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!

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Mr Yaser Ghani

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot recommend Mr Ghani highly enough. After five weeks of being injured and feeling completely ignored by others, he was the first person who truly listened to me and took my symptoms and explanations seriously. From the moment of the consultation, it was clear that he was thorough, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in understanding what was going on. His examination was incredibly detailed, and he worked logically through my symptoms and their possible causes rather than dismissing them. Thanks to his careful approach, I finally received clear answers and the help I had been desperately needing. I was thoroughly impressed not only by his clinical expertise but also by his bedside manner. He was calm, attentive, and reassuring, which made a huge difference after such a frustrating experience. Feeling heard and believed was invaluable. An outstanding consultant — professional, compassionate, and clearly excellent at what he does.

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.

Mr John Pereira

Plastic Surgeon

If you are looking for a professional , caring and specialist surgeon for your surgeries then Mr Pereira could not be a better choice . From initial consultation to procedure and after care , everything was explained and delivered with kindness and clarity . The booking process and post surgery follow up appointments were arranged efficiently with contact details easily available at every stage should you have any queries or concerns . My actual surgical procedure was as explained to me pre operatively , making me feel relaxed and calm throughout . The surgical outcome from my particular procedure is amazing with virtually no visible scars , a testament to Mr Pereiras vast surgical experience and talent . I cannot recommend Regain Aesthetics highly enough and would definitely recommend to friends and family without hesitation .

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.

Fortius Clinic Wimbledon

Steve is excellent. Personable and very professional and clearly knows his stuff. He operated on our son following a shoulder dislocation playing rugby. Throughout the process, Steve was clear with the surgical options and very thorough in his explanations, particularly understanding with the emotions of a teenager and his desperation to be back on the pitch again. He has a friendly manner and was always quick to answer extra questions we had between consultations. He did an excellent surgical job on our son and we’d have no hesitation in recommending him. We are very grateful for his care and are very pleased with the result of his expertise and handiwork. Thank you so much Steve and team.

Daye

Diagnostics & Testing, Infectious Diseases, + 2 more

From start to finish Daye is intuitive and easy to use. I’ve done many online health tests prior to this but nothing compares to the level of service Daye provides. For clarity I did the full screen and purchased the 30 min nurse call. The sample is beyond easy to take and post. The results came back fast and were clear to understand, on top I was sent a beautiful kind email and was also offered a free call to over my HPV results. I didn’t use this but my 30 min call with the nurse was invaluable. I would have been happy to pay triple the price for the service I received. I will be 100% using Daye again and have already recommended to friends.

Real You Medical Aesthetics Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

I recently visited Dr Kathryn at The Real You Clinic for some botox. She took the time to listen to everything I said, and gave very good advice, and I am very happy with the results. Most of my lines have disappeared, ond even the couple of deep forehead lines I had, now appear so much softer. She has achieved this, while still maintaining a natural look., which was exactly what I wanted. The clinic is in a lovely setting and always feels very clean and welcoming. I would 100% recommend Dr Katnryn to anyone looking to get botox.

Ms Gayle Merchant

Holistic Therapist

I had an online meeting with Gayle which was really helpful, much more relaxed than expected whilst including an in-depth exploration of my test results, health issues, and their timeline and effects on my life. Gayle is polite, respectful, understanding, and easy to talk to, as well as thorough and interested to understand and create a full picture. She’s very knowledgeable in a range of areas and made various links between results and possible causes. I look forward to continuing my health improvement with her support.

Dorset Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I noticed the cleanliness of the office and waiting rooms. A very polite gentleman dealt with our car parking charge and wished us well - this was noted too. We were also kept informed of why the appointment was slightly late - this too was most appreciated since others in the waiting room were going ahead of us despite having later appointments. Simple things do make all the difference. Appointment itself was efficient as was the subsequent X-ray test downstairs. All in all - very pleased.

Dr Abdul Nassimizadeh

ENT Surgeon

Dr Abdul Nasaimizadeh done a great job on my nose talking through everything with me. Just had my follow-up appointment and pleased to say everything is great no problems at all. Dr Nassimizadeh is friendly & professional and puts you at ease, even asking if you have any questions or concerns and he’s happy to answer. In my opinion this doctor is a great asset to the NHS. Can’t praise him enough…

Mr Gurdip Shergill

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My wife and I were immediately put at ease by Mr Shergill, his explanation of my knee condition was second to none. After a physical examination and viewing my x-ray it was concluded that that an operation would be to my advantage and helped me with all my questions, I came away feeling very positive and enlightened. My thanks to Mr Shergill for his time today it was much appreciated.

Mr Nawar Abdulsattar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Abdulsattar in relation to my hip replacement surgery. From the very first moment he inspired confidence and put me at ease. He was calm and relaxed in his manner, which really helped. His explanations were very clear and easy to understand, and I never felt rushed at any point. I came away feeling reassured and confident in both the surgery and the care I was receiving.

Dr Jonathan Slater is an exceptional dermatologist! Professional, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. I've always felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. He always takes the time to explain everything clearly. Very thorough! His work is outstanding, my surgery scars have always been incredibly neat - highly recommend!

Dr Evangelia Theochari

Dr. Theochari was extremely kind and put me completely at ease. She listened to all of my symptoms and asked thorough questions, and explained her thinking and next steps. I was very reassured and felt supported and listened to throughout the appointment, and I feel confident in understanding what comes next.
