Mr Tahir Mahmud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I underwent a unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in November 2025 performed by Mr Mahmud, and I am extremely pleased with both the surgical outcome and the overall care I received. From the initial consultation, Mr Mahmud was clear, measured, and reassuring. He explained why a UKR was appropriate in my case, whilst also providing me with alternative options. He set realistic expectations about recovery, which have proven to be very accurate. I felt well informed and confident proceeding with surgery. My recovery has progressed exactly as advised and whilst there has been some stiffness and swelling I have felt improvements day by day. One of the most noticeable improvements for me was how smooth the knee felt when bending — the grinding and grating sensation I experienced pre-operatively has now gone completely. I have received an additional benefit in significantly reduced hip pain due to the realigned knee joint, this was noticable from early in my post op recovery period and has maintained throughout. I have now been discharged from physiotherapy with no restrictions, clear guidance to self-manage progression, and confidence in the strength and stability of the implant. That reassurance has been invaluable as I’ve returned to exercise and everyday activity. Overall, the care was professional, calm, and expertly delivered. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with my knee at 10 weeks post op. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Mahmud to anyone considering a partial knee replacement.

Sonoworld Diagnostic Services

Imaging (Scans), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Daniela Stan quite literally saved my life. I originally went to her for a routine abdominal ultrasound. Through her exceptional thoroughness and care, she suggested that I also check my thyroid and breasts — something I had never done before. I was not even aware that breast ultrasound was available as a screening option, as I had always thought mammograms were the only way. During this examination, Daniela found a very small invasive breast cancer at a stage where I had absolutely no symptoms. I had done yearly blood tests and many types of screening, but never breast imaging, simply because I did not know ultrasound was possible. My biopsy specialist and cancer treatment team later told me that Daniela is truly the hero of my story. Had it not been for her expertise and vigilance in finding such a small lesion, a few years later my situation could have been dramatically different. Daniela has many years of experience in both the UK and the US and it shows in every aspect of her work. She is incredibly thorough, highly skilled and deeply compassionate. What also deeply impressed me is that her fees are extremely affordable and she even offers free follow-up scans in cases where she finds lesions — something that speaks volumes about her integrity and genuine care for her patients. I urge every woman to prioritise breast screening and to see Daniela if possible. I will be forever grateful to her — she truly changed the course of my life.

I went to the Urgent Care Centre at Chase Lodge Hospital, Mill Hill London on Saturday Nov. 29th 2025. I was seen immediately by an outstanding Urgent Care MD, Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh. He listened, he checked me thoroughly, ordered the required tests, sent me for Chest-Xray (done on site), while spending the time explaining it all. At the end, he diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia and bilateral conjunctivitis, prescribed the appropriate treatment which was started on-site (pharmacy on site). The following day, a Sunday, he arranged for me a Chest-CT and an appointment with respiratory physician specialist for the following Monday. The whole team, each and everyone, the receptionists, the nurse, the Xray person and the pharmacist were all helpful, efficient and professional. They all played a role in my speedy recovery. I returned to the Centre on Saturday Jan. 17th and was seen again by Dr. Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh on a related issue and again encountered, professionalism, efficiency all with a smile.

I received my care at the Spire Regency Hospital in Macclesfield following a unicompartmental knee replacement in November 2025, and the standard of care throughout was excellent. From recovery through to the ward, the post-operative care was consistently compassionate, professional, and attentive. Every member of staff I encountered — from nursing and medical staff to healthcare assistants, physiotherapists, and catering staff — was kind, supportive, and clearly committed to patient wellbeing. Although I didn’t manage to note everyone’s name, those I did were outstanding and a real credit to the hospital. The physiotherapy support was particularly impressive. My post-operative physiotherapist understood exactly how far my knee should be bending at each stage and struck the right balance between encouragement and reassurance. This helped me overcome the understandable mental barriers around pain and guarding, and I was given a clear and structured recovery exercise plan to follow at home.

