In August 2025, due to the long delays at Luton and Dunstable, they offered for me to be seen as an NHS patient at One Stop (OSD) Clinic at Hemel Hempstead, where I was seen by Dr Mittel. Following a consultation, he advised that I be referred back to L&D for a hysterectomy (he could not do overnight procedures at his clinic) and prescribed Ryeqo, a medication that suppresses ovarian function and includes HRT. However, I was not provided with a NHS prescription for Ryeqo, as Dr Mittel did not have the necessary NHS prescription pad and advised that it must come from an NHS consultant. I have since discovered that my GP is unable to prescribe Ryeqo and that this must indeed be handled by a hospital consultant. I am unable to afford this medication privately, as it costs approximately £100 per month. With no consultant to prescribe the medication on the NHS, I am therefore left without treatment and unclear as to whether I am even on the waiting list for a hysterectomy. To add to my distress, my interactions with Dr Mittel have been upsetting. During our initial consultation, when I asked about potential side effects of Ryeqo, he responded inappropriately by laughing and comparing the risks to getting on a bus or plane. He failed to explain that only a consultant could prescribe the medication on the NHS, and I had to research this information myself. He also failed to talk me through any of the potential side effects which again I have now researched myself. At a subsequent appointment for a hysteroscopy, when I attempted to raise my concerns about still not being able to get the NHS Ryeqo prescription (as advised by his secretary), he dismissed the issue, saying it was not the right time to discuss it. Instead, he began venting his frustrations about NHS inefficiencies and his personal issues with parking as a consultant. This unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour left me extremely upset and in tears just prior to undergoing the procedure. Although he later apologised, stating he was “stressed,” this is not the level of care I expect or deserve as a patient and I wonder if I was his private patient as opposed to an NHS patient his manner would have been the same.

A Life-Changing Experience – Thank You My wife is 62 years old and has battled alcoholism for 27 years. She had been to rehab three times before, but this time was different. After losing her mother – her last remaining close relative – she turned to alcohol once again, retreating from the world in her grief. As a family, we were at breaking point. In a desperate effort to keep a promise to her late mother, I kept her at home until the funeral so she could attend sober. It was one of the hardest challenges I’ve ever faced, but I managed it. Sadly, after the funeral, the drinking returned and we lost her to the bottle once more. When a small inheritance came through, I decided to try again. From the very first conversation, they understood exactly what we were going through. They acted quickly, knowing how critical timing is — when an addict asks for help, you must act immediately before the addiction takes over again. Addiction is not just the addict’s disease — it affects the whole family. They supported all of us, not just my wife. It’s now been four months, and I see a change in her I have never seen before. She is beginning to embrace sobriety in a genuine, lasting way. She speaks openly when she feels low or has a difficult day, instead of turning to the bottle. That openness has been life-changing for the whole family. I will always be grateful for their understanding, dedication, and wisdom. They didn’t just help my wife — they helped give our family hope again.

I am deeply concerned with Dr Murray’s assessment of my medical history and his reluctance to understand the fact that mast cell activation syndrome has particular effect of lungs and bronchial functions. Dr Murray advice yesterday was that I have to fo to physio therapy to learn how to breath. I will obviously follow this advice and then in times of crisis when I will not be able to breath properly, have urticaria and swelling I will have to follow Dr Murrray advice and breath in and out. Dr Murray said that I am wheezing from larynx. You can ask Dr Pattle when I came to see her in spring I was covered all over in urticaria and I was wheezing. I do not think that Dr Murray is working won a regular basis with patients like myself and maybe its best if he cont help to say that he can’t help instead of saying that I do not have a problem with breathing when I have. I sent him several letters from various specialists yesterday. Maybe he shud read them before jumping into incorrect conclusions

The Vesey Private Hospital

Dermatology, Cardiology, + 11 more

I was a little nervous about visiting the clinic as I had never been to a private practice before, but my experience was excellent from start to finish. The receptionist was very approachable and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease when I arrived. The health practitioner who saw me was calm, professional, and attentive. He took the time to discuss my previous health conditions and was able to pinpoint some of my concerns while offering clear, helpful advice. The health assessment itself was quick but thorough, and I felt reassured throughout. What impressed me most was how well everything was explained, from accessing my results to the range of other services available, including mental health support. I was also given practical guidance on how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Overall, I left feeling very reassured and impressed by the high standard of care. The atmosphere was relaxed, the staff were supportive, and I would definitely recommend this hospital to others.

Urban TRT

Endocrinology & Diabetes

From the moment I contacted the clinic, I was dealt with in such a professional, caring way that I was instantly put at ease and filled with confidence. An appointment with Dr Airey was organised promptly following blood test results, and a treatment plan was put together. My treatment plan was personalised for my symptoms and results, and each blood marker was discussed in length. Any question that I asked was answered in such a way that I was left feeling confident and assured that I was in the right place. Fast forward 2 months since treatment began - I feel like a new man. I genuinely have my life back thanks to Urban TRT and the team. I look forward to continuing my treatment. If you are on the fence about which clinic to choose, honestly, look no further. Urban TRT has my backing 1000%.

