I want to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care Mr Hisham Hamed provided over the past ten years. From the very first appointment, he brought not only expertise and professionalism, but also genuine compassion—something that has made all the difference throughout my journey. His calm, confident approach has always reassured me during moments of uncertainty, and willingness to listen, explain, and guide with such patience has helped me feel truly supported. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines extraordinary technical skill with such kindness and humanity, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be under Mr Hamed’s care. He’s simply the best! I’m grateful for his dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and the trust he’s built with me over the years. He has had had a profound impact on both my health and my peace of mind, and I am sincerely grateful for everything he’s done. Mr Hisham Hamed is an exceptional surgeon and an exceptional person, and I cannot thank him enough for the care he continue to provide.

Professor Jian Farhadi

Plastic Surgeon

Professor Farhadi performed a thigh flap breast reconstruction for me two years ago, and a follow up nipple reconstruction with fat transfer a year ago. While this is a more complex surgery with longer recovery than some, I couldn't be happier with the result. The breast feels and looks completely natural, and is a perfect match for my natural breast. The scar on my thigh has faded completely and is positioned in a way that is unnoticeable. I trust Professor Farhadi completely. He performed by original reconstruction in 2012, which was an implant that also looked great but unfortunately ruptured ten years later due to long term effects from radio therapy. There was no question in my mind of using another surgeon for the follow up procedure. He is a perfectionist and has an excellent eye. He also explains everything very clearly, which helped me make the decision for which route to take both times.

Recent visit was ok. My Nurses could have been better organised. On arrival no one was there to greet me despite being told to be there at 7.30 am I wasn’t told no one could come up and wait with you or be present after my procedure. The room for pre theatre and after theatre was far too small for 3 beds to be in it. It was also flat too hot in the room making me feel worse.. Unprepared for someone feeling unwell after the procedure. I did feel very rushed after my procedure despite feeling unwell! The doctor on shift however was very good. Nurses rushing to finish their shift in theatre to hand me over made me feel uneasy. Nurse looking after me rushing me out the door as it was past 8pm. I was worried about leaving as still felt pretty unwel. Overall was not tailored to my needs Surgeon & anaesthetist very good can’t fault them at all. Made me feel very at ease before my procedure.

I have been under Dr Raza's care for almost 3 years. I first saw him when a spinal MRI showed large fibroid. A few months ago, I had been in more discomfort than before so I decided to see Dr Raza in September. It turned out then after USG that the fibroid grew almost 60% and the additional MRI showed abnormal tissue. Dr Raza decided to perform emergency single-port robotic hysterectomy, an advanced and innovative method in the gynecology field. Although he was fully booked, he prioritised my case. Everything went well, and I recovered within a few weeks. I am so happy and so lucky that I have been under Dr Raza's care. He is an expert in his field, and always devotes more time during consultations to explain everything so that you can make informed decisions about your health. Going forward I will be seeing Dr Raza to monitor my female health.

Ms Tahira Naeem

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had an excellent experience during a telephone appointment with my doctor, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. Even over the phone, the doctor was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They communicated clearly and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to follow, making the entire conversation feel comfortable and reassuring. What impressed me most was how thorough they were despite it being a remote consultation. The doctor asked detailed, thoughtful questions to make sure it was completely safe for me to go ahead with treatment. I never felt rushed, and I was given plenty of clear, helpful information throughout the call. Their combination of professionalism, kindness, and careful attention left me feeling confident, well-informed, and genuinely happy with the experience.

I had a recent admission for a Discectomy under the care of Mr Manoj-Thomas. The entire experience from initial appointment to the actual surgery was just over 6 weeks. During this time I received regular communication to prepare me for my surgery. I was overwhelmed by the high standard of care I received as an in patient from the nursing and medical team. All professionals were courteous calm and maintained my dignity and trust during an anxious time and I am incredibly grateful. My follow up care is continuing and I was very impressed with the phone call I received 2 days post discharge to ensure I was continuing to recover. St Joseph’s epitomises the experience all patients should receive irrespective of whether they are private or NHS patients. Thank you so much.

