Miss Parveen Abedin

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

If you are a woman facing decisions about ovarian surgery and feeling unsure what to do, this review is for you. Before meeting Dr Abedin, I had already been advised elsewhere that I might need removal of the ovary and fallopian tube, possibly through a vertical open incision. It was an overwhelming prospect. Dr Abedin approached my case differently. She listened carefully, assessed everything thoroughly, and explained that preservation might still be possible. She did not minimise the complexity, the cyst was very large (20-25 cm), but she balanced realism with sound surgical judgement. The operation was completed laparoscopically and my ovary was preserved. I am deeply grateful, and my recovery has been smooth. The outcome reflects not only technical skill, but experience, restraint, and the confidence to choose the most appropriate approach rather than the most radical one. I am writing this not only in gratitude, but as reassurance to other women: seek a surgeon who listens, thinks independently, and prioritises preserving healthy tissue whenever it is safely possible. In my case, that made all the difference.

Newmedica Cheshire Oaks

Ophthalmology

My experience with the Newmedica clinic Cheshire Oaks and its staff was of an exceptionally high standard! It offers a high class customer service! The clinic is very modern and very clean. Easy to travel to. From the receptionist to the specialist ophthalmologist team to the Consultant are all very professional, very friendly and caring. The waiting time is very quick and the atmosphere is very calming. The hot drinks offered are plenty and a biscuit is a nice touch too!. The pre-op assessment, the consultation and the surgery to the aftercare was excellent and professional. Every step of the procedure is explained clearly. The staff all put the customer first. You feel very confident and reassured by their care and support for a very delicate operation. I would highly recommend Newmedica Cheshire Oaks. Thank you to you all for looking after me!

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I cannot rate the hospital highly enough following my recent operation. From the moment I arrived I was looked after by a number of staff members, all of who could not do enough to ensure I was comfortable, informed and had everything I needed. In particular nurses Damian, Sonia, Cindy and Salmon were wonderful, also the catering lady who's name i didn't catch, Steve the pharmacist, Mr Murray the anesthetist, and Mr Lewis the surgeon. All the staff were very friendly and relaxed which helped me settle in a situation I could have felt very uncomfortable and nervous in. Even though this procedure was covered by insurance I would not hesitate to self pay in the future if needed to have this level of care again.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

All staff, from reception to nurses and surgeons, I found to be friendly, courteous, helpful and professional. I was generally rather nervous about the whole process, this being the very first time I experienced any form of surgery or a stay in hospital. However, I was treated with the utmost respect and understanding and felt well advised at all times, allowing me to make informed decisions at my own pace, without being pressured. I had to wait a bit longer than I had anticipated for surgery but by comparison to the NHS, it was efficient and slick. It is early days to comment properly on my shoulder replacement but things are progressing well although slowly and I am hopeful for the future.

The Princess Grace Hospital Outpatients

Diagnostics & Testing, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 7 more

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.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

As soon as I got there I was encouraged to relax, when i went in to the theatre for my procedure the nurses Lissy Jacob and Sue Gatrell made me feel very relaxed and explained how to take the gas and air, then Mr Farrukh Khan the consultant explained in detail what he was about to do. Op went well only a slight bit of pain so quick puff of gas helped. Passed on to recovery nurse who's name i didn't get but she was very good checking me over and making me laugh before discharging me. WOULD SAY ANYONE HAVING TO GO HERE WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER.

Mr Billy Jowett

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can't speak more highly of Mr Jowett. Although I was slightly nervous he immediately put me at my ease. His examination of both my feet was extremely gentle and very thorough. Mr Jowett explained everthing to me at each stage of the consultation, including showing me the x-rays. I'm most impressed with the follow up platform, where I can read Mr Jowett's resume of our meeting and his diagnosis. Also the different options, should I wish to go ahead with surgery, and what that would involve, pre and post operatively.

Ms Christina Kourie

Audiologist

For several years now Christina Kourie at the King's Road Pindrop clinic has cared for me and my hearing aid needs, and more recently for my wife too. Throughout this time I have been immensely impressed by her knowledge and professionalism, matched by outstanding client care and sensitivity. She comes with my strongest recommendation. Equally, I strongly commend the consistently friendly and exceptionally efficient support provided by Georgia at the front desk

Mr Amresh Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Singh was brilliant from start to finish. He explained everything really well, made me and my husband feel i was in really good, experienced, proffessional hands. He did an outstanding job, I was in pain for so long, and unable to do many of the daily activities id always taken for granted, even very basic things like putting my socks on! From my life getting smaller and smaller, I now feel like i can start living again, no more pain. Thank you so much.

Mr Greville Farrar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Farrar is simply an incredible surgeon. I had my MPFL reconstructed in August and his work has completely changed my life. From struggling with frequent dislocations and constant anxiety I am now living worry free about my knee and am working my way back to my normal activities. Mr Farrar is incredibly approachable and professional and from first consultation to post op I couldn’t have wished for a better surgeon. Thank you again!

The Lister Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Fertility Medicine, Orthopaedic Surgery, + 12 more

My experiences at the Lister hospital were generally positive. The facilities are clean and modern. The wait time was variable but generally ok. There wasn't much continuity in the nursing and sonography staff I saw which is a shame, and the quality was variable, but in general most of my experiences were with skilled and knowledgeable staff. On a few occasions I wasn't entirely confident in the nurse or sonographer treating me.

Ms Sonia Chachan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a consultation and an internal ultrasound with Dr Chachan, and she was incredibly kind, gentle, and reassuring throughout. She made me feel completely at ease and even brought some humour into the appointment, which really helped and made the experience much more comfortable. She is clearly very skilled and knowledgeable, and I felt I was in excellent hands. I would 100% recommend her.

OneWelbeck

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 20 more

Over many many years I have visited Harley street practices both for myself and my family .i truly found 1 Welbeck a very delightful experience! A lovely clinic ultra modern but designed beautifully - reception staff were so helpful even giving me some plasters when I cut my finger !! Very sweet and friendly - I preferred this clinic to many others. Very pleasant experience

Mr Giles Stafford

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From the first appointment, I have had confidence that Mr Stafford is a trustworthy and highly skilled surgeon. He has been clear and careful in his communication, alerting me to risks and also describing the procedure in detail. Now that I am post-op, he is supportive in my progress and clear in what I should and should not be doing. I couldn't ask for better.

Dr Irfana Koita

Fertility Medicine

My experience with Dr. Irfana has been wonderful. Fertility treatment can be stressful, but she showed great compassion, patience, and professionalism at every stage. She always made sure I understood my treatment and answered all my questions. I felt safe and well cared for under her guidance. I am truly thankful to Dr. Irfana for her support and dedication.

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Sonography, Pain Management, + 37 more

I had the best taking blood experience at MUMS. Usually it takes about 4-5 goes of me being pricked with a needle and it’s usually quite uncomfortable but here the doctor really took his time trying to find my veins and kept checking in on my wellbeing. I was only pricked once and it was successful (and no bruising afterwards). I would highly recommend.
