Professor Francisco Leyva-Leon

Cardiologist

My recent visit was 27th Jan 26 for an Annual Review and my request to consider any further testing considered appropriate. Professor Leyva-Leon was timely with the appointment as usually the case. The Professor knows my case well after a number of years consulting and treatment for atherosclerosis and related aspects having diagnosed me as asymptomatic. As I understand it I am doing well and present as fit with regular exercise. We discussed any further testing and the Professor is to carry out an echo update. In considering anything else consideration was to be given as to whether a profusion test would be constructive or not. The Professor always explains his thinking and has an excellent patient manner which I value. As a none - medic I rely on his expertise. Based on my experiences over a number of years I have felt confident to recommend his services to colleagues.

Bourn Hall Fertility Clinic, Cambridge

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I had a Teams meeting today with Angela about my nutrition, as I’m looking for ways to gain weight. She was completely non judgemental, incredibly warm, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole conversation. She never made me feel bad about my eating habits and was very kind and understanding in the way she worked with me. She gave me really sound advice and clear, practical feedback on how I can improve things going forward, particularly around healthy weight gain. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the meeting. I half expected to be told to cut out lots of foods and start eating things I didn’t like but instead, she took the time to understand what I like and don’t like to eat. Overall, she was extremely helpful, supportive, and approachable, and I genuinely appreciated the session. I thought she was great.

Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Paediatric Cardiology, Breast Surgery, + 35 more

My experience with Nuffield Health was excellent from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, well organised, and reassuring at every stage. The staff were professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. From reception through to the clinical team, everyone made me feel comfortable and well looked after. Communication was clear, appointments ran on time, and I always felt informed about what was happening. The facilities were clean, modern, and well maintained, which added to the overall sense of confidence and professionalism. The care I received was of a very high standard, and I felt supported throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Nuffield Health to anyone looking for high quality healthcare delivered with kindness and professionalism.

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

I have been with the practice for a number of years and have mostly been pleased with the experience. The only thing I have a problem with is that the staff of all kinds do not speak loudly enough. There is always a lot of noise from machines etc. and soft voices, and sometimes accents, make it difficult to understand., especially when it has a medical content. Also nobody seems to understand that they should make sure the patient is comfortable, as the chairs vary in design and all do not adjust when required. Otherwise I am pleased to have found the practice many years ago and have gone through a good few different staff members in that time, so the experience has been interesting, despite the stairs! I am lucky to have good teeth.

The Royal Free London Private Patients Unit

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 18 more

Hello I was very upset when the hospital charge me for XRAY in an NHS hospital that we have to be in the queue and don't get the private care. I had a fall in June 2024 and had an operation at RFH unfortunately the operation was not successful. I can't walk properly I am on a stick and have lots of pain. If I go to private is because I don't have any access to NHS but that doesn't mean that for diagnosis I need to pay while me and my family are paying a lot for taxes and don't benefit for our health when we need and are desperate. I also have been to another private consultant to find out what went wrong and if I can ever get better and can walk but they just charge me for consultation not XRAY in an all private clinic. Thank you

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Psychiatry, Psychology

Everyone I dealt with was great overall. The experience was good aside from a couple of mistakes which then lead to long delays. One of the assessment calls didn't work and I had made time to sit through it. They did try to rectify this quickly but it still took another few weeks which after such a long time was frustrating. Sometimes when I would ring up the person who would answer would be short and I didn't feel so comfortable speaking to them. Otherwise, I would recommend this service up to diagnosis - I am yet to try the medication and services beyond here. I wish there was more the NHS or RTN could provide to offer support post diagnosis. The recommendations are useful but I would like a little more.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

All staff, from reception to nurses and surgeons, I found to be friendly, courteous, helpful and professional. I was generally rather nervous about the whole process, this being the very first time I experienced any form of surgery or a stay in hospital. However, I was treated with the utmost respect and understanding and felt well advised at all times, allowing me to make informed decisions at my own pace, without being pressured. I had to wait a bit longer than I had anticipated for surgery but by comparison to the NHS, it was efficient and slick. It is early days to comment properly on my shoulder replacement but things are progressing well although slowly and I am hopeful for the future.

