Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

Mr Thomas Finnigan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Finnigan was very gently spoken, and he helped me feel calm and safe. He sppke about what would happen in my operation and spoke me through it all. At all times he asked if I had any questions, and I felt happy and comfortable to ask whatever I needed. Or asked for more information also. He was very kind and answered everything so I could understand. I felt very safe to have Mr Finnigan as my consultant, and I am extremely happy with my surgery which went very well. In my appointment following my operation, i was happy to show him I had full movement of my knee joint and it was repairing well. I would definitely tell any of my family of friends to use Mr Finnigan, and the Spire Manchester Hospital. I also would like to shout out and thank every member of staff, from the porters to administrators, to nurses and all the way up to the Consultants, for the way they looked after me. So “THANK YOU!” 😄👍

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

My recent visit was for a crown fitting and work on the gums. I saw Dr Balawal . I have had a number of appointments with him. He explains what he is doing and, he takes care to ensure the patient is not experiencing any discomfort. I have always understood, and been pleased with, his treatment. He presents as a very competent, conscientious dentist. The reception staff are all polite, helpful and friendly. I am so pleased that I contacted Quality Dental. I have taken out a dental plan and will continue to attend this surgery. I don't know what the other dentists in the practice are like, but I can certainly recommend Dr Balawal.

Mr Tony Antonios

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Antonios looked at me holistically rather than my age when considering treatment options. As a 78 yr old man I am still very active and wish to continue an active lifestyle. I had a rotator cuff repair and Mr Antionios showed a video of surgery, explained the MRI images and discussed the aftercare and physiotherapy required. At all times I felt reassured and in safe hands. At my recent follow up appt I was able to show him my range of movement so much so I was able to give him a hug and am truly grateful for his expertise, compassion and kindness. He has given me a new lease of life.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

My son had a surgical extraction and the procedure was very calm and relaxed for him. I was able to be there too, so I watched the whole procedure and was very impressed at how clean the procedure was, resulting in a positive experience and successful extraction, ahead of upcoming orthodontic work. Waiting times weren't too long, although for private treatment we had hoped to be seen a little sooner than we were. The practice staff were friendly and very welcoming and high standards were evident throughout, in terms of hygiene and care. My son has no pain and is recovering well.

Mr Stephen Dalgleish

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can not thank Stephen enough. From the moment I met him I knew I would be in excellent hands. Stephen is very friendly, sympathetic , empathetic and approachable he possesses emotional intelligence in abundance. From the initial consultation everything was clearly explained. Stephen is a wonderful surgeon he clearly is experienced in his field coupled with making you feel at ease, The surgery has changed my life as the pain prior was unbearable. I would highly recommend Stephen for anyone looking for a fabulous surgeon to perform a hip replacement. Thanks again

Mr Mahantesh Karoshi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I would like to express my sincere thank you to Mr. Karashi, who performed the sonata treatment and hysteroscopic myomectomy. The operation went well and my period has become normal and much lighter after the operation. My tummy has less pressure to my lower back after both treatments. Mr. Karashi explained very well to me my symptoms and what caused my heavy period and pressure to my lower back. He is very patient and friendly and I feel that I am in a very good care of him. I would highly recommend Mr. Karashi to any patient who needs gynaecological treatment.

The clinic has a very clean and welcoming atmosphere, and the results look natural and exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for highquality aesthetic treatments.Thank you, Cristina!You are the best!

Hugest thanks to Dr Onur Gilleard for removing the cyst like lump on my face - he is an incredible highly skilled Plastic surgeon - the procedure was pain free, very quick and I couldn't believe how neat and small the incision and stitches were which are healing beautifully. It was only a week ago however I have absolutely no doubt that there will be minimal scarring due to his expertise. Dr Gilleard and the nurse were incredibly kind and caring and totally put me at ease. Would totally recommend to anyone.

The most important thing for a patient undergoing a medical procedure is the trust between the patient and the treating physician. From the assessment meeting, followed by the brief consultation with Dr. Seward, and throughout the medical procedure, I felt that I was being treated in the most professional manner possible. Dr. Seward demonstrated extensive knowledge, professionalism, and confidence, and created a comfortable atmosphere between us, providing clear information throughout the entire process.

Hari has been looking after my dad who has stage 4 kidney cancer. Hari is a kind, caring person who treats you with respect and truly wants to help. Dad certainly would not be where he is now only for Hari. He sets out a clear protocol to help on your cancer journey. I think one of the things that stood out to my dad and our family is the reassurance he gives you. I would recommend anyone going through this to contact Hari and his team. You will be in knowledgeable safe hands without doubt.

Mr Bassem Mettias

ENT Surgeon

Visited Mr Mettias for a ongoing issue with our 4 year son. He carried out a very good examination on the day, made plenty of notes. Listened very carefully and explained what the cuase may be. Explained very well what the route course could be and advised on treatment. Allowed us to think it through. What would be best for our son. And has left it very open and accessible to contact again. Very happy with the outcome of the initial consultation.

Dr Deb (Debabrata) Majumdar

What an amazing doctor. Dr Deb is very thorough and caring, and has helpful, professional and responsive support staff too. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. I was so nervous but he made me feel very relaxed and in safe hands. The process was very smooth, dignified and I felt extremely well cared for. The results were explained carefully and he really took the time to answer my questions. I highly recommend Dr Deb, thank you very much.

Spire Harpenden Hospital

The only area for improvement is the check-in process - quite often there is a queue of people waiting at reception and the vehicle registration screen is separate to the check-in form, which isn't very efficient. The waiting area and exam rooms are clean and tidy, the staff is friendly and helpful. I prefer coming here despite it being a longer drive than my nearest private hospital because of the great experience I've had previously.

Mr Mark Jones

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Jones was kind, genial, professional and as gentle as he could be with the procedure. He chatted to me during the procedure , telling me about the scan that was showing the fluid on/ around my knee and was happy to answer my question about what the fluid was that he was removing etc. He told me that I’d get a call from him in a few months time to check how I’m getting on rather than a face to face follow up. What an excellent man !
