Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

It is extremely unpleasant being treated as a cash cow. I had diagnostics for cataracts at Bath St on 18 December 2025. It seemed organised and the consultant, Mr Rajesh Deshmukh (RD), answered my questions and so did his practice manager Paula Jessup (PJ). I subsequently asked for written information on the kind of lenses RD recommended and I had agreed to. They are EROV lenses. When I asked for it, PD's response was that RD had talked to me, I said I couldn't remmber everything and my eyes were dilated so I couldn't see information he showed me on his phone. The written information was not provided. in advance of the surgery. PJ directed me to RD's website. The information on the website writes briefly on product benefits, but doesn't explain how they work. I had bilateral cataract surgery on 2 February at New Cavendish. St. Thgere was no explanation, written or verbal, of the process, eg pre-med, med, timing of procedure, rest afterwards. (There is a very brief outline in PD's email of timing). People came and did things to me as the 'animal for slaughter'. Before the procedure, I was given a paper form to fill in for registration. I had already done this at Bath St. Surely the information is on the system. I needed to find my BUPA number and authorisation code again, GP Practice etc. I also had received a pre-procedure call when this information could have been checked etc. For several days, I couldn't read the written instructions provided after the procedure. A nurse did discuss them however I hope it is understandable that I didn't remember all of them. Additionally I couldn't read the numbers on the eye drops packing for several days. The second bullet point on the instructions says 'your vision will be blurry for the rest of the day and possibly the next week'> This is repeated as the 7th bullet point on the instructions on the second page. The instructions have not been prepared with this in mind. On the first page, the instructions also says if you feel any pain or discomfort in the eyes etc please call the clinical helpline number above. The number is not on the document. On the second page, last bullet it says, '....If you vision (there is a typo it should say your vision) becomes significantly more blurred etc, please contact your consultant. On the phone PD, said if you think you have an infection go straight to A&E. All of this is unclear. Overall the instructions are presented in an illogical and careless way. The day after my surgery PD phoned around 6.30 pm to ask about how I was. I would suggest this is too late in the day for a recovering patient, and the instructions say ' we would like you to go home and take it easy'. She also said she would send a prescription for further drops to my GP practice. On Thursday, I phoned to let her know that the GP Practice said they haven't received them. Her response was, if you have received them, they have. Fortunately I had taken a printout of the prescription to my GP surgery and they logged it into the system and have actioned. I do not think the response from PD was helpful and it could be called defensive. There appears to be no-one who takes responsibility for the patient and ensures that they are looked after.

Berkeley Psychiatrists

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, + 8 more

10/10 experience. We had our 10 year old son assessed for ADHD. From the moment i called to enquire about the process and what are the steps involved to the actually assessment, everyone has been amazing. Steven in the front office walked me through the entire process, what to expect, costings etc. he was polite, kind and very professional. Dr Hollie Hearfield who did the assessment was lovely. She was so good with our son, she explained everything to us as to what the next steps are. I cannot recommend you enough to others who might be thinking of going private. Its an overwhelming decision to make and it has been nothing but informative and easy with Berkley's. Keep up the amazing service that your staff deliver x

Abbi Clinic have been nothing short of incredible in supporting me with my recovery journey. I was really apprehensive about this style of ‘therapy’ but I am so glad that I took their advice and tried it because the structure of the clinic is perfectly curated to individuals needs. The staff at Abbi clinic make every effort to ensure that your journey is personalised by getting to know each individual person and it shows in their care and support. A special mention to Kate who I can not thank enough for always giving her undivided attention and showing week in and week out that she genuinely cares to support you in recovery.

Dr. Abdul Ashish

Dr Abdul Ashish has cared for me for over 12 months and has been outstanding throughout my treatment. He is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable, and has played a key role in my diagnosis and ongoing management of bronchiectasis and asthma. He has a lovely manner — always clear, kind, and considerate — and takes the time to listen, answer questions, and put me completely at ease. Each appointment ends with a clear and well-thought-out management plan, which gives me real confidence between reviews. Dr Ashish is an excellent consultant and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him. Thank you.

Cyprus IVF Hospital

Clinical Genetics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 2 more

I had a great experience at Cyprus ivf hospital. Aman was our coordinator and she was immediately responding to all our worries and questions. It is a clean and well equipped clinic. The prices were fixed and no extra expenses were placed. They let you now about the price from the beginning and you now as the procedure goes on, when and how much you have to pay. Transfer of the embryos took place only when the doctor was sure everything was ready. No rushing. They followed the correct protocol for my case and were always there for us any day any time! Thank you all very much.

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

From my initial enquiry about Refractive Lens Replacement surgery, through my surgery and aftercare I have had excellent care from Vision Scotland. Everything was clearly explained and the surgery has left me with the desired result, 20/20 vision with no glasses needed. The only (slight) negative difference here is a greater need for good light when reading at night or close work. The procedure was pain free and I have had no complications. I am looking forward to enjoying the results for (I hope) many years to come. Thank you to all staff involved with my care.

Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was extremely nervous having had a bad cataract surgery experience previously. However the staff went out of the way to make me feel comfortable, with a particular shout out to Bruce who was calm, funny, knowledgeable and held my hand throughout the procedure. Mr Ainsworth was warm and kind, it was good to meet him before the surgery. The whole procedure was explained and was over so quickly. It was a very personalised experience and my recovery has been quick and straightforward. I cannot recommend Newmedica highly enough, particularly for nervous patients.

Miss Dana Touqmatchi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Throughout my pregnancy and delivery, Dana was always extremely kind, positive and reassuring. During the delivery of my baby, she always made me feel supported and empowered to make decisions with as much information and time as I needed. Any time I had an issue or concern, Dana was very attentive and quick to respond, this gave me so much peace of mind during my pregnancy and when I had some postnatal concerns. I recommend Dana without hesitation to all my close friends and family, we will be back for our next baby!

I have had the utmost pleasure and experience of meeting Evangelos Tsialogiannis and have him perform a full hip replacement for me. From first meeting Evangelos, l was so impressed with him and was immediately put at ease, knowing that he was going to carrying out the operation. He explained the procedure clearly and talked me through the whole plan, from operation through to post operation recovery. An absolute top professional!

The stay at Bushey spire was so efficient. I attended at 7.15am, was shown to my room immediately, received regular visits from the nurses, care staff and Mr Iranpour during the next hour. My procedure took place at 8.30am and by 1pm, I was on my way home. Everything was explained to me clearly and concisely and the level of care I received was second to none.

Mr James Gill

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Professional care in a pleasant , welcoming and relaxing environment. Can't praise Mr. Gill enough from the operation itself to the ease of recovery thereafter. He's highly skilled at pain management to the extent that I was actually looking forward to the same op on my second knee after such a successful, easy recovery with the first.

Mr Rajiv Limaye

Mr Limaye has a very caring manner and was able to explain to me in lay man terms his diagnosis and why he came to that conclusion. Even more importantly he offered a range of options with their pros and cons for correction. Also prepared to give an opinion as to what he considered the best option and I am very grateful for that.