Kingsbridge Private Hospital Belfast

Vascular Surgery, Breast Surgery, + 37 more

I arrived early, as I was expecting to be seen in time, but my appointment was late ~45mins. I had discussed on the phone that I wanted to see someone who is going to be helpful with discussing menopause and other related issues. I was paying for the appointment myself, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately the time with the doctor felt rushed and I felt not heard. I had done a lot of research on holistic menopause care, and I felt that the doctor wasn’t in the same wave length with me. I was just advised to go and read more on menopause in two different websites. Examination was fine and straight forward, but to be sure of the diagnosis I will need futher procedures.

Mr Simon Coleridge

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Mr Coleridge as the surgeon for my right total knee replacement. Before the operation, two highly experienced physiotherapists in Kingsbridge told me, in no uncertain terms, that he is the best. They were absolutely right. Mr Coleridge’s bedside manner and genuine care are first rate. He explained the procedure clearly and reassuringly, and the outcome has been better than I could ever have hoped for. The improvement has been remarkable. Thank you, Mr Coleridge. If my other knee ever needs replacing, I can only hope I will be lucky enough to be under your care again.

Mr Tom Williams

Sports Therapist

Tom is an exceptional strength and conditioning coach. I started working with him while recovering from a chronic hamstring injury, and the care, thoughtfulness, and expertise he brings to every session is outstanding. He works seamlessly with the physio team to tailor rehab that’s genuinely achievable, never pushing too much too soon. Tom is incredibly personable and considerate - he adapts everything to you as an individual. Tom puts real thought into every programme, and genuinely cares about long-term health and strength - I can’t recommend Tom highly enough.

Dr Efstathios Theodorou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I owe so much to Dr Theodorou. We spent loads of time in research finding the right consultant and clinic for us, and I'm so pleased to say we chose correctly. He understood immediately that I wanted to give IVF everything I had on the first go without sacrificing my mental health, body, or finances. He helped me find the right balance of testing and treatment and really tailored everything to me. Because of his careful and kind manner, I was successful on my first and only cycle of ICSI. My son is now 5 months old, and I honestly still can't believe it's real.

Butterfield Osteopathy

Osteopathy, Paediatrics

I've been going to Butterfield Osteopathy for several years and I've always been very grateful for their help and support. The clinic is lovely and all the osteopaths I’ve consulted with have been amazing. Bella Eacott is great for general osteopathy, Emma Delalex has helped me with craniosacral therapy and Gervais Roubeix has managed to release loads of muscular tensions with dry needling and general osteopathy. I highly recommend Butterfield Osteopathy.

Mr Ravi Ray

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Had frozen shoulder surgery with Ravi and happy to say im so glad I did it. Going in I was apprehensive but Ravi put my mind to rest and walked me through it step by step and when it come to surgery day again came to see me to run through everything and with the biggest smile. Once back in my room he came up and moved my arm to show me that it was a success. Now 4 weeks on I have 90% movement back im so happy!

Mr Giles Stafford

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From the first appointment, I have had confidence that Mr Stafford is a trustworthy and highly skilled surgeon. He has been clear and careful in his communication, alerting me to risks and also describing the procedure in detail. Now that I am post-op, he is supportive in my progress and clear in what I should and should not be doing. I couldn't ask for better.

Dr. Jeeu Sze

Rheumatologist

I attended after being very worried about the appointment, it took some time to get here. I was provided with the opportunity to share how my mobility issues impact upon my day to day life. I was provided with a clear plan and was examined which offered assurance. Doctor had reviewed all available information, I felt listened to and reviewed what to do next.

Professor Amtul Carmichael

General Surgeon

Professor Carmichael is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She makes you feel like you are the most important person in that moment and she really cares. She is incredibly knowledgeable, I trust her completely, and feel very safe in her hands. I would happily recommend her to friends and family. Just a genuinely wonderful human being!
