Miss Adriana Kovacova

Cosmetic Doctor, Ophthalmologist

I recently attended the Sanderson Suite for surgery, where the reception staff gave me a warm welcome and quickly put me at ease. Everyone was friendly and explained clearly what would happen. Once on the ward, I was shown to my bay and checked in. Miss Kovacova later discussed the procedure with me, explaining the surgery clearly and allowing plenty of time for questions or concerns. Her reassurance helped put my mind at ease. I was later escorted to theatre by a nurse and handed over to the theatre staff, who were extremely kind and professional. They clearly explained what would happen, and the Miss Kovacova guided me through each stage of the surgery, continually checking that I was comfortable and reassured. I feel the surgery was a success and would highly recommend the consultant for their skill, professionalism and dedication to my care. I had a very positive experience with Miss Kovacova during my surgery. She was professional, reassuring, and caring throughout, which helped me feel more at ease at a difficult time. Her kind manner, clear communication, and genuine concern for my wellbeing made a real difference, and I felt confident that I was in safe hands under her care. I feel I received five-star care, which continued throughout my aftercare and post-operative appointments. The surgery made a real difference by improving the appearance of my eyelids, and helping my eyes look more open, refreshed, and less tired. It also had a positive practical impact, as my eyes now feel and look much better. I truly cannot thank Miss Kovacova enough for the care she gave me. I am deeply grateful for what she has done and for the kindness, skill, and compassion she showed throughout my experience. Her caring nature made a real difference to me, and I would be more than happy to share my thoughts with anyone considering her care.

Orthopaedic Innovation

Orthopaedic Surgery

I was in severe pain in both hips due to osteoarthritis and my pain management consultant recommended seeing the Rapid Recovery team of Proffessor Wilson and Dr Kley. They recommended I have a double hip replacement and stated that I would be off crutches within 2 weeks, driving within 3 weeks and after 6 weeks would be able to resume activities such as pilates etc. I was somewhat sceptical about these timescales but decided to go ahead with the operation due to the pain and immobility I was experiencing. The operation was around 47 minutes and 2 hours after the operation I actually walked. From the moment I recovered from the anaesthestic I realised I had no hip pain at all and walked out of the hospital the following day on crutches. Two weeks later I was off crutches and while there was discomfort for some 6 -8 weeks this was due to both the post operation recovery and also the fact I was able to walk for the first time in 7 years standing up straight and therefore the discomfort came from using muscles (quads) which I hadn't been using for such a long time. I am now over a year post operation and my hips feel exactly as they did when I was in my 20s (I am 70) and I can only thank and absolutely fully recommend the procedure under the brilliance of Klee and Wilson, who not only were proved right in their predictions re timescale of painfree recovery, they have enabled me to resume activities such as mountain walking/climbing & pilates.

Ms Sally Watkinson

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was extremely nervous about having my Mirena coil fitted, but I honestly had no need to be. From the moment I arrived, the doctor was so kind, gentle and reassuring. She explained everything clearly and completed the procedure incredibly quickly and smoothly. What impressed me most was how gentle she was throughout. I had built it up in my mind for weeks, but she made the whole experience far easier than I expected. It was obvious that she is exceptionally skilled and experienced at what she does. I've suffered with painful periods for most of my life, and after years of not having answers, she was the first doctor to finally diagnose the underlying problem. That alone has made such a difference to me and made me feel heard and understood. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism, compassion and expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you're feeling anxious about having a coil fitted. In fact I have recommended Sally to quite a few of my friends and they have gone on to see her and were so happy with her service.

From my initial consultation through to my surgery and recovery, my experience was extremely positive. I was naturally a little nervous beforehand, but the team were friendly, professional and reassuring from the moment I arrived. Everything was explained clearly, and I was given plenty of opportunities to ask questions, which helped put me completely at ease.The procedure itself was much less daunting than I had imagined, and the staff regularly checked on me to make sure I was comfortable. After the surgery, I received excellent aftercare and clear advice about my recovery. I also received a friendly follow-up phone call a few days later to check how I was feeling and whether I had any concerns, which I really appreciated.For anyone considering this surgery, I would say not to be afraid to ask questions and trust the team. Everyone I dealt with was supportive, caring and professional, and I felt well looked after throughout the entire experience. Thank you to everyone involved in my care.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I required a cataract operation which includes the replacement of a lens in one eye. I was very nervous about the procedure as this eye was my only functioning eye. Despite the high success rate of this type of operation, I knew some friends who had not obtained the outcome they had hoped, for various reasons. I had therefore decided to have my operation at Moorfields with one of the best eye surgeons I could find: Professor James Bainbridge. I had tests before I saw Mr Bainbridge for the first time and we agreed to go ahead with the operation. I was booked in for the operation within a couple of weeks. On the day of the operation the staff, nurses, anaesthetist and theatre staff were all reassuring, professional and skilled. The outcome for me has been life-changing: I can read comfortably; I can now drive confidently and I can see the cricket ball when I go with friends to the Oval. I am delighted and very grateful to everyone who has made this possible.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 18 more

