Mr Samuel Rajaratnam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

had a right knee replacement with Mr. Sam Rajaratnam just over two weeks ago on 3rd November 2025, and what I had feared would be a difficult and painful operation turned out to be completely painless. Sam is extremely kind, patient and reassuring — perfect for someone as nervous as I was. I had delayed doing this surgery for a year and a half and even cancelled the operation twice before finally going through with it! Mr. Rajaratnam has built an outstanding team, including an exceptionally experienced anaesthetist, Dr. Barry Philips; a kind and highly competent nurse consultant, Ms. Christine Howis; and an excellent senior physiotherapist, Felicitas Gatti, who visits me at home to guide my post-operative exercises. I was also extremely impressed by all the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic hospital, who provided exceptional care throughout my stay. Whilst at the Cleveland, Sam visited me daily, and even came in today after my staples were removed to check on my progress. Mr. Rajaratnam’s expertise is evident—he has performed over 7,000 knee replacements—and the level of care and support I received was extraordinary. I was expecting a significant increase in pain once the stronger medication stopped a week after surgery, but to my surprise, I remained completely pain-free. I am extremely grateful to Sam and his wonderful team. I’ll be back for my other knee as soon as I’m up and running again!

CP+R

Cardiology, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I signed up for CP&R almost 6 months ago and have never looked back. The service has been excellent, communication fast and efficient and both extremely professional and friendly at the same time. The CP&R staff are extremely well trained and experienced and very easy to get on with. Their support throughout my rehabilitation has been brilliant and I certainly wouldn't be in the position I am in now if it wasn't for the whole team. I have been able to call upon advice form the physio team and cardiac nurse and every time they have been very supportive and helpful. My coach, Chloe, has been with me every step of the way and has seen me through the good and bad times, her support and enthusiasm has been fantastic and I can't thank her enough for all her hard work during my rehabilitation. I cannot recommend CP&R enough and would urge everyone to look into their services, they have certainly aided my recovery beyond what I thought was possible.

Mr Mustafa Yusuf

Ophthalmologist

I’m incredibly grateful for the care Mr. Yusuf provided both for my child and for myself. He was patient, reassuring, and extremely thorough when treating my child’s conjunctivitis. He explained everything clearly, made my child feel comfortable, and ensured we knew exactly how to manage the symptoms at home. The improvement was quick thanks to his guidance. I also saw Mr. Yusuf for my post-LASIK follow-up care, and once again he was outstanding. He took the time to check every detail, answer all my questions, and give clear advice on how to maintain the best healing and long-term results. His professionalism and kindness really stand out. I highly recommend Mr. Yusuf to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy ophthalmologist. We couldn’t have asked for better care.

I was told to report to the Heart Centre, which I did, then tried to catch the attention of the only staff member I could see who was someone eating her breakfast from a bowl. The encounter was not welcoming or friendly. I was told to go downstairs to a different door, with no sign on. When I did finally find the right place the nurse was very friendly and kind, and everything went very well after that. The nurse and the consultant were very good in all they did. My letter of admission insisted that I was 'nil by mouth' so I arrived at the hospital thirsty and hungry. When there I was informed that in fact I could eat and drink whatever I wanted- that there was no restriction. I wish I had been informed correctly in the first place.

Pause and Co Healthcare

General Practice (GP)

I reached out to Nadira at one of the hardest times of my life and literally had no support/help from her whatsoever. As she continually reminds everyone she is a full time mother and a full time NHS GP I don’t understand how she thinks she has the time to open a menopause clinic as she has shown me. Takes weeks to reply to any correspondence. Also she certainly has NHS GP mentality on any HRT. She has no up to date knowledge and is very nervous and unsure whilst in a consultation with her. She quoted lots of things that were wrong and outdated as new evidence has suggested. I would not waste your money and go to Menopause specialist who is only doing this full time.

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

Very Pleased with the clarity of my vision after wearing Glasses, I had the Galaxy lense fitted and I now have full contrast and colour definition. I had my procedure done at Freedom Chelmsford. The team there were absolutely brilliant,friendly, professional. The procedure was very quick and painless. I could see the improvement immediately . It took a few days for my eyes to adjust as my prescription was very strong and complicated, (lazy left eye.) The hospital is modern ,spotless with excellent facilities and easy access plenty of parking and train. Special Thankyou to Nicola who coordinated everything from start to finish.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

Initially, my surgery appointment was for the 4th Oct. This was cancelled by Spencer Hospital; a new appt. was given: 16th Nov - so quite a wait, in the end. When the canular was removed prior to discharge, blood immediately started to pump; it took several sterile wads + a lot of painful pressure by the nurse before she was able to tape a further wad firmly in place to hold the blood back - at which juncture, the blood then accumulated in a 'mound' under the skin. I suspect an arterial puncture. My hand is still badly bruised; so not pleased with that aspect of my treatment.

I visited Mr Natt this week after experiencing tightness in my throat. He took the time to ask thorough questions to understand the issue and carried out a nasal endoscopy to investigate further. Throughout the procedure, he explained everything clearly, checked that I was comfortable, and showed genuine concern for my wellbeing. When the issue became visible on the screen, he carefully explained what was happening in a way that put my mind at ease. Mr Natt was kind, professional, and attentive from start to finish. I felt very well cared for and would highly recommend him.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Staff all good, but I had been given inaccurate info before the appt and didn’t wear contact lenses for 2 weeks beforehand altho this was unnecessary as all measurements had already been taken. I then had to wait over an hour to be seen, longer than for the NHS appt. When I mentioned the long wait I was told this was because everyone had wanted a long discussion as they were private appts! Surely this is to be expected and the solution is not to overbook appts. I can’t comment yet on the procedure as haven’t had it yet.

Allergy Medicine, Breast Surgery, + 31 more

The consultant we met with was excellent. I have a considerable amount of experience working with Medical professionals and I must be honest that I have never come across a doctor who was patience, informative and extremely thorough as he was. He worked diligently asking questions with depth and his expert opinion was provided in a manner without jargon all the technicalities, which could cause confusion for patients.

Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid

Urologist

Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid is of a kind and gentle disposition. His explanations are clear, concise and understandable. He answered my layman's questions freely and without talking down to me. He was attentive to me before and after the operation. My recovery is making good progress which in large part is down to the skill and care taken during the operation. by Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid.

Dr Stavroula Pelitari

Gastroenterologist

Dr Stavroula Pelitari was very professional and very knowledgeable and helpful in my situation. She did all my tests and referred me to Kings Hospital for my operation and they are doing the procedure on February 2026 and I will thank her very much for trying to help me and sorting it out myself. I will really appreciate your assistance and patience with me. Thank you 🙏🏽

Dr. Elsie Mensah

Urologist

Dr Mensah explained the procedure she carried out and the results of the biopsies. She asked if I was passing urine ok I explained that I was going to the toilet without any problems at all. She was pleased to hear that and explained I would be discharged back to my gp. She stated if I had any problems in the future I could go back and see her and she would help me.

Ms Lubna Haque

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am enormously grateful to Dr Haque and the team . I needed to have some appointments for investigations ultimately under general anaesthetic and I was treated promptly, courteously and simply could not fault anything . I felt I could trust Dr Haque the first time I met her and was impressed by her professionalism . Thank you so much , Ruth

Professor London is simple the best. I have 2 procedures done by professor London and i wouldn't want to go to anyone else.
