Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Griffiths was extremely informative during the initial consultation and very responsive to my questions which made it easy for me to make the decision to go ahead with the hip replacement and the type to go for with minimum invasive surgery. He instilled confidence from the outset. The only aspect which caused me some degree of anxiety was not knowing what type of anaesthesia to choose for the procedure, until just before the operation ( the first in my medical history). JG had indeed advised that this would be the case but, during the months leading up to the op, I spoke with a number of friends/relations who relayed a range of experiences and a number giving their advice. A few had had GA and more went the local epidural route, although one of the latter had experienced far too much consciousness in terms of what was going on. I had read up about both and the various pros and cons ( info provided very helpful in this regard) and came along on the day with an open mind to confer with the anaesthetist, complete with my music and earphones if needed. In fact, after speaking with him it was easy to choose to go the local anaesthesia route and he put my mind at rest that he could sedate me so that I would not be aware of the procedure. I never finished listening to the first track of my music playlist ( I made sure I didn't have it on shuffle - my younger brother did for his hip replacement only to randomly get the track "the first cut is the deepest" to listen to at the start!!) I came round in recovery and all was complete. In some ways I would have liked to have had an early discussion with the anaesthetist so that I had made my decision ahead of the procedure rather than pondering it for so long. However that is a small negative compared to the outcome of the hip replacement with which I am extremely pleased. I had no leg swelling to speak of, very manageable pain, off crutches in 10 days and yesterday after 6 weeks walked some 11km mostly cross country. ( Walking distance had been the major problem instigating my hip replacement as that/hiking is an important part of my life). This has far exceeded my expectations and I am looking forwards to getting back on the tennis doubles court after a further 6 weeks of exercising and physio. If and when the other hip needs doing, I would have no hesitation in returning to Mr Griffiths again. Many thanks to him and the team.

Mr Manoj Sood

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Throughout my treatment, from the initial consultation to the operation and follow up appointments Mr Sood has provided a “gold star” service. At the initial consultation he explained the procedure thoroughly and I was encouraged to give thought as to whether or not I wished to proceed with a full hip replacement. Following my agreement to proceed I was swiftly kept informed, stage by stage of developments prior to the operation. On admission day Mr Sood visited me once again ensure I was happy to proceed. The day went very smoothly and I felt relaxed and in extremely capable hands. At post-op appointments he has clearly explained any questions I had and encouraged me with the progress I have been making. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone who is considering hip replacement to seek Mr Sood advice and help.

Mrs Ami Shukla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Ami Shukla is the first gynaecologist who listened to me and understood my concerns and worries. I left feeling reassured that my issues will now be looked at properly. Before seeing Ms Shukla I was feeling really lost I found GP's don't really understand womens health. I was previously put on antidepressants and was told that I was feeling a certain type of way because this was all in my head and this was put down to mental health when in realitiy my HRT needed looking at. The HRT was not quite right which is why I booked into see Ami Shukla who has now put my mind at ease and is helping me with my women issues. I highly recommend Ms Shukla to everyone.

Dr Koon Chan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am incredibly grateful for the care I received during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, Chan was knowledgeable, and reassuring, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer my questions. I felt genuinely listened to and supported, even during stressful moments. His expertise and calm approach gave me confidence throughout my pregnancy, and I truly felt I was in the best possible hands. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend Chan to anyone, especially those facing a high-risk or complex pregnancy.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Medical Weight Loss, Pharmacy

On my order I specifically asked for CAPSULES of paracetamol not Tablets. The turn around was quick but I realized when receiving 3 boxes of tablets no care had been taken to check the medecine. When I asked for a return label they asked for photos and description of the packaging of which I cant do . I'm over 90 and not familiar with taking photos and being a simple mistake in product I didn't understand. I will never use these people again and wil never recommend them. My order #

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Cardiology, + 8 more

Excellent communication, quick access to the appointment, and a very smooth overall experience. The colonoscopy preparation was clear and straightforward, and the procedure itself was handled with great professionalism and care. Dr. Mallick and the entire clinical team were extremely attentive, friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience very reassuring. I felt well informed, supported and genuinely looked after throughout.

Mr Steven Harsum

Ophthalmologist

Mr Harsum took great care and spent time discussing the likely outcome of my cataract operations in terms of the impact on my vision in general. He also gave me several pointers towards avoiding any further deterioration in my eyesight due to macular degeneration, which was over and above the expected benefits of the actual cataract operations. I now have excellent distant vision restored and confidence about the future.

Ms Miriam Kate Green

Physiotherapist

Miriam was so professional and informative, I felt very comfortable during the whole appointment. I initially went in not knowing how to navigate my way through postpartum feeling very disconnected from my body after my emergency c section. Now thanks to Miriam I have the answers to why I feel disconnected and a plan how to get back to me feel like me again. Thank you so much

Mr Masood Shafafy

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shafafy explained the options carefully and in detail. The procedure he performed did what he said it would although, sadly, that only reduced my symptoms rather than removing them altogether. He explained clearly that there were few other, realistic, options for treatment unless my condition worsens quite considerably. Overall, a very professional encounter.

Private GP Extra

General Practice (GP)

Dr Simon gave me a thorough explanation of my condition and any risks associated with it. He carried out all required tests and called to chat through my blood test results and to make any recommendations. Through Dr Simon’s clear explanations I’m now far more reassured about the condition, and how to deal with future occurrences. Many thanks.

Has a great experience. Was an indeoth cgst about my hormone history and very fast blood resets and only in a few days had them back and an appointment to chat through. There was an immediate red flag and in a few days had the right medication and started to feel better in only a few days. Also check up texts which made me feel so supported

Professor Samer Humadi

I had a gastric bypass in May 2025, everything went well with the operation. From the very first consultation I was put at ease by Professor Humadi with his friendly and relaxed manner. He was very professional and explained the procedure extremely well . Aftercare was superb and have been totally impressed by the whole experience

One Stop Healthcare

Pain Management, Breast Surgery, + 47 more

I recommend a private appointment. Instead of a rushed NHS 10 minute experience, the doctor spends 30 minutes understanding symptoms and background. Dr Hamdulay was very thorough, professional and friendly. He gave me very helpful advice and the medication I needed to make a full recovery. Highly recommend OSD Healthcare.

HMT Sancta Maria Hospital

General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, + 19 more

I was seen by Mr Andrew Bebbington at very short notice and had my carpal tunnel surgery done shortly after. I just want to say how good my experience was and what a success the decompression has been. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both the hospital and Mr Bebbington to anyone needing orthopaedic surgery.
