Mr John Ferris

Ophthalmologist

Having suffered from very poor long vision I had laser surgery in both eyes about 18 years ago which for the first 7 or 8 years was exceptional and I achieved better than 20:20 vision. However, the myopia came back and while no where near as bad, it was annoying having to wear glasses or contact lenses again. Over the last couple of years I found that my near vision which was exceptional, became blurred when wearing contacts or glasses and I was on the brink of having to have various different pairs of glasses to cope with the changes. It was at this point that I started to investigate intraocular lens replacement. I researched this on and off for probably a year before I had a really good conversation with my optician and she gave me a recommendation of John. The recommendation was the missing piece for me and having read his reviews and the excellent information on his website, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue further. The initial chat with John was very informative and he kindly replied to my many questions giving full and clear answers. He was also very clear and honest from the onset of what the possible complications could be. For me this was the fact that my eyes were still myopic in shape and that I had previously had laser surgery. These areas were discussed further in our face to face meeting and having carring out a full examination, I booked surgery straight away. The wait for surgery was nerve racking and exciting in equal measures and I had chosen to get both eyes done at the same time. I also chose the Galaxy lenses as my goal was to be free of glasses and contact lenses. The procedure was carried out at Tetbury hospital which is a wonderful cottage hospital which has a very warm and welcome feeling. Alll the nurses and team there were incredibly supportive as was John who came over to say hello and administer the anesthetic drops about 30 mins before surgery. The surgery took about 45mins to an hour which included a short break inbetween eyes for all equipment to be changed. Initially you see a very bright light and feel some pressure, I had a mild bit of discomfort on one eye as we were coming to the end of the procedure but noting unpleasant. After having the first eye done, I was sat up and to be honest you see very little other than light, shadows and it looks like you have lots of water in your eye, that is the only way I can describe it. For a short time my vision was also tinted slightly orange which cleared quickly. By the time the other eye had been done, plastic goggles stuck to your face to protect the eyes, the first eye operated on was much clearer. There was no pain. The following morning it was a very bright and sunny day and there was some minor pain everytime my eyes had to adjust to light. I spent the next couple of days indoors, sometimes wearing some sun glasses which really helped. John's call at the end of the first day confirmed that everything was fine and apart from some gritty/itchy feeling, all the symptoms quickly subsided. Lots of drops supplied along with a handy reminder sheet really helped. At the four week checkin John informed me that the results were excellent and I have better than 20:20 vision for both close, medium and long distance. Some days things can be a bit blurry but this is apparently as the brain gets used to the lenses and this process can take up to 9 months. However, the results were amazing and I can't believe that this is my eyesight for the rest of my life. Lots of people have asked me what it was like, did I have my eye balls injected? Can I feel the lenses in my eyes? Did I see the knife as it cut my eye open? I can confirm that the process was a lot less terrifying than the nature of those questions and not as dramatic! I would recommend this procedure and especially John as a surgeon in a heart beat. It is life changing and brilliant to have John and his excellent team there to support and guide you through the process. I also have to recommend the fabulous service you also receive from his PA Carole-Anne, you are very well looked after.

Mr Chakri Munipalle

General Surgeon

My experience with Mr Munipalle was excellent, as was my experience with the ward staff and the resus staff. Sadly though my experience with the anesthatist. The tall man with the tattoos was as lovely as the others but the shorter man made me feel like I didn’t matter. He was putting in the cannular, which he tried multiple times in my left hand without even a word spoken. That could be forgiven but when the cannular was sited in my right arm he administered the medication to put me under, without any warning and before the mask was put on my face. This was a really unpleasant experience that felt like my body was collapsing in on itself and of course I panicked, which made one of them to put the mask on me. This doctor operated In a completely different way to all other staff involved in my care. I feel strongly that this is communicated to Mr Munipalle as this man lets the rest of the team down. Linda H. operation date 6 November 2025.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

The appointment and staff were great but please please please sort out the signage to your section of the hospital. I arrived at the QEQM an hour before my appointment as I knew parking at that time would be a nightmare. I was still trying to park 15 minutes before my appointment. I had to leave my car in a side road and hope it was a restricted area. I had to run from me side of the hospital to the other and no where on any map or sign was there anything saying where the Spencer hospital was. I eventually found the main reception who had to give me directions. I found the part I needed by pure chance. I arrived 4 minutes after my appointment time. This is the 3rd Spencer hospital I have visited within 5 weeks. It was the same story at K and C with no signs. WHH was the only one that had signage where I could find where I needed to go easily but again not listed on the main hospital maps.

