Mr Naren Basu

General Surgeon

I booked a. consultation with Mr Basu for Breast Implant Removal only. After researching him I felt assured he was extremely highly qualified and vastly knowledgeable in his profession. Upon meeting him I knew I had made the correct decision. During my consultation, Mr Basu listened intensively to my concerns with having my implants removed as they had been in situ for almost 21 years. I must stipulate, there was no underlying reason for removal of my implants other than I simply wanted them removed with no further augmentation required. Mr Basu discussed this with me in great detail advising me that I could change my mind if I was unsure at any time and also discussed the option to have a breast uplift in future, if I was not satisfied with the outcome. Mr Basu offered me time to go away and think about my final decision, arranged a mammogram and upon my next meeting, I confidently planned my procedure. My Medical History was complex, given I experienced Anaphylactic shock in theatre previously, have intolerance to general anaesthetic and required major blood transfusions in all of my previous spinal operations. I have a history of many drugs allergies which is seriously problematic for me with pain relief. I also have a Lung Condition and Spinal Fusion in situ with rods, pins, plates and a cage in my spine. I suffer with anorexia. Before, my surgery, I had a further consultation with Mr Basu, who arranged for me to see the Anaesthetist in order to obtain a detailed medical history should any complications arise in theatre. We discussed the need for my operation to take place The Priory Hospital, Birmingham, as they have ICU beds available, as this was a possibility, given my complex M/H. My operation was 7 November 2026. I saw Mr Basu and The Anaesthetist again before I went to theatre and we discussed any concerns and fully explained the procedure once again. Mr Basu and his team were fabulous. My stay at The Priory Hospital in Edgbaston, Birmingham was faultless. The superb care I received was second to none. I received incredible care during my stay. I ran into some complications a few hours later, with blood pressure and sickness issues, so it was decided best for me to stay overnight and I felt reassured I had professional care. I confidently returned home the following day, after discharge from Mr Basu. I unfortunately had a problem with my left breast wound, a week later, which required aspiration. I returned to Clinic for Consultation with Mr Basu and was seen a further twice before final discharge. During these visits, I felt completely assured by Mr Basu that all was well and always reiterated if I was concerned, I could contact him by email and his secretary anytime to arrange to see me in his next Clinic. I have had no further complications and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, 3 months post-op. Mr Basu is indeed a very welcoming, courteous, extensively knowledgable and truly professional Surgeon, whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone considering breast augmentation or breast issues. Given the complexity of my medical history I could not have asked for more thorough investigations and forward planning to have taken place before my operation and also with a courtesy follow up call after. Mr Basu is clearly a well-established Surgeon supported by a wonderful Team at both The Spire Hospital, Little Aston and The Priory Edgbaston, Birmingham. A great big Thank you for great quality care and expertise!

The Stevenage Counselling Clinic

Psychology

Before I met Glenda I was at a very low point in my life. I was experiencing an incredible amount of stress and anxiety following a breakdown in my relationship. I found it very hard to function at a level to which I was used to. I have always been high energy and needed to be for my work. Glenda instantly put me at ease, she was always very patient and explained in great detail why I was feeling why I was. Glenda is highly professional and never once did I feel patronised or judged. She spoke to me with respect and encouraged me to learn more about my situation through reading, podcasts, audiobooks etc which really helped me along the way. Some days I would arrive at our therapy session without knowing what I was going to discuss but Glenda creates a safe environment which allows you to open up and share your thoughts and feelings. Glenda is an incredible psychodynamic therapist and has been highly influential in my life and I will be forever grateful for her knowledge, her patience and her kindness. Thank you for everything.

Dr Ahmad Khwanda

Cardiologist

I am an 88 year old woman who, during her long life, has been under the care of many doctors and Dr. Khwanda is by far the most thorough and caring of them all. Once home after my cardioversion, he phoned me daily later telling me to phone him if I had any worries or concerns. I cannot fault him regarding his post procedure care and thoughtfulness. I consider myself extremely fortunate that, by chance, I chose Dr. Khwanda to be my cardiologist and in whom I have gained complete trust. He is very competent, professional, has the respect of his team, explains treatments and necessary medications in laymen’s terms and very importantly, treats his patients with the greatest care and concern. Thank you Dr. Khwanda.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I cannot rate the hospital highly enough following my recent operation. From the moment I arrived I was looked after by a number of staff members, all of who could not do enough to ensure I was comfortable, informed and had everything I needed. In particular nurses Damian, Sonia, Cindy and Salmon were wonderful, also the catering lady who's name i didn't catch, Steve the pharmacist, Mr Murray the anesthetist, and Mr Lewis the surgeon. All the staff were very friendly and relaxed which helped me settle in a situation I could have felt very uncomfortable and nervous in. Even though this procedure was covered by insurance I would not hesitate to self pay in the future if needed to have this level of care again.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

All staff, from reception to nurses and surgeons, I found to be friendly, courteous, helpful and professional. I was generally rather nervous about the whole process, this being the very first time I experienced any form of surgery or a stay in hospital. However, I was treated with the utmost respect and understanding and felt well advised at all times, allowing me to make informed decisions at my own pace, without being pressured. I had to wait a bit longer than I had anticipated for surgery but by comparison to the NHS, it was efficient and slick. It is early days to comment properly on my shoulder replacement but things are progressing well although slowly and I am hopeful for the future.

