Spire Elland Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 2 more

Overall, Spire Elland was great and I would happily return should I require any further procedures in the future. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and everything is very clean. I think the main thing letting the hospital down is patient communication. All appointments and comms are recorded and delivered via an app. If you don't want to or aren't able to download the app (like me), you do end up being left a little in the dark about things. For example, I had been given a surgery date fairly soon after my initial consultation, which was great, however I hadn't been informed that there would be multiple pre-operative assessment appointments to attend - all of which were on-site at Spire Elland, which is around an hour's drive for us. On one occasion, I had to make last-minute arrangements to move clients around as I'd been unaware of an upcoming appointment - I'd received no email, no text, no phone call, no letter. I just so happened to log in to my online portal and find the appointment date there. I moved clients around so I could attend, and just a couple of days before my appointment received a text message to say the date had changed, with no explanation provided. I called to try and find out why this might be, but was met with a dismissive reply of, "We just had to move it". All of the documents outlining the process for my surgery and the prep I should do beforehand were provided online, and the online portal isn't the simplest to navigate, so accessing them wasn't as easy as it could have been. When I was admitted for my day surgery, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, although I did find that I received a blunt reply whenever I asked a question about anything. This was my first ever surgery and my first time being put under general anaesthetic, so naturally I was quite nervous. Some of the members of staff were very helpful and supportive, but others seemed to have little patience, which wasn't ideal and only served to make me more anxious. When I came to after the surgery, I had been expecting to have a bit of a handover with someone so I could at least find out how it had gone and what they had/hadn't found. Unfortunately, Mr Gan was occupied in another surgery, and so I was discharged before having the chance to speak to him. I asked the nurses for some clarification - any brief notes or insights they might be able to give to put my mind at ease a bit until I could speak with Mr Gan - but this was met with quite curt replies. I was told no one could read Mr Gan's handwriting so no one could tell me any information, which at the time was quite frustrating as I'd been dealing with the pain for so long and had viewed the laparoscopy as the light at the end of the tunnel. It was disheartening to leave the hospital without any real clarification of the issue. Now having had my final follow-up with Mr Gan, I can say with confidence that all of my questions have been answered, and I feel validated and supported as a patient. However, I can't help but feel that had the communication from the hospital team been a little better throughout the process, it wouldn't have been so frustrating to wake up after the surgery and find that no one could tell me how it had gone.

Mr Ahmed-Ramadan Sadek

Neurosurgeon

For two years, I experienced persistent problems with my legs that significantly affected my daily life. Activities I once enjoyed, such as going to the gym and taking long walks, became impossible due to constant pain and soreness. I also began to feel unsteady on escalators and could not sit comfortably on my legs. Despite repeatedly seeking help, I was told my symptoms were likely caused by stress or perimenopause. However, I strongly felt there was an underlying issue that had not yet been identified. Eventually, I decided to seek private medical care and booked an appointment with Dr Sadek after reading his biography and feeling confident in his expertise. From our first meeting, Dr Sadek demonstrated exceptional professionalism. He listened attentively to my concerns, took my symptoms seriously, and made me feel respected, reassured, and genuinely cared for. His approach was compassionate and thorough, and I immediately felt that I was in capable hands. Within two months, after conducting detailed investigations and diagnostic tests, Dr Sadek identified that the root cause of my symptoms was related to my veins. He explained the findings clearly and recommended a straightforward procedure to address the problem. Following the treatment, my recovery was remarkable. I am now able to return to my normal activities without pain or discomfort, something I had feared might never be possible again. What stood out most was the way Dr Sadek treated me as a person, not just a patient. He never dismissed my concerns and remained supportive and persistent in finding the correct diagnosis and solution. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care made a profound difference in my life. Thanks to his professionalism and commitment, I have regained my mobility, confidence, and quality of life. I am deeply grateful for his guidance and support throughout my journey.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

Considering i am a private patient very Dissapointed. 1. I was contacted after making the initial appointment asking where i had my MRI scans. I gave the lady all details only to be contacted again the next day stating they could'nt locate them. I then gave them more comprehensive details and was assured if any issues i would be contacted. I attended the practice for the consultation on 27/11/25 only to be told by Mr. Bacon we could not proceed as he did not have my scans. I proceeded to to ask for the pre med tests during which an anneasatist was very rude to me because unfortunatly i have a needle phobea. 2. Prior to the operation i rang to ask that during the operation day is there somewhere for my partner[ ie. in the ward room etc] and informed yes. She was informed on arrival at 6.30am with me that she was not allowed on the ward until 6pm . We had travelled 80miles to the hospital that day. If we had been informed prior too alternatve arrangements could have been made for her.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 18 more

