The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Mr Christopher Theokli

ENT Surgeon

Mr Theokli and the nurse who accompanied me were very welcoming and friendly. Mr Theokli patiently listened to my problem with my ear infection. I had previously been prescribed drops by an HCA but as the problem deteriorated I then saw a nurse who prescribed antibiotics tablets. When the infection & pain continued my GP advised me to go to A&E. Recently a neighbour was there for 15 hours with serious & painful stomach problems. I have spent 13 hours with my elderly disabled mother when she couldn't keep water down and hadn't drunk anything for 24 hours. Luckily I have health insurance & was very pleased to see Mr Theokli as he suggested microsuction to which I agreed. His nurse advised me of the cost. Mr Theokli was thorough & gentle whilst performing the procedure and continually informed me of what he could see & checked that I was ok. He also prescribed different antibiotic drops as having cleared the debris in my ear, left from the infection, he could now see the infection was still present. His manner was excellent and I would recommend him to anyone. I felt I was treated as a person not just another patient. Hopefully I will not need to be seen again but if in the future I do, I will definitely contact his secretary, Alison, who was also very friendly and helpful. Many thanks.

Mr Arvind Singh

ENT Surgeon

My mother had hospital admission for a condition that seemed to be heart/BP related. Dizziness, headaches, palpitations. However, during discussions with the hospital team they suggested an inner ear problem (having ruled out heart/BP issues). Mr. Singh had an excellent website ( https://1st-ent.com) which set out his area of expertise and experience. I filled in a simple online request and received an immediate response from his clinical administrator who was exceptional in arranging an appointment and dealing with the follow-up. We saw Mr. Singh at Bishops Wood Hospital. Mr. Singh was outstanding; he was clear in explaining in simple terms the nature of the problem, the management strategy, and what further investigations were needed and why. The primary diagnosis was vestibular migraines. The condition had caused so much worry and anxiety which made the condition harder to manage. A series of exercises were recommended. The exercises made a difference. Mr. Singh was patient, focused through the consultation and follow-up. It was so reassuring to meet him and benefit from his expertise. I highly recommend Mr. Singh.

I was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED that the misleading named "Disabled" toilet is still used as a storage centre. I have formally complained about this to the CEO after struggling on a number of occasions to assist my elderly disabled mother. It is too cramped to get a wheelchair and carer in there. Having moved items out into the corridor I then struggled to transfer her from her wheelchair. Naturally she was getting more & more anxious to get on the toilet, knowing that she was about to see a consultant. I suggested to the anxious person outside that he ask to use another toilet. This is a private hospital, built AFTER the Disability Discrimination Act. How did this even pass building regulations & considered acceptable? All the designer had to do was to go next door & copy the design of the disabled toilet in QEQM. We were under enough stress having to attend the hospital appointment.This just compounded the stress for my mother and me. PLEASE attend to this ongoing problem. Why is it taking so long? UTTER DISGRACE & INSULTING to all disabled people and their carers.

Dr Athina Zakynthinaki

Psychiatrist

My teen daughter has been under the care of Dr Zakynthinaki for the last 3 months for autistic burnout alongside low mood and anxiety. Dr Zakynthinaki has been wonderful in so many ways - she's empathetic with my daughter and with me, she listens and she's been incredibly responsive to our questions. She explains things so well and in a lot of detail, which I really appreciate. It's so refreshing to come across a specialist who's willing to work with a patient so diligently and with so much care - who can offer not only the clinical experience, but is also very patient-focussed. I feel we are both seen and heard by her. If you are looking for support for your child / adolescent, particularly if they are neurodiverse, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr Zakynthinaki!

The toilets were yet again filthy. For the second time I complained. I appreciate that nothing will change, but I discussed not only with the nurse, but also with front desk that the hygiene level was very low indeed. In a private facility this is a disgrace. Further, I found that any details given on a prior visit had not updated onto the current registration form. While I came in after 6.30 pm, i have seen the awful queues for registration at earlier times. Your reception person was on his own and was also on his own on the prior visit, and the paperwork took far too long. You need more than one person on the front desk. Overall, the clinic is poor.

I arrived 10 minutes early and found a parking space opposite the main entrance. I reported to reception who directed me the check in where I was booked in and directed to the waiting area. Only a couple of minutes later I was called for my scan, shown where to put my belongings and then directed to the MRI scanning room. Here I was explained thoroughly what would happen and then I went into the scanner for 15-20 minutes. When I came out I was told my results would be sent to my doctor in about 2 weeks and then advised I was free to go home. I have no complaints and don’t think you could improve on the service. Very well done to you all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bernie.

London Gynaecology - Richmond

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I usually feel quite embarrassed and anxious about gynecology appointments, but my experience with Dr. Priyanka Patel and the staff was truly amazing. From the moment I arrived, everyone made me feel at ease and treated me with so much kindness and respect. Dr. Patel was incredibly gentle, patient, and understanding. She took the time to walk me through the entire procedure step by step, which really helped calm my nerves and made me feel comfortable and in control. I’m so grateful for such a compassionate and professional experience. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Dr Margarita was very knowledgeable and kind. I would definitely recommend coming to the Lantern Clinic. I felt listened too and she emphasised as a woman with my issues. I had plenty of time to chat and didn’t feel rushed,. Dr Margarita devised a plan for me to follow and recommended a gold standard brand of supplements I should start. I am booked in for a follow up appointment in several weeks time, to discuss how my treatment plan went and if I saw improvements.

Dr Alberto Murino

Gastroenterologist

I recently underwent a complex procedure with Dr Murino, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care I received. From the very first consultation, he demonstrated not only remarkable expertise but also genuine compassion, understanding and kindness in what, for me, was a potentially daunting journey. I have immense confidence in Dr Murino and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking the highest standard of surgical care.

Mr Rehan Salim

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Rehan Salim has been amazing and exceptional consultant through our IVF journey. After meeting him for the first time, we felt safe, he could be trusted and will care for us. He was very professional, through explanations and empathic approach gave us confidence throughout the entire treatment. The clinic staff were also very supportive, caring, and organised. We would highly recommend the clinic to anyone seeking fertility care.

Parking is easy. Reception staff efficient. Dr Brasse is always welcoming, warm and professional. Whatever I have seen her for she has always been pro active with tests ie Dexa scan etc. Dr Brasse always makes you feel at ease whatever I see her for. More recently she has shown me her expertise in Aestetics and have to say I am very pleased. Highly recommended.

Dr Turab Syed

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Syed explained the options, and what would direct surgical decisions once underway, very clearly. He was reassuring and helpful. Post operative communication has also been excellent so I know exactly what was done without relying on my memory post general anaesthetic! I also have clear information on what I should and should not do in the coming weeks.

Mr Osama Naji

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a Robotic Myomectomy to remove two large fibroids, following diagnostic ultrasound and MRI. Mr Naji carefully explained the process and recovery period and I had a very smooth transition from surgery to recovery at home. I feel almost completely well after 3 weeks and very positive that my previous symptoms will completely subside fairly quickly.

Mr Jonathan Britto

Plastic Surgeon

My deep plane & neck lift has been a huge success! Exactly what I asked for. Looks super natural just without the saggy skin and wrinkles. But my face remains exactly the same, just younger. Post op was very easy and I was back to normal life after just two weeks. 6 weeks on and I’m thrilled with the result. Best thing I ever did.