It's two days since I had major surgery at St Hugh's hospital in Cleethorpes. I still find my eyes tearing up with gratitude at how well they have cared for me. Their consultants are of the highest calibre. And all the staff on the wards, from nurses through to the kitchen, are a joy to witness. Their happiness at work permeates through every nook and cranny. They have looked after not just my body, but my emotions and my dignity. Major surgery is always stressful, but the aftercare I had at St Hugh's has given me a headstart in my recovery. All credit too, to the wise and judicious management in the background. Only good managers could maintain a team who are so united and happy in their jobs. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Mr Ravi Popat

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had severe pain from Osteoarthritis which the NHS were throwing as much delay at as possible. I had a busy year planned with commitments abroad and it was impossible to to arrange a treatment plan. I consulted Ravi via a Spire hospital. He was able to format a plan, including pain relieving injections so that the replacement operation fitted in with the end of my travel arrangements. He explained everything clearly throughout the process ad then, with fantastic skill, carried out the operation. I only needed one night in the hospital and 17 days after was signed off by the physio as not requiring further attention. I walk with no limp at all and can climb stairs normally. Overall a great team led by a superb caring surgeon.

The toilets were yet again filthy. For the second time I complained. I appreciate that nothing will change, but I discussed not only with the nurse, but also with front desk that the hygiene level was very low indeed. In a private facility this is a disgrace. Further, I found that any details given on a prior visit had not updated onto the current registration form. While I came in after 6.30 pm, i have seen the awful queues for registration at earlier times. Your reception person was on his own and was also on his own on the prior visit, and the paperwork took far too long. You need more than one person on the front desk. Overall, the clinic is poor.

OCL Vision Elstree

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Ophthalmology

I am so happy with my experience, as you know I was very concerned as my mother had a bad experience, but I received the most absolute best experience with you, Masara, From the moment I walked in, the staff were super friendly and made me feel at ease. You are an amazing eye surgeon – incredible skills, you explained everything clearly, and made me feel super comfortable throughout the whole process. Your attention to detail and care is second to none. The facilities at OCL Vision are also top quality, and the whole team made sure I was looked after. I couldn't recommend Dr. Masara Laginaf and OCL Vision more! 😊 Thank you so much for your care!

Dr. Mark Jarvis

Gastroenterologist

Mr Jarvis was extremely professional and dedicated. He wasted no time in arranging tests and scans to determine the cause of my discomfort. He was very clear and transparent about the treatment I received. I immediately received reports outlining the procedures and their findings which was extremely comforting. His dedication knew no bounds, when he personally followed up reports needed from Radiology. This, combined with the constant follow ups from his secretary Victoria, resulted in a prompt diagnosis, enabling me to continue with a previously booked trip abroad. Absolutely brilliant personal care.

Mr James Langdon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Very good initial consultation and diagnosis with clear explanations of my back and hip issues and prognosis. James suggested injection therapy to block the nerve and reduce inflammation. I went forward with the procedure with great help from James’ secretary and office who organized all the arrangements and made it easy. The procedure went well and I am very happy with the results, and my back and leg pain has been cured with no issues 6 weeks afterwards. Overall a great experience and you are in good hand with James and his team. Thankyou!

Mr Hisham Hamed

Breast Surgeon

Dr Hamed was very professional and patient in answering all the questions I had on the breast screening. His advice was sensible, informative, and tailored to my situation. He was very attentive and stayed behind until all my checks were done so that he could personally explain the test results to me on the same day. My checks were done on a Friday, so now I could go home without having to worry over the weekend. I really appreciated his kindness and professional advice, and will definitely come back for my next checkup. Many thanks, Dr Hamed!

Mr Pranab Sinha

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sinha gave me the confidence to have my knee replacement sooner rather than later. There was no option and physio was no longer helping. He explained that my recovery would be quicker as I was younger and in good health and would get more use out of it. It would give me a good quality of life and I would be able to keep up with my grandchildren ! He was right ! 4 weeks post op and I am walking without my crutches. He is a lovely caring person and an excellent surgeon.

Dr Oliver Segal

Cardiologist

The first interview over the internet is simply a money gathering excise. To charge the same fee as that charged for a face to face is not defendable or reflective of the standards of integrity I expect from practitioners of this level. The letter that follows simply restates the facts that do not merit a charge of£450 for 27 minutes. The next steps then advocated are those which could be asked for without this money harvesting exercise. I found it insulting.

I would like to thank Dr Manojit Sinha for his wonderful care in the procedure I had and a massive thank you to the two ladies and gentleman who helped they were outstanding. From the moment arrived until I left after my procedure I felt totally looked after everything was explained and everyone went above and beyond to provide excellent professional care and support.
