Miss Javeria Iqbal

General Surgeon

I would like to share my heartfelt experience with Miss Javeria Iqbal, because the care, skill, and compassion she has shown me throughout my breast cancer journey has been nothing short of life-changing. Being diagnosed with breast cancer was one of the most frightening moments of my life. Everything felt overwhelming — the uncertainty, the fear, the endless questions running through my mind. But the moment I met Miss Iqbal, something inside me shifted. She brought a calm, gentle reassurance that instantly put me at ease. She spoke to me with kindness, understanding, and total honesty, and from that first meeting I knew I was in the safest hands possible. Throughout every stage of my treatment, Miss Iqbal treated me with dignity and genuine care. She didn’t just explain things; she made sure I truly understood them. She listened to my worries, answered every question, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. She treated me as a person, not just a patient, and that made all the difference during such an emotional and challenging time. As for the surgery itself — I am still in complete awe. The results have been absolutely amazing, far beyond anything I could have hoped for. The precision, skill, and detail in her work are mind-blowing. I am so pleased and relieved with the outcome. She didn’t just operate on me; she helped give me back my confidence, my comfort, and a sense of myself that I thought I might lose. I will never be able to thank her enough for that. What stands out most about Miss Iqbal is not only her exceptional surgical expertise, but the compassion and warmth she brings to her work. She made me feel strong when I felt weak, supported when I felt scared, and cared for when I felt alone. She carried me through one of the hardest chapters of my life with kindness, patience, and unwavering professionalism. I will forever be grateful to Miss Javeria Iqbal and her incredible team. She has changed my life in ways I can’t fully put into words. If you are facing breast cancer and searching for a surgeon who is not only extraordinarily skilled but truly compassionate, I could not recommend Miss Iqbal more. She is exceptional in every way. Many thanks again Helen B and family x

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

I've seen the Joint Injection doctor twice, had two injections, and both were very helpful. The first visit was after I suffered some tissue injury to an arthritic knee and had some fluid removed and a cortisone injection, which gave me immediate relief and was the catalyst to me returning to exercise. I was having ongoing stiffness in the same joint and returned six months later. After consultation I chose to have a hyaluronic acid injection. This made a big difference to the pain, stiffness and function of my knee and has meant I am able now to properly rebuild strength on that side. Dr Thing is easy to talk to, and I felt he really supported what I am trying to do, which is to stay highly active and delay the point I will need surgery for as long as possible. He is very well informed and explained clearly the pros and cons of various approaches to managing arthritis of the knee. He is also skilled at what he does, the injections are ultrasound guided to ensure correct placement and both injections were painless.

Miss Caroline Payne

Plastic Surgeon

I recently had a breast reduction with lipo filling with Caroline Payne, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very first consultation she made me feel completely at ease — she listened carefully, explained every option clearly, and genuinely cared about achieving the best result for me. On the day of surgery, her calm, confident manner put all my nerves to rest. The team she works with is amazing too — so kind, attentive and professional. My recovery was smoother than I ever expected, and Caroline checked in regularly to make sure I was healing well and feeling comfortable. The results are absolutely life-changing. The size, shape, symmetry and softness are everything I hoped for and more. I feel lighter, more confident, and genuinely like the best version of myself. Caroline is not just a brilliant surgeon — she’s compassionate, honest and incredibly skilled. I would recommend her to anyone considering breast surgery. She’s truly exceptional.

Spire St Anthony's Hospital

Dermatology, General (Internal) Medicine, + 21 more

I had a lumbar microdiscectomy at St Anthony’s and the care I received was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, patient and attentive throughout my stay. In the post-operation recovery area, the Irish nurse who looked after me was especially wonderful. I’m so sorry I can’t remember her name — I was still a bit loopy after the anaesthetic — but she was unbelievably kind, gentle and reassuring at a moment when I really needed it. On the ward, Rose was also fantastic. She checked on me regularly, made sure I was comfortable, and was so warm and supportive. Her kindness made the first night after surgery much easier. Overall, the team at St Anthony’s made what could have been a very stressful experience feel calm and safe. I’m really grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend the hospital.

