Professor Graeme Hopper

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After nearly six years of seeing multiple specialists and being told there was nothing wrong with my knee — and that I simply needed to strengthen it — I was feeling incredibly frustrated and unheard. During that time, I experienced repeated episodes where my knee would completely lock. The pain was agonising, and I would have to wait, unable to move my leg, until the meniscus shifted back into place. When I was finally referred to Mr Hopper, he identified the problem within 15 minutes of examining me. After years of uncertainty, it was such a relief to feel listened to and understood. I underwent meniscus repair surgery a couple of months later and am now seven weeks post-operation. Although I still have a few months of rehabilitation and recovery ahead of me, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful that I will truly have my life back. The difference already has been life-changing. Before surgery, I was constantly cautious and anxious about my movements, worried my knee would lock again. Now I feel so much more confident and comfortable. Mr Hopper was supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. After the operation, he personally came to see me and clearly explained what the issue had been and exactly how he had repaired it, which I really appreciated. I cannot recommend him highly enough — truly a 10 out of 5.

Mr Feisal Ali Shah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This is the first knee operation I have had and in the future my right knee will need a full or partial knee replacement and 100 per cent I would hope that Mr Shah will be the consultant. The experience was absolutely fantastic . The operation was on the 23 October 2025 and the results are wholly positive . I am back to hilly walking, gym classes and leading an active lifestyle. I have also seen an independent physiotherapist who has loads more experience in these matters than me…..he could not be more positive either re the operation all regards in terms of functionality and cosmetically and highly rates it, saying I have had a great job . He also said that my knee is in the top 1% of knee outcomes he has seen. In addition to the above my knee also bends many more degrees than pre operation and I can kneel on it .

Mr James Smith

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot praise the team at Chaucer Hospital highly enough following my recent right knee surgery. From the very start, the administrative staff made the admission process seamless and stress-free. My surgeon and anaesthetist were world-class, providing not only technical excellence but also the reassurance I needed heading into the procedure. Once on the ward, the care was exemplary; the ward doctors and nurses were attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. I must also give a special mention to the kitchen staff, as the foods were excellent—the quality and variety of the meals far exceeded my expectations for hospital dining. It was a truly holistic care experience where every department worked in perfect harmony, and I felt valued and well-cared for every step of the way.

This is truly a very pleasant clinic. All staff put you at ease and treat you very well. I had an upper endoscopy performed by Dr Craig Mowat. He is a really patient, polite and conscientious professional man who listened to my concerns and talked me through them. He was very thorough and suggested how I could relive my symptoms mean time until my procedure, which was only a few weeks later. He explained exactly what would happen. The experience was very calm and I was put at ease. Dr Mowat told me of his findings immediately after the procedure and called me to discuss biopsy results a couple of weeks later. The whole experience was calm and quickly put my fears to rest. Thank you very much for lifting a huge weight off my mind - I can now get back to enjoying life!

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Psychiatry, Psychology

Everyone I dealt with was great overall. The experience was good aside from a couple of mistakes which then lead to long delays. One of the assessment calls didn't work and I had made time to sit through it. They did try to rectify this quickly but it still took another few weeks which after such a long time was frustrating. Sometimes when I would ring up the person who would answer would be short and I didn't feel so comfortable speaking to them. Otherwise, I would recommend this service up to diagnosis - I am yet to try the medication and services beyond here. I wish there was more the NHS or RTN could provide to offer support post diagnosis. The recommendations are useful but I would like a little more.

Mr Joseph Manjaly

ENT Surgeon

Firstly Mr Manjaly empathy and the time given, and how compassionate he was about my situation was outstanding He gave clear instruction and didn’t go into things to confuse me, as he took me through each stage carefully, which really helped, the outcome ideas he gave were really realistic. Working through all of these we could then work out that the Osia device was a good option. Communication for surgery was quick and consise, he came himself to see me and explained things clearly and took on how I was feeling. After over half a century being totally deaf in one ear, isolated, depression what Mr Manjaly has been able to do for me has changed my life and I had nothing but excellent treatment.

Mr Varun Sahdev

Urologist

We had a great experience with Mr Sahdev. I had a Vasectomy 5 years ago and I met my now partner and we decided we wanted a child together so I booked Mr Sahdev for a Vasectomy Reversal. Mr Sahdev and his team were patient, explained the process in such great detail and were very kind throughout the whole process. I felt completely taken care of and the surgery itself went without a hitch. We have actually just found out we are pregnant on our 3rd cycle following the procedure and we couldnt be happier! All thanks to Mr Sahdev and his team, thank you so much! Its been a 1010 experience, minus the slight pain following the surgery of course!

Pretty straightforward experience overall. The receptionist on the first floor (the Somali lady wearing a hijab) was extremely kind and helpful. My phone was about to die and I asked if there was any chance of a charger- she went out of her way to help me, which I really appreciated. It’s the small things like that which leave a lasting impression, and that’s exactly why I wanted to leave this review. The only small suggestion I’d make is having oat milk available at the coffee machine for those who don’t have dairy, it would be a thoughtful and considerate touch.

Transform Health

Physiotherapy

I had a really positive experience with this pain management therapy service. From the first appointment, I felt listened to and taken seriously. The practitioner took the time to understand my symptoms, lifestyle, and history. Every session felt tailored to how I was describing the issues were. I’ve noticed a real improvement, not only in my pain levels but also in my mobility and overall day-to-day comfort. I also came away with practical advice and exercises to help manage things between sessions, which has made a big difference.

Mr Yuksel Gercek

General Surgeon

Mr Gercek provided an excellent service from start to finish. His manner was straightforward and all explanations were thoughtful and easy to understand. Importantly he listened and proposed an investigative approach that was thorough and covered all symptoms. This was an anxious period and the treatment process was efficiently managed which was very much appreciated. I would not hesitate to use the services of Mr Gercek again in the future. Thank you.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Everything was first class from reception to the nurse checks to the kind person who took me to surgery, the surgeon was nice to talk to, the team in the surgery room were efficient and kind. Back on ward the nurses were so lovely. I had a wobble (previous trauma) which unexpectedly made me emotional. They were so kind, non judgmental and all in particular Anna took time to be human - show human support from one female to another. It was appreciated.

Dr Mustafa Alnaib

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Alnaib explained the procedure extremely clearly. He is very skilled and professional as well as being patient and kind. I have now had 2 chronic problems sorted by Dr. Alnaib. He was realistic about the outcomes, which have exceeded my expectations. The treatment was painless and I am grateful to now be pain free. The cost was reasonable and I can't recommend him highly enough.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

I went for a sigmoidoscopy procedure at the ECEC just before Christmas. I was slightly nervous about having this procedure done but couldn’t have been put at anymore ease by the staff there. The consultant, those carrying out the procedure and nursing staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for making the whole experience bearable.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Iulia. I explained my situation to her, and she was extremely available, kind, and attentive while listening to me. We were able to discuss my concerns openly and work together to find suitable solutions. I truly appreciated her professionalism and her empathetic approach. I would definitely recommend her.

I feel so comfortable here after 3 years of no answers with the NHS. I have always been dismissed or gaslighted to think my issues are in my head. Mrs bulchandani has listened to me, addressed all my concerns and we have now found out the issue. I cant thank her enough has given me my confidence back.
