The hospital was very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The procedure staff were particularly nice and professional. I was very happy with the procedure and the level of professionalism and also good bedside manner. One/two areas which could be improved if you are interested : 1. Pre-procedure information suggested an overall time from entry to release of approx 2hrs. With a 6pm admission time, I assumed I could arrange a collection for 8.30pm with some time to spare. However, on arrival, after approx 1hr 15mins it became apparent that the admission time of 6pm was a general time for 3 patients to be admitted and seen that evening between 6-9pm. I happened to be patient no.2, so was seen around 7.30 and released around 9, meaning I could not use the lift arranged (my wife &kids were ok til then, but not after). This then presented me with a choice of either taxi home or to ask someone at short notice to come and collect me. Had I known the range of procedure/release times in advance, I would have arranged a different, more appropriate, lift from the start. This leads to point no.2 2. I was not made aware of the choice on whether to have sedative or not. The literature states "you will be given a sedative" not that you have a choice. After the delay above, this then created a difficulty whereby if I took the sedative, I could not legally be released to an unknown taxi driver and would have to arrange another lift at short notice or not take the sedative. I opted to not take the sedative. Had I known this option was there, I could have driven myself to and from the appointment. It also would have saved my wife and kids spending time in the car on a busy evening. In connection with this, during the appointment, it sounded like release/recovery after the sedative was likely to be several hours, so release before 10-11pm was unlikely from the start and it was always probably going to be later if I took the sedative. Please don't take the above as criticism, just highlighting that making the choice on sedative clear would have allowed me to more easily plan both my transport. Also providing a bit more detail on the admission/procedure time range and release time range would have allowed me to more easily arrange appropriate transport. Basically, more information would have made things a bit easier is all

The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

My consultation with Dr Cho was genuinely outstanding — far above any experience I’ve ever had on Harley Street. From the moment I walked in, Iva's warm greeting put me instantly at ease and set the tone for an exceptional visit. Dr Cho manages to combine true professionalism with a kindness and warmth that you don’t often find. Her expertise was obvious right away. She identified several concerns quickly and even carried out a couple of minor treatments during the appointment. She explained everything in a clear, simple way that made it easy for me to understand exactly what was happening and why. What really stood out was how generous she was with her time. I never felt rushed for a single moment. Instead, I felt genuinely listened to, cared for, and fully confident that I was in the best possible hands. The whole experience was reassuring, uplifting, and frankly a pleasure. Dr Cho made a tremendous impression on me, and based on many consultations I’ve had elsewhere, I can honestly say she is one of a kind. Experts of her calibre are incredibly rare. I cannot recommend Dr Cho highly enough.

Dr. Bradley Powell

Psychologist

I’m really grateful to have found Bradley. He remembers the little details I mention and brings them back into our conversations in a way that makes me feel genuinely understood and heard. I always have the sense that he’s on my team and truly cares about my wellbeing. I first went to him while off work with burnout and anxiety, and later after receiving an ADHD diagnosis. He supported me through the initial rest and recovery, and then helped me look at the longer-term patterns that contributed to the burnout in the first place. What I appreciate most is how he gently pushes me toward progress while also helping me recognise the steps I’ve already taken. I can be very all-or-nothing in my thinking, and he’s helped me find a kinder, more balanced middle ground. I’d worked with other therapists before and never felt like they really “got” me. Bradley manages to empathise deeply, even with experiences quite different from his own, and because he listens so carefully and thinks things through so well, his support always feels specific and relevant to me. I’d highly recommend him.

Mr Marc Laniado

Urologist

I started the process under NHS care with no symptoms. After GP bloods, MRI, biopsy, CT, and bone scan (confirming the cancer was confined to the capsule), I was disappointed to hear that if I stayed on that path, nerve sparing would not be possible. A friend recommended I speak to Mr Laniado, and this was a turning point. It was clear from the start that I’d be in the most capable hands. His assessment was delivered in an authoritative yet compassionate manner – exactly what I was looking for. He organised a PSMA PET/CT scan which, as he had suspected, confirmed that nerve sparing would be both possible and safe due to the NeuroSAFE approach. (I also preferred the option of the Suprapubic tube). My mind was made up. I decided to self-pay and engage Mr Laniado. His office provided excellent support throughout with prompt and helpful communication. My faith in Mr Laniado was confirmed at each stage: prior to surgery, on the day, the day after, and during the follow-up. I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending him to others in my situation.

