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.

I had an initial appointment with Dr Lauren Colquhoun and Emily Holt at Willow Health, and honestly, it was such a positive experience. The appointment was meant to be an hour, but there was absolutely no rush and they actually spent around 1 hour 15 minutes with me just to make sure everything was covered properly. They really look at everything, my age, lifestyle including diet, exercise and sleep pattern, my long-term health conditions, and all the symptoms I’ve been struggling with. They didn’t rush me at all. They gave me some initial ideas to get started and said we’d talk through options once I’d had time to think things over and review the follow up materials, which I really appreciated. I left feeling genuinely supported and reassured. It was the first time in a long while that I felt confident I was getting the right advice, something you just don’t get in a 10-minute GP appointment. Would 100% recommend Willow Health to anyone needing proper advice, guidance and support.

Mr Anwar Jafri

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently had a full right hip replacement. It is the first time I have undergone surgery so was obviously slightly apprehensive. From the initial meeting with Mr Jafri everything was explained comprehensively and my concerns were listened to and answered in a manner that left me feeling more confident. The pre surgery admissions team were all friendly and efficient and went out of their way to make me comfortable and took my fear of needles into account. The surgery team were very friendly ,supportive and professional. The operation went smoothly and the aftercare was excellent, from pain management to food and chat. The pain after surgery was a lot less than I had been experiencing with my arthritic hip so I was delighted. The same level of care was extended through recovery and physio and 8 weeks later I'm mobile and moving comfortably. Cannot fault the whole experience from start to finish.

Good evening, Today I received the official confirmation that I have passed my viva, and as I promised, I wanted to share this happiness with you. I am writing with overwhelming joy, remembering your support and the help that I will never forget. Thank you, Doctor, from the bottom of my heart—you truly saved my life. Before contacting you, I felt I had nothing, yet in less than a year I was able to complete my thesis. It is something I could hardly believe. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown in helping someone like me. I am currently arranging my trip to Saudi Arabia next week on Wednesday, and I will return for graduation next summer. I would like to ask whether you recommend that I continue the medication. If so, my current prescription lasts month, I may need to request more, as I found that only the first medication I used is available in Saudi Arabia.

I received warm, well informed professional attention throughout my care at St Anthony's Hospital; from outpatients through to discharge. The room was clean, well heated and ventilated, equipment checked and the armchairs comfortable. The unit was quiet. Nursing staff answered call bells promptly and with kindness and a smile. No request was considered a problem. Their level of knowledge and professionalism was excellent along with the standard of care. Physiotherapy care was also excellent and given with respect to my individual needs. Recovery staff were informative and reassuring. Excellent care there too. I include catering staff who also took care in their work. A few glitches with the electronics on the bed and the new bathroom which received prompt attention - the unit has been recently renovated.

I had a total knee replacement and from start to present, I have been treated amazingly. All staff are amazing and simply brilliant at their job and in particular care of patients. Special mention to Salmon (Sal) who looked after me on the day post operation. he was superb, so helpful and patient. The team that looked after me immediately post op, were terrific, so kind and understanding. Mr Gillespie's pre-operating team were so reassuring especially when I was so nervous regarding the spinal block. Thank you to everyone for such superb care and attention. Although I was in tremendous pain post op, I can now reflect and appreciate who well I was looked after and especially the individual care and attention displayed by the team - very simply 'thank you'

I was intrigued by the services offered, as they seemed too good to be true. I'm a mid-life woman, starting to worry more about my overall health and wellbeing but didn't want to burden the NHS with curiosity! I really just wanted to have an MOT, to spot any underlying issues or potential health concerns. I was really impressed with the whole set up - state of the art machines, beautiful and clean building - with the most relatable, down-to-earth and professional team of experts. I felt in safe hands, and I had all the advice, tests and support I needed to give me a 12 month clean bill of health but with some advice on how to improve and maintain my health and wellbeing. Highly recommended!

Professor Dariush Nikkhah

Plastic Surgeon

Words can’t fully express the gratitude I feel for Dr. Dariush Nikkhah. From the very beginning, he was not only exceptionally professional but also deeply caring and empathetic. My breast reconstruction was truly ideal — the results exceeded anything I could have hoped for, and my recovery was surprisingly quick and smooth. What touched me most was how he cared for me from the moment of the operation and continued to support me throughout the entire healing process. I never felt alone. His compassion, attention, and dedication brought back a sense of harmony and happiness in my life that I thought I had lost. I will be eternally grateful for everything he has done for me.

Dr. Sheeraz Janjua

Optometrist

Dr Janjua is always incredibly thorough in the eye exam, explaining each step and answering all my questions with patience. He takes the time to discuss my prescription in detail and also the variety of lens options available such as anti-fatigue, blue light reduction and anti-glare. I work in the computing industry and having the right eyewear makes the difference between a good day and one where you’re severely tired at the end of it. Dr Janjua’s expertise and attention to detail makes sure you’re confident it will be a good day.

Spire Harpenden Hospital

I was an NHS patient struggling with gallstones and experiencing frequent attacks. After doing some research, I was able to book an appointment at Spire Hospital Harpenden, where I first met Mr. Jambulingam in August this year. Just two months after that initial consultation, I had my gallbladder removed. I want to express my deepest thanks to Mr. Jambulingam and the entire team at Spire Hospital Harpenden. From beginning to end, the care and experience were exceptional, and I am truly grateful for everything they have done for me.

Dr Marwan Al-Dawoud

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

Marwan was superb. Even though he was fully booked, he went out of his way to find a slot for me. During the consultation he listened carefully to how I sustained my injury and, using his ultrasound scanner, explained the structural issues involved and likely healing time. He also provided my physio with the detailed information needed to create an effective rehab plan. Marwan is clearly an expert in his field, and I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process, which was incredibly reassuring.

Mr Omar Mulla

ENT Surgeon

Dr Mulla listened... fortunately he is up to date on my particular, rather ambiguous, condition. I get the impression that he keeps up to date with latest developments and findings in his field of ENT. If only I had been able to see him 18 months ago, I would have been sorted in just one consultation. He is very personable, professional, friendly and efficent (by that I mean he dictated his letter to my GP in front of me before I left my appointment). This was a moment when you feel the NHS is at its best.

Mr Asef Al-Ani

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Al-Ani was welcoming and empathetic. I have been unfortunate with health of spine but extremely fortunate having him as my spinal consultant. This was my third meeting with Asef over a period of 3 years and each time he makes you feel valued as a Perón and is completely efficient organising investigations and taking the results forward to treatment if necessary. He is marvellous 🤩

Mr Imad Zakieh

Ophthalmologist

I could not have wished for a better experience from walking in to walking out. As a nervous patient, I was looked after and put at ease. I woukd recommend this hospital, MrZakieh in particular. He must see many patients in a day but still makes the time making you feel comfortable with the procedure. Thank you!

Perfect Balance Clinic - Richmond

Osteopathy, Physiotherapy

I visited this clinic for ongoing shoulder pain and had a great experience. From the first session, the team was friendly, professional, and took the time to understand what was going on. Everything was explained clearly, and I was given treatment along with some easy exercises to do at home.

Mr Kalyana Javangula

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Excellent explanations pre op. Regular visits in hospital and follow up after discharge. Amazingly pain free cabg. Any minor complications were promptly and competently dealt with. Cannot praise Mr Javangula enough and the recent visit on 19 Nov was the final discharge meeting.
