Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was referred to Newmedica Newcastle for eye cataract surgery by my optician. I had my first eye surgery done in September, and my second eye done in December. I received excellent service from all the Newmedica colleagues whenever I visited; for my pre-surgery consultation, the surgeries themselves, and the post-surgery visits. Those working on the reception were friendly and made me feel welcome. The waiting area was clean and tidy, with hot drinks available. The colleagues who did the testing, pre-surgery administration, and post-surgery follow up checks were all very knowledgeable. They took me through the surgery preparations, explaining the process as they went, putting me at ease and answering any questions. After surgery they made sure I was aware of what I needed to do over the following three weeks to ensure my eyes healed completely. The surgical team were very proficient, and I felt I was in safe hands. The procedure was explained at every step, putting me at ease. The consultant for my first procedure was Nicholas Wride. The procedure itself took just under 3 minutes, which I had not expected, as internet searches indicated it would take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. I was so impressed and, as I was told I could have the same consultant for the cataract removal procedure on my second eye, I didn’t hesitate to ask for Nicholas Wride again. My second procedure was equally as expertly performed, and this time took 3 minutes 20 seconds. There was no pain during the procedures and only very slight discomfort straight afterwards. Other than the pain relief eye drops that were put in for the surgical procedure, I didn’t need to take any painkillers at all. The hardest part for me was remembering to use the post-surgery eye drops the clinic provided, as my eyes felt that good. Three weeks after surgery, I attended the clinic for post-surgery follow up checks. I was signed off from the clinic after the follow up check on my second eye. My vision is now excellent, and I only need to use reading glasses for small print. Before the surgery I wore varifocal lens glasses at all times. I wasn’t expecting the improvements in my sight to be quite so good, so I’m pleased I took up the opportunity to have my cataracts removed and really pleased that it was Newmedica Newcastle who did the procedures and looked after me and my sight so well. Thank you Newmedica!

There was a lot of waiting for drops to take effect as part of the treatment but the fact that everytime one of the staff passed they acknowledged you so you didn't feel you had been forgotten, a big plus in my book. There were many times when my DOB and name were checked. This made me feel secure as I think it made me feel that any mix up was very unlikely, another plus in my book. During the set up for the operation I was asked to look into the very bright light. Not a problem for the eye being operated on but keeping my other eye open as requested was difficult for me. Perhaps some form of shading for the other eye could be provided so that the natural instinct to close that eye could be eliminated and thus the natural effect of doing that affecting the eye being operated on. During the operation the surgeon needed to speak to me at times. I am hard of hearing and didn't have my hearing aids in. At times it was hard to hear the surgeon. The issue was worse when the "pump" noise was going. Some of this was the fact that she was a lady with a higher pitch voice, whereas I could easily hear the male voice in the room. I have the same issue hearing my wife for the same reason (I claim!). Perhaps it would be good if the surgeon established if there is a hearing problem and if there is, the voice volume could be raised. I realise that this is my problem but I cannot be unique in this case given the age profile of you patients. This visit was my second eye so I knew what was happening. However, thinking back to my first visit perhaps a slightly better introduction could be given to new patients as to what to expect with the intervals between patient staff interactions to help limit any anxiety they may feel. Also a bit more information regarding the after effects of the operation could help and anxiety at that time. I realise you will wince at this but I found a YouTube video of american origin that went through the after effects step by step and this relieved me as I realised what was happening to me was normal. Overall I was very pleased with the atitude of all the staff I met and the service they provided. Thank you very much.

Loughview Health

General Practice (GP)

After not getting an appointment with our GP I decided to book an appointment late on in the afternoon when I became concerned with my child. I was able to book online with ease and had the appointment for 35 minutes later. The staff were welcoming and it wasn’t long in the waiting room before we were seen. Fiona made my child and myself feel at ease and did a thorough check. She even offered a follow up MOT check the next day which left me very reassured. This is the third time I’ve used the clinic and would recommend to anyone needing piece of mind when they can’t access their own GP unfortunately..

