Mr Anthony Antoniou

General Surgeon

My wife and I live in Nottinghamshire and I was referred urgently to Mr Antoniou at St Marks under the National Referral Scheme, as none of the Colorectal Consultants in the Midlands had experience of my problem or in treating it. We only waited a short time for the appointment and travelled down to London. Mr Antoniou called us into the consulting room personally and his warmth and demeanour immediately gave us total confidence in him and we knew I was in expert hands. He took time to explain the issue in detail and the proposed surgical procedure which we then discussed. Crucially, we were part of the discussion as opposed to be spoken at, which we were very grateful for. Two weeks later I was admitted to St Marks and went to Theatre where, again, Mr Antoniou was very pleasant and I felt at ease, despite the procedure I was about to undergo. When I awoke on the Ward post surgery, Mr Antoniou visited my wife and I and explained that all had gone well, again very reassuring. I have recently seen Mr Antoniou in Clinic for a 12 month check and, as ever, Mr Antoniou was friendly and welcoming and reassured us that all was well and that if I had future concerns, I should contact his secretary. I cannot commend or recommend Mr Antoniou highly enough for all aspects of the care and compassion he showed to my wife and I during a difficult time, especially being so far from home. We will be forever grateful.

Mr Graeme Hopper

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am an international masters hockey player , which normally involves playing 5 full games over a 10 day period. Eighteen months ago I got constant pain in my left knee. During a tournament last year I was really struggling to play as was in constant pain from game one and it only got worse over the tournament. I got an MRI and had a consultation with a specialist knee surgeon, who stated that the pain was mainly due to wear and tear. The cartilage had thinned and there were signs of osteoarthritis and inflammation. We tried a cortisone injection which did absolutely nothing for me. I was reluctant to get a partial knee replacement but was not keen on the recovery time and also how successful it would be. After finding out about arthromacid and doing some research I decided to give it a go as it is much less invasive than surgery. The procedure was very straightforward and had a bit of stiffness and a bit of constant pain for about 10 days. Since then I have had bit of constant pain but the majors thing is that I don’t notice it when playing and even managed to play 5 games in 10 days with only a very slight degradation in performance and no significant increase in pain. I am very pleased with the outcome of the procedure and am hoping to be continue playing into the future.

We went today for our gender scan. The waiting room was lovely and was nice to have a drink and biscuit whilst waiting. We were early and went in not long after our appointment time. Once in the scan the two ladies were lovely and so friendly. Our baby was being difficult and didn’t want us to see what gender they were. They checked everything else for us and did all the measurements and checks which we were grateful for. The ladies did everything they could to not have our journey wasted. I first was sent for a wee, then a walk and a hot drink. Baby was still sitting cross legged whilst cuddling the cord so told us to go shopping and then come back. Once arriving back the lady told us to sit and wait and she’ll come get us once she could. Wasn’t waiting long and went back in. Finally was able to see our babies gender. The Ladies loved seeing our baby, laughed with us about their movements as they were active and couldn’t reassure us more that our baby was happy and healthy. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. We didn’t have the best first experience with NHS but this had made up for it. Will forever recommend this place to friends and family.

Dr James Thing is a miracle worker—I am now walking almost completely normally for the first time in almost a year. I had a Baker's Cyst which he drained and injected. I had limped into his office, barely able to walk and I (almost) skipped out. He did a scan on my foot but wouldn't do an injection until I had an MRI. This is good medicine as he wanted to be sure he was injecting in exactly the right place, and indeed, he wanted to make sure an injection was the right thing to do (which it was). The foot is so much better. I am back to walking my normal 4 ½ -5 mile routes without much difficulty. Dr James Thing is a brilliant doctor! What I like is that you go in, he does an ultrasound to make a diagnosis, and if appropriate, he carries out the procedure there and then. No waiting for additional appointments at additional costs. Treatment and relief are immediate. That is amazing to find in this day and age.

Dr Shankara Paneesha

Haematologist

I have been a patient of Dr. Paneesha’s for around six months now. Being diagnosed with my condition, I knew that it was going to be a long road and a tough battle to good health. Dr. Paneesha’s reputation preceded him and upon meeting him he assured me that I was in good hands, and he definitely kept his promise. He is such a thorough, caring and attentive person. Always greeting me with a smile along with a joke or two, easing the tension in the room. Whether it’s good or not so good news, his delivery is always honest and always impeccable. Now, I am on the other side of treatment and I’ve just received the most amazing news regarding my health, and I am so happy he was guiding me through my journey. Thank you Dr. Paneesha.