Miss Aimee Di Marco

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist, General Surgeon

I cannot recommend Miss Di Marco highly enough. She is an outstanding surgeon who specialises in thyroid and parathyroid disease, and her care went far beyond technical excellence. From our very first consultation, she took time to explain the procedure in clear, reassuring terms, patiently talking me through what to expect and answering all my questions. Most importantly, she made me feel genuinely listened to and reassured, which made an enormous difference. As a result, I felt calm, informed, and confident going into surgery. In theatre, just before I went under, she spoke to me in a calm, steady voice and talked me through the laryngoscopy step by step. That simple act of kindness made me feel safe, relaxed, and completely confident that I was in the very best hands — which I truly was. Miss Di Marco combines exceptional surgical skill with real compassion and humanity. I am deeply grateful for her care and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing thyroid or parathyroid surgery.

Mr Carl Hardwidge

Neurosurgeon

I am 6 weeks post back decompression surgery. Having suffered for 18months I was recommend to see Carl Hardwidge and wow am I pleased I did! He has literally changed my life which had become so miserable with constant pain. I saw Carl 3 times before I had the surgery and never once was I rushed and he explained everything in detail that was going to happen. Carl really is the easiest person to talk to and has a wonderful funny sense of humour On the day of surgery Carl came to my room and went through everything again and made sure I was ok This was the theme post surgery, Carl visited twice a day for the 4 days I was in hospital, to check how I was doing and generally to just have a chat, even if he did moan on occasions that I wasn’t eating enough 😝 I can literally not recommend Carl enough and I will be forever grateful of his expertise in fixing me! Thank you so much Carl 😘

Miss Theresa Richardson

Ophthalmologist

The best doctor I have come across! From the moment I enquired about an appointment, Miss Theresa Richardson was incredibly accommodating and managed to fit me into her schedule. She was exceptionally thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly and explore all possible causes of my symptoms. She carried out detailed investigative tests and did not stop until we had clear answers. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients, with outstanding communication and response times throughout. Miss Richardson is extremely knowledgeable, genuinely kind, and reassuring at every stage. She is without doubt one of the best doctors I have come across, and I could not recommend her more highly. A true gem.

Spire Leeds Hospital

Mr.Farid offered exceptional care from my first consultation where I felt heard and seen as he explained my medical condition and necessary treatment and procedure. I was extremely grateful for his time, patience, kindness and understanding. The procedure and care itself was faultless, his expertise reassuring and my recovery was smooth. I now feel better than I have for many months. As someone who has unfortunately had a number of hospital procedures, I was extremely grateful to have Mr.Farid as my surgeon. His personable manner and expertise made this a reassuring, straightforward and favourable experience. Thank you so very much Mr.Farid.

Dr Farooq Maniyar

Neurologist

I highly recommend Dr. Farooq Maniyar, who is a super expert consultant neurologist. I received great treatment, including a successful Greater Occipital Nerve (GON) block, in the period leading up to my pregnancy. Now that I am pregnant, Dr. Maniyar has expertly tailored my ongoing treatment to ensure its safety and effectiveness. His approach is brilliant, working in perfect, complementary coordination with my NHS Obstetrician. It is deeply reassuring to have such an expert managing my condition during this critical time.

I had an urgent issue with my back and Ms. Aamina Saeed was able to book me in right away. She was incredibly professional and attentive from the moment I arrived. Her massage, cupping, and use of the power gun were all excellent, and she immediately understood where my trigger points were without me having to explain much. I felt truly cared for and in very capable hands. She is efficient, skilled, and highly knowledgeable. I’m very grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physiotherapy.

Mr John Terrace

General Surgeon

Mr John Terrace was very informative from start to finish. We had a telephone consultation to go over the pathology results and ensured that I understood everything. He allowed me to ask any questions that I may have which was really great. At the end of the call he advise that he will always be my consultant and if I need anything again to get in contact. Mr terrace is a credit to have in the industry and I would recommend him to all friends and family if they needed a consultant and surgeon. Thank you so much

I had a cancellation MRI which might explain why I wasn’t sure what to do. Had to wait 30 mins. Mobile units were ok but slightly disorganised. Reception lady was very professional but man who took over wasn’t easy to understand. I had to ask him about clothing to take off. I wasn’t told to remove my boots until I entered MRI room. He and another man got me into the unit but when I was pulled out some way through there was someone different which was strange. However this woman was very nice and kind.

Mr Stavros Karamanakos

General Surgeon

I was put at ease by Mr Stavros Karanakos, he explained the treatment for my condition, invited questions from me which he answered, and explained the procedure in detail. I left after that initial meeting feeling that I was in very capable hands. On the day of the operation I was visited by him where he outlined the procedure again, explaining the possible issues that could happen. I was visited again after the operation to check on my progress and to update me on how the procedure went.

The team on the OCD ward incredibly kind caring and compassionate. It's like being part of a family, including the other 5 patients here. Although, it was challenging at times, I've learnt so much about my condition and I now realise that my beliefs does not necessarily mean it's true. If you're suffering with OCD and feel like you're alone or you have nowhere else to turn to, I highly recommend the Nightingale's 28 day inpatient stay.
