Mr Christopher Hemmerdinger

Ophthalmologist

I had worried previously about the need for this procedure, not knowing the risks and outcomes. However, the online information provided ahead of the procedure was detailed and comprehensive, so I knew exactly what to expect. I have known Mr Hemmerdinger for many years, and had confidence in his ability, so I was not at all worried on the day. He gave me so much time to reconsider and mentally prepare, that I worried about holding up his other patients! I really appreciated this. The procedure was not in the least daunting. It seemed to me like paintballing, with flashes of green light. There was no discomfort, apart from a headache from the pilocarpine drops administered in advance, and blurred vision for a while. I waited after the procedure for half an hour to allow time for recovery, after which the eye pressure had reduced. I was particularly reassured by access to the online advice again later, to double check what I should know, and to note and follow up any queries. My only query was promptly answered by email. In all, this was a very positive experience. I wait to learn whether the procedure was effective, but have no qualms now about repeating it in the future, if necessary.

I was made to wait 6 months for my cataract operations because I had a cardioversion. This is a short sedation rather than a general anaesthetic. I have been given no clinical explanations for this. I am in perfect health despite my age. I understand that a normal waiting time at other hospitals is 6 weeks with good recovery after a major operation. I suspect there are no clinical reasons, just a bureaucratic hesitation to take the slightest risk. I wonder how many patients discover that “Well soon” should be retitled “Well sometime”. Your bureaucratic incompetence is illustrated by your list of specialists which does not include the name of my surgeon, your lead ophthalmologist Dr Marzena Raszewska. It is her recorded ability that persuaded me to wait the 6 months rather than seek an alternative.

Dr Vafa Pirjamali

Psychiatrist

Having waited for an appointment for approximately two years, I felt nervous and apprehensive the morning of my appointment. Despite this, after a few moments speaking with Doctor Pirjamali, I felt more calm. Although we discussed some difficult topics such as grief and an eating disorder, he maintained an easy-going, nonjudgemental, professional and informative manner. Our chat was thorough and after the appointment had come to a natural end, I felt relieved knowing that no stone had been left unturned. Doctor Pirjamali came across as kind and extremely knowledgeable in the areas of ADHD and ( although he referred me to speak further to the titration team regarding this) ADHD medication. I I highly recommend him as a Doctor, especially if you are nervous.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), General Surgery, + 5 more

I had an initial consultation for varicose vein treatment (following a flyer in the post) and following further investigations/diagnosis I went ahead and had an operation. The whole experience from beginning to end was first class. Everything was fully explained to me and all my questions were answered before deciding on the most appropriate treatment. The operation (under local anaesthetic) went well with a nurse talking to me all the time and explaining everything which was happening as as well as distracting me! My recovery went as planned - and as explained - and a follow up visit to see the consultant was very reassuring. All in all I was very pleased with everything and would not hesitate in recommending Shepton Mallet Hospital.

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!

Mr Steven Corbett

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Steve is excellent. Personable and very professional and clearly knows his stuff. He operated on our son following a shoulder dislocation playing rugby. Throughout the process, Steve was clear with the surgical options and very thorough in his explanations, particularly understanding with the emotions of a teenager and his desperation to be back on the pitch again. He has a friendly manner and was always quick to answer extra questions we had between consultations. He did an excellent surgical job on our son and we’d have no hesitation in recommending him. We are very grateful for his care and are very pleased with the result of his expertise and handiwork. Thank you so much Steve and team.

Equilibria Health

Psychology, Psychotherapy

I had the pleasure of working with Andrea for quite a long time after having a car accident. She took time to get to know me and what items I really wanted to work on. Each week we found ways that worked for me to express my self and through this she was able to give me amazing direction and grounding techniques to really help my anxiety in the car. I have not only used what we have learned together on the car but have pulled it into my everyday life. I feel lighter and happier. This was life changing for me and I’m so glad we were out together. I would highly recommend Andrea if you are looking for an understanding, empathetic and patient professional who is committed to helping you.

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

Mr Michael Adamczyk

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I specifically sought out Dr Adamczyk for my adenomyosis diagnosis after I had positive interactions with him in the past and can credit my son's successful birth to him. He is knowledgeable, makes you feel at ease, and is supportive in both good and difficult moments. He and his team were highly efficient in planning and performing my hysteroscopy, and its impact was undeniable, as I joked that I felt human again afterwards. Thank you.

We recently referred a client with an acquired brain injury who was displaying episodes of anger incorporating challenging behaviour. Dr Rick Adams was easy to talk to and he quickly and accurately grasped the situation and recommended suitable treatment. His support team, in arranging appointments and correspondence was excellent. I cannot speak highly enough of the support we have been given.

Mr Hugh Jewsbury

Ophthalmologist

From the beginning I felt like I was being looked after. From the initial consultation allowing me to understand what would happen in the surgery, to keeping in contact with me about the process. To the actual surgery and the final appointment. I was not rushed and felt heard. I was able to understand more of the issue than what I knew before. I felt cared for and not forgotten.

Dr. Husain Asgerally

Paediatrician

Per my last positive review after seeing Dr Asgerally - again highly recommend for pediatrics consultation. Friendly, and highly knowledgeable. Dr Asgerally was great with my 7 yr old son, taking time to explain clearly, and listening to any feedback/questions we all had. Refreshing to see so much interaction with the child to understand the symptoms fully. Thanks Dr Asgerally!

Such a lovely doctor, she explained everything perfectly. I did not feel rushed in the appointment at any point, She made me feel comfortable to talk about things as she could see I was a little bit embarrassed. More than happy to give her 10 stars and above in all categories. If I have to come to gynaecology again, I will be requesting to be put on Dr Deepti Cheema list.

Dr. Efe Ejenavi

Gastroenterologist

Dr Ejenavi listened to me and has really helped me by trialing treatment and helping me to rule out other causes of my symptoms. We’ve now found the reason for my symptoms in just over a month. He’s professional and really cares about what you’re saying and tries to help you. I’m so thankful for Dr Ejenavi as now I’m on treatment I feel like a completely different person.

From initial clinical preliminary diagnosis to start of medication each step was explained to you with care and respect. Future tests were also explained which form part of recovery and correct treatment. Done so in a way which exemplifies good patient practice rare these days. A kind and caring doctor who did not make you feel rushed or just a number.

Mr Scott Evans

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This was a follow up after my surgery to remove my tumour in November. One of the worst aspects of living with cancer is the anxiety prior to the next appointment with any medical staff but every time I meet with Dr Evans I am immediately put at ease and all sense of anxiety disappears. He explains everything so clearly and thoroughly.
