The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

Mr Ben Sherwood

Urologist

My husband had an exceptional experience with the urology department. From the moment we arrived, the staff made him feel comfortable, respected, and well-informed. The nurses and support team were kind, attentive, and always willing to help, even with the smallest concerns. Mr Ben Sherwood was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, making sure my husband understood his diagnosis, treatment options, and next steps. His professionalism and confidence truly put us at ease. Throughout the entire process, I felt my husband was in the best possible hands. The department is well-organised, the facilities are spotless, and appointments ran smoothly and on time. We always felt supported and listened to. I highly recommend this urology team — their expertise, compassion, and dedication to patient care has been exceptional. They turned what could have been a stressful experience into something reassuring and positive. Special thanks to Mr Ben Sherwood and Elaine for their exceptional care, patience, and dedication — your kindness made a real difference and is deeply appreciated.

Dr Zinu Philipose

Gastroenterologist

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.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

I had my Pre-assessment on 14/91/26 at 09.30. I arrived early because of the inadequate parking at the hospital but was pleasantly surprised to be able to park straight away so, I arrived at 09.00 for my appt. I registered with reception then the nurse, Sharon, called me. Sharon talked me through my Pre-assessment and explained in detail what would happen when I'm admitted for my op. She gave me an ECG, took MRSA swabs and I had my bloods taken. Sharon explained several forms to me and provided Octensian wash and nasal gel for me to use prior to admission and after. The whole experience was positive. Sharon was very professional with an easy, friendly manner and kindly answered my questions that she had not already covered.

Mr Kam Balaggan

Ophthalmologist

I was put completely at ease with all my concerns being addressed. The results are amazing, far beyond my expectations even though I was assured it would be good. Mr Balaggan has great skill which he uses to transform our most precious gift, sight. The theatre support team, both in their work and ability to put me at ease while my sight was being restored to what it was 30+ years ago, were friendly and talented. The hospital support staff saw to all my needs from the moment I walked in to the time I left. I cannot put a price or score on the whole experience, I had high hopes. and these were met and gone above and beyond them. I just want to say a huge thank you to all concerned.

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

Willow Health

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I have had various symptoms of perimenopause over the last year or so but it came to a head a few months ago when i had a severe panic attack and seemed to develop anxiety. I am finding this difficult to cope with and the GP didn't seem to help me. I met with Dr Colquhoun and she was lovely, provided me with alot of information and advice and took me and my symptoms seriously. As a result I now have a course of action and have had HRT prescribed and a coil fitted. Whilst this is all new to me, i am feeling very positive about this plan and hopeful that I can start to feel like myself again!

Dr. Haus Dermatology

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I recently had a CO₂ laser treatment at Dr. Haus, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. At 54, I’m focused on keeping my skin healthy and firm, and this treatment was exactly what I needed. It boosted my skin’s texture, brightness, and overall vitality in a way that feels natural and refreshed—not overdone. Dr. Haus and his team were professional, caring, and incredibly reassuring throughout the process. I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend the CO₂ treatment to anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin with real, visible improvement.

Professor Peter Irving

Gastroenterologist

Thank you so much for the wonderful care that Professor Irving gave to me towards the end of 2025. He was incredibly reassuring, kind, knowledgeable and I felt able to ask him any question (however he answered almost all my questions without me even having to ask them). As a fellow healthcare professional, you can really tell when someone cares about their job and patients and Professor Irving really does. Thank you also to his wonderful secretary Victoria for answering all emails and being so lovely on the phone. I would highly recommend Professor Irving.

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Ms. Mavridou is truly outstanding. From the initial consultation through to the procedure, she consistently demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and genuine care, making me feel safe, listened to, and reassured at every step. She always explained things clearly and with patience, and her calm presence and excellent bedside manner created a space where I felt completely comfortable and understood. It’s clear she is deeply passionate about caring for her patients, and I am very grateful for her support.

Dr Parkash Lohana

Plastic Surgeon

I had a breast reduction and uplift with Parkash Lohana in December 2025 and I am delighted with the results. Throughout the consultation process and pre-op appointments he was so kind and put me totally at ease, I trusted him immediately. He was honest about the process and results I wanted, I wasn't sure about implants but he explained clearly why I didn't need them and I'm so thankful! He really cares about the patients he sees and the results they want to achieve.

Mr Sushmith Gowda

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Gowda has been very clear in his explanation of what the procedure entailed and the possible outcomes including level of pain possible although luckily I experienced only mild discomfort. His approach is friendly but extremely professional - an excellent bedside manner. He gave enough time for me to ask any questions I might have and was at all times reassuring. I felt confident about my treatment and that he was listening to me. Absolutely no complaints.

The York Dental Suite by Mafalda Queiroz

Dentistry

We have been attending Mafalda’s clinic for years now and always receive the best care! Her team are excellent (special mention for Jemma and Chloe). I would highly recommend them to any families - they are amazing with kids, so reassuring and make the whole experience fun. My son is having aligner treatment at the moment and always looks forward to visiting the clinic. Mafalda is so passionate about what she does and we feel we are in the best hands.

Dr Michelle Mackintosh

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an ovarian cyst and ovary removed via keyhole surgery by Dr Mackintosh and can highly recommend her. She listened, we agreed the treatment plan together and I felt involved in all decisions throughout. She explained everything very well. The operation went well and she did an excellent job ensuring minimal trapped air afterwards and the scars have healed really nicely. Would not hesitate to visit her again - but obviously hope I don’t have to!

GenesisCare Surrey

Oncology

All of the staff are so friendly, this whole experience has been made so much more positive because of them. The facilities are wonderful, it feels more like a hotel lounge than a waiting area. The refreshments and activities are thoughtful for not just the patients but also to those who may be attending with them. I feel incredibly supported by the whole team here, from a welcome every time at reception to treatment the experience is top.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

Disappointed I had to wait 20 minutes for an appointment first thing in the morning, however everything else was positive. Waiting area and treatment room were both tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Some additional work required and dentist took me through options for treatment and resulting cost. Dental work was very good and pain free(!). Payment all completed to my satisfaction. Overall, a positive experience