I would highly rate the care that I was given throughout my time in the hospital and I would like to commend the nursing staff in particular, however I have one major issue which has left me very dissastisfied. During my first appointment I was told that I needed the socket of my hip replaced and was given a price for that procedure. Then I met with another doctor who said that said if the whole hip needed replaced it would cost considerably more and quoted a price up to £12000 more if this work needed to be done. It was confirmed after the operation that I only needed the socket replaced but was charged the price quoted for a full hip replacement without any explanation. I would like to hear from someone about resolving this issue.

Dr Luke Tyson

Gastroenterologist

During my time under Dr. Tyson’s care, I experienced a level of professionalism and compassion that far exceeded my expectations. His ability to convey complex medical information in a clear, concise, and easily digestible way was incredibly reassuring. Every explanation was thorough yet accessible, reflecting not only his vast expertise but also his genuine commitment to patient understanding. What stood out most was how cared for and respected I felt throughout the entire experience. He was professional and approachable—never rushed and consistently kind. I’m deeply grateful for the quality of care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Tyson.

Dr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos is an excellent thoracic surgeon. Totally comfortable with his skills, communication and bedside manners. I thank him, his team and all the nursing staff who cared for me during my recent thymus surgery, pre and post surgery visits. The warm and clean hospital environment, the friendly lobby and check in staff are fabulous too! Everything was seamless and efficient. Keep up the great work and I wish other hospitals, medical and non medical staff can learn from you to give the best care to their patients. Very grateful 🙏 I am recovering well. Blessings Joanne

Car parking can be a problem. There are some local side streets with the odd space or Sainsbury is about a 20 minute walk, think you get about 3 hours. I had my operation on a Saturday and the place seemed very quiet and peaceful, one member of staff said it's more chaotic in the week. Parking was easy at 7.30am on Saturday but I had been dropped off anyway. There are buses that stop nearby from Macclesfield bus station but I haven't tried them. It's lovely to have your own room, particularly if you're a very sensitive person. The staff on the whole treat you with respect.

Dr Muhammad Nadeem Iftikhar

Gastroenterologist

My appointment with Mr Iftikhar today was very satisfactory. I was seen within 10 minutes of my appointment time which is very acceptable as I understand that previous opponents can overrun. Mr Iftikhar introduced his medical student, Erin, and explained why she was there. The feedback from Mr Iftikhar was fairly brief as he confirmed that my condition was good and stable. He confirmed that a routine US scan would be booked for January next year. Erin then carried out an examination of my abdomen. Throughout my appointment I was treated with care and respect.

Mr Nicholas Hodgins

Plastic Surgeon

I was very happy with all aspects of my appointments, procedure and follow-up. I felt very confident in Mr Hodgkins’s care from start to finish. For me, making the initial consultation was a very vulnerable experience but Mr Hodgkins was respectful and sensitive in all aspects of my care and this made the experience much easier for me. I am 10 weeks post op. and I am delighted with the outcome. An added benefit is that getting this procedure done has spurred me on to improve my overall health and fitness.

Miss Sarah Little

ENT Surgeon

The whole experience has has been amazing, I was really nervous at my initial consultation but Miss Little put me at ease straight away and all the way through the process she was amazing , I was staying at a local hotel after my surgery and she knew I was alone and she call me the evening after to see if I was ok, that was above and beyond and it meant the world to me, Miss Little is not just a fantastic surgeon she is also an amazing and caring human being, also her staff were all fantastic

Dr Mohamed Otify

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I found Dr Otify exceptional, great manner, great explanations and clear information to allow me to make a decision. The latter I think is critical given the requirements of doctors around 'informed consent'. I have had experiences in the past where I've felt pressured to make a decision that I don't fully understand (as a none medic). Dr Otify made me feel very comfortable in making the right decision for me, without feeling at any point uncomfortable or unclear on what my decisions meant.

Professor Yogesh Bajaj

ENT Surgeon

My experience with Professor Yogesh Bajaj has been excellent. He carried our thorough examinations and ensured that nothing was missed. I had an MRI scan and allergy testing. His bedside manner is second to none, he is polite, friendly and puts you at ease. He had a copy of my results and letter ready for me and went through all the results in a way that I could understand. I cannot praise him enough.

Professor Neil Ruparelia

Cardiologist

Professor Neil Ruparelia's bedside manner was impeccable throughout my visit. He was professional, polite, extremely prompt, and incredibly knowledgeable, pretty much everything you could ask for in a doctor. I felt completely at ease and confident in his care. I shall definitely be returning to this clinic again and highly recommend him to others!
