Spire Manchester Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 11 more

Walking into Spire hospital at Manchester, I was greeted by really good reception staff who listened to what I said and then made it happen. It felt very well organised. Into the wards/clinics for treatment, I was again greeted by friendly, confident staff who quickly put me at ease and explained what was to be carried out. All of my tests/treatments were carried out very professionally, on time and with care and respect. I felt comletly at ease throughtout. 5 Stars in every respexct for the clinical staff and Spire Manchester. Bad Experiencies. Dealing with the Spire Online/ Phone back office and Booking System. It was diabolical in all aspects. It appeared to be very dis-jointed and not able to pass information on internally nor take notice of what I told them. I received meaningless paperwork that bore little resemblance to what was to be done and its timeline. The night before treatment, around 8 p.m., I even received an email that told me all my procedures/ tests were to be carried out in Liverpool, not Manchester. Very poor level communications from Spire admin. very bad experience for me.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

Mr Ardeshir Bonshahi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From my initial conversation relaying the advantages of undergoing a knee replacement, but also the implications of surgery, to date at the 6week consultation, I have found Mr Bonshahi to be very straight forward speaking which is very refreshing. He has relayed information in every explicit detail. My confidence in undergoing this procedure was at no time wavered, the reasurances given surounding the entire procedure and visit completly relaxed my spirits. He is without doubt, the most outstanding orthopaedic surgeon and must be so proud and pleased to work in such a wonderful environment as the Highfield Hospital surrounded by the excellence of his support staff. I cannot express my gratitude, thanks and appreciation to both Mr Bonshahi, his staff, every single person at the Highfield Hospital and the NHS

I was made to wait 6 months for my cataract operations because I had a cardioversion. This is a short sedation rather than a general anaesthetic. I have been given no clinical explanations for this. I am in perfect health despite my age. I understand that a normal waiting time at other hospitals is 6 weeks with good recovery after a major operation. I suspect there are no clinical reasons, just a bureaucratic hesitation to take the slightest risk. I wonder how many patients discover that “Well soon” should be retitled “Well sometime”. Your bureaucratic incompetence is illustrated by your list of specialists which does not include the name of my surgeon, your lead ophthalmologist Dr Marzena Raszewska. It is her recorded ability that persuaded me to wait the 6 months rather than seek an alternative.

Dr Chris Rutkowski

Consultant Allergist

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr Rutkowski for his exceptional professionalism and expertise. He took great care in clearly explaining complex allergy findings and provided thoughtful, evidence-based insight that helped me fully understand my condition. What I valued most was his ability to link the allergy assessment meaningfully to fitness to practise within the healthcare industry, addressing my concerns with clarity, reassurance, and clinical precision. His approach was not only thorough but also compassionate, and it gave me confidence in both my health management and professional responsibilities. I am very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Dr Rutkowski to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, careful, and genuinely supportive immunologist.

Nuffield Health Newcastle

Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, + 6 more

I had a really positive experience staying at Nuffield Hospital. From admission to discharge, the staff were friendly, welcoming and kind. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, reassuring and helpful, which made a big difference during surgery and early recovery. Even when things were not perfect, such as not having a post-surgery bra in my exact size and sending me home in one that was a bit too big in the cups, the care and effort from the team never wavered. They handled everything with warmth, professionalism and good humour! Overall, I felt well looked after, respected and supported and I am very grateful to the staff who made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and manageable. 💗

Mr Steven Corbett

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Steve is excellent. Personable and very professional and clearly knows his stuff. He operated on our son following a shoulder dislocation playing rugby. Throughout the process, Steve was clear with the surgical options and very thorough in his explanations, particularly understanding with the emotions of a teenager and his desperation to be back on the pitch again. He has a friendly manner and was always quick to answer extra questions we had between consultations. He did an excellent surgical job on our son and we’d have no hesitation in recommending him. We are very grateful for his care and are very pleased with the result of his expertise and handiwork. Thank you so much Steve and team.

I have had various symptoms of perimenopause over the last year or so but it came to a head a few months ago when i had a severe panic attack and seemed to develop anxiety. I am finding this difficult to cope with and the GP didn't seem to help me. I met with Dr Colquhoun and she was lovely, provided me with alot of information and advice and took me and my symptoms seriously. As a result I now have a course of action and have had HRT prescribed and a coil fitted. Whilst this is all new to me, i am feeling very positive about this plan and hopeful that I can start to feel like myself again!

Miss Kerstin Oestreich

Plastic Surgeon

I cannot speak highly enough of my surgeon. From the very first consultation through to post-operative care, she made me feel completely at ease and so well looked after. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and genuinely made me feel calm and confident throughout the whole process. I would also like to mention the wonderful team who looked after me, every single person was kind, reassuring and professional, which made such a difference. I felt supported and cared for at every stage, and I’m so grateful for the experience. Thank you all so much!!!

Dr. Haus Dermatology

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I recently had a CO₂ laser treatment at Dr. Haus, and the experience was excellent from beginning to end. At 54, I’m focused on keeping my skin healthy and firm, and this treatment was exactly what I needed. It boosted my skin’s texture, brightness, and overall vitality in a way that feels natural and refreshed—not overdone. Dr. Haus and his team were professional, caring, and incredibly reassuring throughout the process. I’m thrilled with the results and highly recommend the CO₂ treatment to anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin with real, visible improvement.

Professor Howard Branley

Respiratory Doctor

Howard is extremely articulate as well as friendly with an excellent “bedside manner”. He is very thorough in obtaining a full history that could potentially impact any diagnosis. The explanation of prognosis and any further action is extremely clear and easy to understand. He and his team are very efficient and obviously care greatly for their patients. My personal issue was a spot on my lung, which following a CT scan is likely benign, but will now be monitored going forward. The whole process was very reassuring for me.

Mr Karthik Karuppaiah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently saw Mr. Karuppaiah for surgery on my right hand due to severe Dupuytren's disease. Being aware of the potential complications listed online, I was quite nervous, but Mr. Karuppaiah’s professional demeanor and excellent bedside manner immediately put me at ease. The entire process was seamless. My recovery has been incredibly smooth; my fingers are now straight, the scar is barely visible, and I have regained full function in my hand. I am so grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend his services.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I am very happy with my first experience at the Practice today. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. It was so reassuring to be certain I was seeing an actual medically qualified person (uncertain in todays NHS) whose judgement therefore I felt I could trust. Dr Ridout was very understanding and approachable - an attentive listener, carried out an objective examination and was happy to discuss it together with why she was suggesting the proposed treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this Practice.

Mr Peter Lamb

General Surgeon

Every time I visit with Mr Lamb, I find him very pleasant, explains everything in a way that I can understand without being afraid to ask questions. Mr Lamb has done intensive testing of my conditions before making a decision on which is the best way to move forward to make sure I receive the correct and best results before doing any procedure.
