The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Professor Jian Farhadi

Plastic Surgeon

Professor Farhadi performed a thigh flap breast reconstruction for me two years ago, and a follow up nipple reconstruction with fat transfer a year ago. While this is a more complex surgery with longer recovery than some, I couldn't be happier with the result. The breast feels and looks completely natural, and is a perfect match for my natural breast. The scar on my thigh has faded completely and is positioned in a way that is unnoticeable. I trust Professor Farhadi completely. He performed by original reconstruction in 2012, which was an implant that also looked great but unfortunately ruptured ten years later due to long term effects from radio therapy. There was no question in my mind of using another surgeon for the follow up procedure. He is a perfectionist and has an excellent eye. He also explains everything very clearly, which helped me make the decision for which route to take both times.

Mr Simon Wemyss-Holden

General Surgeon

I had no experience which would help me choose a consultant and had to use the CVs on the Spire website. I mainly chose Mr Wemyss-Holden because of his laparoscopic expertise. He was excellent. Since then, I've met a number of patients who also have a very high opinion of him. On meeting, he immediately put me at my ease, gave a confident diagnosis, explained my operation and assured me it would be successful. All of which he duly delivered. For the operation, he once again explained what would happen and returned afterwards to tell me of its success and what to expect going forward. The following week he gave me a check over and discharged me. Throughout, Mr Wemyss-Holden was very pleasant, while giving me a great deal of confidence that my treatment would be successful. He was open to questions and explained everything in detail.

I truly cannot thank Jessica Zaayman (Pure Raynes Park) and Aisling Freir (Pure Kensington) enough. After having my twins full term three years ago, I spent a long time “getting by” and assuming that certain symptoms were simply my new normal. Jessica and Aisling worked together seamlessly. They listened, supported me, and developed a clear, structured plan tailored to my needs. Within just a few months, the improvements have been significant. Their professionalism and the quality of care I received have been exceptional. I am genuinely grateful for the difference their work has made to my day-to-day life and wellbeing. I highly recommend both Jessica and Aisling.

Spire Leeds Hospital

Mr.Farid offered exceptional care from my first consultation where I felt heard and seen as he explained my medical condition and necessary treatment and procedure. I was extremely grateful for his time, patience, kindness and understanding. The procedure and care itself was faultless, his expertise reassuring and my recovery was smooth. I now feel better than I have for many months. As someone who has unfortunately had a number of hospital procedures, I was extremely grateful to have Mr.Farid as my surgeon. His personable manner and expertise made this a reassuring, straightforward and favourable experience. Thank you so very much Mr.Farid.

I had a cancellation MRI which might explain why I wasn’t sure what to do. Had to wait 30 mins. Mobile units were ok but slightly disorganised. Reception lady was very professional but man who took over wasn’t easy to understand. I had to ask him about clothing to take off. I wasn’t told to remove my boots until I entered MRI room. He and another man got me into the unit but when I was pulled out some way through there was someone different which was strange. However this woman was very nice and kind.

Berkshire Imaging

they were very considerate considering I was terrified as once before I had to press the button. I couldn’t go through with it and I had to go to an open scanner as they were about to place me through. I had to stop them. They gave me time to recompose and got me to look backwards and upwards and out through the exposed end and that made the whole experience different can’t tell you how relieved I am to get through that. I’m highly claustrophobic so yes, the experience was a positive one.

Oh my Davide was fantastic for our gender scan. We got to see way more than we anticipated, its little arms, legs, everything was explained to us, got to hear the heartbeat and have a usb to keep the memories. I highly recommend a private scan. We are planning to come back around 26 weeks and maybe again in the 30s as it can be quite some time between scans on NHS. Honestly highly recommend, friendly, open to questions and amazingly professional! Thank you!

Mr Delukshan Rajah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My doctor’s appointment went really well overall, and the review itself was reassuring and positive. The staff were friendly and thorough, and the doctor took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel very confident about my health. The only minor downside was that the wait to get in was a little slow, but once I was seen, the care and attention easily made up for it. Overall, it felt like a productive and encouraging visit.

Mr Dinesh Alexander

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was very impressed with Mr Alexander & Beardwood Hospital. He was very professional- certainly knows his stuff- very experienced & a lovely bedside manner. Post op recovery was excellent & I’m totally pain free. I was dancing at the weekend- only 6 weeks post op. It’s like a miracle. I would definitely recommend him for a total hip replacement.

Mr Rajesh Deshmukh

Ophthalmologist

I received great care and attention from Mr Deshmukh and his anaesthetist Dr David Celaschi. Exactly what was going to happen was carefully explained and any questions answered before and during my bilateral eye cataract surgery under local anaesthetics with sedation. The after care has been excellent from all Mr Deshmikh's team.

Foot Factor

Orthotics, Podiatry

Recently had some orthotic insoles made here. I felt that I was given time to go through my issues and that the impact the insoles would have was thoroughly explained. 3 weeks later and my feet are already in heaven! Yes, it is expensive but I wish I had taken the plunge years ago! I thoroughly recommend Foot Factor.

Centennial Medical Care

I saw a private GP a couple of hours after phoning for an appointment, as I couldn’t get an appointment to see my regular GP. She has a lovely bedside manner and did a thorough check-up. I was very happy, as I always am, with the service at Centennial Medical Centre. The pharmacy on-site is excellent and very handy.

Mr Ramesh Kumar Gurunathan

ENT Surgeon

We had an excellent experience with this doctor. He provided thorough consultations and performed the surgery to remove our child’s adenoids and tonsils. Everything went smoothly, and we were very pleased with the quality of care and professionalism. We are truly grateful for his work and highly recommend him.

Mr Murali Krishnan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Excellent! This was my six week check following my second hip replacement. Thanks to Mr Krishnan I now have two identical hips and no more limping. I couldn't have asked for a better result. I felt that there was the correct balance between friendliness and professionalism. Very reassuring.

Mr Peter Robinson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I fantastic experience! I told the team I was feeling anxious and they truly went above and beyond to help me feel calm and well looked after. Peter Robinson was fantastic at explaining what he was going to do and reassuring me everything would be well. Thank you everyone for your care!
