Mr Nick Elkington

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot thank Mr Nick Elkington enough for the outstanding care and surgical skill he showed during my laparoscopic hysterectomy on 5th December 2025 at Frimley Park Hospital. From the outset, his calm, professional and reassuring confidence made me feel I was completely in the best possible hands. Despite concerns that my tumour might rupture, the surgery went perfectly — it did not burst as predicted, and I was able to have keyhole surgery with minimal wounding, which has healed beautifully. Mr Elkington combines exceptional technical ability with genuine care and compassion. He explains things clearly, honestly and without any unnecessary fluff — just down-to-earth facts delivered with kindness and respect. His approach inspired total trust and gave both me and my family immense reassurance at a very difficult time. He is an incredible surgeon, an incredible human being, and quite simply a superhero to me and my family. I will be forever grateful for his skill, care and dedication.

Mr Arun Prasath Shanmuganandan

General Surgeon

I recently saw Mr Shanmuganandan for investigation of bowel issues and couldn't be happier with the care I received. From the initial consultation through to follow-up, Arun was clear, thorough, and reassuring. He explained the endoscopy process in detail beforehand, so I knew exactly what to expect. The procedure itself at Shirley Oaks Hospital went smoothly. There was a slight delay to the start time—understandable given it was the first session after the Christmas break—but this was communicated and didn't affect the quality of care. The procedure was efficient and went as well as you could hope for something that's inherently not pleasant. What I particularly appreciated was Arun's approach to communication. He was keen to give me feedback immediately after the procedure, which I valued, and the follow-up has been thorough with clear next steps. Highly recommended for anyone needing colorectal investigation or treatment.

Cleveland Clinic Moorgate Outpatient Centre

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology, + 8 more

Asked to be 15 mins early for scan, but then not called until 30 mins or so after time of appointment without any prior indication of running late (perhaps because it was at 6pm ). Head scanner was still busy so junior radiologer kindly chatted to me for 15 mins after I'd changed to kill time. Having been told it would take 15 mins, scan took about 45 mins and team forgot to talk to me or put music on despite me saying I was a bit claustrophic (but can get by ok). Then at 8pm, no doubt in rush to scan next person, they didn't remove cannula so i wandered around to find another staff member to do that who happily obliged. Not a major problem but not up to Cleveland usual standards. Staff were all very friendly though, but perhaps clinic shouldn't book in patients at end of day if they can't really handle them properly.

Cleveland Clinic London

Anaesthetics, Cardiology, + 10 more

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

Lanserhof at the Arts Club - Medical

Acupuncture, Cardiology, + 14 more

I had booked a vitamin infusion. The whole experience was a desaster. The nurses used several needles but were not able to “find a good Vene” as they called it. They said my venes are the problem which is ridiculous as I had been to your place to get infusions multiple times and there never was a problem. As a result, I now have three large bruises and my arms hurt. I left without getting the infusion. The ladies did not even apologize. In my view, they should get proper training both when it comes to doing injections and servicing clients. I will not return.

Extremely happy with the service, care and everyone's attentiveness at the Cleveland Clinic. My initial consultation was with Dr Chetan Bhan. He was patient, friendly and made an effort to understand the symptoms I have been experiencing for some time. He quickly assigned my case to Dr Mark Samaan and appointments allocated swiftly too. I came away feeling reassured by that the Cleveland Clinic would be able to help. Also, the clinic is well kept, clean and comfortable. That is a massive plus too!

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

All the staff I came into contact with today were very kind. At each stage I had an explanation of what would happen next, and they checked in I was ok. Every colleague that spoke to me asked if I had any questions. There was only a few minutes between each stage and the clinic is really comfortable and clean. Everyone was friendly and professional and I had complete confidence at every stage that I would get accurate results. A big thank you to everyone today.

Professor John Timperley

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have recently had my right hip replaced with Mr Timperley carrying out the procedure using the Spare technique. The service and Care I received from him has been second and none. I was very apprehensive about having any procedure done, but he reassured me and gave me all the facts.I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon and one that I felt I could trust. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Timperley to anybody reading this review.

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

My GP sent referral for RTN in January 2025. According to their announcement on the ADHD website, the waiting time was 8-9 weeks. Unfortunately, I was waiting couple of months. My assessment was done in October and on my outcome appointment, which was a year after, the 3rd doctor was involved a d decided to do one more assessment. Without prior arrangement or agreement. Poor customer service, dishonest administration.

Spire Leeds Hospital

Tues the 20th Jan was my first appointment 6 weeks after my robotic assisted total knee replacement. MR Veysi showed kindness and respect, to me and my Husband, during my appointment. Reassuring me about my expected recovery. And if needed I could see him again if I had any further concerns. But he was very happy with my progress, which would continue to improve.

Mr Chidi Ekwobi

Plastic Surgeon

If you go into Mr Ekwobi’s office feeling low, I tell you, you will come out smiling!!!! Wonderful man with a great sense of humour. Patient, listens and understands how the patient feels. He treated me with the utmost respect. Also Rebecca his nurse is a truly wonderful person. I’m so pleased with Mr Ekwobi that I have been recommending him: Thank you so much

Mr James Bedford

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Bedford was absolutely first rate, brilliant bedside manner, engendered confidence and trust, very easy to talk with, and technical superb. It could not have gone better and I would recommend Mr Bedford to anyone. He is amongst the best consultants we have had the fortune of receiving care from and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Dr Kirsten Mackay

Rheumatologist

I highly recommend Dr Kirsten Mackay. She is perceptive, insightful, approachable and extremely helpful. It was a great relief to have an explanation of the symptoms I was experiencing, and a positive plan to move forward. I felt that I was in very safe and experienced hands and will definitely be continuing under her care.

Dr. Alice Thomas

General Practitioner

Met Dr Alice who immediately felt 'and relax'! Instant reassuring and lovely energy. Thoroughly talked through blood results. No rushing. We had time and I felt more me walking out of the practice than I had for weeks for speaking to someone who listened and clearly understands what we all go through with our hormones.
