The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I was referred to the Horder Centre for hip surgery as an NHS patient and the difference between that experience and my experiences in NHS hospitals couldn't have been more different. As it turned out, I also had two brief stays in an NHS hospital at around the same time, and experiencing a busy trauma ward in the Royal Victoria hospital in Brighton was pretty terrible. Unusually, I ended up having to have two operations in Crowborough on the same hip, so I was there for several days in all, and though no one really wants to be in hospital they do make every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You get a single room with a TV (Freeview) and your own en-suite bathroom and fresh towels are brought every day. For a start, the staffing levels were brilliant. Someone was always on hand if I needed pain relief or anything else for that mattter. For every staff shiftI was allocated a care worker and a nurse, all of whom were absolutely lovely. They will help you with anything including a bed-wash or shower and if you have any questions they can't answer themselves they will find someone who can. I was regularly offered pain medication and if I felt I needed some in between rounds I had only to ring the bell beside my bed and I was usually able to have it. The food is good and plentiful and the menu choices provide plenty of variety. The staff who bring round the food as well as a trolley offering hot drinks or fruit juice are cheerful and friendly as well as punctual. Even the housekeeping staff were lovely. Although I'm sure all the staff were busy (for example, the care assistants take care of 6 patients on each shift), no one ever seemed to be under too much pressure and they always had time for a chat. They will arrange transport two and from the hospital if you need it, whether in an ambulance or by car, and even the drivers love working there. Some of the staff I met have worked there for many years, which speaks for itself. If I were referred to the Horder Centre rather than an NHS hospital or further surgery at any point I would feel confident that I would be well taken care of.

Outstanding Cardiologist – Exceptional Care I cannot thank Dr. Nikolaos Papageorgiou enough for his exceptional care and expertise.

He quickly and accurately provided a diagnosis, explained everything clearly, and offered appropriate follow-up options to address any ongoing or future concerns.

Mr Gareth Stables

I had a 10 minute consultation telephone call with Mr Stables. I provided details of the issue with my knee, how my knee pain started, my worries and concerns for the future. Mr Stables provided a detailed plan to manage my current symptoms with clear steps on how we could tackle any worsening of my knee pain with specific treatment options.. I came away from our consultation call comforted that Mr Stables and his team will be there to take care of me should I need to investigate the treatment options discussed. I thoroughly recommend contacting Mr Stables if you have concerns about the health of your knees.

Mr Ravi Pydisetty

From the start of my joint replacement journey in April 2018 to my discharge in October 2025 complete with two new hips and two new knees, I have been treated with the utmost respect by Mr Pydisetty. From my first consultation to my last I was given time, explanations and expert care - I would say that his treatment of me has exceeded any care that I have ever received from a medical professional and I cannot speak highly enough of him. Thank you!

Mr Alex Ionides

Ophthalmologist

I met Mr Ionides in my consultation. He explained every part of the process very clearly and thoroughly. On the day of the operation he came to see me before the operation and was very reassuring. The day after I received a text asking about my vision. I am absolutely thrilled that I can now read my music again without glasses..Mr Ionides recommended a corrective lens and this has proved to be very successful. All in all a life changing experience.

Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Happy Kids Dental Hammersmith

Dentistry

We had a very anxious 7 year old who struggled to sit in the chair and open her mouth. The dentist and her assistant did a fantastic job at easing her fears by being slow, listening to her and being playful about the tools and procedure. She was allowed to bring her own comfort blanket which really helped.
