London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Mr Jan Herzog

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We are incredibly grateful to Mr Herzog for the outstanding care provided to our child during their scoliosis surgery. From our very first consultation, Mr Herzog was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain the procedure and answer all of our questions, which gave us great peace of mind. The surgery was extremely successful, and our child is recovering better than we ever hoped. The skill, precision, and compassion shown throughout the entire process made a very challenging experience much easier for our family. We truly felt that our child was in the best possible hands. We cannot thank Mr Herzog and the entire medical team and nursing team enough for their professionalism, dedication, and exceptional care. We would highly recommend Mr Herzog to any family facing scoliosis surgery.

Cleveland Clinic London

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

Dr Rachel Sidwell

Dermatologist

I had an excellent experience at The Devonshire Clinic. From the moment I arrived, the entire team was welcoming, calm, and highly professional, which immediately put me at ease. Dr Sidwell is exceptional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. She took the time to listen carefully, explained everything clearly, and ensured I felt fully informed and comfortable throughout. Her team reflects the same high standards: kind, efficient, and supportive at every step. It is rare to find such a combination of clinical excellence and genuine care. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Sidwell and the Devonshire Clinic to anyone seeking outstanding treatment in a reassuring and professional environment.

Mr Kam Balaggan

Ophthalmologist

I was put completely at ease with all my concerns being addressed. The results are amazing, far beyond my expectations even though I was assured it would be good. Mr Balaggan has great skill which he uses to transform our most precious gift, sight. The theatre support team, both in their work and ability to put me at ease while my sight was being restored to what it was 30+ years ago, were friendly and talented. The hospital support staff saw to all my needs from the moment I walked in to the time I left. I cannot put a price or score on the whole experience, I had high hopes. and these were met and gone above and beyond them. I just want to say a huge thank you to all concerned.

Mr Raghav Dwivedi

ENT Surgeon

Mr Dwivedi treated me for a large thyroid lump - I didn't know whether it was benign or malignant and as someone who suffers from anxiety, I was a bit of an anxious wreck in the lead up to surgery. I could not have been treated better by Mr Dwivedi. His bedside manner is excellent, he explained everything very clearly and with empathy, and he put me at ease from the start. I had to have a hemithyroidectomy in order to ascertain whether the lump was cancerous or not (thankfully it wasn't), but the operation was smooth, the recovery was manageable, and the scar is barely noticeable already. All round - I would highly recommend Mr Raghav Dwivedi.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Cardiology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 6 more

The waiting area had few chairs and not enough for the people waiting. The people around there that gave me paperwork and told me where to wait, were polite and helpful. The appointment with the consultant was really distressing, I couldn't ask questions and didn't discussed with me the plan, just set up steps without getting me involved on her treatment plan. This experience was very negative from what I expected when you go to a professional asking for advice and reviewing if your body is working well. The consultant is not on the list from next step: dr Anastasia Goumenou, gynecologist

Albion Dental : Brighton

Dentistry

My son needed to have two teeth extracted prior to being fitted with braces the following month. The dentist was extremely caring - especially as the procedure proved to be quite difficult due to the large roots of the teeth being pulled. It took an hour for the first tooth to finally come out - and the dentist recommended that a second appointment be made to minimise the amount of trauma caused extracting both teeth in one go. The appointment was made while the procedure was still ongoing - which was very efficient and was a relief for my son.

Mr Chukwuemeka Okaro

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I underwent a hysterectomy in December 2025 with Mr Okaro. The surgery was technically complex, and throughout the process he demonstrated outstanding expertise, professionalism, and clarity. He explained everything thoroughly and ensured I felt confident and well informed before surgery. Despite the complexity, the procedure went very well and my recovery has been smooth. Excellent post-operative care and follow-up. I would highly recommend Mr Okaro to anyone requiring complex gynaecological surgery.

Mr Ahmed Abdelmaksoud

Ophthalmologist

I researched Lazer eye surgery and asked specifically for Dr Ahmed Abdelmaksoud based upon his portfolio, knowledge and experience, luckily there was a last minute cancellation and I did get in with him. I feel like he has been excellent throughout the whole process he has explained everything with confidence and gave me confidence in the procedure and that it would be done to a high standard. The procedure itself he made me feel at ease and provided excellent aftercare. I would definitely recommend.

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I chose galaxy lenses for my cataract surgery and am now very happy with the results. No need whatsoever for any glasses. The staff were all very kind and supportive, along with Mr Hove the surgeon who was quick and efficient with the procedure. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of this procedure to not be anxious, it is quick and painless and though your vision is a little blurry after it doesn't take long to resolve. Thanks again to Mr Hove and all the staff at Freedom Vision Chelmsford.

Mr Ali Al Chami

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Ali Al Chami is a honest, hard-working, caring professional. He switched my stim and transfer protocol after several failed attempts elsewhere. When he first saw me, he didn’t make promises, but said we could try one more time in the hope of getting at least one good embryo to transfer - and it did work! He was the only consultant who switched protocols for me and found what ended up working! He has held my hand throughout the process and believed in my case even where I had almost lost hope.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

Neither I nor my wife visit Dr Johnstone very regularly but whenever we do one can be confident of good advice and a friendly reception. One of DrJohnstone's particular skills is that she can always put you in touch with an expert in his/her specialist field. Today we saw Dr J's temporary stand in. Once again- first class Peter B

City Dietitians

Dietitian

I had a video call. Frances was extremely helpful and understood the complexities of my many health conditions. I felt that I was given a practical plan to address some of the issues and I was given an outline of future steps which could be introduced at a later date. I felt extremely happy with the support and advice I received.

One Heart Clinic Harley Street

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology

Video consultation. Dr appeared on time, however the software was unable to make use of my mobile phone microphone, requiring the Dr to call me on the phone. This problem also occurred during my initial consultation with one of his colleagues a couple of weeks ago.
