Prof. Hector Chinoy

Rheumatologist

appreciated the opportunity to see Professor Chinoy and I recognise his substantial expertise in rheumatology and inflammatory muscle conditions. He was polite, clear, and reassuring in his manner. However, I left the appointment feeling that some key parts of my longitudinal history were not fully integrated into the assessment. Despite having uploaded all my scans from 2021, 2022, and September 2025, these were not able to be reviewed together during the consultation because the files were not opened on the system. This meant we were unable to discuss the progression pattern across the years — including the shift from right-sided abnormalities (fatty infiltration in 2021, right psoas sheath oedema in 2022, and right paraspinal inflammation in May 2025) to the newly emergent left-sided oedema in September 2025. This remains one of my main concerns, and I had hoped to go through it as a connected clinical story. I also felt somewhat discouraged when the peer-reviewed publications I mentioned — particularly the Brain journal review “Axial Myopathy: an overlooked feature of muscle diseases” — were dismissed as unhelpful for patients to read. I fully understand the concern about online searches, but the review is a major academic paper describing: • axial myopathy being frequently misattributed to spinal degeneration, • seronegative inflammatory myopathies, • cases where paraspinal involvement is the earliest or only manifestation, and • the consistent issue that MRI abnormalities in the paraspinal muscles are under-recognised by non-neuromuscular specialists. These points felt directly relevant to my pattern of findings, particularly as my bloods have remained seronegative and several consultants have attributed the MRI abnormalities mainly to spinal wear-and-tear — something the paper specifically warns can lead to under-diagnosis. I appreciate that Professor Chinoy believes the fatty infiltration and oedema are most likely secondary to spinal changes. However, this does not fully account for: • the right-to-left progression seen on imaging, • the severe nocturnal pain and inability to turn in bed, • the sudden onset bilateral hand pain, stiffness and locking, • the persistence of symptoms despite minimal radiological change in the spine over four years, and • the coexistence of Hashimoto’s disease, which rheumatology felt was irrelevant despite autoimmune diseases sometimes clustering. I am grateful that he has arranged for radiology to re-review the entire MRI set, and I appreciate this very much. However, the consultation left me feeling that many parts of my history and symptoms remain unexplained, and that the published evidence on axial/paraspinal muscle disease — especially in seronegative patients — was not fully considered.

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

I had booked an echocardiogram with a female technician, and had taken the day off work to attend, but when I arrived and asked about the female technician (to confirm), I was told that a female was not available, which was extremely disappointing. I had called twice earlier in the day (before travelling to the appointment) to confirm that a female was available, but no one in the echo department answered the phone. Further, I have been attending the Cleveland Clinic since March of last year, when I had a subarachnoid haemorrhage, and had been told that my standing request for a female echocardiogram technician had been recorded in my patient profile. The staff in the imaging department seemed to be surprised that a woman having this test would insist on a female technician, which indicated a lack of sensitivity and training, and they appeared not to know how to handle this situation. So, not only did I waste my time and lose a work day due to this oversight, but I had to cancel my follow-up cardiology consultation, and now cannot take time off work to reschedule until the new year, which has created a very stressful situation for me. In my opinion, the Cleveland Clinic should always have a female echocardiogram technician on duty, for women who are uncomfortable with a male, and the front desk staff needs much better training in this regard.

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.

Mr Hemant Vakharia

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had surgery with Mr Vakharia to remove a dermoid cyst, and during the procedure he also discovered and removed endometriosis for me, as well as performing a HyCoSy (tube flush). From start to finish, the whole experience was very positive. Mr Vakharia has such a warm, calming manner. He came to speak to me both before and after the surgery, reassured me, and made sure I felt completely confident and informed at every stage. He truly put me at ease, and I felt I was in the best possible hands. The surgery itself was incredibly smooth, everything was handled with great care, and my recovery has been fantastic. I am genuinely so pleased with the outcome. I would 100% recommend Mr Vakharia. His expertise, professionalism and kindness made what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward and positive. I am extremely grateful for the care I received.

Truly Exceptional After experiencing pain from my new hospital contact lenses I was able to book an appointment with Drew far sooner than my Hospital would see me. Drew very quickly determined that ill-fitting lenses were causing Conjunctival Prolapse and advised how best to proceed. Essentially the lenses used by my Hospital were not appropriate for my eyes and, since the Hospital will not use alternative lenses, Drew was able to fit and supply better lenses. These new contact lenses give excellent vision and comfort, even though I have a particular eye condition which makes it very difficult to fit contacts, despite lenses being the only solution for me. Thank you Drew and Team!

Would highly recommend Mr Sahu. He was thorough and took the time to explain my situation to me. It was reassuring to know that the treatment I had already been receiving for my AMD was appropriate but he also highlighted the need for cataract surgery in both eyes. No other professionals had said this to me. This could make a difference to my sight for a bit longer. Thank you.

She made it all so much easier for me.

Mr Enyi Ofo

I recently had nose surgery with Dr. Ofo and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely professional throughout the entire process, making me feel informed and comfortable from start to finish. The surgery went incredibly well, and I can already breathe so much better. I’m very pleased with the results and highly recommend Dr. Ofo.

Dr Surya Panicker Rajeev

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr Rajeev was so lovely and put my mind at ease, talked me through blood levels she would expect ect. I had bloods taken today to save me driving back over to get them done another time. Dr Rajeev made me feel heard, reading all the notes I had prepared. I was talked through the steps that would be taken ect. Very happy with my appointment

Dr Paresh Mehta

I have now had three consultations with Dr Mehta. Each consultation has been excellent. He has explained clearly the investigations that would be taking place, and later the results. The medication he recommended is working well, so I am very happy. I would recommend Dr Mehta to anyone.

Mr Fazal Hasan

General Surgeon

Mr Hasan thoroughly investigated my hernia, informed me of the surgery options and performed the operation. I am only 7 days into my recovery but everything so far is going to plan. Thank you for your help and support.
