Mr Tev Aho

Urologist

I visited Tev Aho for a second opinion following my attendence at my local NHS hospital for urinary retention where I was advised that I would require long term catheterisation with little chance of successful surgery. Being a relatively fit 70 year old I found this prospect extremely disheartening and as a result set about challenging this prognosis. My research led me to the Cambridge Urology Partnership website where I was encouraged by the solutions that could be available to me and to the successes claimed by Tev and his colleagues through the HoLEP procedure to those with my symptoms. My first contact with Tev was immediately very positive and I was given confidence from the fact that he had no hesitation in recommending HoLEP for me and advising me that there was a 98% prospect of a successful outcome. He explained in a very clear manner what was involved in the process and answered all of my questions openly with all risks (albeit relately small in my case) fully explained. At the conclusion of that consultation I had no hesitation in agreeing to have the precedure which took place within three weeks. My precedure was carried out by Tev at the Nuffield Health Hospital in Cambridge where I received excellent care from staff. The procedure which was under general anaesthetic took less than an hour and I suffered no immediate post operative pain at all. Following an overnight stay I was discharged by Tev following a positive flow test in early afternoon. I am pleased to say that I have never looked back and after years of deteriorating flow and the recent urine retention I am now back to having a flow that I could only have dreamed of a year ago. In summary it is no exageration to say that my experience of having had the HoLEP procedure carried out by Tev has been almost life changing. He displays absolute professionalism at all times with a pleasant demeanour. He is thorough in explaining details and he inspires confidence through his detailed knowledge and his successful achievements. I hope never to have to meet him again but if need dictated he would be my number one choice!

Mr Shilen Patel

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I’ve been seeing Mr Shilen Patel for around 10 months for ongoing TMJ and lockjaw issues. From the very first appointment, he was kind, approachable, and took the time to really listen. He arranged detailed investigations, including MRI and CT scans, and clearly talked me through all the treatment options — from mouthguards, Botox, and physiotherapy to surgery — so I always felt informed and reassured. After trying several treatments, surgery was recommended and carried out in November. One month on, Mr Patel has continued to check in regularly, offering excellent aftercare and answering any questions I’ve had during recovery. I’ve had a genuinely positive experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Patel to anyone dealing with TMJ problems!

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

Very happy with the set up all round. Consultant amazingly helpful in comparison. He was extremely knowledgeable and very concerned . I liked the fact that he actually listened when I explained my problem. ( Its tedious even for me to hear so I can understand the need to switch off at times)...!...but obviously extremely painful ! The actual appointment with the consultant was about 30 minutes. He examined me and advised medication for immediately and perhaps in the future. Excellent man ,so nice . I felt at ease to speak about my pain . The receptionist was so kind and the nurses are angels. I would recommend highly. Thank you Spencer Wing. Mrs B J.P.

Mr Krishna Singh

General Surgeon

At the assessment consultation Mr. Singh addressed all my questions with a calm, reassuring confidence, and in language understandable to me - a layman. On the day of my operation he checked in with me before going to theatre, and later, shortly before I was due to leave. Ten days later I was delighted when I had the dressing removed, as the nurse commented how neat the wound (stitching) was; so all credit to Krish's needlecraft too! I had no post-operative complications. I would readily recommnd Mr. Singh to anyone requiring similar surgery. Thank you Krish.

Prof. Hector Chinoy

Rheumatologist

Professor Chinoy is exceptionally clear when explaining treatment, which is genuinely refreshing. We have seen other consultants who, whilst helpful, can feel rushed and are not nearly as clear in their explanations. Professor Chinoy takes the time to explain things in language we can understand and is friendly and approachable throughout. He encourages questions and never makes you feel uncomfortable or foolish for asking them. This level of clarity and care makes a real difference, and we would welcome more clinicians with this approach.

Dr Kush Joshi

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I had been repeatedly passed around by GPs, physio and other Doctors who all didn’t know the underlying cause. However, Dr Kush Joshi instantly knew the underlying cause and recommended an MRI on my lumbar spine. The results showed there was a problem with my lumbar spine and received appropriate treatment followed by a highly recommended physio. If you have any problems relating to lower limbs muscles, save yourself the hassle and just go see Dr Kush Joshi. I am certainly in safe hands and feel at ease with Dr Kush Joshi, thank you.

Mr Heman Joshi

General Surgeon

The atc was very chaotic ( I can understand as day ward) but lack of info for relatives was bad. Main recovery ward was amazingly caring and sensitive. Can not fault the nurses ( student) on G5 absolutely brilliant. No matter how busy they were always patient and sympathetic. As a parent of a 17 yesr old having major surgery I was comfortable leaving him. The surgeon was also amazing and caring he also made sure to include me ( even though patient classed as adult)

St John & St Elizabeth Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Diagnostics & Testing, + 33 more

Dr Kapur was incredibly informative and really gave my daughter a full understanding of the products being prescribed, why they were being prescribed, how they worked, what to avoid and how she should manage her skin regime going forward. We left feeling far more educated on dermatology especially in relation to teenage hormonal skin. The products she advised were inexpensive and the routine she now has to follow far easier to manage. Thank you.

I’m so glad to have discovered them through TikTok!

Dr Praveen Kumar

Psychiatrist

I had a very positive experience with this psychologist. They are compassionate, attentive, and truly invested in understanding their clients. I felt heard, respected, and supported throughout the process. Their insights were thoughtful and practical, and the sessions helped me gain clarity and confidence. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional and empathetic psychological support.

Associate Professor Alex Day

Ophthalmologist

Mr Day was approachable and friendly at my initial appointment. He went through every detail of the procedure and put me at my ease. He phoned me both times the day after my surgery (Sunday) to check how I was doing and answer any questions which was so reassuring. I have just had my follow up appointment and he was again very friendly, thorough and professional.

And then Stephanie was excellent and really helped me. She was very considerate. But I was impressed with her knowledge and ability to find the right places to focus on. Very very good!
