Professor Nikhil Vasdev

Urologist

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer following routine screening, and I am at the younger end of the spectrum, with two teenage children who rely on me, an incredible partner, and a very full, active life. Needless to say, the diagnosis came as a shock. From the very outset, **Professor Nikhil Vasdev** was exceptional. He fast-tracked seeing us, was calm, reassuring, and immediately inspired confidence. He listened carefully — not just to the clinical facts, but to us as people — and set out a clear, structured plan at a time when everything felt overwhelming. His manner with both me and my partner was outstanding; thoughtful, compassionate, and quietly authoritative. My cancer was aggressive and required surgery to ensure a cure. Throughout the process, Professor Vasdev was completely transparent without ever being alarmist. He fought hard to preserve both my continence and sexual function, and went the extra mile during surgery to maintain the nerve structures wherever safely possible. That level of care and skill has made an enormous difference to my recovery and quality of life. What truly set him apart was the way he managed the entire journey end-to-end. He coordinated all referrals — oncology, fertility, and beyond — and delivered what can only be described as a fully managed service. He recognised that we were in shock and removed complexity at every step, allowing us to focus on getting through it. Without underplaying the seriousness of having cancer, the speed, efficiency, and excellence of my treatment — and the rapidity of my recovery — has made the whole experience feel almost like a non-event. I know how fortunate I am that this was caught early and handled so exceptionally well. We will always be deeply grateful to Professor Nikhil Vasdev. His skill, leadership, and humanity have had a profound impact on our lives, and we remain indebted to him.

Professor George Du Toit

Consultant Allergist, Paediatrician

Professor George Du Toit is an outstanding and truly exceptional allergy consultant. He has been caring for my son for the past seven years, during which time he has consistently demonstrated the highest level of expertise, professionalism, and compassion. From our very first appointment when we realised my son had a nut allergy, he made us feel listened to, supported, and confident in the care my son was receiving. This is why I wouldn’t trust anyone else apart from Professor Du Toit. He explains even the most complex aspects of allergy management with clarity and patience, ensuring both parents and child fully understand each step of the process. What truly sets Professor Du Toit apart is his calm, reassuring manner and his genuine commitment to his patients’ long-term wellbeing. He has carefully followed my son’s progress over the years, adapting treatment plans thoughtfully and always taking the time to answer questions, no matter how small. His approach has not only improved my son’s health but has also empowered us as a family to manage allergies with confidence and peace of mind. The impact Professor Du Toit has had on my son goes far beyond medical care. He has been such a positive role model that my son now aspires to become an allergy consultant himself, inspired by Professor Du Toit’s dedication, knowledge, and kindness. To inspire a child in this way is truly remarkable and speaks volumes about the type of clinician and person he is. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Professor Du Toit guide us through our allergy journey. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him to any family seeking exceptional, compassionate, and expert allergy care.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 18 more

The administrative processes are not always easy to naviagate but the staff at the hospital are professional and helpful. Staff on reception seem well briefed on what information is needed from patients. Clinical staff - both on the wards and in the CT scanning teams were professional and reassuring. It would be useful - for people accompanying a patient for a procedure - to have some information about facilities available to them. I was at the hospital for 12 hours and the only way to get something to eat was to go out of the hopsital to buy it. It would have been helpful to have some catering available on site - if only by machine.

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

My eye sight was on the verge of being under the limit for legal driving so the only way to travel would have been Taxi, Bus,Trains and willing friends and neighbours to give lifts as needed. My wife and I live in higher Harlech which is rather hilly, I am on the disabled register my wife is 91 years old still driving but was putting more and more pressure on her! After I had the required surgery by Mrs Mathews, the following day was a revelation brightness and visibility that I had not seen in years.

Dr Cheryl Lambe

General Practitioner

The meeting started 15 minutes late but Cheryl was very apologetic. Almost immediately, she put myself and my partner at ease.we are both usually quite private people and obviously the content of what we were discussing was very personal and sensitive, but Cheryl was very easy to talk to. She recognised the changes we were trying to implement and was not at all judgemental. She was very supportive and kind with her comments and we left the meeting quite positive yet still grounded in reality.

Miss Dana Touqmatchi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an excellent experience with Dana. She has an exceptional bedside manner, emanating kindness and care with a friendly, attentive and personable approach. As an anxious patient, this really helped to put me at ease. The c section and recovery went better than I had anticipated, and the care I was provided both during and after the procedure was exceptional. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under Dana’s care for such an important day, and I would recommend her unreservedly.

UK Vein Clinic - Glasgow

Vascular Surgery

The experience overall was good once seen by clinical staff. Had to wait 15 minutes after planned appointment time, 30 minutes in total after being told to be there 15 minutes before appointment. I understand than clinically time may run over, but there was no communication which would have been useful. I wonder if specific reception staff for the vein clinic would be helpful. Waiting area would also benefit from coffee machine for relatives waiting.

Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My recent visit was to review progress following my second partial knee replacement operation this year. Prior to both operations Mr Griffiths explained clearly what the operations entailed and the recovery process. He was always willing to answer any questions I had in a professional and caring way. Both operations went well and I have every confidence in his skill and professionalism. I would recommend his services most highly.

One Heart Clinic Harley Street

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology

From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt welcoming and well organized. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in process was smooth. I didn’t feel rushed or overlooked at any point. Everything ran on time, and the overall atmosphere was calm and professional. It made what can be a stressful visit feel much easier, and I felt well taken care of from start to finish.

Dr Amin Karim

Dr Amin Karim was a very caring, undertaking and informative consultant who was able to diagnose during the first consultation. He prescribed an immediate course of action and understood the need for looking for a financially viable long term plan . I would highly recommend his services for putting your mind at ease when faced with conditions that affect your quality of your life.

The care I had from Miss Cartwright was excellent. I found her to be extremely helpful, approachable and very professional.

My overall experience of being under her care is extremely positive. I think she’s exceptional .

I came to Barts for PFO closure with Dr Micheal Mullen and can not thank everyone at St Barts enough for their help, care and professionalism, from the moment I walked through the doors to the moment I left. The nurses on ward 3C were incredible, friendly, helpful and me laugh throughout. The surgical team were brilliant! So informative and put me at ease throughout.

Professor Paul Chatrath

ENT Surgeon

I can't recommend Professor Paul Chatrath enough. Having had this surgery before, I was a little apprehensive about going down the surgical route again. I found him to be approachable, warm, knowledgeable well prepared for my surgery. I am very pleased to say that I am now breathing better for the first time in years and as such feel I have got my life back.

Even though there was an error with the theatre not being booked correctly the team did everything to ensure that the change of time was communicated. They looked after me and I cannot fault anyone on the team who rescued what could have been a very stressful event and made it right.

Very happy with the overall quality of care received. The friendliness of all the staff was very comforting, at a worrying time. Thank you to all those who helped me out. (And I do happen to be a medical doctor who was experiencing here ‘life from the other side of the fence’!).
