Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

Dr Chris Sawh

Cardiologist

I am mainly reviewing my experience of an angiogram + PCI on October 5th 2025, at Norwich & Norfolk hospital (also consultations elsewhere). The whole team provides a supportive and positive environment before and after the operation. Dr Sawh came and outlined the plan for the procedure. He always shows a calm confidence, a sense of being ready and focused, and the drive to do his best work and achieve the best result for you. There is a special team atmosphere in the operating theatre, supportive, engaged, learning, caring for you, and themselves also enjoying each other's company and work too. Dr Sawh clearly has a great relationship with them. The nurses pre and post-procedure are a lovely group too, creating a safe, caring and smiley environment which helps lower stress. In consultations at Ella May Barnes or elsewhere, Dr Sawh is always happy to answer detailed questions, even if when he asks me 'any more questions?', despite preparation, I often say no and then remember the thing I forgot to ask the moment I leave the room. If it's not too personal, I think Dr Sawh's photograph on the Spire website and elsewhere, captures his seriousness and professionalism about the work and his extremely high standards (you are in the best and safest hands), but I've always thought it doesn't quite capture his caring nature, his deep enjoyment at having a positive impact on others or the smile when he greets you and says farewell. I'm extremely grateful for his excellent care and brilliant work.

Receptionist was absolutely lovely and really friendly and helpful. The building and facilities were all excellent and kept clean and tidy. The consultant I saw was extremely rude, arrogant and judgemental. There were several comments he made that shocked me and that made me feel very uncomfortable to the point I almost walked out mid appointment. There was very little sympathy or mindfulness of my injury and he came across extremely judgemental in the assumptions he made about the level of sport I played, what I could afford, and several other things. I actually play semi-professionally and have represented our country in World Championships in the sport I play, and I also have a law degree and accountancy qualification which I did not mention as quite frankly it is irrelevant. It was apparent he took a dislike to me for whatever reason from the start and the whole experience was very uncomfortable. His behaviour aside, he is clearly very knowledgeable and good at what he does. Reading between the lines I got the answer I needed. This hospital was recommended to me by one of your previous patients and I was lucky to get booked in through an NHS referral but after my experience I would never return for any issue and am relieved I didn't pay to go private.

Colicci Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

Giacinto is by far one of London's most skilled aesthetic nurse practitioners. Having worked for a group of plastic surgeons in the past, I received my 1st ever botox & fillers treatment on my 50th b'day from a leading Consultant, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon, Ms Effie Katsarma. After I left the hospital/ industry, I was eager to find an aesthetic nurse practitioner who could maintain her high standard of work. My research eventually led me to Giacinto. I'm particularly fussy & wanted a medically qualified & skillful aesthetic nurse with a keen, creative eye. I knew instantly Giacinto was exceptional. He has been maintaining my ongoing botox requirements for approx the past 7/8 yrs. I've also recently had profilio & fillers for the 1st time at his Harley St practice. He never tries to upsell, is highly knowledgeable & always achieves a fantastic aesthetic result (no bruising!). He is an absolute pleasure to deal with, I trust him implicitly & wouldn't dream of going to anyone else... I highly recommend him.

The assessment visit was fine in that I walked away with a clear diagnosis and a plan, but the experience was a little hectic due to cleaners coming in to prepare for the next appointment while we were still there, and the dr needing to take urgent calls as she was on duty at the time. The team I speak with are all very friendly but there seems to be a disconnect between the information exchanged on emails and whatsapp. I feel this may have led to a delay in starting treatment. Again, it's fine because I got it in the end, but there may be some part of the process/line of communication that needs review/improving. My initial virtual visit was at risk of being cancelled due to where I was having the call from. Thankfully, the doctor was able to accommodate another slot on the same day. I noticed that there is now a clear statement on the booking confirmation re: need to be in a private space for virtual calls, which is good.

