Dr. Sebastian Zeki

Gastroenterologist

I was referred to Dr Zeki by my gynaecologist for bloating / distension. My GP had previously run coeliac blood tests which were negative, and I had been on a gluten free diet since then. Dr Zeki told me he didn’t think I was coeliac, but still pushed me to eat gluten for a gastroscopy. I asked him for help managing symptoms while eating gluten and he replied that’s up to patients to manage. He said I “didn’t seem bothered” - I’m unsure why I’d be paying to see him if I wasn’t. He said my previous pelvic MRI was sufficient for bowel imaging. After the gastroscopy, I told him I remembered being awake for part of it despite sedation and he just shrugged. He told me he could send the biopsy results without / before a follow up appointment, but his secretary argued with me when I asked her. The gastroscopy found mild oesophagitis which he said he didn’t recommend surgery for me, but then kept offering me surgery anyway despite my not having symptoms and not being what I was there for. He said I had IBS and wanted me to do the low FODMAP diet, and that this would also be the treatment for any SIBO. I asked him the success rates and he told me not to think like that. I told him I’d had issues around food before (my previous GP had advised me not to try the low FODMAP diet or gluten challenge because of this) and he said to do it anyway. I asked him what to do if it didn’t help, and he shrugged and said I could come back if I wanted to. I asked him which particular dietitians he referred to; he laughed and replied that he knows I like googling people, and said he’d write the two names in the letter, which he then didn’t. He told me to take nortriptyline PRN for pain. I questioned him on this (my other doctors were also confused when I later told them) and asked him to write it in the clinic letter, where he then omitted the PRN. He said I didn’t need my morphine prescription - which was for gynae pain not gastro, and has since been resolved. I do understand that opioids can have gastro effects, but this was not discussed. He brought up my gynaecologist’s referral letter to a pain consultant (which was also requested by my CNS and GP) and said it was “overkill”. I’d had two broken nights’ sleep, skipped breakfast and cried in the waiting room due to gynae pain. He said we would see if it was gastro or gynae pain, when those symptoms were quite clearly gynaecological. The dietitians at the hospital were about twice the rate at other locations so I saw an external registered dietitian specialising in IBS. She said she didn’t think my symptoms were IBS or diet related and referred me to a different gastro, in addition to starting the low FODMAP diet as Dr Zeki had requested. The diet made no difference to my symptoms. The new gastro wanted to do a colonoscopy, small bowel MRI, and SIBO test, and if these came back negative she would refer me to a neurogastro. I was then diagnosed with abdominophrenic dyssynergia and told I did not currently have IBS as I did not meet the diagnostic criteria. I have started treatment for APD and my symptoms are now improving. I’m unsure why Dr Zeki lists IBS as a special interest when he seemed completely uninterested in it.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

As soon as I got there I was encouraged to relax, when i went in to the theatre for my procedure the nurses Lissy Jacob and Sue Gatrell made me feel very relaxed and explained how to take the gas and air, then Mr Farrukh Khan the consultant explained in detail what he was about to do. Op went well only a slight bit of pain so quick puff of gas helped. Passed on to recovery nurse who's name i didn't get but she was very good checking me over and making me laugh before discharging me. WOULD SAY ANYONE HAVING TO GO HERE WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER.

Transform Health

Physiotherapy

I had a really positive experience with this pain management therapy service. From the first appointment, I felt listened to and taken seriously. The practitioner took the time to understand my symptoms, lifestyle, and history. Every session felt tailored to how I was describing the issues were. I’ve noticed a real improvement, not only in my pain levels but also in my mobility and overall day-to-day comfort. I also came away with practical advice and exercises to help manage things between sessions, which has made a big difference.

My second visit to Clinic and Dr James Thing. This time for issues with ankle. Dr Thing asked questions regarding the ankle and a few exercises to ascertain problem areas and carried out ultra sound and explained this to me. Best option forward was injection which was pain free and advice on what to watch out for etc. Also recommended a follow up with podiatrist at portobello too. Great service for start to finish special mention to Luvena who was most helpful and professional.

Mr Reshid Berber

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Berber as always listened, was very clear in what he was saying and what he had done. He always checked i understood everything or if i had any questions. The examition was thorough and he explained what he was doing and what he found. What the next steps could be if i needed them but i have never felt pushed into any treatment. Mr Berber has always shown compassion to what i was going through and never dismissed anything i said or was feeling.

Dr Debi Ray

Paediatrician

As soon as I met Dr Ray I felt my son was in the very best hands. After seeing several local doctors in Norfolk that were unable to help, we travelled to London to see Dr Ray. After seeing my son for a few moments I could see she understood his problem and was our best chance to make him better. Her calm and friendly manner made both my son and myself feel relaxed and that she cared.

Mr Praminthra Chitsabesan

General Surgeon

I met with Mr Chitsabesan on the 12 Feb 2026. I talked him through my history of the issues I have been having he examined me and then he talked through we he thinks is going on. We then discussed what the best form of action would be and he gave me some exercises and advice for certain scenarios. He then said we will meet again in a couple of months to discuss how it’s going.