Mr David O'Reilly

General Surgeon

At my recent visit, I felt very looked after, made totally at ease and comfortable. My surgeon Mr David O’Reilly was absolutely brilliant talked me through everything what could happen, the procedure and didn’t leave no details out which made me calm and confident I was in safe hands. My surgeon came to see me before the operation checked I was ok and also came to see me after the operation which I was very grateful for as he talked me through everything that he had done. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing the surgery I had done.

Professor Ewen Griffiths

General Surgeon

Professor Griffiths and his team performed esophagectomy surgery on 24.11.25. I was informed in advance about the procedure and the operation was very successful. At all times Professor Griffiths acted with utmost professionalism and his knowledge and skills gave me total confidence in the surgical procedure. Post operation was supportive with daily meetings in ICU and the ward. The recovery has been quick and down to the skills of the Professor and his team coupled with the care of the doctors and nurses at the ICU and ward.

Mr Simon Coleridge

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From start to finish my experience has been excellent, from admin to reception to consultations to the hospital team. Mr Coleridge has been clear & concise, answering my questions, fully explaining my options/ the prognosis etc. The option to wait probably the best part of a year for NHS treatment was not an option for my injury, and having had Mr Coleridge recommended by both my GP and physio I’d extremely glad I dealt with him, and he got me back on my feet…..literally!

London Gynaecology - Harley Street

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr. Muglu has been one of the best consultants I have ever seen. I read his reviews before booking and they are all true. He is kind, patient and explains everything in understandable terms and is never in a rush to get you out and onto the next one! He went above and beyond to advise me even once my gynae tests were completed and we were had to explore other options. The support staff were also always welcoming and attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience. Thank you!

Professor John Timperley

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have recently had my right hip replaced with Mr Timperley carrying out the procedure using the Spare technique. The service and Care I received from him has been second and none. I was very apprehensive about having any procedure done, but he reassured me and gave me all the facts.I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon and one that I felt I could trust. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Timperley to anybody reading this review.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

Disappointed I had to wait 20 minutes for an appointment first thing in the morning, however everything else was positive. Waiting area and treatment room were both tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Some additional work required and dentist took me through options for treatment and resulting cost. Dental work was very good and pain free(!). Payment all completed to my satisfaction. Overall, a positive experience

Professor Eli Silber

Neurologist

Professor Silber is an exceptional neurologist. I have complete confidence in his judgment and expertise. He is incredibly thorough, sharp, and excellent at diagnosing, and he always takes the time to listen and explain everything clearly. He is also very caring and makes you feel completely comfortable discussing all your concerns. I felt reassured and supported after seeing him and would highly recommend him.

Dr Thines Karunakaran

Gastroenterologist

Friendly and professional staff. Doctor explained the process beforehand and put you at ease. Results report provided before you leave. Nice brand new unit (2025), purpose built for the role. You will need to be collected if you have sedation but I was still in and out within 2 hours. Overall I was very impressed by everyone I had contact with and would recommend without hesitation.

Miss Salena Bains

General Surgeon

Miss Bains was incredibly welcoming and kind, which immediately made me feel comfortable. She took the time to really listen to me and explained everything clearly, which I found very reassuring. She was efficient yet never rushed, and her professionalism and genuine care really stood out. She has a wonderful bedside manner and made the whole experience feel much less daunting.

Miss Dorota Hardy

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

After many frustrating Dr appointments I finally felt like I had a doctor who listen to my concerns I expressed as well as validated them. She was very focused on providing me with solutions to my problem (things that may help) and was very well informed on things I can do to help my condition. She was incredibly professional and had a great energy.

The Westminster Maternity Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

I had an amazing birthing experience at The Westminster Suite. Every single midwife and staff member I encountered was so lovely and helpful, I really couldn’t have asked for any better. The rooms are great and have the best view of London which was lovely waiting for baby to arrive and healing after birth.

Essex Private Doctors

General Practice (GP)

I had appointment with Dr Henry and it was such a reassuring appointment. I felt truly listened to and supported, and I left with a clear, well-structured plan to manage my pain. It made a huge difference to feel understood. I couldn’t recommend this doctor more highly.