Spire Elland Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 2 more

I cannot thank the team at Spire Elland Hospital enough for the outstanding care I received. From admission through to recovery, every member of staff was kind, professional, attentive, and reassuring. A massive thank you to Paula in particular, whose warmth, compassion, and calm presence made such a difference during what was a very daunting time. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and I always felt genuinely cared for and supported. The whole team went above and beyond, and I am incredibly grateful for the kindness, dignity, and exceptional care I received. I would not hesitate to recommend Spire Elland Hospital — truly outstanding staff and patient care.

Dr. Elena Nikiphorou

Rheumatologist

My visit was really useful and timely. Dr Nikiphorou was knowledgeable and kind. We ran through medical history, in depth, with additional Qs from Dr Nikiphorou to narrow the focus. There was a short physical check to check range of motion in areas of concern. Then once we had confirmed what was included with my insurance Dr N updated her notes, filled out various forms and I moved on to get some bloods taken (immediately) and book an MRI appointment for the following week. Really seamless and everyone was professional and helpful.

Mr Tawqeer Rashid

Vascular Surgeon

This was my first consultation with Mr. Rashid. My experience was 100% positive. He listened so well and was exceptionally clear explaining the problem. His explanation of the risks in future and the options for treatment could not have been better. Exceptionally he offered advice and the best way forward with reasons. It is so easy to talk with Mr Rashid. Including peripheral artery disease and legs, Mr. Rashid is very well qualified. I came away from the consultation as if a light have been switched on.

Ringway Dental Cheadle

Dentistry

I came for a wisdom tooth extraction that was a bit more complex and I was extremely nervous but everyone was brilliant. Thank you so much to the lovely nurse who held my hand throughout and to the dental surgeon who kept me informed and as calm as she could throughout as I was in the chair for about an hour overall! Ringway is such a lovely dental practice to visit and actually very affordable with the monthly plan - and much nicer than my previous surgery which was more expensive!

Spire Manchester Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 11 more

This hospital is pleasant to attend. It is clean- including the bathrooms and baby changing areas which are spotless. There are several small but well stocked indoor play areas for children which make a huge difference when entertaining them between appointments/ diagnostics. The on-site cafe is welcoming and extremely reasonably priced. Staff are always friendly and look happy to be there. Most importantly, appointments run on time and there is ample free parking on site.

Ms Christina Kourie

Audiologist

For several years now Christina Kourie at the King's Road Pindrop clinic has cared for me and my hearing aid needs, and more recently for my wife too. Throughout this time I have been immensely impressed by her knowledge and professionalism, matched by outstanding client care and sensitivity. She comes with my strongest recommendation. Equally, I strongly commend the consistently friendly and exceptionally efficient support provided by Georgia at the front desk

Dr. Arindam Das

Paediatrician

Dr. Arindam Das has been a constant source of support and guidance since my son was diagnosed with celiac disease. His careful monitoring, clear advice, and reassuring approach have helped us manage the condition with confidence. He not only keeps a close check on my son’s progress but also ensures we understand every step of the treatment and dietary care. His dedication and compassionate care have made a significant difference in our journey.

The Lister Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Fertility Medicine, Orthopaedic Surgery, + 12 more

My experiences at the Lister hospital were generally positive. The facilities are clean and modern. The wait time was variable but generally ok. There wasn't much continuity in the nursing and sonography staff I saw which is a shame, and the quality was variable, but in general most of my experiences were with skilled and knowledgeable staff. On a few occasions I wasn't entirely confident in the nurse or sonographer treating me.

Dr May Teoh

Oncologist

I saw Dr Teoh to seek advice and a second opinion regarding my struggles with endocrine therapy following breast cancer surgery. She was extremely clear with her thoughts and more than happy to spend time explaining her reasons and any medical jargon I didn’t understand. I found her to be kind, considerate, compassionate and knowledgeable. I left my appointment feeling supported and more positive about my current regime.

Mr Aakshay Gulati

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

From my first consultation with Mr Aakshay Gulati to my recent surgery was first class. Everything was thoroughly explained to me about the surgery and the side effects. The documentation and videos i received explaining each step of procedure were first class. Mr Aakshay Gulati and the team at Kims Hospital made feel relaxed and cared for with a high standard of professionalism. Would not hesitate to recommend.
