Newmedica Brigg

Ophthalmology

There was a lot of waiting for drops to take effect as part of the treatment but the fact that everytime one of the staff passed they acknowledged you so you didn't feel you had been forgotten, a big plus in my book. There were many times when my DOB and name were checked. This made me feel secure as I think it made me feel that any mix up was very unlikely, another plus in my book. During the set up for the operation I was asked to look into the very bright light. Not a problem for the eye being operated on but keeping my other eye open as requested was difficult for me. Perhaps some form of shading for the other eye could be provided so that the natural instinct to close that eye could be eliminated and thus the natural effect of doing that affecting the eye being operated on. During the operation the surgeon needed to speak to me at times. I am hard of hearing and didn't have my hearing aids in. At times it was hard to hear the surgeon. The issue was worse when the "pump" noise was going. Some of this was the fact that she was a lady with a higher pitch voice, whereas I could easily hear the male voice in the room. I have the same issue hearing my wife for the same reason (I claim!). Perhaps it would be good if the surgeon established if there is a hearing problem and if there is, the voice volume could be raised. I realise that this is my problem but I cannot be unique in this case given the age profile of you patients. This visit was my second eye so I knew what was happening. However, thinking back to my first visit perhaps a slightly better introduction could be given to new patients as to what to expect with the intervals between patient staff interactions to help limit any anxiety they may feel. Also a bit more information regarding the after effects of the operation could help and anxiety at that time. I realise you will wince at this but I found a YouTube video of american origin that went through the after effects step by step and this relieved me as I realised what was happening to me was normal. Overall I was very pleased with the atitude of all the staff I met and the service they provided. Thank you very much.

Dr Dinkar Bakshi

Paediatrician, Consultant Allergist

After a year long struggle and running back and forth to the GP and hospitals and trying various alternative therapies I followed a good friends advice on visiting Dr Bakshi and it was the best decision and suggestion ever. He was so knowledgeable, sympathetic, understanding and more over he knew exactly what the problem was. He said my son would be fine in a few days and he lived up to his promise and my sons skin has recovered within days after a year long struggle. Not only does he help sort the problem he advises in the best way… he didn’t advise expensive options even sent a clinic letter same day for GP purposes and was mindful of the struggles. He is worth every penny and he’s not out to charge excessively he’s very generous and accommodating financially. I would really recommend others use him he had all the answers and also a contact number details of his office Rahul in particular was extremely effortless in helping even answering calls or messages out of hours. So glad to have stumbled across this clinic.

Urban TRT

Endocrinology & Diabetes

I started TRT last July at a point when I was struggling significantly with fatigue, anxiety, and poor sleep. Since beginning treatment, all of those areas have improved dramatically, and the difference in my overall wellbeing has been genuinely life changing. A large part of that is down to Chris and the environment he has created at Urban TRT. Throughout the process he has monitored my progress closely, explaining results clearly and adjusting treatment thoughtfully where needed. What really sets Urban TRT apart, however, is how personable and approachable Chris and the team are. I have always felt informed, listened to, and confident that my health was being managed properly rather than simply being treated by numbers alone. I genuinely would not hesitate to recommend Urban TRT to anyone considering TRT or looking for a clinician who takes a genuinely holistic and professional approach to patient care.

Ms Shirin Khanjani

Shirin provided us with superb care, treating us as patients as well as people. We arrived into her care amid extremely difficult circumstances. Shirin listened patiently, never rushing us, and soon set about a clear course of action, using her skills and knowledge to the fullest degree to attune the care to our specific needs. She carefully monitored our progress, never making us feel we were irritating her or her team. Throughout this complex treatment, she was always there, tweaking and augmenting her regimen to maximise the chances of success. We could not possibly rate her highly enough. If you are lucky enough to get to see Shirin, you are in the best of hands.

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I have had various symptoms of perimenopause over the last year or so but it came to a head a few months ago when i had a severe panic attack and seemed to develop anxiety. I am finding this difficult to cope with and the GP didn't seem to help me. I met with Dr Colquhoun and she was lovely, provided me with alot of information and advice and took me and my symptoms seriously. As a result I now have a course of action and have had HRT prescribed and a coil fitted. Whilst this is all new to me, i am feeling very positive about this plan and hopeful that I can start to feel like myself again!

I'd laboured under my shoulder injury for 6 months, and Chris was able to achieve vast improvements in comfort and ability within weeks. Chris was impressively professional and meticulous, a pleasure to visit and I always felt willing to go the extra mile to explain the process to me and make detailed recommendations. This has really brought about a transformation in my quality of life, and I'm delighted to be back doing the things I love. Almost two months after first visiting the clinic, I am fully recovered- absolutely game-changing, could not recommend enough.

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.

Mr Sean Molloy

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a 2 level spinal fusion and decompression carried out in 2 stages to relieve my sciatica. Mr Molloy had been extremely thorough in his initial examination and identified a problem previously missed by another spinal surgeon. My operations have been a total success and I have no sciatica whatsoever. Mr Molloy was meticulous in organising and overseeing my recovery to ensure there were no complications. In my opinion he is a brilliant surgeon who looks beyond the operation in hand in order to mitigate problems that might otherwise occur at a later stage.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I am very happy with my first experience at the Practice today. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. It was so reassuring to be certain I was seeing an actual medically qualified person (uncertain in todays NHS) whose judgement therefore I felt I could trust. Dr Ridout was very understanding and approachable - an attentive listener, carried out an objective examination and was happy to discuss it together with why she was suggesting the proposed treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this Practice.

Mr Vivek Gulati

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Gulati during October initially for a consultation. This confirmed and was followed by a total hip replacement in December concluding with a final follow on consultation in January. Mr Gulati proved to be an excellent surgeon throughout my journey. He was clear on his advice, a consummate professional in all our meetings and a very positive, warm and engaging demeanor overall have made for as positive an outlook as I could hope for. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Gulati.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 18 more

All the staff at the Spire Hospital were helpful & nothing was too much trouble so that I felt listened to in terms of my needs & any fears I had. I felt reassured that I was in excellent hands when it came to pain relief particularly immediately post op & was encouraged to get out of bed as soon as I was able. The food was enjoyable & there was a good variety which certainly helped my recovery & my room was light & very clean.

Dr. Finbar McGrady

General Practitioner

I had a skin lesion that I was worried about, and booked into Dr Finbar's for a consultation. From my initial consultation where I was seen so quickly, to the procedure and testing, it was all under 4 weeks from start to finish. All of the staff are lovely, particularly the nurse Elaine who explained the aftercare in detail and really put my mind at ease. Would recommend the clinic and the staff.

Mr Thomas Finnigan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was looked after really well both in the recovery room as it took a while to get the pain relief sorted with a theatre nurse staying with me a long time after her duty time passed also after the anaesthetic I was very sick and the nurses looked after me even down to the catering staff ensuring I had meals when I couldn’t order them I would definitely advise people to go to this hospital.
