Newmedica Brigg

Ophthalmology

There was a lot of waiting for drops to take effect as part of the treatment but the fact that everytime one of the staff passed they acknowledged you so you didn't feel you had been forgotten, a big plus in my book. There were many times when my DOB and name were checked. This made me feel secure as I think it made me feel that any mix up was very unlikely, another plus in my book. During the set up for the operation I was asked to look into the very bright light. Not a problem for the eye being operated on but keeping my other eye open as requested was difficult for me. Perhaps some form of shading for the other eye could be provided so that the natural instinct to close that eye could be eliminated and thus the natural effect of doing that affecting the eye being operated on. During the operation the surgeon needed to speak to me at times. I am hard of hearing and didn't have my hearing aids in. At times it was hard to hear the surgeon. The issue was worse when the "pump" noise was going. Some of this was the fact that she was a lady with a higher pitch voice, whereas I could easily hear the male voice in the room. I have the same issue hearing my wife for the same reason (I claim!). Perhaps it would be good if the surgeon established if there is a hearing problem and if there is, the voice volume could be raised. I realise that this is my problem but I cannot be unique in this case given the age profile of you patients. This visit was my second eye so I knew what was happening. However, thinking back to my first visit perhaps a slightly better introduction could be given to new patients as to what to expect with the intervals between patient staff interactions to help limit any anxiety they may feel. Also a bit more information regarding the after effects of the operation could help and anxiety at that time. I realise you will wince at this but I found a YouTube video of american origin that went through the after effects step by step and this relieved me as I realised what was happening to me was normal. Overall I was very pleased with the atitude of all the staff I met and the service they provided. Thank you very much.

VISIO Health

Ophthalmology

WOW amazing! I have worn glasses since I was 16 (53 years), initially to see the blackboard! Recently my eyesight deteriorated due to cataracts and I was referred to Visio. I was very nervous about having the operation but in retrospect should not have worried, it really was not stressful. I had Trifocal Lenses fitted by Ms Ranjit Sandhu and would describe the result as amazing and transformational. I was hoping for my eyesight to return to my pre cataract vision, it did far more than this as I now have excellent unaided vision for distance as well as for near. I now have better vision than I have ever had before, and don’t need glasses anymore! I was advised before the operation that a side effect may be an increase in Halo & Glare when driving at night, however, I have not experienced this and am very comfortable with my night driving vision. In summary my vision has been transformed thanks to Visio and I would highly recommend them.

Dr. Derek Ho

Ophthalmologist

I am extremely happy that I chose Dr Derek Ho to perform my cataract surgery. He took his time to explain to me over the phone the different options and to make a recommendation when I asked him to. In the end I went with his suggestion of having a toric EMV lens in both eyes done at the same time. On the day of surgery he was very calm, polite and caring. His surgical skills are second to none. I felt reassured that I was in very experienced and capable hands. I could not believe that the treatment was completely pain free and smooth and easy. I could see very clearly after the operation straight away. Two days after the procedure I am totally amazed by how well I can see. I can now see better than I have ever been able to with glasses when I was younger. A truly transformative operation. I am so grateful to Dr Ho for what he has done for me. He is a great surgeon. Thank you so much Dr Ho!

Mr Asif Z Khan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My experience from my first consultation all the way through my surgery, to my follow up consultation after surgery, has been absolutely amazing. I have felt valued, understood and treated with the upmost respect. His friendly charismatic persona is calming, reassuring, while maintaining his professionalism. I have over the years had a number of consultations regarding surgical procedures and I can say without any doubt that this experience far surpasses any other experience. I have been fully informed throughout, leaving me without any need to ask further questions. Furthermore, his thoroughness, attention to detail in terms of ensuring I have understood is both refreshing and reinforcing for my understanding. Therefore in my opinion Mr Khan’s duty of care goes far above and beyond. I cannot say my praises enough and hope that what I have said reflects this.

