Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

As a someone who has never experienced detox/rehab, group therapy, meetings, psychiatric evaluation or support and with very little exposure to discussion or open dialogue about my addition or indeed addiction in general it would have been helpful to have a better introduction/orientation to the process, perimeters, etiquette etc. I full appreciate the variables and ambiguities in an environment such as this but even being aware of what they might be would have been helpful. I felt my length of stay and the detox treatment was minimised and at times mocked, invalidating my treatment, commitment and if I’m honest, my character. I felt ridiculous and vulnerable and two particular group sessions. I would never have mocked anyone else’s efforts or derided anyone on their multiple attempts at recovery but if I had I would have fully expected to be challenged for doing so - I didn’t feel there was anyone interested in challenging the negativity directed towards me and it left me feeling quite isolated and undermined.

Castle Craig Hospital

Psychiatry, Psychotherapy

Jag kom till Castle Craig från Sverige efter att ha blivit hänvisad av Beroendekliniken i Stockholm, och jag var nervös inför att resa utomlands för behandling. Redan från början kändes dock hela processen lugn och välorganiserad, vilket verkligen hjälpte mig att känna mig trygg. Personalen var vänlig, tillgänglig och visade ett genuint engagemang för min återhämtning. Behandlingen kändes personlig och aldrig stressad, och för första gången kände jag mig verkligen lyssnad på och förstådd. Den lugna miljön gjorde det lättare att fokusera på mig själv och mitt tillfrisknande. Jag åker härifrån med mer självförtroende, klarhet och praktiska verktyg för vardagen. Jag skulle absolut rekommendera Castle Craig till alla som söker stöd, även om det innebär att resa från ett annat land.

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Miss Despina Mavridou highly enough. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and professional, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Miss Mavridou took the time to really listen, explained everything clearly, and answered all my questions with patience and care. She was super efficient while never feeling rushed, and I genuinely felt that she went above and beyond to help me. I couldn’t have asked for better support or treatment. Her expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach truly set her apart. I am extremely grateful for her care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding doctor. Dr Mavridou is an absolute credit to her profession.

I recently had a consultation with Dr Tan, and I was truly impressed by the level of care she provided. She showed exceptional compassion and empathy, listened carefully to every concern, and addressed each point thoroughly and individually. No question felt rushed or unwelcome. This review honestly doesn’t do justice to the standard of service we received. I left the appointment feeling completely reassured and confident that I was in the safest hands. Speaking with her felt like talking to someone I had known for years—she was patient and so attentive. Whenever something wasn’t clear, she took the time to explain it fully, even using drawings to help us understand. A service like that will never be forgotten, thank you so much!

Riz Ultrasound

Physiotherapy

I really appreciated being able to get a quick appointment and having my scan done by a doctor radiologist who could then explain what he saw and give me some advice. The scan was done quickly and it allowed me to promptly get the scan done for my GP. I was super pleased that the report arrived quickly, it was there in my emails before I even got home! There was a chaperone there too, the clinic was nice and the receptionist was very warm and friendly and efficient. All in all a great discovery for me as I felt the prices were very reasonable for private scans so I could use the service for regular health checks..

Dr. Georgios Basdanis

Psychiatrist

Dr. Georgios Basdanis exceeded all expectations. He was extremely professional and insightful. He listened to me patiently and intently, and his expertise is impressive. Not only was he able to diagnose my condition promptly, but he was able to communicate in a compassionate, caring and intelligent way, making me understand for the first time what my condition is. I can highly and confidently recommend Dr. Basdanis, whose extensive experience, natural talent and a genuinely compassionate manner are an asset to the medical industry. I would like to thank him for the profound positive impact on my life.

The Harborne Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

The imaging team — particularly R. Wilson and L. Kuriakose — were outstanding. Their efficiency, professionalism, and the way they worked with me throughout the treatment were superb. In contrast, communication from the reception team was limited. There was little information provided regarding waiting times or updates, and my next of kin were not kept informed about what was happening or how long the process might take. This created unnecessary uncertainty during an already stressful time. Parking was also extremely challenging, to the point where travelling by train would likely have been easier.

London Finsbury Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

I had a great experience at this clinic for my Botox treatment. The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. They took the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly and answered all my questions, which really helped me feel confident and relaxed. The clinic has a very clean and welcoming atmosphere, and the results look natural and exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for high quality aesthetic treatments. Thank you ,Cristina

Mr Hasan Kasem

General Surgeon

Was a little bit disappointed with the service of leaving the hospital I hardly slept during the night. A young boy told me at 7:30 to get washed and ready to go home about 10 I said 11 o’clock would be better but when I was getting ready to go home my medication wasn’t ready. My taxi arrived 1130 and he had to go away then I had to find someone else with great difficulty to pick me up and sign papers to discharge me.the young boy did apologise . I was waiting for quite a bit of time and all my medication to be ready.

Mr Divyang Shukla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had my right hip replaced in 2015 by Mr Shukla, this has made a huge difference to my life giving me my life back. Allowing me to continue with my daily life and exercise, cannot thank him enough. Now I need my knee replaced and would only go to Dr Shukla. He is very caring, explaining everything to me and listened to my questions, answering everything that I asked. I know that I am in safe hands with Dr Shukla, and would only want him to do my operation. Cannot thank him enough, brilliant surgeon.

Mr Sam Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The care that I have received from Mr Singh and his team has been outstanding from start to finish. The surgery went extremely well and I am very pleased with the results. The level of care that I received throughout - from my first consultation to post op was really well managed and done so with a friendly smile. Everything was explained to me clearly and I felt listened to so I knew I was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Dr Singh to anyone considering surgery.

Mr Manaf Khatib

Plastic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr Khatib to have a basal cell carcinoma removed from my cheek, just below my eye. He immediately put me at ease with his clear explanation of options and what they involved. Mr Khatib performed the surgery with great care and skill. My resulting scar is hardly noticeable and I'm delighted with the results. I couldn't have been in better hands, he is a genuinely lovely and authentic person as well. Would so highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Renata Karaliene

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I went to Dr. Renata Karoliin because of infertility, I was treated with my husband for 5 years in other countries and by different doctors, there was no result. I turned to her, after the examination, she prescribed treatment, one visit to her, and I saw two long-awaited strips in the pregnancy test. Today I'm already holding my daughter in my arms. Many thanks to her for her professional approach and treatment.

I found the number of emails related to the appointments to be unnecessary and extreme. I was asked to complete a pre appointment questionnaire online. I did so and then received 3 further emails and a text message asking me to do the same. I have also received 4 emails asking me to give this feedback. Please look at your system. Filling your clients inboxes with multiple emails is not helpful for anyone.

Mr Sam Norton

Plastic Surgeon

We had an excellent experience with Mr Norton when my son had two moles removed. The care was professional, clear and reassuring throughout, with everything explained thoroughly. Also very caring and understanding towards my son when he was anxious. The procedure was handled with great care, and we felt confident we were in very capable hands. The end result was brilliant. Highly recommended.
