Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I recently had bilateral cataract surgery. From start to finish the treatment I received was excellent. The patient liaison manager was really helpful, friendly, incredibly supportive and a welcome calming influence. I was amazed by the state of the art optical equipment that was available to ensure that my lenses were perfectly suited to the dimensions of my eyes and my prescription, as well as the care that the technicians took while taking the measurements. The optometrists I saw were caring and informative, ensuring that I knew about the different types of intra ocular lenses available and what I may expect from them. They carried out my eye tests with care and patience. The eye surgeon was incredibly experienced and very skilled, and carried out the procedure very efficiently with great care. Now, six weeks post-surgery, I am very grateful of the care I received and the quality and clarity of my lenses; both aspects easily surpassed all my expectations. I would highly recommend Freedom Vision, Chelmsford to anyone considering cataract surgery.

Mr Seb Sturridge

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had been advised against the op by friends and family due to questionable social media reels regarding the potential for things to go wrong and the low level of concern for the individual. I know today that if I had not done it my life would look very bleak in just a couple of years. I had prepared for a general anaesthetic but was happily surprised with the epidural and local injections. I clearly underestimated the intrusion and how much I needed to take regular medication afterwards. I also needed to top up with more medicine after 3 weeks. I’ve am also very grateful for the care and focus on making the scar so neat and the limited damage caused around the knee. I hardly brushed at all. A good physio and movement is key. 6 weeks after the op I can drive a manual and walk with no crutches.

Mr David Muthuveloe

Urologist

I have been under the care of Mr Muthuveloe for several years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first appointment, he has always listened carefully, taken my symptoms seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. He explains things clearly, never rushes appointments, and makes sure I fully understand my condition and treatment options. Managing long-term and complex health issues can be overwhelming, but having a consultant who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my care has made an enormous difference. I always feel supported and reassured after appointments. He is an exceptional clinician and a credit to his profession. I am extremely grateful to be under his care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a urologist

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I spent hour and a quarter talking in detail about my symptoms as an adult and what I could remember from my childhood I was then told that whilst I reached the threshold for adult ADHD, I did not reach the threshold for childhood ADHD. I was told I did not have ADHD whilst showing some symptoms. We discussed for a further ten minutes about the fact that I had some difficulty understanding why I needed to reach the threshold for a neurodivergent condition as a child in order to receive some help as an adult with threshold symptoms. I accepted the findings with some disappointment that I was not going to get help but at least it was suggested that I return to my GP for a different referral

Kingsbridge Diagnostic and Treatment Centre

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 4 more

Reception staff were very helpful both on arrival and when leaving the centre. The medical staff were very knowledgeable & took time to explain everything that would be part of the procedures. The doctor and his team of nurses worked very well together, a well run team. I liked the idea that a nurse remained beside me throughout all the procedures, explaining things as they happened. The recovery room nurse was very attentive and very helpful in her explanation of the printouts following the procedures. The discharge staff in the discharge waiting room provided a very welcome cup of tea and a slice of toast. I had been fasting for over 24 hours by that stage.

Mr Ankur Shah

General Surgeon

Mr A J Shah is a highly skilled and knowledgeable surgeon who carried out my inguinal hernia repair. The whole experience proved positive, commencing from initial consultation stage through to surgery and my final clinic appointment before being discharged into the care of my GP. He was professional and approachable and took time to explain the procedure in great detail whilst listening very carefully to my own concerns. I would highly recommend Mr A J Shah and his team for the expertise, compassion and excellent patient care I received throughout the process and was extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery.

Mr Ahmed Hamouda

General Surgeon

My experience whilst in the care of Mr. Hamouda has been outstanding. He is a positive, confident and experienced surgeon / consultant who put me at ease, listened to my understandable concerns and immediately took decisive steps to meet my needs. The whole process, from initial contact on the phone to discharge from the ward took approximately 8 weeks - superb! I have been given guidance and advice at every step; clear outlining of the diagnosis, the proposed procedure and the post surgery support available. All the staff I have met, whatever their role, have been encouraging, pleasant and professional.

Dr Animesh Singh

Rheumatologist

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Singh. I had one initial consultation and one follow-up visit, and both were very positive. The waiting time was less than three minutes on both occasions. Dr. Singh took the time to ask detailed questions about my medical history, arranged thorough investigations, and explained everything very clearly. I was also informed in detail about the prognosis and the plan for future follow-ups. I felt well cared for and reassured throughout the process.

Dr Rakesh Panchal

Respiratory Doctor

I first consulted Dr Panchal in the autumn of 2022 when I was experiencing respiratory distress. He very quickly diagnosed my symptoms and created a care plan, which brought my condition under control. Recently I had an exasperation of my condition so consulted him again. He allayed my fears and explained the next steps in a comprehensive and compassionate manner. Dr Panchal listens to his patients concerns, explains the diagnosis and involves you in your treatment.

Mr Tommy Chan

Podiatrist

I felt very safe and supported throughout my experience. I have every confidence in Mr Chan and his team. Mr Chan kept me fully informed even during my procedure when he had to perform an extra procedure for the best possible outcome. I feel he went "above and beyond" as did his colleagues. My grateful thanks to all.

Dr. Qutayba Almerie

General Surgeon

I was undecided about having my gallbladder removed or just removing the gall stone. Dr Almerie read my notes and explained why removing the gallbladder is the best option for me because of my previous symptoms and treatment. Dr Almerie helped me to understand my options and to make the decision for myself. Thank you

I have always had a good experience at the Shard and have been going there for many years for various conditions. The staff is very friendly. Despite the fact that it is a busy place, they remember patients and will spare the time for a chat when they can.