Miss Umarji is a caring and professional orthopaedic surgeon . She was determined to make my symptoms better . Having consulted with another orthopefiac surgeon in march when my symptoms first started were there was no treatment suggested , Miss Umarji sent me to do MRI and RXay on the day and alíviate my symptoms by providing a steroid injection . I am very pleased she saw how important my hands were for my daily living and was not going to leave them to deteriorate any further . The rest, is my responsibility to continue with the hand exercises and antiinflamatorio diet . I highly recommend Miss Umarji .

Mr Anwar Jafri

Orthopaedic Surgeon

. Mr Jaffri is an excellent communicator who is very reassuring and approachable. He carried out a detailed investigation into my condition and explained everything clearly, including a thorough description of the procedure. The operation itself and the post-operative care were excellent, with my recovery very well managed. I achieved a really good outcome and am now back to a very good level of functioning. He was always punctual and made himself available outside of consultations when needed, which was greatly appreciated. I felt well informed and confident in his care throughout.

Dr Mauro Lencioni

Cardiologist

Dr. Lencioni performed my ablation along with Dr. De Bono. He is a very calm, reassuring and patient doctor. I was very anxious about the procedure initially but Dr. Lencioni has such a good "bedside manner" that I felt quite ready for the procedure to start. The procedure went well and my after care was excellent. Any questions I had were promptly answered. I received outstanding care from Dr. Lencioni, Dr. De Bono, and Michelle, the practice manager at Birmingham Heart Rhythm Group. I am so grateful because - for now, I have my life back!

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

I’ve been a customer at Quality Dental for a while now and they’ve always been amazing. More recently, I’ve been seeing Dr. Ahmed for a filling, and he is fantastic. Coming from someone who is usually terrified of needles, I was naturally nervous, but he is incredibly gentle and patient. He took the time to make sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process and his work is top-tier. It’s been a total relief to find a dentist who actually listens and makes the experience stress-free. I can’t recommend him and the team enough!

The staff was great. I was on the ground floor ward and was well taken care off. Members of staff were kind, courteous and helpful. I specifically note that staff members such as Sibo, Clementina, Clara and Ashy were very good and efficient and overall made my treatment a positive experience. My one to one therapist was excellent, in that Holly. I do however note that the food quality was inconsistent, at times the meals were good but there were times where things fell short as limited alternatives were available.

Living Mind

Psychiatry

Living Mind provides a very high standard of care for ADHD treatment. The overall process was well organised, professional, and efficient, from initial assessment through to ongoing support. Communication was clear and timely, and the approach felt structured while still being personalised. The quality of care has had a clear positive impact on my daily functioning, and I would confidently recommend the clinic to others seeking specialist ADHD support.

I was very early for the appointment so was encouraged to go to cafe and assured I would be called when they were ready. The receptionist answered our questions with a friendly manner. The nurse was very attentive and explained the procedure whilst preparing the cannular. She even brought blankets as it was chilly in the room. The cardiologist gave time to explain the findings afterwards and advised regarding medication. Excellent service!

Prof. Ben Miranda

Plastic Surgeon

I couldn’t be happier. Everything was easy, fully explained, no hassle and I felt comfortable and confident with my decisions. Nothing I asked or requested was too much an all the staff involved were fantastic. Prof. Miranda was honest and explained everything in detail. Allowed me to chop and change my mind until I was completely happy. I would definitely recommend and would have any further cosmetic surgery with him again.

I had a telephone consultation with Dr Rakesh Patel today. He was kind, understanding, positive, practical and clear. He took a thorough history and was very empathetic, offering realistic suggestions on lifestyle strategies as well as medical support. I have a clear plan of action and would feel confident in recommending Dr Patel to anyone else wanting a warm, well-informed and efficient experience.

I have had physiotherapy treatment with Seth Chambers for several months for various conditions. I was very pleased with Seth's advice which was instructive and really helpful in treating my injuries. It was also very useful that he could refer me to the musculo-skeletal doctor Sarah Rollins at the same practice who was also excellent. I am now injury free and would happily recommend both of them.

Dr. Srinivasagam Muthumeenal

Paediatrician

Upon arrival, we were told that our appointment was cancelled and a letter should have been sent to us about this (this hadn't happened) but the team managed to fit us in. Still unclear why the appointment was cancelled but we were seen that's the main thing. The staff we met were all lovely and engaged kindly with our infant daughter