Professor Sanjay Purkayastha

General Surgeon

This was my second time undergoing surgery with Professor Purkayastha, and once again the experience was exceptional from start to finish. This time I had to have my gallbladder removed and hiatus hernia repair at the same time, and I felt completely confident in his care throughout. He is patient, thorough and genuinely attentive always taking the time to explain everything clearly. His team is equally great and accommodating. They made every step of the process smooth and stress-free, which made such a difference to my overall experience. The procedure went smoothly and I’m very grateful for the care I received and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. Now having had two operations with him, I can say with complete confidence that I trust him wholeheartedly.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr. Kariyawasam offers a rare and exceptional combination of deep medical expertise and genuine compassion. She is highly skilled in diagnosing her patients with accuracy and efficiency, while also attending thoughtfully to the human concerns that naturally arise when one needs medical evaluation or treatment. Her follow-up letters are always clear, thorough, and truly helpful. Even her secretary is accessible, kind, and supportive, which makes the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Dr. Kariyawasam initially became my doctor by chance, as I needed an urgent appointment and she happened to be available. It is no coincidence, however, that she will remain my doctor moving forward. Her care is outstanding in every way.

Candover Clinic

Dental Care, Dermatology, + 19 more

Arrived early as instructed, car park was full as the barrier was open and it appeared people were taking advantage of free parking. The amount of cars in the car park did not reflect the amount of people in the waiting area. I was shown where to go and I took a seat, my appointment was at 2.30 i was there at 2.15 I went in around 3.00. Not sure why I needed to be so early as I was not asked to fill in any forms or speak to anyone. My actual appointment was ok the consultation was professional and the consultant was very nice. Disappointed that the hot drink station doesn’t have takeout cups or the nice border biscuits.

Dr Debashish Das

Cardiologist

I’ve recently been under the care of Dr Das and his wonderful secretary Neeru, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Dr Das combines clinical expertise with a calm, reassuring manner that immediately puts you at ease. He is decisive, reassuring and on your side to get you what you need promptly. Neeru is simply exceptional—efficient, kind, and always responsive, she makes the whole process feel seamless. Together, they provide a level of care and professionalism that’s truly rare. I’m deeply grateful and fortunate I was referred to Dr Das.

Spire London East Hospital

Gastroenterology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 21 more

I had a great experience at this practice. The hospital was exceptionally clean, well-structured, and very well organized. There was hardly any waiting time, and I was called in for my appointment surprisingly quickly. The facilities were also outstanding. Both the hospital itself and the X-ray department were equipped with modern, high-quality technology, which made the whole process smooth and efficient. Overall, it was an impressive and reassuring experience.

The Prostate Centre

Urology, Oncology

I had an outstanding experience with Mr Arumuham and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first appointment, Mr. Arumuham demonstrated exceptional expertise, professionalism, and genuine compassion. They took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explained every step of the evaluation and treatment process in clear and reassuring terms, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout. Thank you so much!!!

Miss Jennifer Darrien

General Surgeon

I was referred to the Nuffield for my procedure after a long period on the waiting list, where Miss Darrien was my surgeon. From the initial letter asking for my consent to go outside BCHB, I was seen promptly by the staff & Jennifer in Chester. Once I was examined & my details were in, I was seem for my pre op & surgery was arranged for a month or so later, which was excellent & I couldn't fault the whole experience.

Mr Kevin O'Neill

Neurosurgeon

Prof Kevin O Neill is excellent and I found he gave me a lot more time and care than other specialist private doctors give during new and follow up consultations. I had a very complex medical history and often worry about sharing that complexity with Doctors but with Mr O Neill i did not feel rushed, he took the time to understand the inter relating issues and approached my treatment very thoroughly.

Nuffield Health Leicester Hospital

I rate my experience with Nuffield Leicester 5 out of 5. The staff are warm, welcoming and professional. Throughout my procedure they looked after me and made sure I was comfortable and pain free. The operation timing was quick and communication from all staff members was fantastic. It was my first experience with private healthcare and I will definitely use them again.

Mr Mohit Bansal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Very good, but would have liked a bit more of an explanation before the operation as when I saw the Xray I was surprised at the extent of the surgery. I understood I had to have a total hip replacement but wasn't sure what that meant. But over all I can't fault the team.

Mr Chrysostomos Dimitriou

Ophthalmologist

Very friendly and listened to what I had to say. I was late going in but the delay didn’t matter on this occasion. Would have like to know how much my treatment is going to be. Haven’t heard about any follow appointment yet for the procedure I need
