Mr Lalin Navaratne

General Surgeon

I made an appointment with Mr Navaratne at his Lindo Wing clinic in St Mary's hospital Paddington. I was looking for  a medical 'answer' to the pain I was in. I underwent a scan in an NHS hospital and was told that a hernia was ruled out which I accepted, but was very confused. Mr Navaratne diagnosed my Umbilical hernia and Diastasis recti. I cannot speak highly enough of the care I received from this appointment all the way through treatment and my Lindo wing stay. I underwent a laparoscopic repair of the umbilical hernia with correction of my diastasis recti. I was in  exceptionally skilled and compassionate professional. I was extremely anxious in my first consultation and also going into surgery, but my surgeon addressed this with remarkable patience, reassurance, and empathy. He took an interest in why I was feeling nervous and took the time to explain every detail thoroughly, answered all my questions with clarity and confidence, and made sure I felt genuinely heard and supported. His calm, reassuring presence made a massive  difference and immediately put me at ease. From a medical standpoint, his expertise is outstanding. The procedure was performed with the highest level of precision and care, demonstrating deep knowledge, advanced technical skill, and meticulous attention to detail. My recovery has been highly supported by Mr Navaratne and his team. He is truly amazing BUT  for me what sets him is the combination of exceptional surgical ability and genuine human kindness. It is rare to find a surgeon who is not only technically brilliant but also so attentive, respectful, and compassionate toward their patients. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering abdominal surgery. If you are looking for a surgeon who is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and truly cares about your wellbeing, you could not be in better hands.

Mr David Griffiths

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was referred to Mr David Griffiths by friends in the UK that have previously been in his care or worked with him, I am currently in the USA. After looking at his bio, I was so impressed with what he has achieved and the work that he does I arranged to have a consultation via zoom. From the outset I felt his warmth and compassion, I immediately knew I was in very good hands. Mr Griffiths fully explained what I needed firsthand and then going forward with surgery, if that was what I decided to do. He welcomed any further questions or concerns I had afterwards by email which were always followed up immediately. I did go ahead with the surgery to have a permanent fix to my issue of which I am so thankful for. Mr Griffiths did an outstanding job, and I would have no hesitation at all recommending him.

The Forbury Clinic (Berkshire Health Ltd)

Chiropractic, General (Internal) Medicine, + 5 more

The staff were incredibly helpful, understanding and supportive. I explained my concern and was given an urgent appointment. Vanessa S is the perfect person for her role and puts people at ease immediately. She secured me a hearing test and a consultation appointment on the same day. She also helped me with some of the administrative elements of using my private healthcare as the process has changed since I last used it. Very helpful, friendly, professional and reassuring. I was greeted on arrival, immediately shown to the waiting area and taken straight through to my first appointment, even though I was a few minutes early. Cannot fault the service I received and the care and professionalism was consistent throughout.

I have had multiple appointments and a procedure with kingsbridge, the administration staff are honestly the worst i have came across. From not being able to get through to messed up appointments it is shocking for what you charge in a private hospital. The reception staff at ballykelly are also horrendous. When visiting the hospital i was standing at the reception desk for 10 minutes before i was attended to whilst the receptionists were cursing and slagging off other staff and patients. I would really hope this feedback is taken seriously because I myself will not be back in kingsbridge as a patient due to the outcome of all of this!

Spire Bristol Hospital

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.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

On Saturday, I attended Canterbury Hospital at 7:30 am for a minor operation on my finger. Two nurses looked after me and prepared me beforehand. Emma went out of her way to help. I had a very good discussion with the test and we decided that general anaesthetic would be the best route. Mr. Smith carried out the operation and I was lucky to see him afterwards when I came round and he said it had been completely successful. Everything seemed very calm, organised and professional. Many thanks for my treatment.

I can’t thank The Salisbury Practice, and in particular Dr Steve Holmes, for the excellent support and help towards managing my chronic pain. The care and kindness shown towards me was amazing and I have greatly benefited from seeing Dr Steve. The Practice is a calm and reassuring place where I was always welcomed with warmth and compassion. I would highly recommend The Salisbury Practice.

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Fertility Medicine, Paediatrics, + 1 more

We went in for a day surgery with my child and were very looked after by Stuart and the team. Emily the play therapist did an excellent job explaining the steps of the procedure, making my child feel well-informed. Both our consultants Mr Johal and Dr Miskovic were very knowledgeable and approachable and made my child feel well-informed and as calm and prepared as possible.

Miss Natalie Brookes

ENT Surgeon

The respect with which the rest of the team talked about her was an early indicator and certainly matched by the experience of the consultation - very evidently an expert concerned fully about her patients and keen to tap into the maximum of information for diagnosis as well as share as many insights as possible in the session itself.

Dr David is very professional and extremely knowledgeable on testosterone and men’s health. He offers a personal service face to face service which suits me. I’m so glad I have started treatment with him. I feel safe, well looked after and so much better physically and mentally! Also much cheaper than using the big online companies.

Dr Kamlesh Mohan

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Mohan was very helpful. I was due to go to the Royal for a chest xray the next day but he arranged for me to have one that day and we were able to see him again whilst he looked at the xray. He always explains our options and takes our preferences into account. My wife is impressed that he always treats us as the team that we are.

The Westminster Maternity Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

I thoroughly enjoyed staying in The Westminster Maternity Suite twice, after delivering my babies. The care, cleanliness, privacy, personal space and food are fantastic. I had really enjoyed staying there for the recovery after giving birth. The views of Big Ben both times were an amazing bonus for the night feeds of my newborn.

Mr Kostas Tsitskaris

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Kostas made me feel assured and confident about the surgery . He explained everything thoroughly and my hip replacement surgery was performed impeccably. I’m now over 6 weeks post surgery and everything is going to plan. The whole experience was made easier by his friendly but professional manner. I recommend him highly.

Mr Ali Al-Lami

ENT Surgeon

Mr Al-lami gave me a thorough check and performed a nasal endoscopy. It was very reassuring to find out that there were no serious issues to deal with. I will follow his recommendations to the letter. Thank you for a very friendly and professional visit to KIMS and the highly professional way in which I was treated.

Professor Tony Kochhar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Consulted Professor Kochhar for suspected fracture of my finger. He immediately arranged for a further x-ray and ultrasound. He assured me that, with physio, that I would likely regain full movement and mobility of my finger. He is extremely professional and I felt assured and confident of his diagnosis and guidance.

Dr Kurt Ayerst

Dermatologist

Doctor Ayerst was kind and friendly in receiving me into his office. He was clear and very informative in his explanation of my condition and reassuring with his advice as to how to deal with the concern should it return in the future. I was relieved and confident with his advice. Thank you.
