Dr Sam Dawkins

Cardiologist

Dr Dawkins used the excellent images from the echocardiogram to show me and explain why and how good the results of his innovative surgery and procedures on 24/10/2024 are. Dr Dawkins is a brilliant cardiologist and an amazing thinker. I was faced with open heart surgery to replace two valves and excision of thickened and calcified heart muscle; a very risky operation with a long and possibly unsuccessful recovery. Instead Dr Dawkins devised the novel procedures he used. The success of this is totally down to his skill and the trouble he took. He also gathered and used the help of other experts to minimise risk and provide support. At the visit on 2/1/2026 Dr Dawkins also took the time and trouble to review and explain all my medication. He asked all about my current health and has adjusted my medication to benefit me and help me get fit again. He treated me like a person not just a heart! I hope he will be able to share his knowledge with other cardiologists and so save more people from open heart surgery and needless risk and pain. I cannot praise or thank Dr Dawkins enough.

Professor Shaun Preston

General Surgeon

Came in December 5th after being told I would have to wait 26 weeks via the NHS. I met up with professor Shaun Preston, who instantly noticed the hernia I had, and saying we could get it operated on before or after Christmas. I chose before as just wanted it sorted and recovery to start. He gave me the option, next Thursday or Friday (11th or 12th), I chose the 12th. Came in, a little nervous but was greeted by very kind faces and had a great chat with Professor Preston, putting me at ease instantly. The surgery was short and I woke up feeling relieved. I came back 3 weeks after the surgery and had a great chat with Professor Preston, asking how my recovery was and how my holidays/festive period was, showing he cared about my well being and personal life. Been given the all clear to slowly get back into training and have Professor Preston’s assistants number, incase anything is to change with my recovery.

Mr Okechukwu Okonkwo

ENT Surgeon

Excellent last appointment with Mr Okonkwo and the wonderful nurse who assisted him. The appointment covered all the points I needed to raise and the camera investigation gave me reassurance that I should hopefully be polyp free for a few years. The success of having the polyps removed has changed my life. Not being able to smell and taste had a huge impact on my mental health and quality of life. Had I not had the surgery my life would forever have been miserable. Mr Okonkwo,his amazing secretary and all the surgery and ENT team have given me back 2 vital senses and I’m so happy. I know the polyps will return but I sincerely hope my treatment will be managed again by the brilliant Mr Okonkwo. I cannot thank him and his team enough for everything that they’ve done for me.

I got to the hospital early due to the known parking issues. I spent 20 mins going around the hospital car parks without success. I made receptionists aware that I was there and had parking issues. I was advised that I couldn’t use your car park as I am an NHS patient. I don’t appreciate 2 tier management of patient's needs. I was informed that I could park directly outside on yellow lines without fear of receiving a penalty. I was worried while in Spencer’s as I wasn’t totally happy with where I was parked. As I was early, I was seen 15 mins before my appointment. I was made to understand that because I had difficulty uploading my medication the nurse had to complete this task. Staff were friendly and clearly experienced. I was given a reserved date.

The McIndoe Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, General Practice (GP), + 3 more

I have received nothing but the upmost care from all staff. The parking is simple on arrival and great to have disabled spaces immediately outside for collection post op! I have always been called through to my appointments on time and at times even earlier if I've arrived early myself. The staff that have stood out to me and taken wonderful care are Louise, Ruby, Jessie in the surgery department and Sandy in the post care department. Everywhere is always clean, with a warm welcome from reception. It's a lovely touch to use the drinks machine in the waiting area, the hot chocolate is delicious. I cannot fault any of my treatment or care by the Mcindoe staff, its exceptional.

Miss Sarah Burton

General Surgeon

I selected Miss Burton to perform my operation by reading her reviews, which were outstanding. She lived up to the praise given in her reviews. She exuded confidence, friendliness and care and from our first meeting both my wife and I knew we had made the right choice. My operation was explained thoroughly, she made me feel relaxed and cared for. Post operation she was wonderful, making sure all was ok and that my needs were being looked after by the staff. A wonderful, caring professional who inspires confidence. I would highly recommend this surgeon. Thank you for making my operation as good as it possibly could get.

Mr Amresh Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

recent visit was the latest in a large number in the course of the last 13 months and two hip replacements, the first of which turned out to be very complex revision surgery. Throughout all of this time I have always felt very confident and comfortable under Mr Singh’s care. In my experience, he is a first class consultant surgeon who cares very much for his patients, both before and after surgery and, even at this latest visit, my condition and ultimate recovery are very much at the forefront of Mr Singh’s concern. Overall, despite a number of setbacks, i doubt whether i could have been better cared for.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Medical Weight Loss, Pharmacy

On my order I specifically asked for CAPSULES of paracetamol not Tablets. The turn around was quick but I realized when receiving 3 boxes of tablets no care had been taken to check the medecine. When I asked for a return label they asked for photos and description of the packaging of which I cant do . I'm over 90 and not familiar with taking photos and being a simple mistake in product I didn't understand. I will never use these people again and wil never recommend them. My order #

Mr Matthew Gee

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a consultation with Dr Gee a few months ago and finally agreed that the time had come for a hip replacement. I then had my operation on 11th November and all went very well. Dr Gee previously explained the procedure and what I would need to do after the operation and what I couldn't do. The surgery was a great success, so much so that I was up and about quickly and was even driving after 2 weeks, and up and down stairs with no problem as well as going about my daily activities

From reception to clinical staff, everyone was extremely kind, professional, and helpful, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free. The staff were attentive and friendly, creating a calm and reassuring environment throughout. Overall, a fantastic facility with extremely good staff, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

Firstly… Happy New Year to all your team - it certainly has been for me. The whole process was absolutely excellent, and in particular the skill of the Surgeon was exceptional - Mr. Javier Bardavio, I was told via doctify.com before arriving. I can’t speak highly enough about the service, communication and treatment I received. Sincere thanks Optegra at Whiteley Ron (Cataract removal and Intra-Ocular lens fitted to right eye.)

Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 35 more

The doctor and nurses here are very kind and really helped me during a nerve wracking procedure that I was highly anxious for. I do think given how much we pay for these appointments, that the facilities could really use a revamp. It fees tired and dated in the common areas and the toilets were not very clean. On top of that, you can never find a parking spot, which adds extra anxiety to pre appointments.

Mr Matthew Kinsella

Ophthalmologist

I received great care from Matthew Kinsella when I attended for an eye consultation. It’s not often these days that you experience such kindness and precision when attending a medical appointment. He took the time to explain each investigation and treatment option thoroughly so that I felt comfortable and fully understood next steps. I would definitely recommend him to friends and relatives

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I had a septic a septic finger. It was a Saturday morning. Pharmacy would not provide antibiotic cream without seeing a GP. No NHS GP available. Rang Deben healthcare and Dr able to see me within half an hour. Dr was very thorough and carried out a small procedure. Issued a prescription for antibiotic cream.

Queens Terrace Dental Practice

Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dental practice aside, which are exemplary, the practice needs some heating it was too cold in there and I must say £5 for the soft bristle tooth brush just because I forgot mine was not necessary at all. I felt a little shoehorned into having to buy that which I did not appreciate.
