The admissions brochure fails to state that family members are not allowed to stay with patients during the pre-operative wait. This is a significant omission, as it creates avoidable anxiety for patients who are already nervous about their procedure and are only informed of this restriction upon arrival. The pre-op nurses showed poor bedside manner when I asked about this. Instead of offering reassurance, they quoted “hospital policy” and then gave reasons that felt dismissive and inaccurate — for example, claiming that “too many people come in and out of rooms,” when in reality only one nurse completed paperwork, followed later by the surgeon and anaesthetist. I was also told I would be going to theatre “shortly,” even though I knew (correctly) that I would be waiting another 1.5 hours. My family member could easily have stayed with me during that entire period, as is standard in the Ulster Independent Clinic and in my previous NHS experiences. The lack of engagement from the pre-op nurse beyond basic paperwork questions made the situation feel even more uncomfortable. The pods themselves felt more like small, bare cells than a calming space prior to surgery — no TV, no artwork, just two chairs and a table. It was far from a soothing environment. In contrast, the theatre staff and post-op nurses were outstanding. They were friendly, proactive, and reassuring, and they made up for the negative pre-operative experience. One final issue: the staff arranging my discharge medication did not check my notes and prescribed a medication I am unable to take. Because the pharmacy had already closed, the only solution was to remove it from the prescription entirely.

Mr Michael Stellakis

General Surgeon

I noticed one morning an egg shaped lump in my groin area after a hard indoor climbing session and knew immediately I'd torn something and suspected a hernia. A quick Google search of local Hernia surgeons came up with one name in particular, Mr Michael Stellakis, I paid privately for a consultation and the resulting examination involving extremely thorough online tutorials of what is and what contributes to a Hernia left me with no doubt I'd made the correct decision in seeking Mr Stellakis's opinion and my options going forward. Several weeks later I underwent a Bilateral laproscoic Hernia repair. From the initial consultation through to the surgery and the aftercare, every step was dealt with, with complete and utter professionalism that I'd heard about from the Warwickshire Bowel and Hernia Centre. I walked out of the Hospital later the same day as the surgery, 3-4 weeks later I'm back climbing as good as, if not stronger than before the Injury, Simply incredible experience from start to finish. Thank you so much, Mr Michael Stellakis and your wonderful team. Kindest Regards, Aston Woon.

Happy Kids Dental Hammersmith

Dentistry

We’ve been seeing Dr. Amar at Happy Kids Dental in Hammersmith with both of our children, and he has been absolutely amazing every single time. He’s kind, professional, patient, and always knows how to make kids feel relaxed and safe — even when they were a bit scared at first! Unfortunately, both of our kids had a few cavities, but thanks to Dr. Amar’s gentle and caring approach, they got through all the treatments without fear or stress — and now they actually look forward to seeing the dentist! 🦷💛 A huge thank you to Dr. Amar for his incredible care and kindness. Also a big shout-out to the reception team and nurses — they’re always so lovely, welcoming, and patient. My kids adore them! Honestly, the whole team at Happy Kids Dental is just amazing. Highly, highly recommended! 🌟 Mum of Patrik and Lilien👋🏻

Transform Health

Physiotherapy

I have had an excellent experience with Neil and the Transform Health team. From the first phone call the team were friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Neil took the time to understand my specific needs and created a personalized treatment plan that has really worked. After just a few sessions, I have noticed a huge improvement in my mobility and pain levels. After previously being told I will always have pain and may need to think about changing my career, Neil has shown me how to manage and treat my pain, allowing me to continue working the job I love. I highly recommend Transform Health to anyone looking for effective, professional, and compassionate care.

Ms Laura Ismail

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

dr ismail is one of the best doctors i have ever seen. I am mid 20s and I feel previous doctors have dismissed my symptoms [abnormal bleeding, pain and others] but dr ismail really listens to what i say. she has diagnosed me with pcos and noticed other irregularities that caused my symptoms and is working on treating them, making sure I understand everything as we go along. she is very knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely cares about patients rather than just solving the problem. she has really helped me and also is reassuring and makes me feel calm. could not recommend more if you are looking for a smart, caring, dedicated doctor.

Mr Jeremy Hoffman

Ophthalmologist

Everyone in the Eye department at Stoke Mandeville and Wycombe Hospitals were amazing - sympathetic , patient and knowledgable. The swift attention and correct medication that I received has, I’m certain, helped me to preserve the sight that I need for my profession. Thank you so much. I was very fortunate to be treated by Consultant Jeremy Hoffman. He made time to answer all my questions, had a wonderful manner and is clearly one of the most qualified and expert specialists in this field. I hope to never have a repeat of a corneal ulcer, but I do know that I was really in the best hands, for which I’m very grateful.

My visit for my hip operation was very calming, no stress involved as it was an operation. The nursing staff (Liam) was very helpful with information about my procedure timetable. After my operation I was looked after by 2 further nurses (Jan & Yvonne). They looked after my pain medication during the.night as well as the rest of my needs. Couldn’t have asked for better support, many thanks to them. The physio was round the next morning with crutches so I could walk and instructions on what I could and couldn’t do. Again very supportive which put me at ease.

Dr Karolina Afors is highly skilled and took plenty of time to read through my pages and pages of notes at our first appt. After being dismissed by other doctors, she was a breath of fresh air with lots of ideas, and she was invested in helping me get my life back from pain. The medicines she has prescribed me for my endometriosis have changed my life and she always has a range of suggestions for symptom management of many conditions. Cannot recommend her enough. I've got my life back with her help.

Dr. Matthew Oates

General Practitioner

Just as in my last statement, Dr Oates listened so intently to whatever issues arose during the consult and provided an excellent choice of avenues to progress forward to better my health. Excellent bedside manner and was extremely attentive and eased any anxieties I had. Explained in perfect detail what I could be struggling with and made sure I understood what I could do going forward to better my health.

I walked up 12 floors as there were no lifts available.Only 14% capacity.I got to the Thames view suite via the cardiac lift because a cardiac unit staff member took pity on me and put me into lift 14 to complete my Access Path to the private patients unit. What on earth is going on and why does the lift maintenance contract not have a 50% minimum functionality profile as a term for service?

Mr Prashant Purohit

“Dr. Prashant was exceptionally attentive, compassionate, and gentle throughout the examination.

He answered all of my questions with great care and alleviated all of my nerves today. I would most certainly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding specialist care.”

Dr Phillip Mayhead

Gastroenterologist

At my initial appointment Dr Mayhead listened and questioned my ailments and decided on the course of exploratory procedures. These were more thorough than I have had in the past. As a result he has diagnosed a condition that had not been diagnosed previously. The procedures were carried out with great care and I was made to feel very comfortable throughout.

Dr Shazia Tanvir Hussain

Cardiologist

I was most impressed by my consultation from start to finish. Dr Hussain put me at ease and maintained a reassurance by her clear questions and evident expertise.. She recommended two tests and they were undertaken the same day. I look forward to my follow up appointment. Overall an excellent experience and very reassuring.
