Professor Graeme Hopper

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After nearly six years of seeing multiple specialists and being told there was nothing wrong with my knee — and that I simply needed to strengthen it — I was feeling incredibly frustrated and unheard. During that time, I experienced repeated episodes where my knee would completely lock. The pain was agonising, and I would have to wait, unable to move my leg, until the meniscus shifted back into place. When I was finally referred to Mr Hopper, he identified the problem within 15 minutes of examining me. After years of uncertainty, it was such a relief to feel listened to and understood. I underwent meniscus repair surgery a couple of months later and am now seven weeks post-operation. Although I still have a few months of rehabilitation and recovery ahead of me, there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. For the first time in years, I feel hopeful that I will truly have my life back. The difference already has been life-changing. Before surgery, I was constantly cautious and anxious about my movements, worried my knee would lock again. Now I feel so much more confident and comfortable. Mr Hopper was supportive and understanding throughout the entire process. After the operation, he personally came to see me and clearly explained what the issue had been and exactly how he had repaired it, which I really appreciated. I cannot recommend him highly enough — truly a 10 out of 5.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Newmedica Leeds. 5* Care from start to finish. My optician at Specsavers suggested it was time to consider cataract surgery and I was offered an NHS referral to my choice of providers. I chose Newmedica Leeds and just over 2-3 weeks later had an initial consultation at Newmedica. Unfortunately my high blood pressure caused some problems and delayed the first cataract operation to my left eye, after 4-5 weeks weeks I had surgery on my first eye and 5-6 weeks later my second eye was done. Without exception all of the staff I met at Newmedica were friendly, helpful, and very caring. The consultant who carried out the procedure on both eyes (Mr. Kamran Khan) took the time to explain the procedure and answer my questions. During the procedures he was reassuring and calmly explained what was happening. Both procedures were carried out successfully and my sight is so much better now. I would like to give a big thank you to Mr Kamran Khan and his team and my Optometrist Summer Elyoussfi and her team for all the care and attention I received. I have no hesitation in recommending Newmedica Leeds.

Professor Tony Kochhar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Professor Kochhar was superb. Despite arriving in immense neck and shoulder pain, Prof. Kochhar immediately made me feel at ease, clearly listening to my symptoms but moving swiftly to ensure I was out of pain (or as much as was possible prior to a diagnosis). He instilled a level of calm and reassuring professionalism during our initial consult that gave me confident moving forward to understand the diagnosis and next steps. Further, he personally walked with me to ensure I had a same day MRI appointment amid a back to back schedule. Between his clear expertise and his care for seeing patients recover, I cannot recommend him enough.

Pretty straightforward experience overall. The receptionist on the first floor (the Somali lady wearing a hijab) was extremely kind and helpful. My phone was about to die and I asked if there was any chance of a charger- she went out of her way to help me, which I really appreciated. It’s the small things like that which leave a lasting impression, and that’s exactly why I wanted to leave this review. The only small suggestion I’d make is having oat milk available at the coffee machine for those who don’t have dairy, it would be a thoughtful and considerate touch.

Dr. Mohammad Mozaffari-Chinjani

Dentist

Dr. Mohammed consistently provides an excellent standard of care. He is always friendly and professional, with a calm and positive manner that puts patients at ease. He takes a genuine interest in overall wellbeing, not just dental concerns, and is both attentive and thorough in his approach. Dr. Mohammed explains procedures and treatment options clearly and thoughtfully, ensuring you fully understand each step. His curiosity and attention to detail inspire real confidence. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and considerate dentist.

I attended tonight for a scan of my hands with Dr Patterson. On arrival I was welcomed at reception, checked in quickly and asked to take a seat in the waiting room. Breda then came out and called me to attend the consultation room, introductions were made, and Dr Patterson then performed my scan, he was professional, and provided information relevant to my condition. The whole consultation was a pleasure and demonstrated the significance difference a private company can make to a struggling NHS. Thankyou both again for such a positive experience.

Mr Lalin Navaratne

General Surgeon

I attended saint marys hospital over a week ago with severe pain from a gallbladder infection. I was informed my infection markers were very high. I was given antibiotics and told to wait several weeks before I could have the gallbladder removed. Then I met Dr Navaratne and his team who arranged for me to have the surgery straightaway. The surgery went amazingly well and my pain improved immediately. I was discharged just two days after the emergency gallbladder removal and I am so grateful to Dr Navaratne, his team and the hospital

Mr Franscois Runau

General Surgeon

I am so glad that I had Mr Runau as my surgeon. He has excellent knowledge, is kind, listens and follows through with what he says. I was previously given limited surgical options through the NHS, and when I shared my concerns and my expectations with Mr Runau he tailored a management plan to give me the highest change of post operative success. He dealt with all of my concerns, made me feel comfortable and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a colorectal surgeon.

Spire Manchester Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 11 more

This hospital is pleasant to attend. It is clean- including the bathrooms and baby changing areas which are spotless. There are several small but well stocked indoor play areas for children which make a huge difference when entertaining them between appointments/ diagnostics. The on-site cafe is welcoming and extremely reasonably priced. Staff are always friendly and look happy to be there. Most importantly, appointments run on time and there is ample free parking on site.

Dr Debi Ray

Paediatrician

As soon as I met Dr Ray I felt my son was in the very best hands. After seeing several local doctors in Norfolk that were unable to help, we travelled to London to see Dr Ray. After seeing my son for a few moments I could see she understood his problem and was our best chance to make him better. Her calm and friendly manner made both my son and myself feel relaxed and that she cared.

Ms Tanaya Sarkhel

I saw Ms Sarkhel to discuss carpal tunnel release surgery. She described the potential risks and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I had the surgery this week, everything was very relaxed and straightforward. She has a great relationship with the staff at the hospital and the care I received was excellent

Dulwich Podiatry

Podiatry

Process of verruca treatment so far at Dulwich podiatry has been very smooth and stress free. The staff are friendly and professional. My treatment is not yet complete but the team is very clear about how long the treatment is likely to take, and when it is best to switch from one treatment method to the next.
