As I am not a well person and a wheelchair user, the wait was longer due to my health and help to get out. The staff were very understanding around this. I found though, beyond reception the phone system was not the easiest due to the very short length of time given to leave your message, which for people who are disabled, so not the fastest just basic messages of name, number, DOB plus short message, it frequently cut off before you had finished. Beyond that, it was a pleasant experience as it was the least painful steroid injection I'd had to date and I did let the consultant know that. The staff were helpful and accommodating as a wheelchair user plus self employed PA we know we take up space, so not the easiest inside a small room. Thankfully I can still transfer which helps so I can fold the wheelchair up once on to the couch. The staff were very helpful around my safety doing so which is always really appreciated. Please thank them for me.

Dr James Rakshi

Neurologist

After suffering a neurological event which was initially feared to be a potential stroke and being released prematurely by an NHS hospital, we managed to book an appointment with Dr. Rakshi the next morning. Dr. Rakshi immediately started asking all the right questions in a personable and calm but highly efficient, sharp way. He provided very clear explanations and observations around my symptoms and the potential causes, and immediately referred us for a same-day MRI and some additional tests. Followed up within less than a week with a follow up appointment which he helped me book personally by slotting me in between other appointments even though the hospital stated his calendar was full. Overall he was fantastic at helping us understand the situation, putting our mind at ease, and understanding next steps. I highly recommend him.

VIP Hearing Solutions London

Audiology

Very pleasing experience. I was given plenty of time, and had a thorough examination of my ears, with the removal of wax, followed by a full hearing test. I returned a couple of weeks later, and having been shown several different hearing aids, went for ones that fit into the ear, with no wires or pieces behind the ear. I now have them on a months trial to see how I get on with them. I was quoted a price, which I understand I will pay if these are the correct ones for me, but only when I am totally satisfied. There is then a 3 monthly check included in the price. I believe I can try others if these are not right for me, and Mr Clive who I saw, was most helpful and understanding of a lady who hated the idea of wearing hearing aids!

Mr Ravi Popat

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had severe pain from Osteoarthritis which the NHS were throwing as much delay at as possible. I had a busy year planned with commitments abroad and it was impossible to to arrange a treatment plan. I consulted Ravi via a Spire hospital. He was able to format a plan, including pain relieving injections so that the replacement operation fitted in with the end of my travel arrangements. He explained everything clearly throughout the process ad then, with fantastic skill, carried out the operation. I only needed one night in the hospital and 17 days after was signed off by the physio as not requiring further attention. I walk with no limp at all and can climb stairs normally. Overall a great team led by a superb caring surgeon.

Dr Arani Sridhar

Paediatrician

Dr Sridhar is an amazing, exceptional doctor. He’s very kind and caring to my son. He takes his time to explain things to us, especially to my wife who struggled with English. We don’t feel rushed in appointments and have always put us at ease, especially with all the medication my son has had to take and the surgeries he’s had as a child. His expertise and kindness has made all the difficult times easy for us. During Covid he always made time for us by telephone, when everything was on lock down, which was amazing as our son was immune suppressed and we were worried for him. Dr Sridhar is an outstanding doctor and We are truly grateful, he’s our doctor.

Mr Kalpesh Vaghela

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I met Mr Vaghela back in April this year, following a GP referral and confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome at my left hand. He was really thorough in examining my hand and explaining my symptoms and what was causing them. Once it was established that surgery would be the best option for my problem, he spent time in explaining what the procedure would entail, the recovery time, any positive outcome as well as any potential negative effects. The operation went very well and my hand has been improving since. I truly appreciate the care he has shown before, during and after the operation, and how approachable, thoughtful and supportive he is.

Mr Richard Barksfield

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I almost don’t know where to start. From my first meeting, I was filled with confidence, and felt at ease. This was my second total knee replacement, the first one (with a different consultant) had been quite difficult due to no one’s fault. My second knee with Mr Barksfield could not have been mare different. I am now 8 weeks post op and have virtually no pain, can walk normally and feel like I did 6-8 years ago. Stairs are a breeze, I can walk normally up and down slopes and intend to play golf this weekend. I could not be more delighted with the outcome. A massive thank you to Mr Barksfield and his team.

Dr Farooq Maniyar

Neurologist

I highly recommend Dr. Farooq Maniyar, who is a super expert consultant neurologist. I received great treatment, including a successful Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) block, in the period leading up to my pregnancy. Now that I am pregnant, Dr. Maniyar has expertly tailored my ongoing treatment to ensure its safety and effectiveness. His approach is brilliant, working in perfect, complementary coordination with my NHS Obstetrician. It is deeply reassuring to have such an expert managing my condition during this critical time.

Gastroenterology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 9 more

My overall experience was excellent, from the reception staff, being taken to the room, the 1:1 pre-operative discussions with Dr Lowe and Dr Barnard, to the nursing staff (continuity of the nursing staff and Daisy's approach and empathy), the theatre team and the post procedure care. I mentioned to Dr Lowe how impressed I was with the communication between the theatre team, which provided a great deal of confidence. I should also mention how well they communicated with me on a 1:1 basis explaining what they were doing.

Mr Narayana Prasad

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have had excellent care from Mr Prasad and all the clinical and admin staff at Tameside Hospital from when I visited A & E to having surgery and then subsequent follow up appointments. I cannot fault Mr Prasad for his proffesionalism and caring manner, and his brilliant skills which has resulted in a successful outcome to my operation which was in my opinion, quite tricky. I have been well informed throughout my treatment and had every confidence in my surgeon.

Southside Medical Private Clinic

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Audiovestibular Medicine, + 7 more

I was able to book an appointment in the morning for later on the same date. I was very impressed with the clinic and Dr Oates. He took time to listen to me before giving his diagnosis and then outlining my treatment options going ahead. I was very pleased with how things went and would definitely recommend Southside Medical to others.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

The staff were lovely both on the ward and in theatre. There was a wait of almost an hour for a bed when I arrived at the appointed time. The room had to be cleaned before I was moved in. I felt the organisation was chaotic in the lead up to my hip replacement. I felt it was not a staff issue but more a lack of planning in the system.

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

From the first consultation to the operation was perfect no pain a little discomfort the first night then on my way to recovery. I have been given a new lease of life I can see for miles and all the beautiful colours I had missed for several years. No long distance glasses required only reading glasses for me now
