I am not writing this as a review. I am writing this because I genuinely want people to know who Dana Touqmachi is. Whether you already know Dana, have never met her, or are about to meet her, I want you to know that she is someone truly special. Dana saved my wife’s and our baby’s lives. I don't think there are words that could ever fully express what that means to me or how grateful I am to her. But beyond what she did for my family, what I want people to understand is the kind of person she is. She is genuinely kind, compassionate, dedicated, and deeply committed to her work and career. She puts her heart into what she does, and it shows in the way she treats people. For me, Dana will always be more than someone who did her job exceptionally well. She is someone who made a difference in my family's life in the most meaningful way possible. Some people come into your life and leave a lasting impression. Others change your life forever. Dana did the latter. I will always be grateful to her, and no words will ever be enough to express that. Hayder A. 3/11/2026 London

Mr Rhodri Codd

General Surgeon

My appointment was undertaken promptly as was my colonoscopy. I felt very anxious about the process, having recently undergone major surgery to remove cancer from my womb. Dr Codd listened to my concerns regarding the type of preparation I could tolerate in readiness for the procedure and offered Movi prep which was effective without making me sick. I also aired my concerns in relation to sedation and painkillers to enable me to lie on my side. My concerns were addressed and the procedure went well. I was provided with a discharge folder with the results of the endoscopy within a hour of recovery. I highly recommend Dr Codd's services and will not hesitate to contact him again in the future if the need arises. All the staff I had contact with by telephone or face to face were professional. courteous and happy to assist.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I had the need for an urgent diagnosis and operation. This was all completed within the same week. I was very pleased with Mr Muir's explanation of the three possible procedures. The discussion was full and completely frank - which I think is vital. I felt I had the space to ask any questions I like - no matter how sensitive. I really appreciated the personal messages of reassurance from Mr Muir in the period after the operation. I thought this was thoughtful and kind and very welcome. I would also like to mention the nursing staff who were excellent in helping me through this period. They checked up on me at least once a day. And finally, the Admin staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you to the whole team. I don't usually make recommendations, but in this case I am happy to offer my full possible endorsement.

Dr Mustafa Alnaib

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had pain in my left knee for approximately 8 months which was steadily getting worse to the extent that I felt I was getting to the time when I could no longer manage at home alone. I had been waiting on NHS list for physio for 4 months and still had not heard with regard to an appointment I was recommended to visit Charlie Plummer physiotherapist at Physiofit Kent who. referred me to DrAlnaib. I was seen the next day and after knee examination was advised regarding appropriate treatment . My knee was injected, at the visit, there was minimal discomfort and I was sent home with advice re exercise.and rest. 3 days later my knee pain was gone and I was left with only minimal discomfort after exercising. I would strongly recommend anyone with a joint problem to seek advice from the clinic promptly.

Ms Meg Das

Ophthalmologist

Dr Das was smiling at me as I entered her office and made me welcome immediately. She had my notes in front of her and explained my condition. She then advised me of the procedures I would have done, potential side effects effects and possible outcome. All the time she was reassuring me and listening to what I was saying. I felt supported by her. I told her I was so pleased to learn that I would be seeing her as my optometrist thought a lot of her and said I was in great hands if I had Dr Das with me on my journey. She sent a letter right away to my optometrist and my GP to keep them up to date. I think her manner and kindness helped me at that appointment as I was very worried about my condition. She lessened that worry. I hope to see her again somewere along my treatment path.

Dr Keith Duncan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

We travelled down a week prior to our scheduled C Section and felt very relaxed knowing that Dr Duncan was available should the baby decide to come early. We drove in on the morning of the operation and everything was incredibly calm, with all the staff really taking care of us. Dr Duncan visited us before we went through to the operating theatre and explained again what was going to happen. He made it sound very routine which was comforting to hear. The birth experience was wonderful, with the team in theatre very caring and the after care wonderful. The anaesthetist was fantastic as well, kept us all entertained and talked to me throughout the surgery which was so kind. The whole process was amazing and we are so thankful.

