Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

Dr Sunila Jog

Paediatrician

I accompanied my teenage daughter to visit Dr Jog, following an initial consultation where my husband had been present. During the initial consultation, I had been overseas with work and because of the conviction my husband spoke about Dr Jog, I felt reassured and comforted that my daughter was in safe hands. Not being home for such a significant consultation was difficult but Dr Jog’s professionalism, confidence and assurance, as relayed by both my daughter and husband, made it a little easier for me. When it was time for our next consultation, we were apprehensive but were immediately put at ease by Dr Jog. She was sensitive to my daughter’s feelings, treated her with respect and grace, and spoke to her clearly without ambiguity. Dr Jog’s presence and conduct throughout our interactions was refreshing and reassuring. We would have rather not needed to attend the clinic at all, however I am grateful to Dr Jog for making the experience as positive as she did, for her kind words to my daughter and most importantly giving my daughter confidence on leaving the hospital to conquer the world! She is a true role model to young women.

Attended for a blood test. I’ve had multiple bad experiences with blood tests over the years. This is primarily because I have very small and narrow veins which disappear with the touch of a needle..☹️ I find the whole experience extremely painful and distressing … I explained all of this to Debbie, the wonderful and kind nurse who attended me. She was brilliant! Totally put me at ease and was incredibly supportive and gentle. I was definitely a challenge for her as my veins were completely uncooperative per usual. But she took her time and used the smallest needle possible to minimise any discomfort. She succeeded in the end and managed to get enough blood for a full blood count!! Miraculous! I am so very grateful to Debbie for turning a potentially very upsetting and negative experience into a positive outcome. She has helped me to regain a little more confidence in having my blood taken again. Thank you Debbie! 😊

Cleveland Clinic Moorgate Outpatient Centre

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology, + 8 more

Asked to be 15 mins early for scan, but then not called until 30 mins or so after time of appointment without any prior indication of running late (perhaps because it was at 6pm ). Head scanner was still busy so junior radiologer kindly chatted to me for 15 mins after I'd changed to kill time. Having been told it would take 15 mins, scan took about 45 mins and team forgot to talk to me or put music on despite me saying I was a bit claustrophic (but can get by ok). Then at 8pm, no doubt in rush to scan next person, they didn't remove cannula so i wandered around to find another staff member to do that who happily obliged. Not a major problem but not up to Cleveland usual standards. Staff were all very friendly though, but perhaps clinic shouldn't book in patients at end of day if they can't really handle them properly.

Miss Lucy Satherley

General Surgeon

I first attended Miss Satherley's clinic six months ago. With a family history of breast cancer, I was left feeling very concerned when my GP sent me for investigation. I am so grateful to have found Miss Satherley. She has managed to calm the deep seated fear I have regarding my family history and spent no end of time listening to my questions and worries, taking time to explain everything to me in such a clear and concise manner, and even took the time to teach me a self examination technique. To know I have Miss Satherley to turn to should I find anything I'm uncertain of has made no end of difference. I cannot recommend Miss Satherley enough to anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation to myself.

CAS Medical

General Practice (GP), Primary Care

I had an outstanding experience with Dr Socklingham. From the very beginning, he was warm, caring, and genuinely attentive, taking the time to listen carefully without ever making me feel rushed. His communication was clear and reassuring, and I felt fully involved in every step of the decision-making process. What truly stood out was the rapid feedback and proactive approach to treatment planning — I received timely follow-up, clear explanations, and a well-thought-out plan that gave me real confidence. The consultation was delivered with professionalism, empathy, and efficiency, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone seeking high-quality, patient-centred care

Ms Ranjit Sandhu

Ophthalmologist

My father has recently had both cataracts removed at Visio Health. He had been advised not to drive and was anxious about waiting for Surgery on the NHS. We contacted Visio and had an appointment the same week. Such lovely and welcoming staff who couldn’t have put him more at ease. He had both eyes done at the same time within 2 weeks. He was apprehensive due to having COPD and keeping still for the operation. However the staff took every step to reassure him and ensure he was comfortable. 4 weeks on and he is absolutely delighted with the results. We cannot thank Visio enough.

Dr. Ziad Farah

Rheumatologist

Dr Ziad Farah is professional yet personable. He studied my case in detail and was able to provide reassurance on how my treatment was going. He is incredibly responsive and fast acting - I have never experienced this before but I am so grateful for this as he was able to act quickly on my case which has been prolonged for months. He provided me with the right referrals, quickly. Most of all, he was one of the first specialists to take his time and listen to me in detail and was very understanding and empathetic. Thank you Dr Farah, your help has been greatly appreciated!

Dr Tang was simply wonderful. He was very kind, gentle and understanding of my worries and health problem. He explained the procedures well and reassured me. After the endoscopies he reported back and explained clearly what he had found. All the staff at Hadley Wood were also extremely friendly, competent and reassuring, particularly Nurse Grace. Dr Tangs secretary was extremely efficient and friendly. She was quick to respond to my messages and ensured my consultations and treatment happened smoothly and speedily.

Mr Ahmed Ali

Urologist

Ahmed Ali is a superb consultant, in my opinion. He appears to be extremely knowledgable and is very thorough. From the first time I saw him, he immediately sorted out the difficulties that I was having and explained clearly what was going on and how his treatment would be beneficial for me. I have since seen him again and was, once again, tremendously impressed with his courteous and caring manner. I have no hesitation in recommending him thoroughly. Jeff W

Mr Raj Das Bhaumik

Ophthalmologist

Raj performed a very successful four eyelid Blepharoplasty on me. From my initial consultation, the pre-op, the actual op, and the follow-up consultation Raj which very professional, reassuring me and took time to ensure I was fully informed and comfortable with the procedure. I especially welcomed the phone-call at home a day and a half after the ops to check in on me. I am very happy that I no longer have bags under my eyes and no hooded eyelids,

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

Disappointed I had to wait 20 minutes for an appointment first thing in the morning, however everything else was positive. Waiting area and treatment room were both tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Some additional work required and dentist took me through options for treatment and resulting cost. Dental work was very good and pain free(!). Payment all completed to my satisfaction. Overall, a positive experience

My GP sent referral for RTN in January 2025. According to their announcement on the ADHD website, the waiting time was 8-9 weeks. Unfortunately, I was waiting couple of months. My assessment was done in October and on my outcome appointment, which was a year after, the 3rd doctor was involved a d decided to do one more assessment. Without prior arrangement or agreement. Poor customer service, dishonest administration.

Professor Tony Kochhar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I found Prof Kochhar very easy to relate to and he was able to identify the reasons for the issues i was encountering quickly. He diagnosed a steroid injection once it became clear that the intervention was necessary which relieved my pain almost immediately. He then referred my to a physio who was able to treat me. Overall it was a pleasure to be treated by the Professor.

Spire Leeds Hospital

Tues the 20th Jan was my first appointment 6 weeks after my robotic assisted total knee replacement. MR Veysi showed kindness and respect, to me and my Husband, during my appointment. Reassuring me about my expected recovery. And if needed I could see him again if I had any further concerns. But he was very happy with my progress, which would continue to improve.