Mr George Louis Daniel Cox

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had an excellent experience under the care of Mr Cox for my shoulder surgery. From the initial consultation through to post-operative follow-up, the standard of care was exceptional. Mr Cox took the time to clearly explain my diagnosis, the treatment options, and the procedure itself, which gave me complete confidence and reassurance throughout. The surgery was highly successful and my recovery has progressed exactly as outlined. Mr Cox’s expertise, professionalism, and calm, approachable manner were evident at every stage. I am extremely grateful for the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking specialist shoulder care.

Cromwell Hospital

Paediatrics, Cardiology, + 17 more

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

Mr Lalin Navaratne

General Surgeon

I was admitted to St Mary’s for emergency upper GI surgery and had the good fortune to be assigned to Lal Navaratne. I have never before known such a caring, friendly, considerate, down-to-earth consultant. Lal not only saved my life (laparoscopically!) he visited me twice a day during recovery, arranged a transfer to my chosen ward, and introduced me to a charming health coordination doctor. Lal is everything one would wish for in a medical professional, a brilliant surgeon, and a really lovely human being. My overall care at St Mary’s was first class and second to none, in which Lal played a key role.

Mr Philip Dobson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Dobson saw me recently for ongoing pain I have had in my right knee. He had looked after me previously for a skiing injury to the same knee and I fully trusted his expertise in a new issue. He was extremely polite and professional and diagnosed a medial meniscal tear. My investigations were prompt and he went out of his way to find a treatment date that was convenient for me. I’m now 3 months post arthroscopic debridment and microfracture and I am pain free with full movement and have started running and training again. Couldn’t be happier with the treatment and fully recommend him!

AURA Centre of Dental Excellence & Facial Aesthetics

I recently visited AURA for a routine examination and dental hygiene appointment. The team conveniently scheduled both so I could have everything done in a single visit. Dental hygienist Marta provided a thorough yet gentle clean and polish, along with helpful advice on maintaining good tooth and gum health. Dr Nadine Skipp is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but also very kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Everyone at AURA was friendly, professional, and welcoming.

Mr Andrew Shepherd

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a full knee replacement and was absolutely delighted with the outcome. As expected, the first two weeks were sore with limited movement, but from there on the progress was fantastic. I increased the level of exercise and was so pleased with the range of movement and knee bend I was able to achieve. Strength increased and by twelve weeks post op, I was back playing club tennis. I really can’t say enough re Andrew’s professionalism and competence. A complete success.

Mr Andreas Baumann

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently underwent shoulder surgery due to a ligament injury . My experience of Dr Baumann was excellent he has a friendly personable approach and his expertise in this field is clear to see - he listened to my concerns and gave me clear explanation of the causes of the symptoms I was experiencing- talked me through what he would be doing during the operation and prepared me for post operative care - I’m very grateful for his support throughout - a thoroughly nice man !

Mrs Katy Rosalyn Hogben

General Surgeon

I wanted a bilateral breast reduction for a while but was nervous about the long term implications of the operation. Mrs Hogben explained everything in a way that I understood, whilst also being clear and transparent. I found her to be incredibly reassuring from my first consultation right up to the post operation check in. Having a breast reduction has been life changing and Mrs Hogben gave me the best possible care throughout, for which I am forever grateful.

Clarity - Coventry

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

I took the decision to have the cataracts removed from both eyes at the same time thereby reducing recovery time. It was an excellent decision - the care and professionalism provided by Clarity was excellent with clear and concise instructions. The administration of the necessary eye drops was all consuming for four weeks but well worth the effort. The difference in vision is quite astounding. Thank you Clarity.

General Practice (GP)

I managed to get an appointment straight away. The online system was very straightforward and the doctor I saw, Dr Jennifer Lamond was just lovely, very professional and gave me clear plan of action to deal with my symptoms. I required an Xray and within 1 hour of getting home the hospital had telephoned me to book me in. All very efficient.

Dr Ketaki Bhate

Dr Ketaki Bhate was very polite and friendly in a professional way, asking multiple questions and answering my questions as they arose. As we reached the end of the consultation Dr Bhate described the various treatment options relevant to my needs and patiently described what these would be.
