Dr Monika Bajaj

Paediatrician

Finding the right support for a neurodivergent child is overwhelming, emotional and often urgent. We originally sought help due to significant toileting difficulties, and through Doctify found Dr Bajaj. After previously seeing another paediatrician who looked at issues in isolation, Dr Bajaj was the first professional who truly put the whole picture together. Over the past four to five years, she has supported our child through ADHD diagnosis, careful medication titration, holistic reassessment and later an autism diagnosis following specialist ADOS assessment with another professional. Her approach is direct and thorough, always focused on what is best for the child. Starting medication was frightening due to stigma and fear around side effects, but Dr Bajaj guided us carefully with proper monitoring, regular reviews and shared-care communication with our GP once stabilised. After trialling different medications, our child is now on Elvanse, which has made a really positive difference to focus, calmness and daily functioning. Private care has not been easy. It involved long travel, significant cost, juggling family pressures and at times challenging admin processes. However, the hospitals Dr Bajaj works with, particularly The Portland Hospital, have been consistently kind and professional, and Dr Bajaj has even extended clinics to fit our child in when needed, which we are very grateful for. While her style is firm and very to the point, I have never doubted that she genuinely prioritises children’s wellbeing and long-term outcomes. Our child is calmer, more able to engage in learning and daily life, and far less overwhelmed than before. The journey has been hard, but the impact on our child’s quality of life has been significant. I would recommend Dr Bajaj to parents looking for thorough, responsible and genuinely child-centred ADHD and autism support, with the honest understanding that private care comes with practical and financial challenges.

Mr Kalyana Javangula

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Following an angiogram that showed a need for heart by-pass surgery, I had a follow up appointment with Mr Javangula at the end of January 2024. At this appointment we talked about my heart history, and he comprehensively explained the need for by-pass surgery. At this stage there was a 3 to 4 month waiting list with the NHS, but because of the severity of my condition I opted for private treatment. I had quadruple heart by-pass surgery on the 14th February 2024 a (a great day to get your heart fixed). I cannot thank Mr Javangula enough for the amazing care I received. He came to see me personally every day following my surgery, including across the weekend. He was incredibly kind and reassuring, always taking the time to explain everything clearly at every stage. His professionalism and kindness made a huge difference at what was a very worrying and stressful time. I would also like to say thank you to the whole team at Nuffield Leeds Hospital. The care I received was outstanding from admission to my discharge. Every member of staff was attentive and compassionate. I would highly recommend Mr Javangula and the team at Nuffield. If you’re looking for a heart surgeon, he’s your man! Thank you so much.

᠎ Stephanie Pepper

Physiotherapist

After seriously injuring both ankles and a long recovery, it was a complete game changer when I started treatment with my physio Steph. She was friendly and professional and quickly put me at my ease. Steph was both flexible and methodical in her approach, measuring my progress, returning to exercises regularly, which I found helpful in maintaining my focus and my momentum. Steph was responsive and adjusted exercises where necessary but generally this was not needed as she pitched the pace and level of activity to be suitably challenging. Steph was goal orientated, encouraging and solution focused. It felt like I had a clear pathway to recovery and that Steph was really committed to my well-being and focused on helping me get the best outcomes. The centre have a range of treatments available including massage, podiatry and Pilates classes so that I could benefit from a holistic approach to my injuries. Steph has explained things well to me as we have gone along so that I have understood the rationale which I have really appreciated. Her expertise and care have been a huge positive during a difficult time. Thank you to Steph and all the team, I would highly recommend The Medical.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Emersons Green

Dentistry, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 6 more

Overall experience was poor. After initial consultation I had little or no contact with the hospital, any contact was initiated by myself. Clear lack of communication between departments. I had already paid for my procedure and waiting for a surgery slot. Surgery was scheduled for a Wednesday but received a call the Friday before basically saying if I didnt drive up that day and do a blood test, the operation couldn't go ahead. Luckily I was in a position where I could do that but imagine if I had kids, couldn't get out of work, had no car/transport. The list goes on. The actual surgery seems to have gone well. (1 week post op). But.... the whole experience was pretty poor, no, very poor. I'd have been upset if this was the NHS but this was a privately paid procedure and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already booked time off work, staff cover, kennels for my Cane Corso's (which wasn't cheap) I genuinely would have asked for my money back and gone somewhere else.

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

I arrived circa 15min before my appointment time as requested and was greeted courteously by the reception staff before being lead to an examination room to undergo a basic check of my eyesight and health check/questionnaire. On retuning to the waiting area I was almost immediately greeted by Mr Bhargava. The consolation was just 5min after the appointment time, which is excellent. The consultation was thorough and very professional, Mr Bhargava has a very good manner and following questioning and examination explained all the parameters relevant to my condition. Mr Bhargava then went on to detail treatment and advice in a concise but detailed way covering all aspects very well. I left feeling that the visit was well worthwhile and that I had been treated well in all aspects of the consolation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Bhargava to friends and colleagues.

