I have recently had a hysterectomy performed by Professor Bunkheila. The operation was a great success and I cannot thank the Professor enough for his compassion and care from my initial appointment through to the post op consultation. Professor Bunkheila was the nicest gentleman to deal with, listened to all my concerns and was reassuring and professional when discussing all the pros and cons to having such a procedure. His kind, caring manner made me feel so comfortable and after many years of extreme pain and debilitating medical conditions, I felt finally that someone was actually listening to me and could make a difference. I was very poorly at my initial consultation and now feel 100% recovered and it has been truly life changing. Professor Bunkheila and his medical team of anaesthetists were wonderful on the two occasions of my surgery as I was very nervous, but both times they were so reassuring. All the staff were very kind and efficient, my personal ward room was clean and the catering was very good. I would also like to thank a particular gentleman called Anil who performed my pre operative assessment blood tests, I am very needle phobic and was terrified but he ensured that it was done swiftly and with such kindness towards me, I was so grateful.

Mr James Holton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Everything was made Clear and scan and xrays all shown and explained to me. I was shown the before and after the surgery. I could see the partial replacement all very interesting to me. It was explained to me that it could take a long time to settle down. The discomfort I have at this present time will heal, all in good time. Thanks to Mr Holton I will soon be back to walking pain free in a little while, which i am looking forward to that. Thank you Mr Holton and your fantastic team. The day team of nurses where lovely and many thanks to them all so very caring and were there for what ever care you needed. I'm afraid the night staff of nurses left a lot to be desired in the lack of care and understanding of the patients needs. The matron and her manager did come and talk to each of us on the ward also the men's wards made complaints also. It wasn't a very pleasant night for quite a few of us by what we heard. As for Mr Holton and his team and the day time nurses all brilliant many many thanks to you all for all your help in making my walking so much better.

Mr Ronan Banim

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Banim did my right total hip replacement on the 24th November 2025. From the initial appointment until my follow up appointment at 6 weeks the service he provided has been exemplary. All procedures were explained to me before they were carried out and I was given lots of opportunities to ask questions. My right leg used to turn out (as far as 3 on a clock). Immediately after the surgery my leg and foot was back in the midline and all pre operative symptoms were resolved. The care I received by all members of the Nuffield team (Chester), including admin staff, catering staff, nurses, doctors and physiotherapists was of the highest standard and I felt safe and cared for at all times. Thank you all. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Banim as an excellent orthopaedic surgeon and the Nuffield team as an whole for the great job they are doing. I will be back for my left hip done (hopefully not for a while yet!). Thanks again.

Mr Marc Laniado

Urologist

My PSA had been creeping up for several years. By December 2024 it was 6.2 and a scan showed a tumour close to the edge of my prostate. Marc Laniado recommended a day case procedure (nanoknife) and I had this in January 2025. Twelve months later, in January 2026, my PSA is 0.3 and a scan shows no evidence of cancer. Marc is one of the most professional people I have met - everything is explained patiently and thoroughly, he is available at short notice to talk through any concerns/answer any questions, appointments are on time and his follow-up letters come the same day and clearly explain what he has done and the next steps. I would like to thank Marc Laniado and the highly efficient team he works with for the outstanding care I received - anyone of any age (I'm 82) concerned about their prostate would benefit from a​ consultation with him.

Dr. Matthew Brown

Pain Management Specialist

I was very impressed by the clarity, structure and details of the summary of my first appointment. It was the most professional summary of a medical meeting that I have read in any hospital. What particularly impressed me was that it set out precisely how this first session had been designed to "break me in" by conducting it in a chair instead of more formally lying down and with fewer needles than subsequently. Mr Brown cleverly interspersed medical questions with some remarks about Somerset. This limited distraction was vital to me as I am chronically needle phobic. In this way, by partly taking my mind off what might have been an ordeal, Mr Brown ensured that I underwent no strains, mental or physical, from the treatment.

LDN PHYSIO | Hackney

Physiotherapy

Sarah is a super friendly and helpful physiotherapist. She designs my plan, demonstrating and then watching me do the exercises to ensure I am doing them correctly. She also determines the correct weight for each exercise which I would not have had any idea about. My lower back sciatic type pain is improving as is my strength. The MoveHealth App is excellent and I can log my progress there and see videos of each exercise to check between reviews I am doing them correctly. The location is perfect for me and each review session has been helpful for my progress. There is no pressure to have a review - only when it seems appropriate. Very happy and grateful for Sarah's expertise and guidance.

