Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast

Vascular Surgery, Neurology, + 37 more

I recently had a knee replacement which was surprised to be out after a say evn though I took sick, but what surprised me more was the aftercare I received the following after my wound had opened as was told any problems ring the ward which I did and was told to come back over at 5.30 that evening, we arrived at 5..15pm only for 2 nurses to look at the clock as if to say why was I there so late as their shift would be over 1 being the physiotherapist and 1 a senior staff nurse. I was proceeded to be taking to a plastic chair beside the lift shaft to be treated only my husband asked for a wheelchair as I was in sheer agony and the blood pumping out of me. The senior started cleaning a room for me to get treated with a very bad attitude not a bit caring at all I was traumatised I never experienced this before. She started to clean the word not explaining what was happening while another nurse on with someone!! I asked what was happening sh said the doctor said it was OK?? I said the doctor hasn't seen my leg yes he said it was OK he must be a magician!! She then said Pressure done it and I said I was sitting watching TV with my leg up? Then she asked me how much I weighed to me indicating I was too heavy, I have never felt as insulted in my life never mind my confidence being knocked on front of my husband. I asked her was her shift finishing as she just couldn't be arsed with me at all and she said she was onto 8 so why the uncaring attitude. She then left the room and my husband had to ask were we finished and could we use the wheel chair she said yes there is one there which was folded which my husband didn't know how to open and wasn't offered help by her. I left feeling not only very painful I was hurt humiliated and couldn't believe that I private care you would get treated like that. I thing your staff need to know that alot of money was paid for my operation a wee bit of compassion would be lovely it's not a vets clinic I certainly wouldn't and never have treated like that in the royal.... Kingsbridge training on bedside manner wouldn't go a miss you are supposed to be top private hospital not NHS make the difference.

Mr Riaz Agha

Plastic Surgeon

I cannot recommend Dr Riaz Agha highly enough. From my very first consultation through to post surgery care, he has been nothing but professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I had a mummy makeover, including a 360 tummy tuck with muscle repair, 360 liposuction, and breast augmentation and I always felt I was in the safest hands. What really stood out to me is how thorough he is. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have all the information you need before making any decisions. I asked a million questions (it’s just my nature!), and he always took the time to answer every single one with patience and clarity. He truly listens to his patients, but also gives honest, expert advice on what will actually work best for your body. He manages expectations well and is very realistic, which made me feel completely confident in the process. At no point did I feel rushed he really ensures you are mentally and physically ready before proceeding with surgery. Even after the procedure, his care has been exceptional. He responds to any post-op questions, which gave me so much reassurance during recovery. At just 4 weeks post-op, my results are already incredible, thin scars, beautiful proportions, and a result that has completely transformed my confidence. He has genuinely changed my life. Not only is he an incredibly skilled surgeon, but he is also a very kind and caring person. If you’re considering surgery, don’t doubt it, you will be in safe hands with him. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Thank you so much

Abbington House

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

My time at Abbington house has been truly life saving and life changing for not only myself but for my family and my missus. I cannot begin to explain how much love is in this building. How safe you feel here. For the first time in my life I have been surrounded by the people who understand me and don’t judge who I am. The staff here are truly amazing people from being greeted by Niall who is such a sound guy with an amazing story. To seeing Ben and Emily around here full of life, who are always available at any moment to help you if you’re in need. Big John fm is the coolest cat there is and such a lovely bloke. And these are just the support staff. The therapists are second to none. Costa is a man I will trust and adore for the rest of my life, he has instilled in me skills that I can use for the rest of my life. I owe him everything. My house mates are something I thought would be a different story. I thought in here I would keep myself to myself. But I’ve ended up making brothers and sisters, and people I regard as best friends. My time at Abbington will never be forgotten. Thank you guys.

The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

Unfortunately due to the location of part of my cancer the UK authorities do not allow Focal Therapy in such areas. So I received the best UK offer which was very fine & detailed surgery preserving as much quality of life as possible which was significantly better than any offers from NHS. However I started with Focal Therapy and eventually had to go outside UK to get advanced Focal Therapy. It would appear that there is not enough research programmes in UK to challenge the UK authorities, which limits the advancement of new Focal Therapy in UK. I also found that other "Specialists" in UK took 2 fees only to tell me what they knew already that they could not treat all my cancer with their Focal Therapy. This was not the case with The Focal Therapy Clinic experts who were able to offer other treatments instead. So for others be aware that other organisations are more interested in money than providing you with quality service. I can say that the best option, and the highest quality service in UK

Dr Keith Duncan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Our journey with Dr. Keith Duncan has been nothing short of extraordinary. He delivered our first child at the Kensington Wing an experience we thought could never be topped until he delivered our second at the Portland Hospital. Throughout, his calm and collected approach was a beacon. When others sowed fear about blood levels or urgency, he reassured us with precise, accurate information. The anticipated blood loss was minimal, the procedure flawless, and the scar nearly invisible. He was always available even at midnight, promptly responding to our concerns. After each visit, he wrote detailed letters to our GP and copied to us, ensuring continuity of care. Alongside his PA Colette, he provided care we can only describe as world class. We are profoundly grateful for his expertise, warmth, and unwavering support. Truly, he was like an angel, watching over us with indescribable skill and compassion. We are forever grateful.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

After the initial consultation for carpal tunnel I waited for the operation appointment. I attended The Hampshire clinic for the procedure. The staff were very attentive and caring. Mr Alex Nicholls explained everything before pre op and certainly relaxed me giving me the information I needed. I had little pain afterwards and a nurse made sure I was happy before allowing me to leave. I didn’t feel rushed in anyway. The staff were wonderful answering any questions I had. Mr Alex Nicholas arranged to phone me after the stitches had been removed. The operation thanks to Mr Alex Nicholls was a great success, no pain and I now have movement within the hand and wrist. I shall certainly return to have the other hand operated on by him.

