Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, General Surgery, + 39 more

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

Miss Dana Touqmatchi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have been seeing Dr. Dana for the past four years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I’ve received. She looked after me throughout both of my pregnancies and was consistently professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive and kind. Dr. Dana was always very reassuring and readily available to answer any questions or worries I had, which made such a difference during pregnancy. I recently had a C-section earlier this year, and the entire experience was far more positive and calm than I could have hoped for. Everything was clearly explained, and I felt listened to, safe, and cared for every step of the way. Her bedside manner is warm and compassionate, and she genuinely cares about her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Dana to anyone looking for exceptional pregnancy and women’s health care.

Matrix Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology

The treatment I received at the Matrix Eye Clinic was excellent from both Mr Guy Smith and his first class team. The results from the cataract operation in both eyes is sensational. My eyesight is significantly improved, the length, the accuracy and the intensity of the colour are all enhanced. I am absolutely delighted. Before I had the operation I was considering exchanging our television for a new model because I was having difficulty in reading small print and the scene was blurred. Now I can enjoy watching. Amazing! I have no hesitation in recommending Matrix Eye Clinic.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

This was my 2 nd cataract op with Mr Kamran Khan at Newmedica Leeds. I was very happy with my treatment with everyone especially Wr Kamran Khan who I can’t recommend enough, he was friendly, assuring and also the lovely nurse who looked after me after my op. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was so caring. Anyone going for a cararact op this place is brilliant and everyone I came in contact with both times I was there I feel I couldn’t have had better. Someone calls you the following day to check that you are okay so everything perfect. Thank you all.

OCL Vision London

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Ophthalmology

I had Smartsight surgery with Allon Barsam about 2 months ago. The whole process from initial consultation, to surgery, to follow up appointments has been fantastic, and I would highly recommend OCL to anyone considering vision correction. You really get that premium, personalised feel here. Everyone I interacted with was kind, helpful and reassuring. I'm delighted with my new vision and the days of having to think about contacts and glasses feel like a distant memory. A heartfelt thank you to the whole OCL Vision team!

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I am very happy with my first experience at the Practice today. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. It was so reassuring to be certain I was seeing an actual medically qualified person (uncertain in todays NHS) whose judgement therefore I felt I could trust. Dr Ridout was very understanding and approachable - an attentive listener, carried out an objective examination and was happy to discuss it together with why she was suggesting the proposed treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this Practice.

Dr. Sebastian Hendricks

Audiologist, Audiovestibular Medicine Practitioner, + 2 more

The doctor was absolutely fantastic, very kind, patient, and understanding of A’s needs. A has additional needs and can become anxious during appointments, but the doctor handled him with great care and calmness, which made a huge difference. Because of this supportive approach, As was comfortable and cooperative, and the appointment went very smoothly. As a parent, this means a lot to me, and I truly appreciate the time, empathy, and professionalism shown. Thank you for providing such excellent care.

Mr Ali Al Chami

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Ali Al Chami is a honest, hard-working, caring professional. He switched my stim and transfer protocol after several failed attempts elsewhere. When he first saw me, he didn’t make promises, but said we could try one more time in the hope of getting at least one good embryo to transfer - and it did work! He was the only consultant who switched protocols for me and found what ended up working! He has held my hand throughout the process and believed in my case even where I had almost lost hope.

Spire Portsmouth Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), General (Internal) Medicine, + 8 more

Very happy to see Miss Fraser 6 weeks after my fascial sling which has completely stopped my stress incontinence . I'm pleased to say my operation has been a success more than I ever expected and Miss Frazer and her team have been amazing from beginning to end . Wish I had this done sooner rather than waiting after 10 years of bladder issues since child birth . Looking forward to being able to do normal activities with my children without having to worry about my badder . Thank you so much .

Mr Leonidas Vachtsevanos

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having had a full left knee replacement, I couldn't speak more highly of Mr Leo. It's a big operation, and it requires a surgeon who is extremely competent in what he does. His homework beforehand, which he did very thoroughly in sizing the new knee, and his aftercare was 100%. Together with that, he explained everything that was going to happen, did happen, and he has a very reassuring and empathetic manner, which is also very important. Couldn't recommend him more!

Professor Raj Persad

Urologist

Prof Raj Persad personally called me to give me the most expert advice based on the medical details of my prostate cancer that I was able to relate to him. His thought processes were clear and concise - and ad a Layman I was absolutely able to understand the advice he was giving me. This advice will enable me to take a very important decision about the treatment I will opt for to give me the best possible outcome. Chapeau to Prof Persad 🙏🏻

Central Health London

Obstetric Medicine, General Practice (GP), + 6 more

Central Health London was a wonderful place to attend my antenatal appointments. It is a lovely, calm setting, always very clean, with friendly and welcoming staff, including the midwives, who made each visit enjoyable. I genuinely looked forward to my appointments, which speaks volumes about the supportive and reassuring atmosphere. I would highly recommend the practice to anyone seeking antenatal care.

Cambridge Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I arrived on time and the receptionist was in situ. As a private patient self funding I went through the paper work and had to wait only a couple of minutes before I was taken through for the Echocardiogram. The same sonographer had carried out the procedure the year before and she was so welcoming which immediately put me at ease. She was efficient and professional and I had every confidence in her.

Dr Muhammed A Ottayil

Paediatrician

Dr Ottayil was brilliant, he had a very friendly and relaxed manner, listening to my daughter very carefully about her migraines and life. She felt confident to talk about her physical and mental health circumstances. We appreciated that Dr Ottayil explained a plan and proposed medication to us both. She came away confident and reassured about her condition. We were very impressed.

Dr May Teoh

Oncologist

Dr May Teoh is sympathetic and very knowledgeable, with a reassuring manner that puts you at ease. She takes the time to listen carefully, explains everything clearly, and answers questions without making you feel rushed. I felt fully informed, supported, and confident throughout my appointment, and very fortunate to see her. Highly recommend.

Mr Rupert Wharton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Wharton has been fantastic from start to present with my arm issues (not fully healed yet). He has always been clear, kind and confident at every appointment. He has put me at ease throughout my operations, and has been understandinv and taken my job and hobbies into account when treating me. I cannot recommend him enough!