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Paul Tierney and the care I received during my recent visit to Spire Hospital Bristol. From the very first consultation, Mr Tierney was the consummate professional — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. During what was a challenging and uncertain time, he looked after my overall wellbeing exceptionally well, not just addressing the clinical issues but also ensuring I felt informed, reassured, and supported throughout my recovery. His communication was clear, thorough, and easy to understand at every stage, which made a huge difference to my confidence and peace of mind. I always felt listened to, never rushed, and completely confident that I was in expert hands. I am extremely grateful for the care, professionalism, and humanity shown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Tierney to anyone seeking outstanding medical care

Newmedica Grimsby

Ophthalmology

Mum was almost blind wearing really thick glasses, and couldn't see at all without them. She had a few complications with her eyes but Dr Stewart and team endeavoured to give her as much sight back as possible, even if just slight. After her cataracts surgery on the 'good' eye, she is like a new woman. At nearly 78yrs old, mum doesn't need to wear her glasses for the first time since she was young. She can see clearer and further away. Close up is still difficult but we trust that after both eyes are done, and potentially glasses again with alot less prescription, she will be able to see so much better. She's had no pain or anything. The drs were brilliant and we can't thank them enough. This is the best thing to have happened to mum who was petrified to get her eyes done. She says he is the best Dr I have ever seen and I'm so happy.

Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic, Cambridge

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I had a Teams meeting today with Angela about my nutrition, as I’m looking for ways to gain weight. She was completely non judgemental, incredibly warm, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole conversation. She never made me feel bad about my eating habits and was very kind and understanding in the way she worked with me. She gave me really sound advice and clear, practical feedback on how I can improve things going forward, particularly around healthy weight gain. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the meeting. I half expected to be told to cut out lots of foods and start eating things I didn’t like but instead, she took the time to understand what I like and don’t like to eat. Overall, she was extremely helpful, supportive, and approachable, and I genuinely appreciated the session. I thought she was great.

Dr. Mohssen Chabok

Cardiologist

My first consultation with Dr Chabok was in April 2025. He performed an angiography in May, and rather than putting a stent in at the time of the angiography, explained the two options that I had for further treatment. He was of the opinion that a bypass was a better long term solution for me and recommended the surgeon that did the procedure in June. My last follow up consultation was a few days ago. I found Dr Chabok to be very polite, patient, sympathetic and articulate. He answered all my questions in a clear understandable manner. I am fortunate that I have a cardiologist that I will always refer to, and recommend him whole heartedly. Pun intended.

Dr Dexter Wiseman

Respiratory Doctor

Extremely punctual- no wait at all. Welcoming, personable, thorough in line of enquiry and clear in providing explanation and plotting the way forward and clarifying expectations for me, the patient. In short, a faultless professional. As someone who has consistently enjoyed high quality service from NHS professionals in a wide variety of medical premises over many years, this experience still stood out as exceptional. (Also, excellent coffee and ham and cheese toasty in hospital canteen served by cheerful and welcoming catering staff.)

Sonoworld Diagnostic Services

Imaging (Scans), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I honestly couldn't thank Daniela enough! She has done my scans for many years now and has always been clear, transparent and informative. I am usually an anxious person and she has always made the process easy and smooth. I accidentally booked another place for a scan a few years ago and the experience I received traumatised me until I went back to Daniela. I couldn't recommend her enough and genuinely trust her with all my scans. Daniela is great at her job, is honest and provides a very high level of service. 5 stars as always.

Professor Ranjit Akolekar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Professor Akolekar has been amazing during our pregnancy and visits to the clinic. His attention to detail in scans is fantastic, and he always takes the time to explain what everything means so we feel fully informed on our baby’s development. Professor Akolekar has really taken time to go over my worries and check my concerns , which has given me so much peace of mind. I feel completely reassured that everything will be checked and we will be able to make the best informed decisions for the safe delivery of our baby.

Miss Dana Touqmatchi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Throughout my pregnancy and delivery, Dana was always extremely kind, positive and reassuring. During the delivery of my baby, she always made me feel supported and empowered to make decisions with as much information and time as I needed. Any time I had an issue or concern, Dana was very attentive and quick to respond, this gave me so much peace of mind during my pregnancy and when I had some postnatal concerns. I recommend Dana without hesitation to all my close friends and family, we will be back for our next baby!

I have always found Mr McLaughlin-Symon very pleasant, professional and easy to talk to. I value his opinions and advice.

On this occasion, he was also able to advise me regarding another issue, which will need treatment.

Mr Hassan Elhassan

I visited Mr Elhassan following a questionable experience with another ENT that insisted I needed surgery. Mr Elhassan immediately put my fears at bay. He checked me thoroughly, reviewed my scans and explained everything in very simple language - including confirmation that surgery was absolutely not needed. He has an excellent bedside manner and makes visits to him very pleasant.
