Miss Jennifer Darrien

General Surgeon

Upon meeting Jennifer she instantly made me feel at ease. She thoroughly went through my medical history both before on telephone conversation then face to face upon arrival at the Pines Hospital. The whole procedure was disscused with inckuding any concerns about having the Roux en Y versus the gastric sleeve. We opted for the Gastric sleeve to be done because of past kidney operation and heart complications. Herself and the anaesthetist explained full the procedure and options avaikabke to me a d untably left the decison to myself were i opted for the gastric sleeve. I must say the care and precision of fhe whole operation as been excellent. Jennifer is a lovely surgeon who makes you feel at ease, imformative and excellent bedside manner. Couldnt of wished for a better surgeon to look after me and the whole team at Pines. I would certainly recommend the facilities and care of everyone here. So pleased so far with the outcome and looking forward to a brighter future and transformed person in the long run. Thank you so much Jennifer Darrien x

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

We feel so fortunate to have been able to have our daughter delivered at the Portland Hospital. Our room, the food, the care, everything was exceptional. Most of all we are grateful to the incredible midwives, who looked after us with such warmth and patience. We felt so safe in the knowledge that one of these incredible women was there around the clock to look after us and guide us through the early days and hours of our journey into parenthood. The various healthcare professionals (paediatrician, physio, lactation consultant, pharmacist) as well as the registrar who came to see us were all exceptional individuals too and it was incredibly helpful to be seen by all of them during our hospital stay. A special thank you goes to Pat, our amazing midwife, who accompanied us on the day of our birth. We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful midwife to be with us on this incredible journey.

Mr Bilal M Barkatali

Orthopaedic Surgeon

All my visits with Mr Barkatali have been pleasant, he listens to every word and makes you feel safe and secure when you’re with him. I have just been discharged after having two knee surgeries(arthroscopy & cartilage repair) and having been with the consultant for 2ish years. I am over the moon with the treatment and care I have received. Mr Barkatali explained both procedures very well, especially how hard the cartilage repair would be. It was extremely hard to get through but with his help, care and guidance I’ve made it! It’s helped me in more ways than I can explain.Thank you so much. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the consultant to family and friends and if I ever needed help with my knees again I wouldn’t think twice about seeing him. Again Thank you so much.

Dr Murray can find all necessary info on Cleveland Clinic website https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/mast-cell-activation-syndrome He might learn that people with mast cell activation syndrome also have respiratory symptoms. I do not find my consultations helpful. To refer me to physiotherapist instead of asking me about my medical history or for letters from other specialists was the easiest thing to do. I would like you to review my consultation as of yesterday and to let me know whether clinical guidelines were followed. I also would like you to consider the letters from various consultants that I sent to Dr Murray secretary yesterday. In a meantime I will follow Dr Murray advice and will breath in and out, especially during the times of emergency.

Dr. Franciske Evans

Psychiatrist

Dr Evans came highly recommended when doing research on finding a practice for a private ADHD assessment for our 9 year old. From our first appointment through to our feedback session Dr Evans was very welcoming, made our 9 year old feel at ease in clinic, operated with absolute professionalism and communicated well with us at each stage. After a very long wait on a waiting list with the NHS that was going no where, Dr Evans has given us the light at the end of a very long tunnel and I will be forever thankful for finding her. Our new chapter is only just beginning and Dr Evans has explained in detail next steps and will continue to be part of this process until eventually the NHS take over.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Audiology, Cardiology, + 22 more

My wife is in hospital for an operation today and due to prior anxieties over NHS treatment, we asked the hospital for me to stay with my wife in the room throughout including overnight. They have been most accommodating and have bent over backwards to make it work and kept me fully informed throughout how the operation is going. The consultant was more than happy for me to ask questions both during consultations and the surgery today and has given great confidence that all will go as planned. Ward staff have been more than helpful to both of us and treated us as individuals and my wife has been provided a high level of care throughout.

Viva Health Laboratories

Diagnostics & Testing, Nutrition

I’ve always found the team at Viva Health Laboratories to be approachable and genuinely willing to help whenever needed. They are flexible in their approach and provide a very personalised service, which makes a big difference compared to larger providers where that personal touch can sometimes be missing. Their infrastructure has also improved considerably in recent years, and from the standpoint of processing blood tests and results, there are no issues at all. What stands out most for me is their flexibility and the individual care they bring to their clients, it really sets them apart.

Mr Luke Cascarini

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I have found Mr Cascarini to be an extremely professional and caring doctor. He recently provided me with an accurate diagnoses, and took time to provide a clear explaination of the causes of my medical issue, and the options for treatment. My surgery was undertaken promptly following my consultation, and was carried out in a calm and reassuring manner. Throughout my consultations, Mr Cascarini, has shown genuine concern for my well-being, and I have found his patient aftercare to be exemplary. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him.

John Flynn Opticians

Optometry

My experience at John Flynn Opticians has been exceptional. Sheeraz Janjua, Optometrist, was fully attentive and made me feel really welcome and listened fully to everything I said. I have never been tested at an opticians in the way I was here, everything was covered in detail and professionally. The detail he gave to me was first class. The staff at John Flynn are excellent and made me fully welcome. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this opticians. I will most definitely return.

I had no pain or discomfort during the operations and no after effects whatsoever except greatly improved vision. I am so grateful to Mr Chadha for his superb skill and for his lovely caring manner. He explained everything so clearly and patiently and I would not hesitate for one second in recommending him and Vision Scotland to others. Thank you so so much.

The spire Elland was a lovely, clean hosptial. My room had recently been renovated, which meant it felt clean and comfortable. The staff were all nice, regularly bringing me hot drinks and heat packs for my symptoms. A particular shoutout to the team conducting my anaesthetic, I was quite overwhelmed/concerned and they really supported me and put me at ease. I would definitely consider spire elland again for my treatment.

Mr Chatenya Chauhan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The compassion I received from Dr Chahuan n reassurance he gave me uplifted my spirits tremendously; prepared me for the surgery n attended my bedside post surgery to explain in great detail how the procedure went. In that helpless state he reiterated that all had gone well and I was on the path to healing. And like I said to him during my post surgery consultation "thank you for giving me a NEW LIFE" Dr Chahuan.

Miss Claire Mellon & Associates

Holistic Therapy, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 1 more

very good - it would be an idea to explain that another person would be present during the physical examination I was told to pay a deposit, but then the full consultation amount was taken out. then the day before I was told to register my card details the repeated appointment reminders, by email and text, felt stressful
