Dr Alek Nikolic

Cosmetic Doctor, Dermatologist

20/10 I was recommended to Dr Alek by multiple friends, including one who is a doctor herself and trained under him. He came highly, highly recommended and is known as the best in the business — and I can completely understand why. From the moment I walked into the practice, I was warmly greeted by Sam, the practice administrator. She was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. Thank you, Sam! I’ve seen many aesthetic doctors and practitioners before, and Dr Alek is by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Previously, consultations felt rushed — numbing cream applied, a quick question about what I wanted, and straight into the procedure. With Dr Alek, it was completely different. We began with a thorough consultation where we discussed my concerns, the procedures I was interested in, and everything I’ve previously had done — including where, when, and any medications I’m on. He then did a full facial assessment, looking at proportions, symmetry, and structure. He carefully felt for any existing filler or lumps, explained what they were, and clearly walked me through what we can and can’t do moving forward. Everything was explained in a way that was detailed yet easy to understand. We created a thoughtful plan of action together, and what stood out most was that he never once tried to “sell” me on anything — something I’ve experienced with every other practitioner before. It’s immediately clear that he truly cares about his patients, has an incredible passion for what he does, and an exceptional eye for detail. He really knows his craft. Today we did Botox, and it was genuinely pain-free. He is precise, intentional, and incredibly gentle. As soon as I left, I couldn’t wait to call my husband and tell him how amazing the experience was. I’ve now officially joined my group of friends who cannot recommend Dr Alek highly enough. Thank you, Dr Alek and team!

Dr Catherine Spencer-Smith

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

Dr Catherine Spencer Smith was the first doctor to correctly diagnose my hip problem after I had previously been misdiagnosed by the NHS with a femoral hernia. Her assessment was extremely thorough and helped me clearly understand the true cause of my symptoms, including how they started after bunion surgery. Following my hip arthroscopy, she also helped me understand the cause of my lower back pain during recovery, reassuring me that the surgery itself was not the issue. She gave clear guidance on the physiotherapy I should follow and even offered to contact my physiotherapist directly, which I felt went well beyond what is normally expected. Her examinations are always precise, thoughtful, and very reassuring. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a careful and expert musculoskeletal opinion.

Professor Iain Bruce

ENT Surgeon

Professor Iain Bruce performed an adenotonsillectomy on our four-year-old, and we were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. From the initial consultation through pre-op, the operation itself, and post-op care, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism and care. Nothing was ever too much trouble, every question was answered thoroughly, and the procedure was explained in a clear, reassuring way. All of the staff at Spire Hospital were incredibly friendly and supportive, which made the entire experience much less daunting for both us and our son. Our son has healed very well, and we’ve noticed a marked improvement in his sleep, snoring, and ability to concentrate during the day. We would not hesitate to recommend Professor Iain Bruce and would return in a heartbeat if we ever needed to.

Mr Bilal Al-Obaidi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a hip replacement at The Circle Hospital on 2nd August 2025, performed by Mr Bilal Al‑Obaidi. Mr Al-Obaidi is a true gentleman - kind, empathetic, and incredibly reassuring. Before the operation, he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt fully informed and completely at ease. Throughout my stay, I felt genuinely cared for at every stage. The surgery itself went extremely well, and my recovery has been excellent. Mr Al-Obaidi is clearly held in very high regard by staff across all departments, which speaks volumes about him as both a surgeon and a person. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my consultant and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering a hip replacement.

Dr. Giuseppe Pierpaolo Merola

Psychiatrist

My first session with Dr. Merola was excellent. I was very nervous before the meeting, but he immediately made me feel at ease. He let me speak and listened attentively and compassionately. He explained things and suggested helpful measures. I finally felt understood by someone who knew how to help me. He proposed several treatment options, advising me on which one he felt was best for my specific case, but leaving me room to decide. He was exactly what I wanted: a professional who could understand my situation, offer his expert opinion, and also involve me in deciding which path to follow. During this long and difficult period for me, I couldn't have hoped for anything better: he gave me hope again.

