Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Having met several obstetricians in our hunt for the right DR we immediately fell for and felt connect too Dr Shalini. She quickly put us at ease of our fears and understood what worried us in relation to the birthing process, reassuring us with comfort and competence. Dr Shalini did not let us down post our first meeting, always being available (at all hours) and showed unreserved dedication to making sure we were catered for in every way we needed, and that we were her priority. In the end the birth was not going as originally planned, Dr Shalini handled the situation calmly and kept us informed yet not scared. All was explained, we were involved the whole way, all the way through the eventual C-section, this was after Dr Shalini had gone over and beyond to try and keep our wishes of a natural birth. The C-section was unavoidable for both me and our baby, and was done so well that I was up and walking the same day and have not had any complications since. Everyone who has since seen my scar has paid it compliments (and I normally scar badly), and after 19 days the scar is a distant line. We are wanting to plan more babies and would not consider another but Dr Shalini to be with us all the way. She calmed me, looked after me and reassured me, never leaving me/us feeling alone. Through the whole birth Dr Shalini maintained eye contact and connection with me, I felt constantly looked after. I feel we have parted as more than friends. THANK YOU DR SHALINI

I attended for spinal MRI. Unfortunately the technician was running late for which I was happy to wait but because of timing his communication to me was very poor. I was shown a room to change and left there without any guidance, I was then taken to the MRI machine and not spoken to really to ask if I was okay or to provide any reassurance. I don’t like MRI scans because can feel anxious within the machine. All it takes is a little bit of reassurance and acknowledgement for which I had none. Throughout the test the technician did not speak to me at all to ask if I was okay. I am not sure if this is normal but I found during the MRI it became quite hot which I have not experienced before. When the test was over he hurried me away from the machine without acknowledging my back could be hurting when getting up, which it was a little. He didn’t show me to the door so I had to ask if I was allowed to go and then left the room to change and go home. My review would be it is the smallest common curtesies that makes all the difference to a patient and this time I did not experience this at all. So much so I won’t be choosing to go to this venue for another investigation

Mr Henry Atkinson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am a very active 51 year old man and Mr Atkinson fixed my medial meniscus tear which had been obstructing movement in my leg. After 8 weeks I am back swimming, practicing Yoga 5 times a week (all poses including deep squats and child pose) and I also started kick boxing again. I will be training jiu jitsu again in a week's time. I also climbed the stairs at Highgate tube station this week - all 100 of them - without any pain or locking. I had a very good experience with Mr Atkinson. From initial to final consultation I was very happy with the care given to me. In fact my girlfriend who is also a doctor was very impressed by Mr Atkinson's knowledge on a variety of questions she asked. He was very accommodating of her as well allowing her to talk to him on the phone and with me in my final consultation. I want to thank Mr Atkinson for putting me forward for this care, without this I would be struggling with my physical activities and now I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much.

Mr Janos Patko

Orthopaedic Surgeon

GENERALLY ALL OK. NOT HAPPY THAT WAS NOT WOKEN UP TO GET MY HOT BREAKFAST SO HAD IT COLD. NURSE DID NOT WRAP THE ICE CUBES PROPERLY SO BED WAS WET. NO ONE AROUND TO TAKE ME TO ENTRANCE WHEN CHECKING OUT. FEMALE PHYSIO AFTER SECOND OP WAS A BIT OFF HAND AND NOT AS HELPFUL AS THE MAN ON THE FIRST KNEE OP. ON FIRST OP HAD TO BE IN AT 7-8 a m. BUT DID NOT HAVE THE OPERATION TILL 3.30 p.m. IN AFTERNOON NO REASON. ONE OR TWO RECEPTIONISTS KEPT ASKING IF MY TREATMENT WAS FREE WHICH I DID NOT LIKE AS THE NHS WAS PAYING. SAME QUESTION NOT ASKED OF INSURANCE PAYERS, WHEN INSURANCE CO. PAYING. NURSE WHO TOOK PINS OUT ON SECOND KNEE OP MADE THE EXPERIENCE VERY PAINFUL AND DID NOT HAVE AN EXCUSE IT WAS AS IF IT WAS MY FAULT FOR FEELING SUCH PAIN. IT WAS NOT THE SAME WITH FIRST OP AT ALL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE GLUE KEEPING THEM IN SO HARD TO TAKE OUT, THEN ANOTHER NURSE SAYS IT WAS NOT. VERY CONTRADICTORY. MISS ANDREA A.

