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.

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

I arrived at 13.20 for my appointment with the nurse and informed the receptionist that I had three appointments 1) nurse 2) Mr Consigliere 3 ) physiotherapist. She informed me that she would note my presence for the first two but that I needed to tell physiotherapist separately. I saw the nurse on time and informed the receptionist I was now ready for my 2pm appointment with mr Consigliere. At 2.15 I asked receptionist if Mr Consigliere was running late ? Also that I was surprised he had not asked me to have an X-ray. At this point the receptionist informed me that my 2pm appointment with mr Consigliere had been cancelled. I asked by whom. At this point there was obviously some confusion and I was asked to sit down whilst they investigated. Some minutes later I was told “something “ had gone wrong but Mr Consigliere had asked me to have an X-ray and he would see me after my physiotherapist appointment. When I saw Mr Consigliere at around 3.45pm he informed me that my bone was not attached to the metal plate in my elbow. The ligaments and muscles were keeping it in place. Mr Consigliere wished to see what would happen over the next few weeks before making a decision.

Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

Mr Oisin Keenan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

When I read Mr. Keenan’s profile as I was trying to choose a surgeon to replace my arthritic hip, I felt that he was someone who would communicate as well as someone with excellent knowledge and skills to perform my needed operation, and that was confirmed upon meeting him at the initial consultation. He also displayed a quiet confidence and was very approachable at all times, which put me at ease. I was naturally very anxious about having this operation, but I completely trusted in his ability to do an excellent job. He visited me in my room before the operation, and also every day thereafter during my stay, allowing me opportunities to ask any questions that had arisen in my mind, as well as reassuring me of my progress. At the follow-up appointment he likewise reassured me about the success of the operation as well as the condition of my other joints, which had also been x-rayed prior to the procedure. I am very happy with Mr. Keenan in all aspects of this experience.

When undertaking base line assessment prior to the procedure, this was conducted in the reception area. During this taking place, 3 other people arrived and seated themselves in the reception area. We were unclear if they were members of the public, staff or other appointments. They were not introduced to us as observers for my treatment. The introduction didn't occur until Prof Zveorov arrived, then introductions were made and my family was made aware they were from other institutions to learn and observe. The support and treatment were excellent.

Professor Dorota Dworakowska

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

My experience with Prof Dorota was excellent and very pleasant. She is such a wonderful doctor and on my first consultation she addressed not only my medical condition but she also asked me about my nutrition, sleep, sport and my day to day job. She is one of the few doctors that she has a holistic approach and listen to her patients. In my opinion she is a gem in Endocrinology and recommended her to a friend recently. Love Prof Dorota and thank you so much for all the advice you gave me as a doctor but also as a woman to woman.

Meliora Medical Group

Physiotherapy, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I recently visited Meliora Medical Facilities and was genuinely impressed. From the very first moment, I was welcomed by friendly, professional staff and a clean, well-organized environment. The level of expertise and experience they bring, combined with the care and respect they show to their patients, is truly top class. It is five-star service in every sense. I would highly recommend them, and this will definitely be my one and only medical group for any future rehabilitation or treatment.

Mr Parmjit Sian

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sian explained the procedure to my satisfaction. Before the operation it was a neck operation to relieve pressure on my upper limbs. It was performed on 24 September 2025 and I recovered quickly. I am at a point of having another operation on my lower back and have total confidence that it will proceed successfully. Stepping Hill ward staff looked after me both before/during/after my procedure. I have praise for their commitment.

After failing to get an appointment with my GP, my Daughter made an appointment for me at WLC , within a couple of hours of phoning I was seen by the lovely Dr. York. She identified me having a chest infection, and reduced power in my lungs . Collected prescription from chemist. At 82 , I think I would have ended up in hospital had it not seen this Doctor. Amazing service Now a day later feeling much better. 😎

Dr. Paul Hamilton

I had plenty of the time with Dr Hamilton, who spent a lot of time listening to my symptoms and helped me navigate some difficult issues. He was very sympathetic, knowledgeable, professional and proactive in suggesting solutions (medical and otherwise). Highly recommended, will definitely go again.

Dr Deven Vani

Dr Vani was amazing. This was my initial consultation for an upcoming procedure. I feel really informed and at ease about the whole thing. It's rare to like a Dr as fast as I did today. We laughed, he listened and I felt heard.
