I had my first consultant appointment yesterday, regarding a hernia condition that was flagged by an NHS consultant earlier this year. I saw Dr Richard Novell. In the lead-up to the appointment, I had managed to get the referral paperwork, but no scan imagery. On meeting Dr Novell, he informed me that scans were useless anyway for Hernia diagnosis, and he then proceeded to examine me. After this, he told me that I didn’t have a hernia, when I asked about the fact that another specialist had examined me and thought differently, he agreed that doctors tend to give different answers. My issue, is not that he dosen’t agree with another consultants opinion (as well as the person who conducted Ultrasound) but that I am currently in pain, which is harming the quality of my life, and when asked about next steps to resolve this, he had nothing to offer, when pushed he offered to speak to a colleage for a second opinion. So in terms of empathy, it's pretty frustrating, and I have to be honest, it's a complete waste of time from my perspective.

I can’t recommend Mr. Richard Scawn highly enough. Before meeting him, I had seen three other surgeons and even booked the operation twice but ended up cancelling because I didn’t feel fully confident. From my very first appointment with Richard, everything felt different. He was calm, kind, and incredibly reassuring — never pushy, never rushed — and both my husband and I instantly felt we were in safe hands. I trusted him completely, and I’m so glad I did. I’m now three weeks post–lower lid blepharoplasty and absolutely over the moon with the results. My bruising was minimal and disappeared quickly, and the scar line is genuinely impeccable. I’m 39, so my skin is still fairly young, but even with a magnifying mirror I cannot see the incision. The work Richard has done is truly amazing. If you’re considering this surgery, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Richard Scawn. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or the outcome.

Professor Jian Farhadi

Plastic Surgeon

Professor Farhadi performed a thigh flap breast reconstruction for me two years ago, and a follow up nipple reconstruction with fat transfer a year ago. While this is a more complex surgery with longer recovery than some, I couldn't be happier with the result. The breast feels and looks completely natural, and is a perfect match for my natural breast. The scar on my thigh has faded completely and is positioned in a way that is unnoticeable. I trust Professor Farhadi completely. He performed by original reconstruction in 2012, which was an implant that also looked great but unfortunately ruptured ten years later due to long term effects from radio therapy. There was no question in my mind of using another surgeon for the follow up procedure. He is a perfectionist and has an excellent eye. He also explains everything very clearly, which helped me make the decision for which route to take both times.

I just wanted to say how absolutely thrilled I am to be consulting with your clinic for so many reasons. From the wonderful ladies on reception to the nurses, to Hazel, and of course to Dr Alice Thomas, I finally feel that I am in control of my health and my hormones — and that I’m no longer alone in my menopause journey. Since coming to the clinic over the past year, having my bloods checked regularly, and working closely with Dr Thomas, I feel I’m in a much healthier place physically, mentally, and hormonally. I’m genuinely hopeful about my health continuing to improve. Thank you for your professionalism and for having such a thoughtful, attentive team. Even the small details — like the way appointments are handled and how the doctors read through previous notes before I arrive — make such a difference. I truly appreciate it.

Deia Health

General Practice (GP)

I have been receiving help from Dr Lafina Diamandis for my ongoing medical issues for some time now. Honestly, Dr Diamandis has been very caring and helpful. She's relentless in trying to find the solution and the right help for me, going over and beyond just to help me. Even if all other ideas fail, she always tries to find another way, not giving up on me. I travel miles to London to see Dr Lafina Diamandis because she is a breath of fresh air, and very worth of my time to see someone like her who is passionate about their job and cares about her patience. I couldn't thank her enough for her help and support. Words can't fully capture it; I'm forever grateful for Dr Lafina's help.

Our family has been patients of various members of the team at the Forbury Clinic for over 10 years. Something has changed in the past year, rather than feeling like you are listened to and being cared for it now feels much more like a business akin so a sausage factory. In and out the door as quickly as possible, barely space for questions and little to no bedside manner. It feels like profit over patients. The remainder of our appointment yesterday was in a stair well being led downstairs after being shunted from room to room. With a teenage that is appalling. They find it hard to ask questions in an environment like that.

I came in to see Urja after experiencing months of tightness in the body. I also had a chest infection a couple months before and it left me with a lot of tightness in my chest/lungs and I wasn’t able to breathe at full capacity. Immediately after my session, my body felt like it was 99% back to baseline and I could take a full deep breath again. Emotionally, I also felt so much more free and relieved. You get so much more than just physio with Urja. It’s a complete mind, body, soul healing experience.

I have had the pleasure of having a number of physiotherapy sessions with Seth Chambers at the Raynes Park branch of Pure Sport Medicine. Unquestionably he is one of the kindest and most brilliant professionals I have ever encountered. He has gone above and beyond what I could ever have expected from a physiotherapist. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done for me and couldn’t recommend him highly enough - both as a phenomenal physio and also an amazing human being.

Mr Max Whittaker

ENT Surgeon

Dr. Max Whittaker is an excellent surgeon whose results speak for themselves. The surgery to repair my perforated eardrum was a complete success. Being able to swim again without fear of pain, further damage, or hearing loss is an incredible gift, for which I am deeply grateful. His expertise, combined with a hands-on, practical approach and genuine care, made all the difference. Thank you, Dr. Whittaker.

Dr Sreelakshmi Kotha

I saw Dr Kotha about a raised ferritin level. Her exceptional knowledge and expertise had me reassured and feeling more clear within minutes of being with her. I couldn’t have found her to be a more friendly, welcoming and helpful professional. She is kind and lovely lady. I would recommend her highly.

Miss Cheema was very thorough with my investigations and determined to help relieve my symptoms. She ensured a follow up appointment after each treatment to see how things were going/if the problem had resolved. I felt comfortable and listened too and at ease with explaining my ongoing problem
