I attended the Neurology Clinic at Cleveland Clinic, Portland Place London for a second medical opinion (covered by my insurance) and I had ALL medical reports with me. The booking process was straightforward, and the reception team were excellent—very responsive and professional, with great customer service. I also appreciated that the clinic arranged for my MRI images to be transferred ahead of my appointment, so the consultant would have access to my medical history. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with how the consultation itself went. I came with up-to-date MRI scans (completed recently through an NHS neuroscience unit), along with relevant medical reports and test results. However, the doctor did NOT properly review my MRI images, stating they were “bad quality,” and instead suggested I pay privately for repeat MRI scans at Cleveland Clinic London 3Tesla MRI scanner (my all mri's were done on 3Tesla scanners). He also recommended another lumbar puncture, again privately, despite the fact that I have already had one. Overall, I left with the strong impression that the focus was on arranging further paid tests rather than reviewing the information already available and providing a clear second opinion. In the end, I did not receive any meaningful second medical opinion, no conclusions were offered, and I felt I had not been listened to. To be fair, Dr Wallace Brownlee was polite, kind, and his manner was professional. The neurological examination was fine. However, I still left without any explanation or diagnostic opinion, despite no recent change in my clinical picture that would obviously justify repeating tests before offering an assessment. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Dr Wallace Brownlee for someone seeking a genuine second opinion.

This was a positive experience. Srijune was so very kind and helpful in my pre- treatment discussion, administration of anti biotic medication and questionnaire. She offered to hold my hand during the injection, made sure I was okay, ensured I had some tea and biscuits whilst waiting before I could leave and came to let me know that it was safe for me to leave. She also answered my call when I got home as I’d felt a cramp-like pain in my calf . Thanks Srijano Mr Jones was kind, genial, professional and as gentle as he could be with the procedure. He chatted to me during the procedure , telling me about the scan that was showing the fluid on/ around my knee and was happy to answer my question about what the fluid was that he was removing etc. He told me that I’d get a call from him in a few months time to check how I’m getting on rather than a face to face follow up. I was given assorted leaflets with exercises, ICRS registry , free online rehab programme and physiotherapists Charlie and Nick at the Better team . I was thrilled when I went to walk out of the hospital, to find that I was able to walk normally without any limping. Yes the anaesthetic was probably helping but it made me feel positive about the treatment . I expect it’ll be a little tender once that has worn off but fingers crossed all will be well .

Mr Liam Stapleton

Podiatrist

Review for Podiatrist Consultant Liam Stapleton I have been a patient of Liam Stapleton for several years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Liam is consistently professional, attentive, and genuinely thorough. He always takes the time to listen carefully, explains everything clearly, and makes sure you fully understand both the problem and the treatment options. What really sets him apart is how deeply he thinks about each case rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. He looks at issues from multiple angles, not just the painful area itself. He considers overall functionality, gait, posture, and the geometry of movement, and how all of these interact and impact the body. This holistic and biomechanical approach has made a huge difference to my outcomes over the years. You never feel rushed, dismissed, or treated like a number. Liam is thoughtful, analytical, and genuinely committed to finding the root cause of problems rather than just treating symptoms. If you are looking for a podiatrist consultant who is highly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and truly invested in long-term functional improvement, Liam Stapleton is exceptional.

Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, General Surgery, + 39 more

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

Mr Andrew Northeast

General Surgeon

Mr Northeast examined my condition at the initial appointment and confirmed that I needed umbilical hernia repair surgery. He explained what the procedure would entail and how my day to day life would be impacted for 4 to 6 weeks after the operation. He also answered all the questions I had about the procedure. He sought the requisite funding for my operation and kept myself and my GP updated on progress. I was fortunate to obtain a cancellation and so my operation date was sooner than I had anticipated. The operation went smoothly and I had very little pain or discomfort following the operation. I subsequently returned to see Mr Northeast approximately 4 weeks after the operation where he examined me and advised me the operation had been a complete success and advised me what I should avoid doing until the full 6 weeks post operation period was complete. Overall I was very pleased with the entire experience and grateful for his expertise.

Mr Winston Justin

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Having been under Mr Justin’s care for 5 years, following a tubo ovarian abscess and pelvic inflammatory disease, stemming from my appendix (all successfully resolved), I decided to undergo a total laparoscopic hysterectomy as a result of ongoing symptoms caused by adenomyosis. Mr Justin’s care, expertise, knowledge and meticulous approach throughout has been invaluable to me, enabling me to make informed decisions, prepare for the surgery and recover well, to achieve the best outcome. The follow up consultation (7 weeks post surgery) provided me with further information and reassurance about the surgery, and certain answers that provided, and the confidence that I can now move on from the issues of the past 5 years. I would (and have) trusted Mr Justin with my life. He is a superb consultant and surgeon, a consummate professional and a caring, kind person.

