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!

Mr Ryan Higgin

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Throughout this process, Mr Higgin has given me complete confidence towards a positive outcome. It has been eight weeks since I had my left hip replaced by Mr Higgin and his team, and I cannot believe the improvement in my strength, overall posture, and flexibility of movement down my left side. The lift to my self-esteem and wellbeing has also been incredible. I now see light where as before I was clouded by the pain and discomfort. I only have thanks and gratitude for what Mr Higgin has given me. I now have so much positivity when visualising the feeling I will experience once I have my right hip replaced as my livelihood as a gardener depended on the outcome I have described above and was also explained to me by Mr Higgin when we met in September...I cannot thank him enough for making this a reality.

Schoen Clinic Chelsea

Coaching, Holistic Therapy, + 7 more

My care at this clinic has been outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone needing expert psychiatric support for complex trauma. The service is psychiatry-led, with the consultant coordinating treatment plans and supervising input from psychology, occupational therapy, group therapy and trauma modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT and embodied psychotherapy. This ensured that care was coherent rather than fragmented. I initially attended four in-person sessions per week and have now safely transitioned to monthly. The team have specialist expertise in workplace bullying, institutional power dynamics and identity-related trauma, which is unusual to find. The level of understanding and clinical leadership has made a meaningful difference to my recovery, and I could not recommend the service more highly.

The McIndoe Centre

Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

Great! Excellent overall experience. Facilities in general good, room, cleanliness, staff and procedure. I really am a fan, and if necessity arises would return with a lot of confidence that things would go well. Two small items of feedback : Negative - situation of the centre is not ideal and some patients get a view of a dingy disused courtyard . This is a minor point ! Food could be a little more interesting. Positive - its both reassuring and positive that the whole experience, especially the excellent staff, are so personal. The patient feels that care is tailored specifically to them. Little danger of removing the wrong leg! Warm human interchanges throughout, which is very, very good!

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

Mr Saurabh Odak

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I'm very pleased with my visit. I arrived late due to work commitments and couldn't to get through to the hospital to let them know. Mr Odak was waiting for me (I was the last patient of the day) and was very kind and friendly throughout the appointment. I got my diagnosis and was happy with the level of information provided. My condition was explained to me very clearly, and so were my treatment options. Mr Odak booked me in for a steroid injection, which will hopefully solve my issues. Turnaround between initial consultation and injection has been very quick (just a couple of weeks).

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.

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 Maurice T O'Flaherty

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I visited Mr O’Flaherty in relation to a long-standing problem with anterior ankle impingement. After assessing the results from an x-ray and an MRI, Mr O’Flaherty explained in a clear and concise manner that a ganglion cyst was the source of my condition. He then set out the path to treat this issue. This entailed undergoing an ankle arthroscopy to remove the cyst. Mr O’Flaherty could not have been more helpful. His bedside manner put me at ease before the surgical procedure and his aftercare has been exceptional.

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!

Dr Saqib Chowdhary

Cardiologist

I have been seeing Dr Chowdhary for several years now - I have always found him to be clear and concise - he explains procedures and medications accurately, he is very thorough and is always willing to answer any questions or concerns I have. He is a very pleasant person and takes time to ensure you leave his consultation fully informed. I would highly recommend anyone with heart concerns making an appointment to see Dr Chowdhary.

Mr Parmjit Sian

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sian explained the procedure to my satisfaction. Before the operation it was a neck operation to relieve pressure on my upper limbs. It was performed on 24 September 2025 and I recovered quickly. I am at a point of having another operation on my lower back and have total confidence that it will proceed successfully. Stepping Hill ward staff looked after me both before/during/after my procedure. I have praise for their commitment.

Mr Anwar Haq

Breast Surgeon

I met with Mr Haq today after discovering a new lump while breastfeeding. Mr Haq was kind, gentle, and extremely thorough throughout my appointment. Following imaging, he discussed my results with me and explained everything clearly. Thankfully, all results were normal. He took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns, and I left feeling reassured, positive, and at ease. Thank you Mr Haq.

Miss Laura Spanu

General Surgeon

When I went for the procedure we were there 20 mins before appointment which was at 11am. I was not seen until almost 5 pm. Things happen to hold things up but it would have been nice if someone had come to speak to us and told us about the delay. Nobody can at all and my husband had to go looking for a nurse. Besides that the whole experience could not be faulted. Excellent as have been the follow ups.
