Mr Lalin Navaratne

General Surgeon

I made an appointment with Mr Navaratne at his Lindo Wing clinic in St Mary's hospital Paddington. I was looking for  a medical 'answer' to the pain I was in. I underwent a scan in an NHS hospital and was told that a hernia was ruled out which I accepted, but was very confused. Mr Navaratne diagnosed my Umbilical hernia and Diastasis recti. I cannot speak highly enough of the care I received from this appointment all the way through treatment and my Lindo wing stay. I underwent a laparoscopic repair of the umbilical hernia with correction of my diastasis recti. I was in  exceptionally skilled and compassionate professional. I was extremely anxious in my first consultation and also going into surgery, but my surgeon addressed this with remarkable patience, reassurance, and empathy. He took an interest in why I was feeling nervous and took the time to explain every detail thoroughly, answered all my questions with clarity and confidence, and made sure I felt genuinely heard and supported. His calm, reassuring presence made a massive  difference and immediately put me at ease. From a medical standpoint, his expertise is outstanding. The procedure was performed with the highest level of precision and care, demonstrating deep knowledge, advanced technical skill, and meticulous attention to detail. My recovery has been highly supported by Mr Navaratne and his team. He is truly amazing BUT  for me what sets him is the combination of exceptional surgical ability and genuine human kindness. It is rare to find a surgeon who is not only technically brilliant but also so attentive, respectful, and compassionate toward their patients. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone considering abdominal surgery. If you are looking for a surgeon who is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and truly cares about your wellbeing, you could not be in better hands.

Mr Anthony Antoniou

General Surgeon

My wife and I live in Nottinghamshire and I was referred urgently to Mr Antoniou at St Marks under the National Referral Scheme, as none of the Colorectal Consultants in the Midlands had experience of my problem or in treating it. We only waited a short time for the appointment and travelled down to London. Mr Antoniou called us into the consulting room personally and his warmth and demeanour immediately gave us total confidence in him and we knew I was in expert hands. He took time to explain the issue in detail and the proposed surgical procedure which we then discussed. Crucially, we were part of the discussion as opposed to be spoken at, which we were very grateful for. Two weeks later I was admitted to St Marks and went to Theatre where, again, Mr Antoniou was very pleasant and I felt at ease, despite the procedure I was about to undergo. When I awoke on the Ward post surgery, Mr Antoniou visited my wife and I and explained that all had gone well, again very reassuring. I have recently seen Mr Antoniou in Clinic for a 12 month check and, as ever, Mr Antoniou was friendly and welcoming and reassured us that all was well and that if I had future concerns, I should contact his secretary. I cannot commend or recommend Mr Antoniou highly enough for all aspects of the care and compassion he showed to my wife and I during a difficult time, especially being so far from home. We will be forever grateful.

Mrs Pradnya Pisal

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently visited London Gynaecology to have a coil fitted with Consultant Pradnya, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the moment I arrived, the whole team was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The new facilities are brilliant — modern, calm, and thoughtfully designed to make patients feel at ease. Pradnya herself was exceptional. I was so impressed with her expertise and depth of knowledge. She took the time to understand my medical history, my concerns, and the worries I had going into the appointment. That level of care made such a difference. The procedure itself was virtually painless, far better than I expected, and she even carried out a smear test at the same time so seamlessly that I barely noticed. Her calm, reassuring manner and clear explanations throughout made me feel completely safe and supported. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Pradnya — she was absolutely brilliant. And as for London Gynaecology, I genuinely couldn’t speak highly enough about the service they provide. I left feeling well cared for, informed, and extremely grateful for the outstanding level of care I received.

We were lucky enough to get into the appointment before our allotted time. Mr Mohammad seemed like a very nice person, but I felt very rushed, I wasn’t shown the MRI scan, The situation was not explained to us in depth,just offered options of an injection or surgery involving “metal work” which scared me somewhat. So I chose the injection as seemed a less scary choice to start with. We were told this would be put forward, then we left , all taking about five minutes, not really very reassuring. Hopefully I may get another chance for someone to explain what the operation with the “ metal work” would involve. So I would feel more confident with what needs to be done

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I had a knee replacement and had a reaction to the anaesthetic which resulted in me having to spend several days in bed vomiting copiously. The staff were so supportive and caring; the nurses couldn’t help enough, the porters, physios, catering staff and cleaning crew were good natured , helpful and thorough. Since arriving home I have had numerous phone conversations with Horder staff, who have been reassuring and helpful with my recovery.

I am extremely grateful to Dr Eka for the outstanding care given to my dad. Dr Eka was exceptionally knowledgeable and reassuring and took the time to provide tailored care. He went above and beyond to ensure my dad was well looked after and clearly explained the plan going forward, which gave our whole family great reassurance. A genuinely dedicated and compassionate doctor. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Thank you.

Mr Will Poole

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I felt in good hands when having my hip replacement operation and was was very well looked after before and after the operation. My one criticism was that ,having met my consultant the day after the operation, the following up meeting was 7 weeks after the day of the operation. An earlier meeting after , say, 4 or 5 weeks , would have been very beneficial .

Sussex Wellman Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing

Dr David is very professional and extremely knowledgeable on testosterone and men’s health. He offers a personal service face to face service which suits me. I’m so glad I have started treatment with him. I feel safe, well looked after and so much better physically and mentally! Also much cheaper than using the big online companies.

Dr Shanthi Paramothayan

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Paramothayan was very detailed and diligent in her explanation of the causes of my condition and the path she put me on ended nearly two years of very unpleasant lung difficulties. She was particularly good at following up on interventions and maintaining contact with me to ensure my return to health had been sustained.

Mr Thomas L Kersey

Ophthalmologist

I had been to another consultant but had had a bad experience so was grateful to receive a recommendation from a friend to see Tom Kersey. He, and all his staff, were delightful. Very helpful, accommodating and generally caring. Especially if you are nervous, the whole team do nothing but care for you and your needs.

We have had a long and painful IVF journey. Staff at Next Fertility Nordic have been kind and empathetic, and very professional. The medical treatment was perfect and the customer service also very good. They helped us find an egg donor that led to us having our son. We highly recommend them to everyone.

Mr Eugene Omakobia

ENT Surgeon

Mr Omakobia rang me at the designated time and we talked about the nasal spray he had prescribed and it's efficacy. We then discussed him carrying out a procedure that hopefully will remedy my problems. He said the hospital will contact me at some time in the near future with a date. All very good.

Mr Pranai Buddhdev

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Buddhdev is a great asset to the hospital. He is a listener and he pays attention to details making sure the necessary tests and scans are done for my daughter I am happy that we have been referred to him. My daughter feels better with her sclerosis. Many thanks to Mr Buddhdev