Mr Ahsan Sheeraz

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We would like to thank Dr. Sheeraz for the excellent care he provided to my father. He was professional and thorough throughout the consultation. He conducted a detailed examination of my father’s knee and clearly explained the diagnosis and next steps, which gave us confidence and reassurance. He took the time to address all our concerns and listened carefully to each issue we raised. We especially appreciated that he also spoke with my mother and offered helpful advice on maintaining bone health as she ages. His guidance was practical and easy to understand. We felt listened to and well cared for, and we are grateful for his expertise and attentive approach.

Mr Babak Shariati

Neurosurgeon

My experience with this consultant spinal surgeon has been exceptional from start to finish. Babak Shariati expertise was clear throughout my time experienced over the last 2 years. time to explain my condition in a way that was both reassuring and easy to understand. I felt genuinely listened to, and every question I had was met with patience and clarity. The level of care before, during, and after my procedure was outstanding. The surgery itself went smoothly. I’m incredibly grateful for the skill, professionalism, and kindness I received. I would highly recommend this surgeon to anyone seeking spinal care

Queen Square Imaging Centre

Diagnostic Pathway – Cardiac, Imaging (Scans), + 3 more

When undertaking base line assessment prior to the procedure, this was conducted in the reception area. During this taking place, 3 other people arrived and seated themselves in the reception area. We were unclear if they were members of the public, staff or other appointments. They were not introduced to us as observers for my treatment. The introduction didn't occur until Prof Zveorov arrived, then introductions were made and my family was made aware they were from other institutions to learn and observe. The support and treatment were excellent.

The most important thing for a patient undergoing a medical procedure is the trust between the patient and the treating physician. From the assessment meeting, followed by the brief consultation with Dr. Seward, and throughout the medical procedure, I felt that I was being treated in the most professional manner possible. Dr. Seward demonstrated extensive knowledge, professionalism, and confidence, and created a comfortable atmosphere between us, providing clear information throughout the entire process.

Dr Andrew De Burgh-Thomas

Sexual Health Doctor

Andrew has been looking after me for many years, his knowledge and kindness in delivering results and discussions into possible improvements are delivered with respect and care. Having someone who you look forward to seeing is vital as there are not a lot of people that I am comfortable discussing my status with. He is my vital link between knowledge about my body and having a productive life outside of the HIV world. For this, I am profoundly grateful.

Dr Edward Nash

General (Internal) Medicine

Dr Nash had requested all my data from the Birmingham Hospitals and had read and fully understood the contents. He then asked me for many other details relevant to my condition and performed respiratory tests to make comparisons with my notes. He showed real interest in my concerns about my health. When I left the appointment I felt confident being in his care and had a plan arranged with him to proceed with the investigation of my lung condition.

Staff and facilities were amazing. The only thing I felt could be improved was the food. Generally it felt like there was quantity over quality. I had overcooked fish. I selected a starter of prawn and avocado salad one day as I wasn’t overly hungry and was presented with a huge bowl of salad which was swimming in the dressing which wasn’t pleasant. As I say everything else was amazing I just expected the food to match the service.

Dr Amit Patel

Respiratory Doctor

I have been under Dr Patel's care for 8 years now. Ever since the first appointment he has been very thorough, attentive and genuinely concerned about my well being. I have a multi systemic disease, and doctor Patel never hesitates with doctors from other specialties to provide a holistic and effective treatment plan. I highly recommend Dr Patel to anyone looking for an effective , knowledgeable and considerate respiratory doctor.

Clarity - Blackpool

Ophthalmology

I decided to have laser correction done privately after finding out the waiting time for NHS treatment was too long. My cataract operations and laser correction on one eye were done at Chec and I have nothing but praise on the way I was treated by all staff, clinical as well as administrative. Based on this I had full trust in using Clarity, knowing that I would be treated by the same caring consultants.

We recently referred a client with an acquired brain injury who was displaying episodes of anger incorporating challenging behaviour. Dr Rick Adams was easy to talk to and he quickly and accurately grasped the situation and recommended suitable treatment. His support team, in arranging appointments and correspondence was excellent. I cannot speak highly enough of the support we have been given.
