Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

All seemed to be going well and at the close of my appointment the consultant asked me to have a blood test done outwith the Cathedral Also he advised that I should make an appointment for the operating procedure downstairs at reception. Circa end of April When I went to the desk I was advised that the member of staff was off that pm and I would receive a call tomorrow Next day I contacted my surgery about the blood sample and test. Late on my surgery called back to advise they were not willing to arrange the test as they were not treating me I received no call from Cathedrai that day The next day I waited to on and called Cathedral Spoke to Clare a few times and essence of conversation was that all was on hold as consultant on holiday and not available till 17th February Also no progress can be made with blood sample and rest even although I asked them to read my consultation notes !!! So I could comment more however this is the essence of a mot disappointing situation after my consultation

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

Considering i am a private patient very Dissapointed. 1. I was contacted after making the initial appointment asking where i had my MRI scans. I gave the lady all details only to be contacted again the next day stating they could'nt locate them. I then gave them more comprehensive details and was assured if any issues i would be contacted. I attended the practice for the consultation on 27/11/25 only to be told by Mr. Bacon we could not proceed as he did not have my scans. I proceeded to to ask for the pre med tests during which an anneasatist was very rude to me because unfortunatly i have a needle phobea. 2. Prior to the operation i rang to ask that during the operation day is there somewhere for my partner[ ie. in the ward room etc] and informed yes. She was informed on arrival at 6.30am with me that she was not allowed on the ward until 6pm . We had travelled 80miles to the hospital that day. If we had been informed prior too alternatve arrangements could have been made for her.

Mr James Smith

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot praise the team at Chaucer Hospital highly enough following my recent right knee surgery. From the very start, the administrative staff made the admission process seamless and stress-free. My surgeon and anaesthetist were world-class, providing not only technical excellence but also the reassurance I needed heading into the procedure. Once on the ward, the care was exemplary; the ward doctors and nurses were attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. I must also give a special mention to the kitchen staff, as the foods were excellent—the quality and variety of the meals far exceeded my expectations for hospital dining. It was a truly holistic care experience where every department worked in perfect harmony, and I felt valued and well-cared for every step of the way.

Mr Hemanshoo Thakkar

Paediatric Surgeon, Paediatrician

I visited the Evelina with my 15yr old daughter for an operation for her abdominal/umbilical hernia. Dr Thakkar gave us a brilliant explanation as to what he was going to do during the surgery and also spoke to us after and told us exactly what he did. He really helped out my daughters mind at ease, and really understood that she just wanted to be 'normal'. His work was outstanding and now that my daughter has healed from the operation her self confidence has already improved and I cannot thank Dr Thakkar enough for that.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Plymouth

General Surgery, Imaging (Scans), + 2 more

The consultant was very reassuring throughout. The teams, medical and physio, came across as calm, competent and professional. The nurses and reception staff at the hospital were friendly, calm and professional not just to me, the patient, but to my wife as well. Recovery after the procedure was less daunting than I feared it would be, the pain experienced was less than I feared it might be, and the rehab process has been every bit as easy as I was told it might be. So, thank you to everybody concerned.

Butterfield Osteopathy

Osteopathy, Paediatrics

I've been going to Butterfield Osteopathy for several years and I've always been very grateful for their help and support. The clinic is lovely and all the osteopaths I’ve consulted with have been amazing. Bella Eacott is great for general osteopathy, Emma Delalex has helped me with craniosacral therapy and Gervais Roubeix has managed to release loads of muscular tensions with dry needling and general osteopathy. I highly recommend Butterfield Osteopathy.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

I visited the clinic to discuss removal of a lesion on my eyelid. Having spoken to the consultant Mt Murray I decided to have it removed. I returned two weeks later to have the surgery. All the staff were very supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure to me. In particular Jenny took great care of me and made sure I felt as relaxed as I could be. Everything went to plan and I would like to thank everybody that was involved.

La Belle Forme

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

From general enquiry to consultation, procedures and aftercare my experience has been absolutely superb. My procedure was a big step for me and I was supported all the way. My friends are very impressed with the results even after one week. This is honestly the first time I have put myself and I am delighted I did. This was not vanity but a step to look the age I feel.

Mr Hrsikesa (Rishi) Sharma

Plastic Surgeon

I have thought about this procedure on and off for the last 10 years and finally plucked up to courage to have an initial appointment, Right from start I felt so at ease with Dr Sharma He has been brilliant. I 100% recommend Dr Sharma & his team.

Gynae Expert

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I would really recommend the Amara clinic. Miss Henderson was really understanding and very thorough as we discussed all the problems that I was experiencing. It was so refreshing to have the time to talk and not to feel rushed and feel that I was being listened to. Such a different experience from feeling like you’re being dismissed at the GP surgery.

Private care at the Western Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

. It’s not clear where the private department is (or any other) as no reception desk at hospital entrance (only a security man on other duties). When in 2nd floor private area do not expect trappings of luxury or flashy equipment. You do get kindness, attentiveness and skill and efficiency. Came out with problem fixed. No cafe.

Mr Gary Atkin

General Surgeon

I recently had a procedure and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. From my very first consultation to the procedure itself, I felt incredibly well looked after. The team ensured I was fully informed at every stage, which made the whole process reassuring and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend them more highly

Ms Ciara McGoldrick

Ms McGoldrick is a brilliant Consultant Surgeon. She immediately understood my concerns and gave me a detailed plan of what could be achieved. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who required breast surgery. I am delighted with the results of my procedure. Thank you Ms McGoldrick and team. xx

Mr Derek John Boyle

General Surgeon

Mr Boyle has now operated on me 3 times over 7 years and has always given me exemplary service. Not being awake at the time 😂 means I can only judge the results after the event but in that regard I cannot fault the outcomes especially considering the difficulties and complexities with my colorectal problems.

Mr Ijaz Ahmad

ENT Surgeon

I have been a thyroid cancer patient of Mr Ahmad for over 15 years. He is very professional, friendly and reassuring which is what you need, especially when facing a cancer diagnosis. I cannot recommend him enough and anyone being lucky enough to be referred to him would be very fortunate indeed.