Mr Amr Hawary

Urologist

The recent visit was very informative. Mr Hawary explains the results concisely and at a level a none medical person understands. All the meetings have been informal, even noticing when one of us had a worried look. He explained the diagnosis, showing us the results and explaining what they ment alleviating any concerns. He also explained what I should be doing next, ie pelvic floor exercises and sent a link to the document that explains how to do them; which is very useful. I am extremely happy with all the consultations we have had with Mr Hawary.

Dr Maja Uherek

Oncologist

It really was an excellent consultation, Dr Uherek had allowed plenty of time to explain to my wife and I every aspect of my forthcoming treatments, and answer all of our questions, she provided further guidance on diet and exercise, including special deals on gym membership through McMillans. The doctor also went of other aspects of my health and provided useful guidance. I can’t remember the last time I felt that totally satisfied after a hospital consultation.

Dr. Giridhar Tarigopula

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I have seen two different endocrinologists regarding my pituitary tumour, and the difference in care with Dr. Tarigopula was remarkable. He was welcoming and patient, taking the time to truly listen to my concerns without talking over me. The session never felt rushed, and his calm, friendly, and professional manner immediately put me at ease. I left feeling heard, respected, and confident in the care I received. I would highly recommend this doctor.

The London Clinic

Physiotherapy, Dermatology, + 13 more

The London Clinic offers such a comfortable and clean environment, clinical in all the right ways, but still homely and warm. It feels far less “hospital-like” than most medical settings, which really helped me relax. The staff were all friendly, welcoming, and genuinely approachable from the moment I walked in. And the unlimited coffee on tap was a lovely touch! Overall, a calm, high quality clinic experience that made a big difference to my visit.

Dr. Mary Salazar-Salvia

General Practitioner, Primary Care Doctor

Dr Mary Salvia is the best doctor I have ever seen. She spends time listening and really understands and addresses all concerns. She has helped my whole family and we all think she’s amazing. Her knowledge and reassurance has been appreciated by us so much. She works through every issue effortlessly. We appreciate her so much. I have recommended her to many friends who all feel the same about her. Thank you Dr Salvia.

I made contact with me Khan’s office after a bad experience. I was reassured by his CV on your website. My experience is as follows: Mr Khan’s considerable expert clinical knowledge, experience and skill combined with his quiet calm and supportive manner has made me feel safe and reassured to continue with his care management plan to maintain my good health. I made a good decision to attend 25 Harley Street.

Mr Asef Al-Ani

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Al-Ani was welcoming and empathetic. I have been unfortunate with health of spine but extremely fortunate having him as my spinal consultant. This was my third meeting with Asef over a period of 3 years and each time he makes you feel valued as a Perón and is completely efficient organising investigations and taking the results forward to treatment if necessary. He is marvellous 🤩

Was overnight stay at Ninewells Hospital in Dundee, all staff were very polite and courteous to myself and the other 5 people within the ward during my stay. The team were very attentive to each individuals needs, which made for a pleasant stay. Facilities were clean and if any ‘accidents’ occurred then these were addressed immediately to promote cleanliness in the ward

O'Brien's Opticians

Optometry

Staff are extremely professional and helpful, taking a great of trouble to minimise the amount of time glasses are away having the new lenses fitted - extremely important for a student needing to use a computer for lengthy periods for study. The entire practice is extremely patient-focused and radiates competence.

Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital

Been to the Nuffield a number of times and apart from the guy in the parking booth believing he is god, the experience has always been very good. The nurses, porters and the people who are there when you come around from your anaesthetic are absolutely brilliant, the care is fantastic.
