Paediatric Cardiology, Breast Surgery, + 35 more

After I had my procedure and was in the room, I needed to use the toilet, but I was hooked up to a catheter. Therefore, I could not go unaided. I needed to use the toilet for a poo and was desperate to go. I used the call button and told the nurse, who said they would come back. I was left for 4 hours in agony. I was really anxious as I had been told I was not to strain, and I was doing all I could to not mess myself. This left me really upset and agitated. I did not feel cared for at that time. The breakfast was very poor and not at all palatable. The fact that you could not get in the lift without someone tapping you in is ridiculous, as you then have to search for someone to assist. Also, when I subsequently came back for my catheter removal. There were no disabled parking spaces at the front, so I had to come in the back. I was told I needed to go to the ward. So I made my way to the lift and was very dizzy and weak. My wife left me at the lift to go to the front to sign me in, and the receptionist could not have been more unhelpful and stroppy. My wife then took me up in the lift, only to be told that they would not see me until she had gone back down to the reception. The other receptionist then signed me in and was pleasant, unlike the other receptionist. Sadly, small things let you down. But when you are a patient, you feel very vulnerable, and the lack of professionalism from a member of the team makes a big impact.

Marris Medical

Pain Management, Breast Surgery, + 5 more

My first time going to this clinic due to either muscle or muscle strain causing nerve impingement this is my assumption until I get my results tomorrow. The team were fantastic and to say my appointment was the last one of the day they were friendly welcoming and super efficient. Maria at the desk was incredibly sweet and aspiring to talk to and also in providing me with the Information regarding MRI and what to expect. Julius (radiographer) was accommodating friendly and made the MRI scan easier to manage.. Also Sabi (hope I spelt the name correctly) was as friendly and the other two mentioned and altogether they made the whole experience as smooth as it could be. 5 star from me and highly recommended for anyone on the fence debating whether to visit or not so if you have the need to go for and MRI or ultrasound or anything else that they cover that relates to you I highly recommend Marris and in comparison to other clinics around there price was reasonable at a cost of £325 for a lumbar spine MRI bearing in mind this is on the famous Harley Street. I am super happy I chose them and shall be returning for my consultation soon.

Dr Zinu Philipose

Gastroenterologist

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery on both eyes on 4th December 2025 and l was discharged today, 12th January 2026. I'm so pleased to say l don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. From start to finish, my experience at Freedom Vision Chelmsford was exceptionally good - and my end result is superb vision. - more than l could ever have hoped for. Colours are radiant and bright, and probably the biggest bonus for me is feeling so much more confident driving at night. After undergoing rigorous tests and scans , the actual procedure is very quick and painless. All the staff, without question were delightfully kind people and I'd like to thank them all individually, if only l knew their names. But in particular, l'd like to thank Nicola who guided me patiently and expertly throughout the whole procedure, and a massive thank you to Mr Hove , my surgeon, for being such a genius. If you are contemplating cataract surgery, l urge you to go for it - don't be scared - you won't regret it!

This was a follow-up appointment. It should have been after 2 weeks but because the practitioner works very part-time this wasn’t possible. She then said I should have been in sooner! Treatment not as successful as with past practitioners before we moved to this area (I had brought records to first appointment but she had suggested a different approach). Further treatment offered on the day of the follow-up but I felt the practitioner was getting very defensive and I was losing confidence, so I declined. When I was waiting to go in someone else was trying to book a follow-up appointment. When she couldn’t get one desk staff said it probably didn’t matter as most people don’t need it! This clinic suits me location wise but unfortunately this wasn’t a great experience so I won’t go back.

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.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I recently had surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Newport and I honestly couldn’t fault the care I received. From start to finish, the staff were outstanding and made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm, reassuring, and well looked after. A special mention has to go to Esther and Megan R — they were absolutely fantastic during my stay. Both were incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely caring, and they really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and supported. I can’t recommend the level of care highly enough. If anyone is considering having a procedure done privately, I would 100% recommend St. Joseph’s Hospital. The standard of care is excellent, and I felt in safe hands throughout.