Mr Sinan Barazi

Neurosurgeon

When quarterly injections no longer worked for my condition, I was told surgery was my only option. A daunting prospect, particularly as I had never had major surgery before. I am so fortunate that I was referred to Mr Barazi. From the first meeting he asked detailed questions about my condition and listened to me. His calm, confident and personable manner instilled trust immediately. He took the time to explain the procedure, showing me examples and talking me through my MRI and CT scans, as well as preparing me for how I might feel post-surgery. My many questions were answered with infinite patience and continue to be as I recover. My life is returning to normal again, something I found hard to imagine a few weeks ago. Mr Barazi is an amazing surgeon, and a kind and caring human being. I cannot thank or recommend him highly enough.

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I can’t recommend Dr Emily Cary highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through the early stages of perimenopause. From our very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, understood, and reassured during what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Her knowledge, calm approach, and clear explanations helped me make sense of my symptoms and feel confident about the next steps. She took the time to tailor my care to me as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Thanks to her support and guidance, I feel far more informed, supported, and positive about managing this transition. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any woman at the start of their menopause journey.

Physio Remedies

Acupuncture, Hand Therapy, + 3 more

I ruptured my Achilles tendon playing squash last September. My consultant surgeon strongly recommended Physio Remedies, who have an excellent reputation for helping athletes recover and return to sport in the best possible condition. I’m being treated by Naomi Murray, who closely follows the latest international research on Achilles injuries, which is very reassuring. The rehab plan has always been clear, progress has been excellent, and follow-up is very responsive whenever I have questions. Her patients’ recovery and long-term outcomes are clearly a genuine priority for her. The facilities at the Lansdowne Club are also outstanding and make a real difference to the quality of the rehabilitation. I would definitely recommend Physio Remedies.

HCA Healthcare UK The Harley Street Clinic

Gastroenterology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 9 more

Overall the experience was excellent, with one frustrating aspect - initially I was told that my surgery would be at 15:00, and that I should attend the hospital at 13:00. A couple of days before the surgery, I was told that the surgery time had changed to 14:15 and I should attend at 12:15. I did so, and was then kept waiting for over an hour in the lobby as the room was not ready - giving the impression that it was unnecessary for us to have come early. A little frustrating, however the staff were incredibly friendly and kind.

King Edward VII's Hospital

Urology, Dermatology, + 25 more

The staff at the hospital were all very friendly, helpful and efficient. They understood the importance of admission for surgery to the patient and were very supportive. All of the clinical and medical staff were first class, but the support staff were also excellent. The room was clean and comfortable and I was well looked after. The menu options were very good and the food was delicious. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending this excellent hospital.

Spire Parkway Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 16 more

The care shown by the whole team, from the Anaesthetist, Consultant, Theatre team, Nursing staff, to the lovely ladies who delivered tea and biscuits, was exemplary. I felt very cared for by everyone who was part of my admission, which made a stressful experience so much easier. A particular shout out to the lovely Donna, who went above and beyond with her kindness and support. Thank you Spire, you felt like a very safe pair of hands.

Mr Rajesh (Raj) Kucheria

Urologist

I saw Mr Kucheria regarding a recently diagnosed concern and his explanations and suggested treatment were extremely clear. After an ultrasound, I had a follow-up consultation and he calmly took me through the (thankfully good) results as well as making suggestions for management of my condition going ahead. His manner is very relaxed and calm and that is exactly what is needed when you are asking a medical professional for advice.

Dr James Gratwicke

Neurologist

My session with Dr Gratwicke was excellent in all ways. I thought him perfectly listening and helpful insightful comments. Inhave rates a 4 star experience because I arrived on time and waited 1 hour in the very comfortable waiting room. I felt a 15 min wait is reasonable A up to 30 min… but nearly an hour too much. Dr G though was worth the wait- he was excellent.

Mr Ramesh Kumar Gurunathan

ENT Surgeon

Doctor Gurunathan is thorough and very capable. He explained my condition to me and the processes by which he treated it in a manner that was easy to follow. My surgery went off without a hitch and the aftercare was lovely. I have much cleaner breathing now and have a much better idea of how to handle my nasal health now.

Mr Michael Wilson

General Surgeon

Michael was excellent at explaining everything, from the initial consultation detailing my issues ( Inguinal hernia) through to the operation and the follow up post-op meeting. He has a very relaxing manner. I would certainly recommend Michael. Ps my operation was a complete success.
