The admissions brochure fails to state that family members are not allowed to stay with patients during the pre-operative wait. This is a significant omission, as it creates avoidable anxiety for patients who are already nervous about their procedure and are only informed of this restriction upon arrival. The pre-op nurses showed poor bedside manner when I asked about this. Instead of offering reassurance, they quoted “hospital policy” and then gave reasons that felt dismissive and inaccurate — for example, claiming that “too many people come in and out of rooms,” when in reality only one nurse completed paperwork, followed later by the surgeon and anaesthetist. I was also told I would be going to theatre “shortly,” even though I knew (correctly) that I would be waiting another 1.5 hours. My family member could easily have stayed with me during that entire period, as is standard in the Ulster Independent Clinic and in my previous NHS experiences. The lack of engagement from the pre-op nurse beyond basic paperwork questions made the situation feel even more uncomfortable. The pods themselves felt more like small, bare cells than a calming space prior to surgery — no TV, no artwork, just two chairs and a table. It was far from a soothing environment. In contrast, the theatre staff and post-op nurses were outstanding. They were friendly, proactive, and reassuring, and they made up for the negative pre-operative experience. One final issue: the staff arranging my discharge medication did not check my notes and prescribed a medication I am unable to take. Because the pharmacy had already closed, the only solution was to remove it from the prescription entirely.

CP+R

Cardiology, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I had a fantastic experience with CR+P's cardiac rehabilitation.programme. From the very beginning, it was clear this was not a one-size-fits-all programme; it was meticulously tailored to my specific health needs, which made me feel incredibly safe and supported throughout my recovery journey. Each training session was professionally delivered, well-structured, and very informative. I could feel the tangible results week-on-week. It was incredibly motivating to feel my cardio condition noticeably improving with each session, a testament to the programme's effectiveness. Lizzie was absolutely fantastic and knowledgeable which made the training sessions both highly effective and fun. She was always happy to explain not just what exercise we were doing, but why we were doing it, which was so empowering. She seamlessly integrated practical dietary advice and set clear, achievable tasks and goals between sessions, keeping me engaged and motivated.. I wholeheartedly recommend CR+P's cardiac rehabilitation programme to anyone seeking a structured, supportive, and truly transformative path to better heart health. It has equipped me with the knowledge and confidence to manage my health long-term

The Catalyst Clinic

I’ve been working with Ethan Haussmann for several months, and I can honestly say he is one of the most attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring practitioners I’ve ever met. From the very first consultation, Ethan took the time to fully understand my goals, my lifestyle, and the underlying issues I wanted to address. He doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach — everything is personalised, evidence-based, and explained clearly. His depth of knowledge in peptides, longevity medicine, and overall health optimisation is exceptional. What really sets Ethan apart is his communication. He’s patient, supportive, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. I’ve felt guided, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout the entire process. The results have been outstanding. I’ve experienced significant improvements in energy, recovery, mood, and overall wellbeing — far beyond what I expected. If you’re looking for a practitioner who combines expertise, integrity, and a truly human approach, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ethan. He is one of the best professionals in this field.

Sana Private Health

Diagnostics & Testing, Ophthalmology, + 1 more

I recently had cataract surgery at Sana, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the very first consultation to the post-surgery checkups, the entire experience was smooth, professional, and reassuring. The staff & Mario J Saldanha were kind, patient, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. Mario explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and the procedure itself was quick and completely painless. My vision is now clearer than it has been in years — it’s truly life-changing. I’m so grateful for the excellent care I received and highly recommend this clinic/team to anyone considering cataract surgery.

Mr Said Mohamed

General Surgeon

I have seen Mr Mohamed on two occasions recently and in both cases the appointments were on time, courteous and friendly. Mr Mohamed reviewed my extensive medical history in detail, asked appropriate questions, recommended the next steps and, with my agreement, drew up the appropriate paperwork. The procedures were organised, performed within a few days and a follow up appointment was arranged where the results & ongoing recommendations were discussed. All of this took place over a period of ten days, without doubt one of the best medical experiences I’ve had in my 81 years.

Dr. Omer Ahmad

Gastroenterologist

I have been in the care of Dr Omer Ahmad for a number of years now and I must to say he is one of, if not the best consultants I have had the pleasure of meeting. Each time I meet him I come away feeling positive. There are some times in life when you need to feel like you are in a safe, knowledgeable and experienced set of hands, and this Dr Omer provides in abundance. From a thorough explanation of the procedure, to witnessing his beady eye hunt down those hard to find colon polyps and finally reassuring you of the findings, the whole experience was excellent!

Dr Malcolm Finlay

Cardiologist

From the outset, Dr Finlay was welcoming, friendly and empathetic and this allowed for frank and clear discussions about my situation. I had arrived with understandable anxieties but, by clearly explaining the issues , he was able to put the tests and assessments ahead in a more realistic and reassuring light. I was impressed by the care he took to explain the nature of the problem I was experiencing and also about the tests and treatments he was proposing.

Spire Hull & East Riding Hospital

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 16 more

The Spire has excellent facilities (car parking, waiting area, consulting rooms etc) and the reception staff are very attentive and helpful. The “formal check in” using an iPad is an unnecessary hurdle for patients to negotiate. The earlier system of just checking in with the receptionist was much better. My appointment with Dr. Balerdi was on time and a very useful session. Re. Dr. Balerdi himself, my very postive comments are in an earlier section.

Clear Ahead Health

Clinical Psychology, Psychiatry

In general, their service is excellent and easy to navigate. The only minor inconvenience is a small systems organisation issue. Data collection forms are sent as soon as follow-up appointments are scheduled (6 months in advance), and so the information would be out of date if completed at this stage. A workaround is to email for a new form link shortly before the appointment date, and to their credit they are always happy to comply with this.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

Better signage would help. We wandered around looking for the appropriate location. There are two car parking 4 areas which doesn't help. Luckily we found a helpful Doc who took us to where we needed to be. Once there we were welcomed. I couldn't eat anything after the op, the restaurant didn't have anything for gluten, dairy and egg free patient. I feel sure they could have products on standby for the future, most vegan products would suffice.

Medical Prime Menopause Clinic

General Practice (GP)

Great service. The consultant spent plenty of time with me asking lots of questions about all aspects of my life as well as symptoms so I felt my care was very holistic. I had the opportunity to ask questions and explore different treatment options. The consultant was very empathetic and I really appreciated her knowledge of menopause which I have not been able to access through my GP. Very happy with the service.

Dr Christopher Phillips

Dermatologist

Dr Christopher Phillips is an outstanding specialist. He explained everything clearly, offered different treatment options, and helped me choose the safest and most effective approach. During the procedure he was highly professional, calm, and supportive, which made me feel completely confident and safe. I have never met a more attentive and skilled doctor in UK. I am extremely grateful for his care and expertise.

General Practitioner

Dr. Simon TR Bailey

General Surgeon

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr Bailey. From the moment I walk in, I felt welcomed, heard and cared for. Dr Bailey takes the time to listen attentively, explain every detail clearly and make sure you feel comfortable and confident about your care. His expertise is evident, but what truly sets him apart is his compassion. He approached every appointment with patience and empathy, never rushing.

Professor Margaret Johnson

Respiratory Doctor

I saw Prof Johnson having been referred by an urgent care centre. I was anxious but immediately put at ease. Johnson does what many don't. She listens. I found her incredibly thorough and empathetic. Too often we do away with expectations relating to a physicians bedside manner which is a terrible shame. Medical prowess and emotional tact are possible and I feel lucky to under her care.