Mr Jonathan Hughes

ENT Surgeon

We saw Mr Hughes recently regarding an issue with our daughters’ tonsils (both aged 3). He quickly diagnosed the problem and put a clear treatment plan in place. Mr Hughes performed their tonsil and adenoid removal surgery, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they received. From start to finish, everything was professional, smooth, and efficient. The girls were very well looked after throughout, and one month after the operation they have made a full recovery. The surgery was a complete success, and we are incredibly grateful to Mr Hughes for his excellent care and expertise. Their previous breathing issues have been resolved, and we are extremely happy with the outcome.

Mr Nahor Garcia

Physiotherapist

Finding a good physio in London isn’t easy, but Nahor stands out. Everything is genuinely personalised, no generic plans, just a clear focus on understanding the root cause and fixing it. What I value most is the honesty: no dragging treatments out, just the right approach to get you back to full function as quickly as possible. Nahor also uses a mix of techniques depending on what you actually need, which makes a real difference compared to more standard approaches. Plus, the central London location makes it easy to fit around a busy schedule. Exactly what physio should be, effective, straightforward, and focused on real results.

One Stop Healthcare

Cardiology, Breast Surgery, + 48 more

We arrived for an MRI scan - appointment was for 7.40am. Main doors closed, sign says open at 8am. We walked back to day surgery unit and a gentleman kindly took us to waiting area by coffee machine & told us to wait for reception. The gentleman on reception came over to us at just gone 8am and asked us how we'd got in. Then said same to another couple. He was very rude, very abrupt- told us to fill in form but we had to move to the corridor- not a problem, but his whole manner was horrible. Asked for a pen to complete form to be told, its in there! He was obviously not having a good day and made us feel very unwelcome

Check4Cancer

Oncology, Diagnostics & Testing

The nurse was incredibly friendly and approachable and made me feel instantly at ease. I arrived a few minutes late due to bus delays/train strikes, and was greeted with a smile and a “no problem at all,” then seen straight away. She was knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and reassured me throughout. She was very personable too - asking about where I’m from and trips we’ve been on. Small, kind interactions like that really can improve someone’s day, and she certainly did for me. She’s clearly in the right field and a great asset to your company.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

Mr Nick Edmeades gave me a cataract operation 2 weeks ago. I was impressed by his procedure and helped by his team in a comfortable environment. The result has been excellent and the surgery and replacement lens has restored my middle and far sight to perfection. This procedure has been a bit better all round from the previous cataract operation at a different hospital several years ago. I’m booked in for a YAG on the old eye soon and looking forward to getting back to the vision I have been used to in the past. Thanks Mr edmeades and team

The Day Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology, + 7 more

After initially being devastated following my diagnosis at West Suffolk Hospital and advised that I would t be disfigured as I would need an excision I now feel on to of the world. I cannot praise the clinic and staff enough. The whole experience was professional, friendly, relaxing and pain free. Even during the surgery I felt completely relaxed. It is now only3 days since surgery and today I had the dressing removed. I am so happy with the result. Mr Abood has done a fantastic job reconstructing my nose and I will be forever grateful .

Miss Deepika Akolekar

Breast Surgeon, General Surgeon

A terrible experience. Left waiting for almost an hour before being called in for my mammogram. The mammogram itself was fine and the practitioner very kind and efficient. I was then made to wait another 40 minutes or so to see Miss Akolekar (the appointment lasted approx one minute). For a private clinic, this is very poor. I saw very few patients going in or out of the treatment rooms during this time so it's difficult to know why there was such a delay.

Mr Michael Hughes

General Surgeon

I recently had an open liver resection carried out by Mr Hughes. He's clearly very skilled in what he does and is very professional, but also has a friendly, calm and approachable nature. He took the time to explain the procedure fully to me and answer any questions, putting me at ease and making me confident in his abilities from the start. He showed a genuine interest in my care and welfare following the operation which ensured a smooth recovery.

Dr Muhammad Shahid

Cardiologist

Dr Shahid was incredibly thorough and listened to all the information I provided, prompting me to share things I might have missed. His manner was reassuring and calm and I knew what to expect throughout. He delivered my results straight after my procedure and explained what he was seeing, answering all my questions and gave me the time to understand. Excellent experience throughout and a very positive outcome to top it off.

Dr Dayavathi Ashok

Rheumatologist

I have been under Dr Ashok's care for 13 months. She diagnoised me with 'Reactive Arthritis'. She is kind and patient and extremely knowledgable. She also shows compassion. I can not fault her care in anyway. They medication she got me on has given me back my life. I can not thank her and her team enough. My wife and I have a great deal of respect for Dr Ashok. We have seen her at her private clinic and her NHS clinic.