Dr John Lindsay

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr Lindsay looked at mammy’s medical computer record and asked how he could be of help. He was obviously very knowledgeable about osteoporosis, its impact and difficulties with pain management. He listened to our concerns about the constant pain mammy experiences and discussed pain management strategies. Also suggested vitamin supplements. Given that mammy is in the last stage of osteoporosis we understand that she is very frail and at continued risk of fractures. Dr Lindsay provided information from the Royal Osteoporosis Society advising on managing persistent pain after fractures, pain relieving drugs etc. Dr Lindsay gave my brother and I time to go over mammy’s recent medical history and presenting issues. He had a lovely manner with mammy and involved her in the discussion.

Mr Achal Khanna

General Surgeon

Doctor Khanna who I met 5 months prior is very direct, professional and confident which I liked because it showed me his passion and commitment to his craft. The day of the surgery when he came to speak to me and tell me what was going to happen he again was direct and confident. He spoke very clearly and I felt very informed of what was going to happen which gave me an assertive and positive assurance in his ability to perform the surgery which went amazingly well. I had no worry or anxiety about the surgery leading up to it and am extremely grateful to Doctor Khanna and his team for performing the surgery and fixing my hernia. His work is extremely neat and tidy, which also gives me confidence in my ability to heal. Thank you again for all your help.

Mr Michael Wilson

General Surgeon

I recently had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with Dr. Wilson and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. Before the procedure, he took the time to clearly explain everything — how the surgery works, the risks involved, and what to expect during recovery. Even though I was very nervous, he reassured me every step of the way and made me feel safe and confident going into the operation. My surgery went perfectly, and Dr. Wilson checked up on me straight away afterwards, then again in the weeks following to make sure my recovery was going well. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out. I had a great experience with Dr. Wilson and would highly recommend him to anyone needing similar treatment.

Mr Samit Unadkat

ENT Surgeon

I had an excellent experience during my recent ENT appointment with Dr. Samit Unadkat. From start to finish, the visit was smooth, professional, and reassuring, Dr. Unadkat was exceptional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything in a clear and understandable way, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the appointment. His thorough approach and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. I left with a clear understanding of my diagnosis and treatment plan, and I truly felt that I was in expert hands. I highly recommend Dr. Samit Unadkat to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate ENT specialist.

I had micro-TESE surgery with Mr Alnajjar and the entire experience was exceptional. He successfully retrieved sperm for us, which has now given us the chance to move forward with IVF next year. What stood out most was how personal and reassuring his approach was. We had met him a few times before the procedure and he always made both me and my wife feel calm, confident, and fully informed. The follow-up care has been outstanding — nothing felt rushed, and every question was answered clearly. His PA and the communication throughout have also been first-class. A genuinely brilliant surgeon and a top professional. Highly recommended.

Mr Hugh Jewsbury

Ophthalmologist

We recently visited Nuffield Vale of Glamorgan for my son’s squint surgery under the care of Dr Jewsbury. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear, reassuring, and consistent, and every member of the team went out of their way to make sure my son felt safe and supported. Dr Jewsbury’s care, both on the day and in the weeks that followed, was exceptional. The results have surpassed our expectations and have been genuinely life-changing for my son. We are so grateful for the professionalism, kindness, and attention we received throughout. Highly recommended.

Dr. Sarah Dobson

Dentist

Sarah from my first visit made sure that any questions were answered and she put my mind at ease with any concerns I may of had, during my dental work when administering anaesthetic normally at other practices the pain was so bad but I didn’t feel a thing and the whole appointment was actually quite pleasant felt like I could openly talk she has such a warm and welcoming spirit to her which again before coming to this practice I’ve never really got so it really was amazing I could go on and on.

Mr Fadi Housami

Urologist

This was my final visit with Dr Housami after several diagnostic procedures and I consider the overall support I have recieved to have been outstanding. Whilst Dr Housami was not able to personally perform the reccomended treatment, he was very helpful un reccomending consultants and the process I needed to follow to proceed, and left me feeling he really cared about finding me the right outcomes. Dr Housami has been absolutely wonderful

Scheduling surgery for my son was a nerve-wracking experience, but from the moment we entered through the front door and met the caring receptionist and nurses, especially Cordelia, I felt reassured. Dr. Hamid Daya, the consultant, was gentle and attentive. The hospital was spotless and well-maintained, which gave me peace of mind. Overall, I am grateful for how smoothly everything went and for the compassionate care we received.
