Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was referred to Newmedica Newcastle for eye cataract surgery by my optician. I had my first eye surgery done in September, and my second eye done in December. I received excellent service from all the Newmedica colleagues whenever I visited; for my pre-surgery consultation, the surgeries themselves, and the post-surgery visits. Those working on the reception were friendly and made me feel welcome. The waiting area was clean and tidy, with hot drinks available. The colleagues who did the testing, pre-surgery administration, and post-surgery follow up checks were all very knowledgeable. They took me through the surgery preparations, explaining the process as they went, putting me at ease and answering any questions. After surgery they made sure I was aware of what I needed to do over the following three weeks to ensure my eyes healed completely. The surgical team were very proficient, and I felt I was in safe hands. The procedure was explained at every step, putting me at ease. The consultant for my first procedure was Nicholas Wride. The procedure itself took just under 3 minutes, which I had not expected, as internet searches indicated it would take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. I was so impressed and, as I was told I could have the same consultant for the cataract removal procedure on my second eye, I didn’t hesitate to ask for Nicholas Wride again. My second procedure was equally as expertly performed, and this time took 3 minutes 20 seconds. There was no pain during the procedures and only very slight discomfort straight afterwards. Other than the pain relief eye drops that were put in for the surgical procedure, I didn’t need to take any painkillers at all. The hardest part for me was remembering to use the post-surgery eye drops the clinic provided, as my eyes felt that good. Three weeks after surgery, I attended the clinic for post-surgery follow up checks. I was signed off from the clinic after the follow up check on my second eye. My vision is now excellent, and I only need to use reading glasses for small print. Before the surgery I wore varifocal lens glasses at all times. I wasn’t expecting the improvements in my sight to be quite so good, so I’m pleased I took up the opportunity to have my cataracts removed and really pleased that it was Newmedica Newcastle who did the procedures and looked after me and my sight so well. Thank you Newmedica!

The Harborne Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

I had a really positive experience at The Harborne Hospital. I was greeted warmly on arrival and was actually seen before my appointment time, which was very much appreciated. My consultant Mr Leung truly listened to me and took the time to understand the full picture of how I’ve been feeling. He was extremely thorough, and for the first time in a long while, I left feeling hopeful — hopeful not only that my pain can be better managed, but also that I may finally get a clear diagnosis of what is actually happening to me. I really appreciated how carefully and thoughtfully everything was explored. Every member of staff I met was kind, professional, and supportive. The level of care and compassion shown throughout my visit was outstanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this service.

Lucio Health

Diagnostics & Testing, Holistic Therapy, + 1 more

Dr Hari and the team are truly amazing and we couldn’t imagine our journey without them at every step of the way. Their level of service is unparalleled, cancer throws you curve balls constantly and at random times and we’ve been desperate for expert advice and I always get a reply promptly and even out of hours. We wanted to add in re purposed meds to our chemo regime with someone guiding us for safety and not following random internet protocols. Highly recommending Dr Hari and Lucio Health doesn’t even get near to the feelings I have for this team. Simply outstanding.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

This was my 2 nd cataract op with Mr Kamran Khan at Newmedica Leeds. I was very happy with my treatment with everyone especially Wr Kamran Khan who I can’t recommend enough, he was friendly, assuring and also the lovely nurse who looked after me after my op. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was so caring. Anyone going for a cararact op this place is brilliant and everyone I came in contact with both times I was there I feel I couldn’t have had better. Someone calls you the following day to check that you are okay so everything perfect. Thank you all.

Clarity - Coventry

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

From the moment I first arrived, everyone was friendly and welcoming. As the treatment progressed, the friendliness continued with the further use of very impressive analytical machinery each with a specific purpose. This was followed by a very informative chat with the the surgeon, Mr. Mazen Tahhan, who provided me with the information to aid my decision. The actual treatment followed a few days later and was completely painless. A week later, I was given a 100% success rating and an appointment for my second eye. This was a similar experience.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

the appointment for my adhd assessment was online so I can’t comment on the cleaness of the office. The difficult part of this process was trying to keep track of the forms and how many questions you had to answer on a form without being able to save as you go along or being able to print them off and take your time to remember the examples. It would be great to have a checklist on screen that showed which forms you had completed and which ones were still left to do. The assessor put me at ease, she explained everything clearly.

Mr Tahir Mahmud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I’ve been a cyclist and runner all of my life so was devastated when I started to experience serious knee pain early in 2025. After having repairs on both knees carried out by Mr Mahmud and his team in back fell running and in the saddle riding again. Skiing is arranged for the end on January and a long distance cycle ride later this year. I can’t thank Mr Mahmud and his team more as their skill and professionalism has allowed me to remain active into my late 60s. Thank you

Dr Shilpa Davé Private GP Surgery - Teddington

General Practice (GP)

I booked in for routine bloods and a health MOT. As a “free bus pass” holder I strongly believe regular blood tests and health checks are essential in monitoring any health issues and picking up potential problems before they cause symptoms. I think that we should be more proactive with health rather than reactive . Dr Shilpa Davé and her amazing team are fully engaged in providing a holistic approach to healthcare.

Dr Turab Syed

Dr Syed is an excellent orthopaedic consultant with a tremendous breadth of expertisein his field.. On my visit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital he explained my condition with clarity in line with my own knowledge. He explained options on my therapy and provided further intervention which will hopefully alleviate my symptoms. I am very grateful to Dr Syed whom I consider an invaluable ally to maintain my good health.

Mr Kanai Garala

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From the very beginning, Mr Garala has been very professional with clear explanations and fantastic support. Mr Garala came to see me after my hip replacement surgery in the evening which was a lovely touch. By 10 days I didn't need a stick and at 5 weeks I did a 5km sponsored walk. I have done my 1st bootcamp class and spin session at 6 weeks and am due to start full training next week.

Dr Muhammed A Ottayil

Paediatrician

Dr Ottayil was brilliant, he had a very friendly and relaxed manner, listening to my daughter very carefully about her migraines and life. She felt confident to talk about her physical and mental health circumstances. We appreciated that Dr Ottayil explained a plan and proposed medication to us both. She came away confident and reassured about her condition. We were very impressed.

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.

Mr Salil Achyut Umranikar

Urologist

Our son was very nervous going in to his appointment but Mr Umranikar instantly made him feel at ease and concentrated on talking directly to him (rather than us) about other subjects and made him feel relaxed. He was so friendly; and very informative when discussing the issues with us.