Midlands Women's Health

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

My first visit was a very positive experience. The clinic was well presented, and I felt comfortable sitting in the waiting area prior to being called in. All staff members were polite, kind, and respectful during every interaction. When I entered the consultation room, I initially felt nervous; however, this quickly melted away as I was put at ease through warm and engaging conversation. I felt treated as a human being, not just a patient. The doctor ensured I was comfortable throughout the consultation and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. I am genuinely pleased with the outcome of the appointment, as I now have a better understanding of what is happening with my body and feel empowered to seek further support to improve my health and wellbeing. Once again Thank you!.🥰

Daleswood Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I booked a consultation with Daleswood Aesthetics online and attended to discuss one of their treatments (Emsella). The treatment was explained fully and I booked a course of six treatments. I have had two treatments so far and I am very impressed with the level of service and how professional all of the team are. They pay attention to detail and ensure your experience with them is outstanding. The treatment rooms are clean, modern and impressive. The treatments they offer are leading edge and deliver results. After two sessions, I am already seeing results. They have a large waiting room and a good size car park. They have thought of everything to make your visit as easy and welcoming as possible. I highly recommend Daleswood Aesthetics.

Harley Street Specialist Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dietitian, + 8 more

Hospital was dirty. Room was dirty. Was provided with a pillow that was fully stained yellow on one side with no pillow cover. One of the nurses saw it when he turned it over but I had already been lying on it for hours. Went to the surgery without any pillow only to wake up to another stained pillow without any cover. Found a toenail on the bed. Very unhygienic and was not comfortable. Staff were ok. Food received was not what I ordered, so left without eating anything. Will only be coming back for my second operation because it is the surgeons only practice that is close to where I live, otherwise would not be returning. Hygiene is most important in these environments and it was not to par at all. Worse than NHS.

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

I had an excellent experience under the care of Consultant Divya Mathews. She performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes with outstanding skill and precision. From the first consultation through to post-operative care, she was calm, reassuring, and very clear in her explanations, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. The results have been excellent, and my vision has improved significantly beyond my expectations. I am truly grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional eye care.

Mr Prabhakar Motkur

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Motkur treated me with absolute respect, care, and kindness every time I had to see him. He fully explained my condition and what was necessary to help me and the procedure he was going to undertake. Prior to my operation he spent time with me explaining what he was about to do and why it was necessary. I was left feeling confident, relaxed, and reassured that I was in safe hands. After the operation I had a full debrief with him and I left the hospital very happy. Thank you for the care and professionalism you have shown me Mr Motkur, it is very much appreciated.

Santis Health - Prostate Cancer Clinic

Urology

Prof Chris Eden was all that I had been led to believe, understanding and sympathetic but wholly focused and professional. He explained the process and outlined the risks of the proposed surgery in clear layman's language that I could understand.. He did not sugar the pill! He carefully reviewed my medical history and identified several issues upon which he has requested additional investigation. I came away totally confident not only in his personal ability but also in the decisions that I have now made regarding my treatment plan. First impressions are very good.

Miss Bethanie-Jayne Smith

Psychologist

Bethanie was great - very friendly, warm and engaging with Dulcie. She didn't make her feel daunted and very clearly explained what was going to happen but made it sound fun and interesting. She was patient and kind and recognised that if she asked Dulcie a question she didn't respond to, she should ask it in a different way. she was also very respectful in that she kindly asked me to try not to prompt Dulcie and allow her to answer and respond (which is a parents' natural reaction). I appreciated how diplomatically she approached this with me.

Mr Mahesh R Akula

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had been putting off the thought of spinal surgery for 20+ years. Other consultants didn't give me the feeling of confidence that Mr Akula does and he explained everything very well and was with me every step of the way. When faced with the prospect of having an incredibly painful Christmas, Mr Akula went above and beyond finding me a bed and anaesthetist Dr Kumar and they performed my spinal decompression surgery so I had a pain-free festive period. Thank you very much. Professional, friendly and respectful.

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.

Mr Girish Swamy

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The whole operation went extremely well. I was informed at all stages about the procedure and possible outcomes. All questions and concerns were listened to and answered thoroughly. Two week post op appointment went extremely well and Mr Swamy showed and clearly explained the x-rays and work he had carried out. Both Mr Swamy and myself were very pleased with the results meaning I am now pain free and looking forward to an active life! Mr Swamy was always very professional, friendly and reassuring.

Dr Kamlesh Mohan

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Mohan has taken time to explain everything to me clearly,honestly and in the most professional manner. He has gone our of his way to ensure I have been seen to quickly organising further tests quickly which meant I have not been left worrying about the outcome for longer that necessary. He has guided me clearly through every process at every stage. He has shown empathy and I can't thank him enough for the way he has dealt with me. A true example of the way the health service should be.
