Daniela Stan quite literally saved my life. I originally went to her for a routine abdominal ultrasound. Through her exceptional thoroughness and care, she suggested that I also check my thyroid and breasts — something I had never done before. I was not even aware that breast ultrasound was available as a screening option, as I had always thought mammograms were the only way. During this examination, Daniela found a very small invasive breast cancer at a stage where I had absolutely no symptoms. I had done yearly blood tests and many types of screening, but never breast imaging, simply because I did not know ultrasound was possible. My biopsy specialist and cancer treatment team later told me that Daniela is truly the hero of my story. Had it not been for her expertise and vigilance in finding such a small lesion, a few years later my situation could have been dramatically different. Daniela has many years of experience in both the UK and the US and it shows in every aspect of her work. She is incredibly thorough, highly skilled and deeply compassionate. What also deeply impressed me is that her fees are extremely affordable and she even offers free follow-up scans in cases where she finds lesions — something that speaks volumes about her integrity and genuine care for her patients. I urge every woman to prioritise breast screening and to see Daniela if possible. I will be forever grateful to her — she truly changed the course of my life.

Overall the experience was great. Justyna was simply amazing, super positive, supportive and caring. I felt very looked after. Where things could be improved - better communication in terms of the order of surgery. My expectations was for a 2:30 surgery, but instead I had to wait for an elongated period without anyone communicating with me or my wife. I don’t think anyone offered my wife a cup of tea or other which would have been nice. Post surgery in the recovery room, the ladies began to inclune the bed before I was ready and to the point where I experienced a lot of pain at the surgery point. I found this very distressing and was not needed. A more progressive approach to inclining the bed would have been much better and I could have let them know I was at my comfortable limit, as opposed to being pushed passed it and into pain. I believe as a result of this pain, they gave me a heavy dose of morphine which kept me groggy for a long period into the evening. I would question if this was needed if they hadn’t pushed me past my comfortable limits.

I highly recommend Miss Mez Aref-Adib. I’m 39 years old and had a 6 cm fibroid that caused heavy bleeding and severe pain. Dr. Aref-Adib performed my laparoscopic surgery and successfully removed all of the fibroids. She was extremely attentive to my condition after the surgery, followed up closely to make sure everything was going well, and was always available to answer any questions I had during recovery. Three months later, I feel so much better, and there is only a very faint mark left from the stitches on my abdomen. I highly recommend Dr. Aref-Adib—not only because she is highly skilled and professional, but also because she is genuinely kind, caring, and responsive.

Professor Francis Chinegwundoh MBE

Urologist

I was extremely anxious to get another cystoscopy as I had a very bad experience on the NHS where I experienced probably the worst pain I have ever had when the numbing gel was pushed down my urethra. Professor Francis throughout the entire process from my first consultation, to the cystoscopy itself was amazing, as were all the staff and nurses. But in particular Francis was able to keep me calm and he took his time when putting the numbing gel in. I felt very little pain, and the experience was obviously not enjoyable but it was the best outcome. So I just want to thank Prof Francis for being very careful, and listening to me.

Mr Ahmed Hamouda

General Surgeon

My experience whilst in the care of Mr. Hamouda has been outstanding. He is a positive, confident and experienced surgeon / consultant who put me at ease, listened to my understandable concerns and immediately took decisive steps to meet my needs. The whole process, from initial contact on the phone to discharge from the ward took approximately 8 weeks - superb! I have been given guidance and advice at every step; clear outlining of the diagnosis, the proposed procedure and the post surgery support available. All the staff I have met, whatever their role, have been encouraging, pleasant and professional.

Dr Nesan Shanmugam

Cardiologist

My experience of my consultation with Dr Shanmugam was extremely rewarding as he had one of the best bedside manners that I have ever experienced, together with a personal follow-up telephone call during which he explained very clearly his diagnosis and subsequent procedure. My Professional and Personal recommendation is to any future patients that if they want the best consultation from a leading Cardiologist then they should make sure that they have an appointment with Dr Nesan.

Mr Cristian Nita

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Nita explained everything and options I had. I had tests and trials with walking aids to determine best option for me explaining both pros and cons I opted for long leg osteotomy which gave me option to have knee replacement later in life. I am 12 weeks post operation and i’m walking unaided and I am using no pain killers. I do realise I do have lot of recovery to get 100%. I cannot thank Mr Nita enough, his professional and skills have changed my mobility, without the pain that I used to endure

Different time slots and sessions or more flexibility. Clearer communication between services and funders. Digital timetable, links and resources could benefit from being clearer/more easy to find. Mixed bag of staff, although the weaker ones did go quite quickly it still felt as though I was a bit of a guinea pig and didn't get as much from those sessions. Core team very caring, compassionate and supportive. Environment is an downside, a shared office building is not the best setting.

Sapphire Eye Care

Ophthalmology

Every stage of my procedure for my cataract operations (both eyes a week apart) went like 'a dream' from the excellent initial Consultation with Professor Luff, to the 2 excellently/professionally executed outpatient operations he and his excellent team carried out, to the excellent aftercare and not to mention the miraculous results!. If anyone (like me!) is petrified of such procedures I would highly recommend Professor Luff and his Sapphire Team.

Associate Professor Alex Day

Ophthalmologist

My experience with Mr Alex Day was fantastic. From the initial consultation, follow-ups, surgery and then my first 2 weeks of aftercare (current stage) he has been exceptional. He is responsive to questions and concerns and gives a personalised experience, recognising the day to day fluctuations you live with I have no hesitation in recommending him, and look forward to my 3 month check up.

Mr Unnikrishnan Ramkumar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Ramkumar recently performed my 2nd hip replacement. I had had a full hip replacement on the other side, 2 years prior to this, also with Mr Ramkumar. I was so impressed and delighted with the success of the the first surgery, I was prepared to travel 1.5 hours just so I could have Mr Ramkumar again! 8 weeks on, I have my life back, with no pain and cannot thank Mr Ramkumar enough!

Dr Praveen Kumar

Psychiatrist

Dr. Kumar was very professional and took time at the end of our call to explain his diagnosis to me and reassure any concerns I had. I was also given a few treatment options to decide on, which was considerate given my anxiety surrounding new medication. Only issues were a few connection problems on call but that is no one’s fault. Thank you for the help and time.

Mr Augustin Hadonou

Physiotherapist

Highly recommend Gus at Kaizen Physiotherapy! He’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. He took the time to understand my issue, carefully explained the treatment and workout recovery plan, and helped me see real improvement. Great experience overall and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing physiotherapy.