A beautiful, modern practice that manages to feel both professional and genuinely welcoming. Everything is immaculate, with a warm, calming and almost homely atmosphere. It’s clear that a great deal of thought has gone into creating a space where patients can feel comfortable and at ease. The attention to detail really stands out, and the environment feels a world away from the typical clinical setting. The availability of evening appointments is another huge positive, making healthcare much more accessible and convenient for those juggling work and other commitments. A lovely environment where even the smallest details feel carefully considered. A really positive experience from the moment you walk through the door.

Clarity Psychology Practice - City/Buckhurst Hill

Psychology

I began seeing Shireen after a late-in-life inattentive ADHD diagnosis. I had just started taking stimulants but really wanted to understand more about what I was experiencing, at a time when I was learning a lot about myself. Shireen’s patient-first approach meant the strategies and techniques we explored were always informed by an understanding of neurodivergence. It was important to me to work with someone who had that specialist understanding, and I felt it made a real difference. I felt so listened to and comfortable, and the strategies and grounding techniques Shireen shared with me have helped so many aspects of my life. I’m very grateful I came to Shireen when I did.

Mr Zameer Shah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shah is a very friendly, polite, professional consultant, who puts patients at ease. He always explains everything fully and I am lucky to be a patient of his. My experience today was very good. I was greeted with a very friendly, efficient reception lady who booked me in. The nurses who work in the department are always friendly and kind. I was sent for an X ray and again was booked in by a friendly efficient lady there. I only waited around 10 mins and then went back to the orthopaedic department. I had treatment today (knee injections and they were fine, a sharp scratch and it’s all done. Thank you to everyone who I encountered today

Mr Omar Moyasser Dawood Dawood

Plastic Surgeon

I had my procedure with Mr Dawood this week and I was so impressed with the care I received. The consultation was completely smooth and stress‑free, and Mr Dawood was the consummate professional - highly skilled, reassuring, and very kind. His patient care was outstanding, and I would recommend him without hesitation to family and friends. I was also grateful to Mr Dawood's team, especially Lesley, for answering all my queries before the consultation and for arranging the procedure so efficiently, and to the lovely theatre nurse at the McIndoe Centre. They all made the experience genuinely positive, and I am delighted with the outcome.

Consultant Alison Hunt was friendly, helpful, professional and reassuring. Her consultation first removed wax from my ears and then provided a detailed outlining fo the current issues relating to both my ears (and nose) which were reassuring. Her advice was excellent and I have acted on it with success. Alician is a very pleasant environment both clean and comfortable with and excellent receptionist who knows who you are and adds to the personal touch. Alician also provides a venue for hearing tests which I have once a year before seeing Alison. In summary it is a professional and friendly venue which rovides excellent healthcare.

Hearing Therapy Mirfield

Audiology

Very high standards. My wife got her hearing aids 2 years ago and we were so impressed, I immediately decided to replace mine with some from Hearing Therapy. The saying that you get what you pay for rings very true here. Considering the aids come with a 5 year warranty, including parts, repairs, a thorough annual hearing test and retuning of the aids if necessary, they are excellent value. They come with a charger so we never have to change the battery, just pop the aids in the charger at night. Thank you Tim.

Mr Murtaza Salem

Vascular Surgeon

Over all the experience was very good. The doctor and his team were very professional and extremely knowledgeable about my surgery. It was relatively painless and hopefully will improve my leg’s condition. The only complaint I would have is that I was asked to come in at 11.00 am and waited over 6 hours before having my surgery. Without a drink or food. I understand this is not the surgeons fault, his part was excellent but it might be something to take into consideration. Thanks.

Mr Sarmad Kazzaz

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have to say Mr Kazzaz has been fantastic through out , he has been completely honest and transparent with all the options and complications. He helped me every step of the way and was always available to answer questions. I would rate him very highly and cant express my gratitude enough for what he has done for me and how he has helped.