Professor Dariush Nikkhah

Plastic Surgeon

Words can’t fully express the gratitude I feel for Dr. Dariush Nikkhah. From the very beginning, he was not only exceptionally professional but also deeply caring and empathetic. My breast reconstruction was truly ideal — the results exceeded anything I could have hoped for, and my recovery was surprisingly quick and smooth. What touched me most was how he cared for me from the moment of the operation and continued to support me throughout the entire healing process. I never felt alone. His compassion, attention, and dedication brought back a sense of harmony and happiness in my life that I thought I had lost. I will be eternally grateful for everything he has done for me.

Mr Nikhil Nanavati

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Nanavati was outstanding from the very first time of meeting him. He explained everything in great detail which was very easy to understand any questions I had were answered which made me feel at ease. The surgery was done and I was home the same day, the experience was just brilliant and I have no worries or concerns about having my other foot done by Mr Nanavati. The wounds healed up and the scars left are very minimal a very neat and tidy well done job. I cannot praise this Consultant enough he is just the best. Thank you again Sarah H.

Meadows & Wood Hearing Care - Worle

Audiology, Diagnostics & Testing

Seeing my husbands, gashed and bruised face after a fall, when he lost balance, the lady there saw him immediately, help me persuade him to attend A and E, which he previously refused!! Took wonderful care of him, and gave us the most generous discount, because she felt he had been traumatised enough! We will certainly recommend your service. Also for people with less than perfect balance, it was so good to have a ground floor service. Thank you so much for such wonderful care, the lady there went above and beyond for us.

We received exceptional care during our recent visit to Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital. Dr. Shah, the knee specialist, was fantastic. We appreciated his expertise, knowledge, and prompt service. Furthermore, the entire hospital staff was amazing. I want to extend special thanks to Rosihin, who made a significant difference in my teenage daughter's experience during her first MRI scan. Rosihin's efforts truly helped put my daughter at ease. We highly recommend the care provided at your facility.

Mr Navjot Bhangoo

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I wanted to express my thanks for the fantastic care you provided throughout my knee operation journey. From the initial consultations, where you clearly explained what to expect, through to surgery itself, and all the way to the aftercare and final sign-off you were friendly, supportive and informative. Your approach made me feel confident and at ease every stage. I'm pleased to have been able to return to football and I thank you for your outstanding care.

Dr Zinu Philipose

Gastroenterologist

Came in complaining of bloateness and abdominal distension. I was given thorough examination and a wide range of tests. Things were picked up that had never been picked up before eg lactose intolerance. I believe that without the quality care of Dr Philipose I may still be suffering now. I feel so much better having made the life change I was advised to make. I healthier and fitter than ever before. Great doctor ! Highly recommended.

OSD Healthcare

My experience once in the practice was very good. Staff friendly and professional. What I found very stressful beforehand was locating the property. The letter that I received from the NHS gave an address of One Medical House which I could not find on any signage. I drove around for 10 mins and was then worried that I would miss my appointment. The letter should be updated to state OSD Healthcare.

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

A quick and efficient service; from point of referral to second cataract operation was a total of 8 weeks. At the pre op assessment, Staff explained the procedure clearly and on the days of the operations I was informed of all different elements of the operation. The operations were pain free with minimal discomfort for a couple of days afterwards.

Thank you to Cintia Sartini (Hygienist) and Dorota (Practice Manager). I also want to give a very special thank-you to Rania. From the very first moment I walked into the clinic, she made me feel cared for and truly welcomed. Her kindness, warmth, and professionalism have meant so much to me. I’m genuinely very happy and grateful for everything.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

I struggled to get an appointment at my doctor’s surgery, but I was able to get an appointment with Dr Colvin at the Candover Clinic the next day. I was very happy with the service I received. Dr Colvin took time to listen to my concerns and I didn’t feel at all rushed. She has prescribed some medication, which will hopefully help.

The team who looked after me throughout my appointments at the Spire were exceptional, including the reception team Today’s visit was only marred by the lack of car parking spaces and careless parking by individuals which made navigating the car park dangerous and almost impossible due to the random positioning of Cars.
