Ahead4babies

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Paediatrics

Thank goodness we found you! My son was born with torticollis and, as a result, always slept on one side. We had no idea this would lead to the flattening of his head, especially since no advice was provided post-birth. He was subsequently diagnosed with Plagiocephaly and a 15mm asymmetry (which is classed as moderate). We felt incredibly let down by the initial lack of guidance. While repositioning could have helped in those early weeks, by the time we realised there was an issue, too much time had passed to correct it without intervention. Navigating the next steps was difficult, as we were faced with a plethora of misinformation. We had several NHS and private consultations, but no one could categorically tell us that a helmet would fix it. The "party line" from the NHS is that they don’t work, but I can now categorically say that is simply not true! We initially met with a different helmet company but got cold feet when they couldn't guarantee the results, they estimated a "best-case" improvement of only 9mm. Following a discussion with Bassel Zebian, a Paediatric Neurosurgeon at King's College Hospital, he recommended we see Dr. Stenhouse at Ahead4babies. After discovering that two of our friends had also used them, we felt reassured enough to reach out. From the very first phone call, we were sold. They were clear about what to expect, answered all our questions, and confirmed they could get the asymmetry down to 0mm. Knowing the clinic is run by craniofacial surgeons gave us total peace of mind that we were in good hands. Dr. Stenhouse, who carried out our son’s treatment, is a Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon at King’s College Hospital. He is incredibly honest about expected outcomes and will not recommend a helmet if it isn't truly necessary. After the first meeting, you are given the space to digest the information and decide whether or not to proceed. This was a breath of fresh air compared to other companies that seem to focus more on profit than actual need. While other helmets might look "flashier," they often work by removing layers as the head grows. In my opinion, this is far less effective than Dr. Stenhouse’s approach, as he bespokely trims the inside of the helmet to accurately adapt to the head as it grows. Our son wore his helmet for 17 weeks in total. We eventually agreed it was time to stop at 1mm asymmetry rather than risk overcorrection. Throughout the process, the 24/7 WhatsApp support team was fantastic, making the entire journey incredibly smooth. To any parents in doubt, if your child has moderate or severe asymmetry and you are past the first 12 weeks where repositioning is most effective, get the helmet! It is extremely unlikely to improve significantly on its own. It is also VERY important that you take action early while their head is still soft to see faster results, ideally as soon as they can support their head (around 4–5 months). I hope this helps other parents navigating this process. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on social media. I’ll leave you with a picture of the result, one happy baby with a perfectly shaped head!

VISIO Health

Ophthalmology

WOW amazing! I have worn glasses since I was 16 (53 years), initially to see the blackboard! Recently my eyesight deteriorated due to cataracts and I was referred to Visio. I was very nervous about having the operation but in retrospect should not have worried, it really was not stressful. I had Trifocal Lenses fitted by Ms Ranjit Sandhu and would describe the result as amazing and transformational. I was hoping for my eyesight to return to my pre cataract vision, it did far more than this as I now have excellent unaided vision for distance as well as for near. I now have better vision than I have ever had before, and don’t need glasses anymore! I was advised before the operation that a side effect may be an increase in Halo & Glare when driving at night, however, I have not experienced this and am very comfortable with my night driving vision. In summary my vision has been transformed thanks to Visio and I would highly recommend them.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I went privately for a hip replacement. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I was met in reception by a lovely man who took my bag for me an led me to my room. I was admitted by staff who each came to introduce themselves and explain what they would be doing. The room was lovely with a view onto the woodland just outside where a herd of small deer ran past one morning. The food was excellent and the staff were plentiful and friendly. If I had not been there for surgery, I would still have been happy to stay in that room! The surgery was fine and the aftercare was very efficiently handled by all concerned. When I did need to press my buzzer for attention, someone responded promptly and fetched the relevant staff members to help me. I felt safe and well cared for. It was the first time I have had surgery and I was apprehensive but the staff were all calm and reassuring.

Mr Andrew Pieri

Breast Surgeon

Dr Pieri is a fantastic surgeon. I had breast reduction surgery 2 year ago; my results are life changing, he done such an amazing job. I have recently had further surgery under local anaesthetic to remove a new breast lump in January 2026 at The Beverley Hospital by Dr Pieri, who again has done an amazing job. Dr Pieri and his team at The Beverley Hospital are outstanding, they are all so friendly, professional and made me feel so at ease for my surgery. I was looked after by Helen, Tracy and Lydia who were absolute angels. They’re also great when needing to call for any worries or queries, happy to go above and beyond for any help and support. The new Beverley Hospital is beautiful inside also, I felt like I was in a spa not a hospital. I could not recommend Dr Pieri and his team enough to anyone wanting to undergo any plastic surgery!

