The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

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.

Mr Anshul Sobti

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We were referred to Dr Sobti from another respected Orthopaedic surgeon and we couldn't have been more blessed to have found Dr Sobti. He was attentive, patient and knowledgeable from the 1st moment with my Daughter and made her feel at ease and confident that she would be treated well. He was thorough in his investigations and analysis of the test results. He was open, clear and very supportive once the diagnosis was provided and we felt very reassured he was considering all her needs, especially given her sporting life. Ally his assistant is also amazing. She worked hard do accommodate our schedules for appointments, was responsive and helpful at everything stage. Highly recommended.

No problems with check in or with the meeting with Mr Krkovic. However the hospital is showing signs of neglect. The loo in the corridor outside Trinity Suite had no paper towels and and a completely overflowed waste bin. The coffee machine in Trinity was broken in October and is still broken in January. The former quite serious, the latter not serious but to be not fixed over so many months suggests neglect and that always raises the possibility that things I can't see are also neglected. SIte management needs shake-up.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I am very happy with my first experience at the Practice today. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. It was so reassuring to be certain I was seeing an actual medically qualified person (uncertain in todays NHS) whose judgement therefore I felt I could trust. Dr Ridout was very understanding and approachable - an attentive listener, carried out an objective examination and was happy to discuss it together with why she was suggesting the proposed treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this Practice.

Mr Jonathan McFarlane

Urologist

My follow-up consultation went perfectly. I described some of the symptoms I had experienced following my operation, and how pleased I was with progress so far. Mr McFarlane explained clearly what might happen during the next 6 months, and also that the tests on my tissue eliminated any doubts I might have had about cancer. He made it very clear that I could contact him (or my GP) if there were any changes to my progress. I left the Bath Clinic feeling very reassured that I had been in safe hands throughout.

We paid £240 to the consultant and gained no extra knowledge or benefit. She basically couldn’t help because she said I needed fertility and not recurrent miscarriage. She said there was a fertility consultant there I should have booked with. Then why not offer to not charge me and book me with right person? Isn’t that what healthcare should be about rather than about taking my money? There is no triage service in place to make sure I got the right appointment. I feel robbed at a time where I am vulnerable.

Mr Ahmad Aziz

Ophthalmologist

Had an amazing experience very understanding very compassionate as a doctor sometimes you can feel very nervous around doctors but he always makes you feel like ease and the process is so easy and relaxing considering I don’t like needles I would highly recommend this Dr to anyone especially with anxiety or not too sure forward with anything to do with injection I would definitely recommend him good eye doctor and always leaves you with reassurance and confident before leaving the hospital. Thank you

Dr Saqib Chowdhary

Cardiologist

I have been seeing Dr Chowdhary for several years now - I have always found him to be clear and concise - he explains procedures and medications accurately, he is very thorough and is always willing to answer any questions or concerns I have. He is a very pleasant person and takes time to ensure you leave his consultation fully informed. I would highly recommend anyone with heart concerns making an appointment to see Dr Chowdhary.

Mr Iain Macleod

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Macleod was friendly and professional in dealing with my Dupuytren's contracture. The surgery was successful and I am steadily regaining strength and flexibility in my hand My surgery was done under regional anaesthetic so I was awake during the procedure. No problems or pain. He even asked what music I would like to hear whilst the surgery was proceeding. Very happy with the treatment and outcome.

Mr Prashant Purohit

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Purohit was excellent, he was very patient and sympathetic to my situation, he helped calm my nerves before and during the procedure, he explained my results in a clear manner and gave me the opportunity to ask any questions. The ladies on reception were also very friendly, I would definitely recommend the clinic and Dr Purohit for appointments/procedures.

Mr Vijaya Kempanna

From the staff the physio team, nurses and most of all Mr Kampanna can’t thank them enough.Its only 7 week since I had my op and already walking just with one stick. Well on the way to a full recovery thanks to these people. Mrs June J.

Dr Edward Cetti

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Cetti had reviewed my earlier scans so was able to pinpoint the issue with my breathing. After a week monitoring my peak flow I returned and he confirmed the diagnosis of asthma. I was very pleased the issue was sorted so quickly and he prescribed an inhaler and gave me clear advice about going forward. I am so grateful to him for his help.

I visited the Edinburgh practice for physiotherapy over a period of 2 months due to pain in my left knee. I had previously received osteopathy treatment here for my back following a fall on an icy pavement. I was greeted by the owner on arrival for my first appointment and was impressed with the premises and central location.

The Women's Health GP

Katie's professionalism and experience with managing women through the menopause what just what I desperately needed. She was thorough in her examination and diagnosis of my symptoms and very prompt with recommendations for next steps and creating a personalised and holistic treatment plan. I would fully recommend her.
