The London Dermatology Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I cannot recommend Dr Sunil Chopra highly enough. From start to finish, the experience at the London Dermatology Centre was exceptional. Booking an appointment was straightforward and I was able to get one much sooner than I expected. The clinic itself is modern, spotless and very welcoming. After previously being misdiagnosed with vitiligo by the NHS and then being told it was simply due to my "old age" (I'm in my early thirties!!), I decided to do my own research and find a dermatologist with expertise in skin of colour. As a Black African woman, it was really important to me to see someone who understands the unique characteristics of our skin. That's what led me to Dr Chopra and I'm so glad it did. One thing that also gave me confidence was that Dr Chopra has excellent skin himself. That might sound superficial to some people, but for me it matters. If I'm trusting someone with my skin, I want to feel confident that they genuinely understand skincare and practice what they preach. During my appointment, Dr Chopra carried out a thorough examination using a Wood's lamp and also used an advanced skin imaging machine that analysed my skin in detail. He explained everything clearly and reassured me that I do not have vitiligo. Instead, he diagnosed me with Idiopathic Guttate Hypomelanosis (IGH), which was a huge relief to finally understand. What stood out the most was how much time he took to listen. He answered every single one of my questions and addressed all my concerns without making me feel rushed. As a woman, that's something I haven't always experienced in healthcare and it was incredibly refreshing to feel genuinely heard. He recommended the most appropriate creams and treatments for my condition, but what really impressed me was his honesty. Although the clinic stocks the creams, he actually advised me to buy them from Boots because it would be cheaper. That level of integrity is rare. I had also been considering glutathione drips and chemical peels. Many clinics would have happily sold me expensive treatments, but Dr Chopra advised against them because he didn't believe they were appropriate for my condition. That showed me he genuinely cares about his patients rather than making money from unnecessary procedures. He also went into great detail about my current skincare routine, explaining what was beneficial, what wasn't and how to better care for my skin moving forward. I left my appointment feeling informed, reassured and confident in the treatment plan. If you're looking for an experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely caring dermatologist especially if you have skin of colour, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Sunil Chopra. He is worth every penny and I'll definitely be returning for any future dermatology concerns. I'll also be recommending him to all my friends and family.

The Harborne Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I walked through the doors of The Harborne Hospital, I felt I was in exceptionally safe hands. I attended for a gastroscopy after several weeks of worrying gastrointestinal symptoms and, although I tried not to show it, I was extremely anxious. I have a longstanding throat phobia and had built the procedure up in my mind to be something I dreaded. Every single member of staff I encountered recognised how nervous I was and treated me with kindness, patience and genuine compassion. The reception staff were welcoming and reassuring, the healthcare assistants and nurses were warm, attentive and incredibly professional, and I never once felt like I was being rushed or that my anxiety was an inconvenience. They took the time to explain each step, answer my questions and continually checked that I was comfortable. One moment that particularly stood out was when the team recognised how anxious I had become and arranged for my procedure to be brought forward. That simple act of kindness made a huge difference and demonstrated that they weren’t just following a schedule—they were looking after a person. The hospital itself is outstanding. Everything is modern, spotless, calm and beautifully maintained. The environment immediately gives you confidence that you’re receiving care in a first-class facility. Even while waiting, the atmosphere felt organised and reassuring rather than hectic or stressful. After the procedure, I was looked after brilliantly in recovery. The nursing staff were attentive without being intrusive, regularly checked on me, ensured I was comfortable and made sure I understood what would happen next. I felt genuinely cared for throughout my stay. Healthcare is often remembered not just for the treatment itself, but for how people make you feel during what can be one of the most vulnerable days of your life. The team at The Harborne Hospital should be incredibly proud of the standard of care they provide. They combine outstanding professionalism with genuine warmth and empathy, which is a rare and invaluable combination. Thank you to everyone involved in my care. You transformed what I thought would be one of the most frightening medical experiences of my life into one that was calm, dignified and reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend The Harborne Hospital to anyone seeking outstanding private healthcare in the West Midlands.

The Women's Clinic Glasgow

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology, + 1 more

I had a labiapalsty procedure at The Women's Clinic. I had protruding labia minora and it was really negatively affecting my quality of life, as I was thinking about it obsessively. I was incredibly nervous about it but Amanda and Dr H put me at ease on the day. And the procedure was so quick, I couldn't believe I had spent 10 years obsessing over this and then in about 30 minutes they were trimmed and the problem was gone! I went home afterwards (back to my desk to work) like a massive weight had been lifted, and I felt physically fine. Recovery was straightforward – after a few days I was able to move about cautiously with very minimal pain. Didn't really need pain killers after about 36 hours. I've had an episiotomy and stitches in childbirth and this was nothing in comparison. The only frustrating bit was from 2 weeks in when I felt fine but still had to be careful as the wound hadn't healed yet! You just need to be patient, even though you feel good. One side the swelling went down after a week, the other side was swollen for two weeks longer and i could see the new jelly-like new tissue on the wound; I got worried that it was infected or there was a problem but it was fine, just my lack of patience... After 3 weeks I decided to some short, gentle jogs, and the healing seemed to speed up from that stage. I'm now 3 months post procedure. I'm really happy with the results and have had no issues at all. I honestly just never give my labia a second's thought anymore - it's like it never happened! Wish I hadn't put off having the procedure for so long, that would have freed up so much headspace.

Professor Richard Welbourn

General Surgeon

I recently had an Abdominal Hernia repair performed by Professor Welbourn. As a farmer the injury itself was never going to arrive at a convenient time and likewise the surgery and recovery would always be somewhat impactful. Professor Welbourn was able to schedule the surgery to suit my busy calendar and has been extremely informative with regards what I can and more importantly cannot do during my recovery, so as to ensure it does not return. I feel I was promptly and professionally seen from the outset, I felt like I was in good hands with Professor Welbourn, the pre-op consultations, surgery day and post-op meeting were well structured, well explained and reassuring from start to finish. At the moment after 6 weeks it appears the surgery has gone well, and I hope to maintain my strict recovery process over the next few months to ensure this is a one off experience. I’d like to thank Professor Welbourn and his team, as well as those at the Nuffield for all their help and guidance.

Mr James Pegrum

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Engaging and understanding Mr James Pegrum immediately put my mind at rest regarding a replacement hip. I had appointments with him via the NHS Pathway both before and after the operation and his professional manner gave me the uptmost confidence. Accordingly, his skill during surgery and closing the wound resulted in minimum discomfort and i was on my feet walking within 24 hours. The wound has healed very well and there have been no complications. A magnificent result from a remarkable surgeon.
