The Portland Hospital was a wonderful place to safely deliver our beautiful baby boy. Our experience was personalised, with very thorough and caring professionals. Our obstetrician, Dr Kenga Sivarajah, was incredibly knowledgable and kind: someone we could trust implicitely and who was there throughout the entire 22 hour labour to ensure a safe delivery. The Anaesthetic team were quick and very effective with the epidural, ensuring that my pain was well managed throughout, with no side effects from the epidural. The nursing staff, both on the delivery ward and maternity ward, were amazing. Ellie and Scarlet were there every step to make sure I was safe and comfortable during labour. On the birth ward, we had regular nurse check ins and a lot of help with breastfeeding positions and latch. There was the option of the night nursery as well, which we elected not to use. The room was very comfortable with a trundle bed for my partner to sleep and a private bathroom (hugely appreciated immediately post birth). The food was excellent, with an extensive menu. The kitchen was a bit slow on some of the orders, but otherwise very good. Overall, our Portland experience was wonderful and we would hope to deliver there again in future.

I can’t recommend Mr. Richard Scawn highly enough. Before meeting him, I had seen three other surgeons and even booked the operation twice but ended up cancelling because I didn’t feel fully confident. From my very first appointment with Richard, everything felt different. He was calm, kind, and incredibly reassuring — never pushy, never rushed — and both my husband and I instantly felt we were in safe hands. I trusted him completely, and I’m so glad I did. I’m now three weeks post–lower lid blepharoplasty and absolutely over the moon with the results. My bruising was minimal and disappeared quickly, and the scar line is genuinely impeccable. I’m 39, so my skin is still fairly young, but even with a magnifying mirror I cannot see the incision. The work Richard has done is truly amazing. If you’re considering this surgery, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Richard Scawn. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or the outcome.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

As per usual every part of my visit is very professional and all the communication is prompt and informative, it is good to receive a copy of the progress. My last visit was on Saturday 6th December and it was a review of the laser treatment on my left eye - I was delighted when the review confirmed that the pressure on my eye had fallen to normal - this was a 50% reduction. I only had to put one eye drop at night. This was very professional and I have a six monthly review in my diary for 2026. I would have no problems at all in recommending Cathedral Eye Clinic.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

As a healthcare professional I know what to look for when choosing health care services. Midlands Eye was absolutely fantastic. I know that I was in safe hands as soon as I walked in. Every single team member that I met during my visits were exceptionally caring answering all of my questions and guiding me through information gathering and decision making giving me all of the time that I needed. It was clear that everyone at Midland Eye work together for the best outcomes of their patients.

Nuffield Health North Staffordshire Hospital

General Practice (GP), Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

All members of the team are friendly and welcoming. They have personality and engage with patients. Everything appears to be well organised and runs smoothly. The clinic is clean and fresh. All instructions/requests are explained in a helpful clear manner and staff are attentive and go the extra mile. All staff impress as being very caring. During a recent stay for surgery, everyone with whom I came into contact was very kind and helpful. I felt like I was in very safe hands.

Dr Tapesh Pakrashi

Cardiologist

I obviously can’t comment on Dr Pakrashi’s medical skills but I found him to be very kind and understanding. He put me at ease, listened well and ran tests that appeared to me to be very appropriate to my condition. He always made the effort to explain the purpose of the tests, what the results meant and his findings from them. Although there was no need for surgery, his advice has been very helpful since. I felt privileged to be under his care and would happily recommend him.

OneWelbeck

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 20 more

Despite paying through the nose for a blood test, I'm still waiting weeks later for results (est. results timeline 3-5 days). Also received additional bills for tests that weren't pre-defined as separate costs - some costs are clearly noted upfront, some others arent and this is deceptive and unprofessional. Whilst staff are friendly, waiting times are awful (40mins for a private blood test? Will be recommending all people to avoid until these issues are addressed

Poland Medical

Cardiology, Dentistry, + 12 more

I am very pleased with the service at Poland Medical. The staff are friendly, helpful and always professional. The reception team is well-organised, and appointments run smoothly without long waiting times. The doctors take their time, explain everything clearly and make you feel comfortable and well cared for. The whole clinic is clean and welcoming. I highly recommend Poland Medical to anyone looking for reliable and high-quality medical care

Mr Mustafa Yusuf

Ophthalmologist

I am extremely happy with the care Mr Yusuf provided for my baby who suddenly developed a swelling in her eyelid. He was very gentle in his approach, meaning my baby was very cooperative and comfortable during the examination. His explanation of the condition was clear, treatment plan was easy to follow and my baby's condition is now improving. He also provided me with useful links with all the information I needed. Would highly recommend.

Mr Munawar Hussain

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am so grateful to have seen Dr. Hussain. I’ve had chronic pelvic and abdominal pain for months and felt completely helpless after being misdiagnosed by other consultants. Dr. Hussain took the time to listen sincerely and explain the possible diagnoses and treatment options. For the first time, my husband and I feel confident and informed. I truly felt heard, and we finally have a clear plan moving forward.

Leominster Osteopaths & Therapies

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 6 more

I have visited a couple of times now and cannot fault anything. Very quick to book me in (next day appointment), and so welcoming and informative whenever I’m there. My back is so much better and I have a knowledge on how to help myself in between appointments. The appointments have been easy going and not at all awkward or embarrassing (which I worried they would be!). Would definitely recommend!

Mr Sayed Iqbal Miakhil

Urologist

I had been using self catheters for 8 years. It does impede on life. I waited 27 months for an HoLEP procedure, but it was worth the wait. I now empty my bladder as and when necessary instead of by regime. I was treated really well during my hospital stay and given guidance for my return home. It has revolutioned my life. I feel normal again. My thanks to doctors and staff.

Dr Matthew E Faircloth

Cardiologist

I have seen Dr Faircloth in relation to my hypertension, atrial fibrillation and aneurysm issues (not all at once) over the last ten years. On each occasion, his diagnostic skills have been swift and accurate. The prognosies and proposed remedial procedures were always delivered in a concise and sympathetic manner. This latest visit , the most serious, particularly so.

Professor Melvin Lobo

General (Internal) Medicine

He listened to every question I had and made me feel seen. He actually believed what I was saying and was very kind the entire time. He is amazing and I would highly recommend to anyone that doesn't seem to get any answers from anywhere else. He is also very educated and has been the biggest help for me on my health journey.

Mr Hisham Osman

General Surgeon

From the first appointment, Dr Osman was both informative and compassionate. He never made me feel like just a patient; he made me feel seen and heard. He listens carefully to every concern and answers each question with honesty and kindness. He made me feel safe and truly in good hands throughout the entire journey.

Mr Sumit Midya

General Surgeon

Fantastic service and clearly advised what was going to happen on the day, so I knew what to expect. After the surgery Mr Midya came to see me to advise all went well. I received a follow up call today also to check if everything was OK. I advised everything was great and healing well and no problems.
