Mr Tarek El-Toukhy

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

It is important for me to leave a review here, as these overwhelmingly positive reviews played an instrumental part in us coming to meet Dr Tarek. From the first meeting, it was clear that they were all right: Tarek was by far the most professional and honest, yet warm and caring, doctor we met. We arrived to him after several consultations at private clinics, none of which felt right. A couple of months earlier, we had been denied access to NHS-funded IVF after I was diagnosed with a very low egg reserve just before I turned 40. Tarek didn’t sugar-coat it for us, but he urged us to start straight away, keeping us grounded as to our chances of success in the build-up to the process. Once we started, he was incredibly supportive and always available for questions. He scanned me frequently and kept altering the dosage to ensure the few eggs I had would have the best chance of becoming an embryo, growing increasingly positive, but still realistic, with every milestone we reached during the course of treatment. We managed to get five eggs, a high number for me, and only one of these matured into an embryo. I will never forget the day of the embryo transfer and how touched we were by his sincere wish for this single embryo to become our baby. It was warm and heartfelt in a way I couldn’t have imagined a clinical procedure could be. And against all odds, that one embryo, on the first cycle of a 10%-chance IVF process, turned out to be our beautiful son, who is about to turn three months old. We will be forever grateful to Tarek and the entire staff for this miracle.

Ms Jajini Varghese

Plastic Surgeon

I don’t even know where to begin, because Ms Jajini Varghese was with me at both the lowest and most hopeful points of my life. She was the one who delivered devastating news — and yet she did so with honesty, warmth and humanity. She held my hand, hugged me, spoke to me as a woman, not just a patient. She never sugar-coated, but she always gave me hope. I had a single mastectomy through the NHS, and from the very beginning she was open about expectations while still doing everything she could for the best possible outcome. She told me she would try to save my nipple — and she did. I came out of surgery with excellent symmetry, far beyond what I had been prepared for. At my final check-up (seen by another consultant), he examined me and said he struggled to see which breast had been reconstructed. When he asked who my surgeon was and I told him, his response was simply: “You were operated on by the best.” What stands out most is not just her exceptional surgical skill, but who she is as a person. She is real, warm, relatable .A woman’s woman. She spoke openly, shared human moments, and made me feel brave when I didn’t feel brave at all. If you are facing breast cancer and reconstruction and are scared, I hope you read this and know that you can place your trust in this incredible NHS surgeon. I will forever be grateful.

Mr Sam Dobson

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had a private consultation and subsequent operation with Dr Samuel Dobson, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first consultation, he immediately put me at ease. He was professional yet friendly, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. Dr Dobson was extremely thorough and gave me every opportunity to discuss my symptoms and concerns. He listened carefully, answered all of my questions, and was incredibly reassuring at every stage. I always felt treated with the utmost respect and never rushed. My experience with Dr Dobson has been overwhelmingly positive, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. In fact, I have already recommended him to friends who have experienced similar issues or who have been struggling to conceive.

Dr Duncan Birth

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr Duncan is a superb obstetrician. We were fortunate to be introduced to him during an open evening at the Portland Hospital, and within minutes of talking to him, I thought that he was the right fit for me during my first pregnancy. My husband and I thoroughly looked forward to each appointment with Dr Duncan during the 9 months of pregnancy; we always felt informed, cared for and safe in his hands. His qualifications and experience speak for themselves, but in addition to that he is a warm and interesting person and we always enjoyed his company, as we did that of Colette, his phenomenal secretary. We are supremely grateful for the experience with Dr Duncan and could not imagine a better one with anyone else.

Dr Mauro Lencioni

Cardiologist

Dr. Lencioni performed my ablation along with Dr. De Bono. He is a very calm, reassuring and patient doctor. I was very anxious about the procedure initially but Dr. Lencioni has such a good "bedside manner" that I felt quite ready for the procedure to start. The procedure went well and my after care was excellent. Any questions I had were promptly answered. I received outstanding care from Dr. Lencioni, Dr. De Bono, and Michelle, the practice manager at Birmingham Heart Rhythm Group. I am so grateful because - for now, I have my life back!

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Greeted by friendly staff and seen at my appointment time. Following a basic health check, the procedure was explained in detail and I was taken to a treatment room for the Gastroscopy to begin. Throat spray was applied, blood pressure and oxygen levels were monitored throughout the procedure, then the camera was inserted via the mouth into the oesopagus and stomach. The process was painless but a little discomfort was felt and took no longer that 10 minutes in total. I was then taken to a recovery room and discussed the treatment findings.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

All professionals on all levels, be it administration, psychiatrists, health care professionals etc, have all been extremely empathetic, kind, respectful and efficient. I felt safe and able to trust all members of staff during all interactions I've had. Sometimes organisation wasn't always perfect such as informant questionnaires seemingly getting lost and causing delays and my assessment being double booked requiring a last minute rescheduling, but any problems were dealt with efficiently.

Mr Graham Lawton

Plastic Surgeon

I was seen today for removal of stitches following a perineal flap procedure. Dr Anthony was exceptionally gentle, calm, and professional throughout. He took his time, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained the next steps clearly and reassuringly. Given how sensitive and vulnerable this stage of recovery is, his manner made a huge difference. I felt respected, heard, and genuinely cared for. I’m very grateful for the quality of care and would highly recommend him.

Mr Tim Duncan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy and from the moment I met Mr Duncan I felt in safe hands. His manner and vast experience put my mind at rest and had no anxiety of having the operation at all. I had a wait of around six weeks. All went very successfully in the operation, in the Norwich Spire and recovering at home. The follow up appointment and detailed explanation with amazing photos was incredible. I highly recommend him and his team.

Mr Philip M Stott

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Stott is extremely empathetic, easy to talk to and clearly expert in his field. He explained options very clearly and suggested conservative treatment initially to see if I could avoid a hip replacement which I liked as in my experience, surgeons can be all too keen to jump straight to surgery. I didn't feel rushed or pressurised to make a quick decision and feel I couldn't be in better hands when my is replaced.

I have had physiotherapy treatment with Seth Chambers for several months for various conditions. I was very pleased with Seth's advice which was instructive and really helpful in treating my injuries. It was also very useful that he could refer me to the musculo-skeletal doctor Sarah Rollins at the same practice who was also excellent. I am now injury free and would happily recommend both of them.

HCA Healthcare UK London Bridge Hospital

Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine, + 11 more

The hospital was very clean, very friendly and very welcoming. I was shown to my room, given a menu for dinner that night as I was staying over. The staff were all very polite and attentive, even going above and beyond to get me a chocolate milkshake when the kitchen had shut. Very nice people and a very good stay after my first time going under anaesthetic

Private GP Extra

General Practice (GP)

Dr Simon gave me a thorough explanation of my condition and any risks associated with it. He carried out all required tests and called to chat through my blood test results and to make any recommendations. Through Dr Simon’s clear explanations I’m now far more reassured about the condition, and how to deal with future occurrences. Many thanks.

The Doctors Lounge Berkhamsted

General Practice (GP)

Just had my assessment appointment with Dr Chopra. He is very approachable , easy to talk to ,and thorough. I now feel empowered to get straightforward help in the future. The security of having the same Gp who knows my history, and can give me face to face appointments if needed ,is absolutely worth every penny.

Dr. Ryan O'Neil

General Practitioner

Extremely kind and thoughtful. Dr O’Neil made me feel very at ease , and was very helpful and supportive with my condition. He listened attentively with no hesitation during my examinations, and gave me advice which I didn’t know about for my condition for which I’m grateful for. Thank you!