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Bhatti was the perfect doctor for our pregnancy & birthing journey. We felt so comfortable the whole way through our pregnancy which was entirely due to her tremendous expertise & competency. She was incredibly thorough in making sure my wife was in tip top shape prior to the birth and the procedure itself was seamles. She managed to cater for both my wife’s very relaxed nature and my highly strung one (!) which is no easy feat. Finally the whole healing process has been a dream, barely a mark on my wife following her Caesarean section and she has had a very straightforward and painless recovery. Thanks so much, we are eternally grateful. Lewis & Georgie

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

1)I found the signage to the main lifts and to Lyndhurst rooms confusing. There should be signage in the ground floor lift lobby saying which departments are on which floor. I have been complaining about this since 1971. 2)The excellent group portrait of the Royal Free consultants in about 1970 which used to be on the ground floor but has now been removed to the 12th Floor no longer has the key saying who they are. This is a digrace and an insult to the memory of a fine group of men (and about ten women), The key should be found and reinstated immediately.

I injured my back the week before Christmas — I could not even walk with the pain. I emailed Dr Swan over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday. I should’ve known from my previous experiences that he really cares about his patients and their outcomes so I was not surprised when he called me at home in the evening to discuss what I could do to immediately to relieve the spasm and a plan of next steps for investigations and treatment. I could not think of a safer pair of hands to be in when you are in severe pain and dealing with a spinal injury.

Cleveland Clinic London

Vascular Surgery, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

From the initial outpatient appointment to the procedure , everything was smooth and pleasant. I didn’t have to wait long when I visited the facility and it was not difficult to book appointments for further treatment. Karla, Michele and all the nursing team were very kind , thoughtful and accommodating. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed and they didn’t leave questions unanswered. Dr Woollard was very attentive and helpful. He was reassuring and made everything clear. He was understanding and showed empathy .

Mr Christopher Buckle

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I needed a Total Hip Replacement. East Sussex gave me the option of choosing Sussex Premier health. I found Mr Buckle to actively listen to me, he was clear about the operation and there were no surprises. My post op appointment was great; clear and straightforward. I know what is and is not possible going forward. Mr Buckle should give what I guess might be called “bedside manner” coaching to some of his contemporaries and others coming up the “medical ladder” so to speak.

I had an amazing experience with Dr Nikki Wilson. She took the time to really understand my situation and made recommendations that were specific to me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I genuinely felt that her focus was on finding the most cost-effective and appropriate solutions for my personal needs, rather than upselling. I left the appointment feeling listened to, cared for, and very well looked after.

Mr Achal Goyal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Clinic was running early and was a review, following procedure about 6 months ago. The August visit followed about 5 years struggle with an ulcer on my big toe, which had resulted in me being unable to swim or bath/ shower easily. It took minutes to perform and I feel that I have got my life back. He did it there and then. My podiatrist was so impressed she used it as a case study on a staff training day.

This is our first pregnancy and we decided to book in for an early scan, we wanted the reassurance. From the moment we walked in, the staff were lovely and very friendly. We weren’t waiting long before Rebecca took us up for our ultrasound. Rebecca was lovely and explained everything to us. We were delighted to see a little flutter. Would recommend Mourne Scan Clinic

We were at the Portland for a weeks stay. The staff were helpful, friendly and professional. I was kept updated and could ask as many questions as I needed. The rooms are fine and clean. The nurses were all pretty incredible. A huge thankyou to them, we saw drs and consultants very regularly so felt reassured throughout.

Riz Ultrasound

Physiotherapy

Second time using Viz Ultrasound. I can now take the report to my GP for treatment moving forward. Expert care and compassion. They go above and beyond to insure you fully understand any concerns. Very efficient and no waiting time for results unlike NHS. Pricing excellent for services provided too. Highly recommend 👏
