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!

The Catalyst Clinic

Chemical Pathology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 1 more

I can’t recommend The Catalyst Clinic highly enough. From the very first consultation, it was clear that this is a clinic operating at an entirely different level. Dr Ethan has an exceptional bedside manner — calm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. He takes the time to listen properly, asks the right questions, and explains complex medical concepts in a way that feels reassuring rather than overwhelming. You never feel rushed, dismissed, or spoken down to. There’s a real sense that he is tailoring care to you as an individual, not following a generic template. What stood out most was the balance between deep scientific knowledge and humanity. Dr Ethan is clearly extremely knowledgeable, but he delivers that expertise with warmth, patience, and respect. It builds immediate trust. The clinic itself feels professional, discreet, and well run, with a strong emphasis on safety, evidence-based care, and long-term health rather than quick fixes. If you’re looking for a clinician who combines cutting-edge medicine with genuine care and excellent communication, The Catalyst Clinic is outstanding.

Freedom Vision - Hull

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I normally don’t write reviews, I’m someone who feels that if you do your job well, there is no need. However I have just been been signed off for my second eye cataract surgery and would like to thank all those involved in bringing this about. It was a long haul as my second eye was so bad after an accident back in my teens that a lens had to be made specially to correct my vision. It took about six weeks to make, but I was kept informed of progress regularly. I have nothing but praise for the people who saw me throughout. From the security guys, reception and medical team, to the optometrists, the surgeon and of course Hannah. As my point of contact, Hannah was there to answer my questions and kept me up to date with progress. Once again thanks one and all. In the nicest possible way, I hope I don’t see you again for a long, long time.

Mr Ahmed Ibrahim

Neurosurgeon

My most recent visit was a post-surgery appointment. The purpose was to assess my progress and to provide advice and , in my case, a lot of reassurance that I will make a full recovery. Everything went well. Mr. Ibrahim was very factual and reassuring. I left the appointment feeling less stressed, confident that I will return to my being very active. My overall experience under Mr.Ibrahim's care has been positively memorable. He is very professional, calm, friendly and knowledgable. His support team is excellent! Amira was my contact. She was friendly, professional and pretty much perfect. She moved heaven and earth to ensure everything was in place pre and post - surgery. Dealing with Mr. Ibrahim and Amira has been an absolute pleasure.

Mr Andrew Port

Orthopaedic Surgeon

A robotically assisted total knee replacement, including patella, various challenges. Mr. Port replaced a hip for me 9 years ago, with superb results, and has done procedures for a couple of friends, so there really was no other choice. Three previous large surgeries on the same knee and a failed carbon fiber gave Mr Port a proper mess to deal with. My recovery has been almost miraculous, and 8 weeks post op I am pain-free, with a straight knee and super flexion, and the neatest scar. I honestly don't have the words to describe my appreciation for the skills of this surgeon. Honestly, couldn't recommend him highly enough

Avenues

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

I have used Avenues for a cycle of IVF/ICSi, a hysteroscopy and then FET. I was under the care of De Ali Al Chami and became pregnant with the first transfer, having 3 failed attempts elsewhere. Dr Al Chami changed my protocol (both stimulation and transfer protocol). This places is miles apart because it guarantees continuity of care and patients are treated as people. dr Ali is a wonderful person and he cares about his patients. The midwives (Marina Christina Katie Fiona Emily Starvula) are all amazing and know each patient by name and treated me with warmth, dignity, compassion and professionalism.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

This was my 2 nd cataract op with Mr Kamran Khan at Newmedica Leeds. I was very happy with my treatment with everyone especially Wr Kamran Khan who I can’t recommend enough, he was friendly, assuring and also the lovely nurse who looked after me after my op. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was so caring. Anyone going for a cararact op this place is brilliant and everyone I came in contact with both times I was there I feel I couldn’t have had better. Someone calls you the following day to check that you are okay so everything perfect. Thank you all.

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.

Dr Karen Guerrero

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Guerrero has all the qualities (and more) that one could hope for in a doctor. She’s kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and exceptionally professional. She goes out of her way to explain things clearly and to reassure you. She is also very approachable and immediately puts you at ease. I trust her 100% and feel immensely grateful that she was able to perform what was quite major surgery on me. I genuinely don’t think I would have gone through with it, if it hadn’t been her.

Bristol Menopause Clinic

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Sexual & Reproductive Health

Consultation with Dr Alice Thomas. Parking was easy Welcomed by lovely receptionist who immediately offered me a tea 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.

Mr Robert Gleeson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to see Mr Gleeson as a second opinion after sustaining a ACL rupture and lateral meniscus tear. Mr Gleeson clearly explained my options and the pros/cons of each ensuring I was fully informed. I opted for a surgery which went smoothly and I was in minimal pain during my recovery. I am now 6 months post op and back doing 90% of my previous sporting activities, with a good prognosis for getting back to 100%.

Ruislip Ear Care

Audiology, Ear Care

I recently had a hearing appointment, and it went really well. Dr. Akash was professional and attentive throughout the visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect, which made me feel comfortable and confident. His clear explanations and friendly approach made the experience smooth and reassuring. I truly appreciated the care and expertise he showed during the appointment.

Mr Shailesh Agrawal

ENT Surgeon

Recent visit addressed salivary gland stones, which have since resolved and passed on their own with advice from Mr Agrawal. Dr Agrawal was fantastic - knowledge, kind and reassuring. His advice was incredibly helpful in resolving this issue, and he was lovely throughout all appointments. I couldn't have asked for more!

Mr Jacek Adamek

General Surgeon

The booking of the visit was simple and unproblematic. Moreover, I got lost on the way to the clinic, and Dr Adamek waited for me (even though I was 10-15 mins late). The welcome on reception was warm and friendly and Dr Adamek was charming. He explained what needed to be done clearly and answered all my questions.
