removal. Her patient care is so refreshingly calm and personable; she's very good at what she does, having the perfect balance of care and speed. She's made what can be an uncomfortable/painful procedure, one that has been a positive experience for me.

Dr Zach Vogiatzis

Psychologist

I went to Dr Zach because my anxiety was getting worse and I didn’t really know how to get on top of it. From the start he was easy to talk to and I felt like he actually understood what I was struggling with. The sessions helped me make sense of what was going on, and I’ve genuinely noticed a difference in how I deal with stress and anxiety day to day. Things don’t spiral the way they used to, and I feel more steady and in control. I’m really grateful for the support and I’d recommend Dr Zach to anyone who’s struggling with anxiety.

Mr Alan Osborne

General Surgeon

Mr Alan Osborne was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and kind. He spoke comprehensively about my area of concern and took the time to ease my concerns and provide a detailed explanation with compassion and empathy. He also provided clear next steps, and again spoke with compassion and kindness about what that will entail. I am very grateful to Mr Alan Osborne for his expert assessment, kindness and compassion - thank you very much.

Mr Wenzhuang Chin

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Wenzhuang was very professional. He explained all the procedure to me. He informed me during the different stages of the procedure what is happening. Gave advice and prescribed some medicine after. The nurses assisting doctor were very kind and behaved in a professional manner. They made sure I feel fine and reassured me during the procedure. I am very grateful for the care I was given today.

Miss Kavita Verma

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have had an initial HRT consultation and two follow ups. Dr Verma was extremely supportive, suggesting HRT medications which have been very helpful. Her letters to my GP have been clear and concise, and my GP has been happy to continue with the recommended prescription. I felt she had my holistic wellbeing at the front of her thinking and have no hesitation in recommending her.

Ms Katharine Hurt

Respiratory Doctor

I was mistaken impressed by Ms katharine Hurt A true professional- will stop at nothing to make sure she will get you on the road to recovery. Also what impressed me was her mantra - ‘We will make sure we get you well again’ Knowing what to say to a patient is most important- it’s the placebo effect- and gave me confidence- Thank you Ms Katharine Hurt Simone R.

Miss Aditi Miskin

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

She provides a genuine patient care, which helps build trust. I would highly recommend Aditi Miskin to any of my friends and family for any gynaecology queries.
