Spire Elland Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 2 more

Overall, Spire Elland was great and I would happily return should I require any further procedures in the future. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and everything is very clean. I think the main thing letting the hospital down is patient communication. All appointments and comms are recorded and delivered via an app. If you don't want to or aren't able to download the app (like me), you do end up being left a little in the dark about things. For example, I had been given a surgery date fairly soon after my initial consultation, which was great, however I hadn't been informed that there would be multiple pre-operative assessment appointments to attend - all of which were on-site at Spire Elland, which is around an hour's drive for us. On one occasion, I had to make last-minute arrangements to move clients around as I'd been unaware of an upcoming appointment - I'd received no email, no text, no phone call, no letter. I just so happened to log in to my online portal and find the appointment date there. I moved clients around so I could attend, and just a couple of days before my appointment received a text message to say the date had changed, with no explanation provided. I called to try and find out why this might be, but was met with a dismissive reply of, "We just had to move it". All of the documents outlining the process for my surgery and the prep I should do beforehand were provided online, and the online portal isn't the simplest to navigate, so accessing them wasn't as easy as it could have been. When I was admitted for my day surgery, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, although I did find that I received a blunt reply whenever I asked a question about anything. This was my first ever surgery and my first time being put under general anaesthetic, so naturally I was quite nervous. Some of the members of staff were very helpful and supportive, but others seemed to have little patience, which wasn't ideal and only served to make me more anxious. When I came to after the surgery, I had been expecting to have a bit of a handover with someone so I could at least find out how it had gone and what they had/hadn't found. Unfortunately, Mr Gan was occupied in another surgery, and so I was discharged before having the chance to speak to him. I asked the nurses for some clarification - any brief notes or insights they might be able to give to put my mind at ease a bit until I could speak with Mr Gan - but this was met with quite curt replies. I was told no one could read Mr Gan's handwriting so no one could tell me any information, which at the time was quite frustrating as I'd been dealing with the pain for so long and had viewed the laparoscopy as the light at the end of the tunnel. It was disheartening to leave the hospital without any real clarification of the issue. Now having had my final follow-up with Mr Gan, I can say with confidence that all of my questions have been answered, and I feel validated and supported as a patient. However, I can't help but feel that had the communication from the hospital team been a little better throughout the process, it wouldn't have been so frustrating to wake up after the surgery and find that no one could tell me how it had gone.

UK Vein Clinic - Harley Street

Vascular Surgery

Since the moment I entered the clinic I was very well taken care of. The friendliness of the staff made all potential stress go away in seconds. The procedure itself was almost pain free and if any pain was felt that was similar to when one has their blood test done. My treatment was both radiofrequency ablation as well as foam sclerotherapy on both legs. It was done literally in a flash while having a friendly relaxing chat with doctor and nurses. I was shocked when I was informed the treatment was already completed. I have been instructed about the aftercare as a reminder as I had received many emails before the treatment explaining all stages including recovery. Then I simply got out of the clinic and had a walk around the city with my husband who was also amazed how quickly it all went. Their aftercare is spot on too and you can get in touch any time you might feel concerned. It is now my fourth day after the treatment and I feel great and I am so happy that all nasty vericose veins I had are gone. I would and will recommend the clinic and the treatment to anyone struggling with vericose veins issues. Milena

The communication from Skylignt is poor. My final report stated I did not complete 2 of the questionnaires, which I did, as I saved copies of my answers in case technology failed. Nobody chased these missing questionnaires and the response time when I did contact the admin team was 15 working days each time. All of the timescales I was told from start to finish were very inaccurate. Some of these timescales are still on the website. From referral to acknowledgement I was informed 6-8 weeks and it was 9 weeks. From acknowledgement/forms to initial appointment I was informed 8-12 weeks and waited 16 weeks. From assessment to report I was told 8-10 weeks and it was 14 weeks. I have been told 9 months from October until medication titration, but I can’t trust that this timescale is accurate. The staff are very friendly and helpful and brilliant when you do have an interaction with them, but the volume of work must be beyond current capacity to provide such inaccurate information to patients who are seeking support/diagnosis for a condition that requires accuracy and creates a high level of anxiety.

St Joseph’s Hospital

I had a meniscal tear repair on 20th January. I am really disappointed and dismayed with the conflicting advice I was given regarding physiotherapy. An hour prior to surgery, Brad the physio told me I would be fully weight bearing after the operation. After the surgery a different physio told me I could not weight bear for three weeks and had me up and about practising walking on crutches. She also put a leg brace on my leg which was locked. I wasn't told to unlock it. Therefore for 2 weeks post surgery I wasn't weight bearing and movement in my knee was restricted totally. Today I had my stitches out and my first physio session. Physio told me I should have been 50% weight bearing straight away and that my leg brace should have been unlocked to allow some movement. So three conflicting pieces of advice. I am really unhappy.

