Mr Mohammed Akmal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been under the care of Mr. Akmal since 2022, for treatment of Spinal disc degeneration. Without his professional skill and empathy I would still be in chronic pain. Having had a very successful disc replacement & fusion surgery back in 2023 under his care, further deterioration in other joints resulted in needing another bout of disc replacements and fusion in my cervical spine, and cortex spacers in my lumber spine. In late 2025 I embarked on another session of surgery and underwent the operation to replace, fuse and insert spacers in the offending areas of my Lumber & Cervical spine. I request both of my afflicted areas be treated in the same operation, whilst naturally cautious he undertook a rigorous assessment of the risks and eventually he and his team agreed to proceed. I had both my Cervical and Lumber spine treated in the same surgery and having entered at 07:00, I once again walked out at 18:00 on the same day. 2 weeks later the key hole wounds had healed I was off painkillers and well on the way to full recovery. My experience again is a testimony not only to the personal skill, knowledge and empathy of Mr. Akmal, but to all the people who enable such life changing surgery to happen, including the anaesthetist, surgical team, and ward staff. The successes of the surgery undertaken by Mr. Akmal and his highly skilled team are due not only to their professional skills, but to the holistic approach taken from diagnosis, explanation of options, type of painkillers and follow up care. Whilst the impact of aging and bodily wear cannot be escaped, Mr. Akmal does offer options to improve quality of life immensely. An interesting footnote is prior to the surgery I was suffering from Hypertension, post surgery my BP is back to normal for my age, a reflection of how chronic pain can affect you in more ways than one....!!

Mr Krishna Vemulapalli

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr V operated on me in 2017 to straighten my ankle. He transformed my life, I had previously been hobbling around, not walking far & in pain. After I recovered from surgery. My ankle was fixed & straight, I was able to walk without pain or limits & I am enjoying life. I recently had to return to see Dr V, as I could feel one of the screws was pushing out under my skin. It needed to be removed. It was done under local, a bit traumatic but Dr V talked me through it & I squeezed his hand while his registrar did the deed. On both occasions I felt I was in safe hands. Dr V is a very skilled surgeon, he is kind, compassionate & listens too. Not qualities you always find in the NHS because staff are so busy now. I will forever be grateful for what he has done for me & I would commend Dr V to you wholeheartedly

Mrs Ami Shukla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Ami Shukla is the first gynaecologist who listened to me and understood my concerns and worries. I left feeling reassured that my issues will now be looked at properly. Before seeing Ms Shukla I was feeling really lost I found GP's don't really understand womens health. I was previously put on antidepressants and was told that I was feeling a certain type of way because this was all in my head and this was put down to mental health when in realitiy my HRT needed looking at. The HRT was not quite right which is why I booked into see Ami Shukla who has now put my mind at ease and is helping me with my women issues. I highly recommend Ms Shukla to everyone.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Greeted by friendly staff and seen at my appointment time. Following a basic health check, the procedure was explained in detail and I was taken to a treatment room for the Gastroscopy to begin. Throat spray was applied, blood pressure and oxygen levels were monitored throughout the procedure, then the camera was inserted via the mouth into the oesopagus and stomach. The process was painless but a little discomfort was felt and took no longer that 10 minutes in total. I was then taken to a recovery room and discussed the treatment findings.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

All professionals on all levels, be it administration, psychiatrists, health care professionals etc, have all been extremely empathetic, kind, respectful and efficient. I felt safe and able to trust all members of staff during all interactions I've had. Sometimes organisation wasn't always perfect such as informant questionnaires seemingly getting lost and causing delays and my assessment being double booked requiring a last minute rescheduling, but any problems were dealt with efficiently.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Medical Weight Loss, Pharmacy

On my order I specifically asked for CAPSULES of paracetamol not Tablets. The turn around was quick but I realized when receiving 3 boxes of tablets no care had been taken to check the medecine. When I asked for a return label they asked for photos and description of the packaging of which I cant do . I'm over 90 and not familiar with taking photos and being a simple mistake in product I didn't understand. I will never use these people again and wil never recommend them. My order #

Mrs Rachel Sherriff

Acupuncturist

We turned to Rachel after 2 failed IVF cycles- lost on where to turn. She was a breath of fresh air after a clinic who explained very little. She reassured us, talked us through options and helped guide us towards a number of additional tests and ultimately a new clinic. Ultimately we were then incredibley lucky to fall pregnant naturally after 2 1/2 years of trying and we are sure the improvements made through testing particularly on my husbands side helped.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

I saw the GP within an hour of calling. GP was friendly, confident and extremely competent. I was able to discuss the medication options and I felt part of the process in a very positive way. I cannot recommend the Practice highly enough. Within 2 hours of seeing GP, collecting the prescription and taking it I felt relief and felt on the road to recovery. Thank you

One Stop Healthcare

Pain Management, Breast Surgery, + 47 more

I recommend a private appointment. Instead of a rushed NHS 10 minute experience, the doctor spends 30 minutes understanding symptoms and background. Dr Hamdulay was very thorough, professional and friendly. He gave me very helpful advice and the medication I needed to make a full recovery. Highly recommend OSD Healthcare.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I had a septic a septic finger. It was a Saturday morning. Pharmacy would not provide antibiotic cream without seeing a GP. No NHS GP available. Rang Deben healthcare and Dr able to see me within half an hour. Dr was very thorough and carried out a small procedure. Issued a prescription for antibiotic cream.

Miss Anna Gruener

Ophthalmologist

Excellent appointment my cataract wa fully explained and understood. Because is a slow burner I was given the option of having sor waiting until it’s more mature. I opted to wait as it not a problem currently and I only have one good eye, so the risk of surgery versus a year or so wait made my decision

Mr Ahmed Shalan

Vascular Surgeon

Explains everything in detail to me. Made to feel comfortable in his presence and will answer any questions you are unsure about. Feel confident in his professionalism and feel like I have built up a good patient/doctor relationship for our future consultations and any surgery I require. Thankyou

Dr. William Eysenck

Cardiologist

Dr Eysenck was very professional and explained what to expect with the procedure (ablation). There was plenty of opportunity for me to ask questions too. I’d also like to thank the whole team who were professional and friendly and explained each stage very clearly. I found this very reassuring.

Mr Mustansir Alibhai

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Mr Alibhai was brilliant before, during, and after the removal of my four wisdom teeth. He was extremely empathetic and patient, taking the time to clearly explain the options and the entire process. On top of that, he was reassuring and very human in his approach. I would highly recommend him.