Dr. Hal Brindley

Gastroenterologist

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional and comprehensive care I received throughout my diagnosis and recovery from Hepatitis A. From the initial appointment to my final follow up visit, where I received the welcome news that all my liver function tests had returned to normal, the communication was consistently clear, thorough, and empathetic. Every question I had was answered patiently, each test result was explained in detail, and I was given practical guidance at every stage, which made me feel fully supported and confident in my treatment. The entire process was seamlessly coordinated, and the professional yet compassionate approach truly made a difficult health journey manageable. I have made a full recovery and would highly recommend this practice without reservation.

Equilibria Health

Psychology, Psychotherapy

I had the pleasure of working with Andrea for quite a long time after having a car accident. She took time to get to know me and what items I really wanted to work on. Each week we found ways that worked for me to express my self and through this she was able to give me amazing direction and grounding techniques to really help my anxiety in the car. I have not only used what we have learned together on the car but have pulled it into my everyday life. I feel lighter and happier. This was life changing for me and I’m so glad we were out together. I would highly recommend Andrea if you are looking for an understanding, empathetic and patient professional who is committed to helping you.

Dr Peysh Patel

Cardiologist

Dr Patel listened very carefully to my symptoms and concerns and immediately understood the problem. He had taken time to familiarise himself with my medical history which was very helpful. He explained everything carefully, clearly and in enough detail so that I understood what was happening at all times. He advised and expedited my clinical tests and fed back to me very promptly. This was very useful in helping me to make further decisions about my current medical treatment. I found Dr Patel to be incredibly professional, kind and understanding. I am extremely pleased with and thankful for the care I was given by him.

Mr Naga Venkatesh Jayanthi

General Surgeon

From the first appointment to my last Mr Jayanthi showed care and compassion and I finally felt like someone was listening and wanted to help resolve the issues I was having. I was scheduled in to have surgery a few weeks later and he made me feel so at ease and talked through the procedure and calmed my nerves before going to theatre. After the operation he came to make sure everything was ok and explained what the findings were after the op and made sure I was happy with everything before being discharged. The care I received was first class and would highly recommend Mr Jayanthi.

Mr Hasan Kasem

General Surgeon

Was a little bit disappointed with the service of leaving the hospital I hardly slept during the night. A young boy told me at 7:30 to get washed and ready to go home about 10 I said 11 o’clock would be better but when I was getting ready to go home my medication wasn’t ready. My taxi arrived 1130 and he had to go away then I had to find someone else with great difficulty to pick me up and sign papers to discharge me.the young boy did apologise . I was waiting for quite a bit of time and all my medication to be ready.

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Sonography, Pain Management, + 37 more

We paid £240 to the consultant and gained no extra knowledge or benefit. She basically couldn’t help because she said I needed fertility and not recurrent miscarriage. She said there was a fertility consultant there I should have booked with. Then why not offer to not charge me and book me with right person? Isn’t that what healthcare should be about rather than about taking my money? There is no triage service in place to make sure I got the right appointment. I feel robbed at a time where I am vulnerable.

Mr Surendra Patnaik

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a frozen shoulder for about nine months when I met Dr. Patnaik. I was in a lot of pain and had restricted movement in my right arm. But Dr. Patnaik was very positive. Explained next steps clearly which was an injection. Four months on and I have full movement in my shoulder and can now go about my daily life. The injection coupled with physiotherapy have been a game changer. I highly recommend Dr. Patnaik to anyone suffering from shoulder pain. Suffering in silence is not a solution.

Dr. Dobrina Hull

Rheumatologist

I had a really good first consultation with Dr Dobrina Hull. I felt that she was well prepared and had reviewed my scan. She asked questions and listened carefully to my answers to build a picture of the various issues I’ve experienced and see whether they’re linked. She was really clear about the next steps and reasons for the tests and interventions. I was left hopeful that these would help relieve my symptoms and find out what is causing the inflammation.

Dr. Kevin O'Gallagher

Cardiologist

The experience l had was flawless. Dr. Gallagher was warm, welcoming and eager to help with everything in his professional powers. Coming from a medical background myself, Dr Gallagher demonstarted knowledge based responses to my questions and welcomed any further questions. I would endorse anyone considering a visit to Gallagher for cardiac issues. To add Dr Gallagher's secretary was also very helpful, kind and prompt to respond to my emails.

Ruislip Ear Care

Audiology, Ear Care

I recently had a hearing appointment, and it went really well. Dr. Akash was professional and attentive throughout the visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect, which made me feel comfortable and confident. His clear explanations and friendly approach made the experience smooth and reassuring. I truly appreciated the care and expertise he showed during the appointment.

I had vein ablation today under Mr Mohamed Elawal - having had this prior at Uckfield Hospital, what a difference attending Cooden Medical Group was! From start to finish the whole team we're so lovely and professional! The Administration team, the Nurses and all the Consultants are so knowledgeable and really make you feel at ease. Would highly recommend this establishment for any procedures they offer!