Mr Paul Erotocritou

Urologist

Mr Erotocritou is a very friendly consultant, who made me feel very at ease and reassured that he will help me. He was very clear in his explanations and covered all bases in investigating my issues. I didn't feel rushed in the consultants and he actually listened to me and took the time to answer all my questions. I felt he looked at me as a valued person rather than another patient. I am very happy with my consultations and tests taken. Thankfully I do not need further investigations or treatment, but I would definitely go back to Mr Erotocritou if I needed to in the future. He was easy to understand and calm, someone you could tell about your difficulties. I felt very understood and nothing was too difficult to talk about.

Dr Adam Friedmann

Dermatologist

We’re very grateful to Dr Friedmann for treating our older child’s severe eczema. Symptoms started at around 4 months old, but the initial treatments we received elsewhere were ineffective and the condition became severe. It took a long time to control until we eventually saw Dr Friedman. His assessment was clear, the plan was practical, and—most importantly—it worked. After a long, stressful period, our child’s eczema finally came under control. It’s very clear that Dr Friedmann’s primary goal is effective treatment and real outcomes, not just short-term symptom relief. We fully trust his clinical judgement, skills, and practice, and we highly recommend him.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Mr Riaz. From the very first consultation he was professional, reassuring, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which instantly put me at ease. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the care I received throughout was excellent. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results of my breast enlargement — they look amazing and very natural, exactly what I hoped for. Mr Riaz’s skill, professionalism, and attention to detail really show in his work. I’m so grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Fiona Vij

Emergency Medicine Doctor, General Practitioner

I would definitely recommend Dr Vij. The consultation with her was pleasant yet thorough. It was clear that she had read my history and was (painlessly!) able to lead our discussion to fill in any blanks. She managed to elicit and clarify my aims and expectations for the consultation, and then set out to fulfil them in a professional and courteous manner. After the consultation, her analysis and response was, again, thorough, professional and easy to understand, with clear identification of possible next steps.

Mr Onur Berber

Orthopaedic Surgeon

10/10, Amazing. If every doctor was as thorough and sincere as Dr Onur Berber the world would be a better place and healthcare would definitely be better. I recommend him. greatly. Brilliant doctor with amazing knowledge. Also his medical secretary Chloe Aitken was outstanding. She always went above and beyond to help organise and make. sure I received treatment. Thank you so much Dr Onur Berber and Chloe Aitken for all the help and effort during a difficult time. I couldn't recommend more. Thank you!

Mr Matthew Liew

Urologist

The Holep procedure carried out by Matthew Liew has been a complete success. From suffering with urinary hesitation and retention I am now able to lead a completely normal life only needing to visit the toilet every 2 to 3 hours. Within 6 weeks of surgery I was urinating freely with no hesitation and the fear of searching out toilet facilities gone completely. The whole surgical experience from initial consultation to post operative appointments has been exemplary.

Dr Jacques is amazing. She is so friendly and makes you feel at ease straight away. She has great knowledge about the menopause and explores all the options to make sure she finds the perfect solution. For me she has changed my life considerably, I feel so much better in myself and I personally couldn’t have asked for a better service. Would highly recommend.

Montrose Health Group

A reallt fantastic service so far. We've been looking into private assessments for my son and it was expensive with long wait times every where we researched. Montrose were in touch within two days of my enquiry and we were triaged a week later. They respond quickly to communication, and warm and friendly and have been supportive of us at every step.

Dr. Nekma Meah

Dermatologist

Dr Meah was compassionate and made me feel listened to. She gave me several options in terms of further investigations and possible treatment, so I felt like I had agency and control. And what's more, having started treatment and seen a huge improvement, I think Dr Meah's suggested diagnosis was spot on.

Mr Quen Tang

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This was my last appointment on my journey of a shoulder replacement. Throughout mr Tang has been an excellent and professional surgeon. Mr Tang talked me through the procedure explaining how everything would happen. Mr Tang and his team have excellent and I am delighted with the outcome.,

Mr Kumar Reddy

This follow up appointment was to assess my recovery from hip replacement surgery. Mr Reddy took me through some questions and reviewed my before and after x-rays. I no longer suffer any pain and I am able to walk without crutches, so overall a very satisfactory outcome..