Mr Abdul Kasem

Breast Surgeon

Mr Kasem was very kind, made me feel confident I was going to have my scans and then he would give me a clear outcome that I would understand. He took the time, without me even asking, to explain the mammogram I had last week, what they had seen and how the scoring system worked. He then told me exactly what would happen today at the appointment and he specifically asked my consent to examine me, and again before he carried out the examination itself. He checked with me if I had any questions at the end of both the before and after consultations. Honestly, I could not think of a single thing that could have been better, I felt he was incredibly respectful and thoughtful as a doctor.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

My recent visit was for a crown fitting and work on the gums. I saw Dr Balawal . I have had a number of appointments with him. He explains what he is doing and, he takes care to ensure the patient is not experiencing any discomfort. I have always understood, and been pleased with, his treatment. He presents as a very competent, conscientious dentist. The reception staff are all polite, helpful and friendly. I am so pleased that I contacted Quality Dental. I have taken out a dental plan and will continue to attend this surgery. I don't know what the other dentists in the practice are like, but I can certainly recommend Dr Balawal.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I had a online assessment, I was seen by Wioleta Cholewinska. She was really lovely, welcoming and put me at ease. She made me feel comfortable and was understanding and listened very well. The longest waiting part was from filling out the forms to the assessment, but even tho this was a wait, I was expecting it to be a lot longer than it was so that’s great. The actual booking of my assessment was super quick and easy. They sent me a date and time that was for an appointment within 14days of them sending me the appointment details. I’ve heard this can be a lot longer elsewhere so I was surprised about this in a good way.

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

My overall experience at the clinic was exceptional. When I first booked my appointment it was scheduled for a week later, but I asked whether there might be any cancellations before then. The team were incredibly helpful and thoughtful — they called me back and arranged for me to be seen the very same day. From start to finish, the service was efficient, compassionate, and reassuring. At what was a very anxious time for me, everyone I dealt with was kind, responsive, and professional. I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout my visit, and I am extremely grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Matrix Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology

It is a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Each patient (and accompanying person) seemed to have a good interaction with the staff. There was a good discussion with Mr. Smith on the situation with respect to the eyes and possible treatments which may also need to be done elsewhere. He listened to my comments and questions and responded in a clear way. During the treatment care was taken to warn me of any possible pressure on the face, but Mr. Smith has a light touch so there was never any problem. All three treatments in 2025 were done very well.

Dr Antonis Pavlidis

Cardiologist

Dr Pavlidis saw me as I am in my late 50's and have high cholesterol levels and have done for many years, although my diet is good and I exercise regularly. He recommended that I started taking statins. I was sceptical of this at first, however, Dr Pavlidis made a logical and compelling case for doing so, which made absolute common sense. I have been on statins now for around 4 months, have had no adverse side effects, and my cholesterol levels have reduced significantly. It's one tiny pill a day but it could extend my life.

Mr Stuart Gould

General Surgeon

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Mr Stuart Gould at the Clementine Churchill hospital. I’m a week post op. I am healing well. I cannot thank Mr Gould and all of the staff and nurses that looked after me at the hospital. Operation was a success. The hospital it self is so well managed. A big thanks again to all staff again. Special thanks to Mr Gould he is absolutely fantastic and such a kind person. Very comforting and good at explaining everything. I cannot recommend Mr Gould enough thank you!!

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

Anaesthetics, Cardiology, + 10 more

Extremely happy with the service, care and everyone's attentiveness at the Cleveland Clinic. My initial consultation was with Dr Chetan Bhan. He was patient, friendly and made an effort to understand the symptoms I have been experiencing for some time. He quickly assigned my case to Dr Mark Samaan and appointments allocated swiftly too. I came away feeling reassured by that the Cleveland Clinic would be able to help. Also, the clinic is well kept, clean and comfortable. That is a massive plus too!

Harley Street Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

I was welcome by the receptionist. I saw George Dashfield, Audiologist . George made me feel comfortable and relaxed. He carried out my balance testing explaining each one in detail which I really appreciated. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my queries . He was so thorough and guided me throughout the examinations. His manner is impeccable . By far one of the nicest professional I have come crossed in some time. Would definately recommend this service to others. Thank you.

Mr Pantelis Tsantanis

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was very grateful to Mr Tsantanis for seeing me. He explained the procedure very clearly and was approachable and friendly to any questions. I have been in awful pain and unable to be seen quicker on NHS. Have been waiting some time for appointment. He is a lovely Doctor and I would not hesitate in recommending him. Thank you so much.