My experience at Spire Bristol was excellent from start to finish. I was admitted for a microdiscectomy and, because of the potential complications associated with my particular case, I was kept in hospital for two nights, including my first night in HDU. Throughout my stay I felt very well cared for and reassured, with the nursing and medical staff always attentive, professional and happy to explain anything I was unsure about. The care I received in HDU and subsequently on the ward was exceptional, and I always felt that I was being closely monitored and looked after. Everyone I encountered, from the admission team through to the nurses and support staff, was friendly, respectful and genuinely caring. I would like to thank the whole team at Spire Bristol for making what could have been a very worrying experience feel as comfortable and reassuring as possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending the hospital to anyone requiring similar treatment.

Prof. Ali Al-Hussaini

ENT Surgeon

After having dual Pinnaplasty, I would highly recommend Professor Ali Al-Hussaini. I didn't feel pushed into making any decisions quickly. I only had a small time frame in which I could have the operation and he and his team made it happen! I was very nervous going into the hospital on the day of the operation however his calm approach quickly put that to rest, the ladies looking after me post op couldn't do more! They were also very funny and made me laugh even with the bandaged head! I am so happy with the results! My ears look great! Very natural, Prof. Ali Al-Hussaini completely understood what I wanted and I'm so pleased! The healing process went all to plan, no problems whatsoever! My confidence has sky rocketed! Thank you!

Mr Farhan Rashid

General Surgeon

I would thoroughly recommend Mr Rashid. I saw him at the first consultation, day of surgery and a fortnight after Each time he was helpful and informative, his description of what was needed and what would be done was clearly explained and was happy to answer any questions, after which I was very confident and happy to go ahead with the procedure. I had a tight timescale and he was able to fit me in, and complete my surgery in time for a pre arranged flight. I would also say his secretary, Lilian, was extremely efficient and helpful, sometimes answering my emails out of hours!

Mr Joseph Walls

Plastic Surgeon

I was extremely impressed with the care I received. Mr Walls was very professional and caring. He took the time to listen and understand my concerns. My teatment options were clearly explained, including what each option would entail, risks and benefits, which helped me feel fully informed and involved in the decision-making process. They were clearly very knowledgeable and communicated everything in a calm, clear and reassuring way. I felt listened to, respected and genuinely cared for throughout my appointment. I would highly recommend them.

Mr Chanpreet Arhi

General Surgeon

I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. My gallbladder surgery went extremely smoothly, with no complications, and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. My surgeon - Mr Arshi was professional, reassuring and clearly very skilled, and the hospital and staff were fantastic throughout. The surgery has genuinely been life-changing for me and I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received. I would highly recommend both my surgeon and the hospital.

My experience with Mr Edwin Omih has been exceptional from start to finish. Throughout my treatment and operation, he was extremely caring, compassionate and reassuring. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly and always made me feel that I was in safe hands. What I found particularly reassuring was his calm and caring manner. He showed genuine concern for my wellbeing, not just during the operation but throughout my recovery as well.

Professor James East

Gastroenterologist

"I had a colonoscopy with Professor East and the whole experience was far better than I'd expected. He explained the procedure clearly beforehand, answered all my questions without rushing, and put me completely at ease. The procedure itself was quick and comfortable, and he talked me through the findings straight afterwards in plain language. His team were friendly and professional throughout. I'd have no hesitation recommending him."

Dr Deepak Ravindran

Pain Management Specialist

I had a really good experience at spire with Dr Deepak. He always makes me feel very comfortable I know exactly why I'm there what's going to happen and he also lets me know and gives me updates on time. I know sometimes things are delayed because of peoples procedures ahead of me so it is really nice that someone comes and just gives us a bit of an update of when I'm going to be seen and All in all it was a comfortable Experience.

I saw Matt for a lumbar injury and bilateral knee pain and had a very positive experience. He was thorough, listened carefully and gave me clear, practical advice on what I could still do, what to modify and how to progress safely. He was knowledgeable, reassuring and very easy to communicate with. I’d definitely recommend him, especially for anyone wanting a sports-focused approach to rehabilitation and returning to training.

Leaders in Liver Health

I had an excellent experience with the doctor. He was extremely polite, professional and conducted the examination very well. I felt comfortable and well looked after throughout the appointment. The clinic was also excellent, very well organised and welcoming. I was extremely pleased with the overall experience and would highly recommend both the doctor and the clinic.

Endocare Diagnostics

Gastroenterology

Been twice now and hopefully just once more. All I can say is I wish GP surgeries were as good and listened to what you say. This is why I went down Endocare in the first place as not happy at my GPs . The Doctor here was great going beyond my procedure and making sure I got home without going on the motorway.Even the next time I visited he asked if I got home ok. 10/10