Professor Peter George

Respiratory Doctor

Professor George was very pleasant and easy to talk to. I explained the breathing difficulties I have been experiencing and that I had already seen several consultants without any success. He had clearly reviewed my notes beforehand and was well prepared for the appointment. He arranged the necessary tests straight away and was very reassuring throughout. He explained the next steps clearly and took the time to dictate a summary of our discussion during the consultation to ensure nothing was missed and that we were fully aligned. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience. Professor George is thorough and highly experienced, and I feel confident that my care is in the right hands.

Essex Private GP

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Diagnostics & Testing, + 2 more

After a mole on my shoulder began to grow, I booked a private consultation with a specialist who had removed others by Crotherapy. He told me that he could only do it after the infection which had caused it to change, had been cured and prescribed a course of antibiotics. The infection increased after several courses of six different antibiotics which were prescribed by my NHS practice were not able to halt its progress. My daughter Annie convinced me to book an appointment at Essex Private GP. I was seen on the same day and the correct antibiotics to target the infection were identified and prescribed at my first visit. There is already a significant improvement, thank you.

Nuffield Health The Manor Hospital Oxford

The Manor Hospital appeared clean, pleasant environment and staff were friendly. There is however one major issue - Car Parking. I nearly missed my appointment despite arriving 35 minutes prior. The car park does not appear adequate for the volume of patients and staff. A vehicle had been parked and blocked the car park, presumably because they thought were going to miss their appointment. This was resolved by creating a one way system which finally allowed me to, by luck, get a space. As an improvement it might be good if when booking, the booker tells the patient of possible alternative car parks in the area that they might have to use?

Mr Srijit Banerjee

Urologist

I had an excellent experience with Mr Banerjee. From the first consultation through to the procedure and aftercare, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism, clarity, and care. He took the time to explain each step, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel completely at ease throughout what could otherwise be a stressful experience. The procedure itself went smoothly, recovery was exactly as explained, and I felt very well supported the entire time. I’m extremely grateful for the high standard of care and would highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

Mr Sohail Ahmed

Ophthalmologist

I had an excellent experience with Mr Ahmed for my upper eyelid blepharoplasty. From the initial consultation, everything was explained clearly and thoroughly, which made me feel very comfortable and confident in proceeding. The doctor was professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. The procedure went smoothly, and the aftercare and follow-up were outstanding. My results look very natural and have made a noticeable improvement—my eyes look refreshed and more youthful without appearing overdone. I am extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Mr Ahmed.

Westminster Women's Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Fertility Medicine, + 8 more

Dr. Linda Farahani is truly exceptional in every sense. Her scientific knowledge, clinical precision, and clear explanations make you feel completely confident and safe throughout the process. Beyond her expertise, her kindness, empathy, and warm personality genuinely set her apart. She listens carefully, treats patients with great respect, and approaches every case with both intelligence and heart. I truly believe she represents the very best of this clinic, and I am grateful to be under her care. Highly recommended without any hesitation.

Mr Tamer Ghatwary Tantawy

Vascular Surgeon

From the first consultation with Mr Ghatwary, through surgery , follow up consultations and final discharge, I was treated with compassion, care and true professionalism. I clearly understood the surgery I was to under go and the reason for the choice. Without doubt I needed surgery to ease the discomfort I was suffering with, and I’m now delighted that I am discomfort free and cosmetically my body is returning to normality. I could not have been treated better or wished for a better result had I been treated as a private patient.

Dr Grisham Smotra

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

The consultant Dr Smotra was outstanding. Her bedside manner was so reassuring - she put me at my ease and explained everything thoroughly. I was anxious about the endometrial biopsy (having had a very painful one in the past with a different clinician some years ago) but she was gentle and calming - it was soon over with! Lucy the nurse was also brilliant, caring for me and bringing my anxious husband in to see me afterwards. We both felt very well looked after. Thank you so much.

Professor Richard Field

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Professor Field has replaced both of my hips over the past two years. I am so grateful to him for his excellent work, understanding and friendly manner. Both operations have been highly successful and I am looking forward to fully resuming pickleball very soon. Thank you to Zoe as well for ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that any queries were answered promptly. I can absolutely recommend Prof. Field.
