Wessex Cardiology

Cardiology

Recently wanted an MOT to check that my heart was all fine due to having a HA at a young age. I had an ECG and a Stress Echogram procedure prior to my consultation with Mr Wilkinson. I requested to see Mr Wilkinson, as it was him who performed emergency stent procedures on me 14 years ago, and it was really great to see him again after all these years. Mr Wilkinson is top of his field and a very lovely guy. The nurse who performed my tests was really professional and friendly and very helpful. My consultation went very well and put my mind at ease. I went private as I wanted some Piece of mind and the NHS only deal with reactive situations (IE heart attack) and are not interested in supporting people years after treatments unless you have a serious issue. I can 100% recommend anyone looking to book private consultation / tests via Spite hospital. I only have one major gripe… they no longer, and for some time do not take a credit card payment (no longer use a card machine) the reasons were explained, as you can only do a BACS transfer now. I find this very unhelpful and this should be reinstated. If you have lots of spare cash around to complicate then this will not be a problem for you, but for people who use this service and it’s an extra expense, it’s more difficult. I would use Spite more if a credit card service was available.

Dr Arif Aslam

Dermatologist

When my BCC diagnosis was confirmed, it was very scary and I wondered how things would progress and what outcome could be achieved. The first stage was to research the options. The main one being to identify the best procedure and the best surgeon. MOHS surgery came out as the best option for success, in terms of reoccurrence and the overall cosmetic appearance. Dr Aslam topped the list to perform this surgery. The initial consultation with Dr Aslam proved I had made the right choice. From the very start I felt confident and reassured. On the day of the surgery I was naturally very nervous. However, Dr Aslam and his excellent team helped considerably to reduce any tension. The whole team, Lisa, Gina and Sheila made conversation throughout the surgery and as such it was possible to have a couple of laughs. Don’t be afraid about being awake. The results? Well I could not be more pleased. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and to say I am pleased is an understatement. I am genuinely thrilled. My second “follow up” appointment was today (3 weeks after surgery) and Dr Aslam is equally thrilled. I can’t finish this review without mentioning Claire, the very efficient and helpful secretary to Dr Aslam. Please be in no doubt that choosing Dr Aslam and his team will, in my opinion be the best choice you can make. Terese

Professor Richard Field

Orthopaedic Surgeon

As a 41-year-old woman, I was advised by several surgeons to wait until I was older before considering a total hip replacement. But I know my body, and the pain had reached a point where it was clearly affecting my quality of life at an age when I want to stay active. I was struggling to sleep at night, and even something as simple as sitting through a film at the cinema had become uncomfortable. Finding Dr. Richard Field in London was truly life-changing. From our very first consultation, he was reassuring, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. His entire team was equally wonderful, and I felt supported every step of the way. My recovery exceeded all expectations. Within three weeks I was walking comfortably without crutches, and now just nine weeks post-op, I’m back to most of my favourite activities with a completely pain-free hip. The surgical scar has healed beautifully and is a testament to Dr. Field’s skill and precision. This surgery has been an absolute game changer, and I’m so grateful to Dr. Field for giving me my quality of life back. I can’t wait to return to surfing later this year!

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

I had a dental hygienist appointment. When it came to booking a further six monthly appointment I was asked to pay £35 in advance! This would be deducted from my bill in six months time. I declined to do this and cancelled my next appointment. I presume that at the next appointment I'd be asked yet again to pay £35 in advance, which basically means that this is just a way of charging a one off payment over and above the actual cost! I have never been asked to pay in advance for any private care, dental or otherwise. I think this is very sharp practice. By all means have a cancellation policy and charge the customer for not attending, but don't just take £35 well in advance! I may have to change my dental practice if this continues.

ABBI Clinic - Manchester

Psychiatry, Psychology, + 1 more

I was an online client. My first day and many following days, a laptop was placed somewhere (usually with a very minimal view of part of the room) whilst people in the room had a conversation (often it was staff as other patients had left the room/ spent a lot of time waiting for groups to start/ group leaders). Group timings etc weren't stuck to or structured and there seemed no consistency. The hardest part was having to have an 'assessment' i.e. go through my life background in detail (including trauma) a total of 5 times with different members of staff. I'm sorry to say (and likely it's different in person) but there didn't seem to be any genuine care whatsoever. It was a waste of time for me attending here sadly.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

Dr. Kathryn Taylor Barnes is an exceptional Aesthetic Doctor whose experience and skill truly stand out. From the very first visit, it was clear that she is not only highly knowledgeable, but also thoughtful, thorough, and attentive. She takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and approaches care with both confidence and compassion. Her expertise is evident in every interaction, and she makes you feel genuinely comfortable and well cared for. I am extremely grateful for the level of professionalism and excellence she brings to her work and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding aesthetic medical care.

Mr Nick Bailey

Physiotherapist

Nick from Physio Jack Studios was really great. I had what I thought was a typical calf strain but all the standard treatments from another physio did not heal it. 4 weeks out from a marathon, I was unable to run 1km without pain. Nick went through a very thorough diagnostic appointment, corrected my diagnosis to an overloading issue at a specific calf/achilles muscle complex and guided me through multiple plyometric exercises and a progressive running plan to allow me to finish the marathon in 3hrs 40mins. Could not recommend him highly enough, super knowledgeable, detailed and passionate 👍

Ringway Dental Cheadle

Dentistry

Both occasions on visiting the practice have been fantastic. Having a fear of the dentist isn’t great, but the reassurance from the staff is absolutely second to none. Talking through the steps to give you an indication of what’s going on etc. checking in constantly to make sure everything is ok with the procedure taking place! The staff are professional and very friendly, the practice is probably one of the best I’ve ever visited. It doesn’t have a normal sterile dentist feel to it! Again a great experience for someone who isn’t particularly keen on visiting the dentist.

Daleswood Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

Mr Tony Antonios

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Tony Antonios who operated on my shoulder. From the very beginning, I felt confident and well cared for. Despite the fact that my frozen shoulder was described as one of the most severe cases, the outcome has exceeded expectations. I am extremely pleased with the progress I’ve made, and the surgeon’s professionalism, honesty, and encouragement throughout my recovery have been truly reassuring. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the care I received.

Prof Leyva-Lyon took a clear new history and examined me arranged scans saw me after the scan explained all the finding clearly I was vey relieved and reassured I walked out feeling like a weight had been lifted from me at no time did I feel rushed or unsure he subsequently arranges outpatient tests and I had copies of letters to all above I can't thank him and his staff enough and count myself v fortunate to have had the care

Dr. Paraskevi Theocharis

Paediatric Cardiologist

Dr Theocharis was very professional and amiable. She took the time to chat on the phone and in person, answering all my questions (there were many!) in detail and with patience. There were some tests I wanted to book and she explained they were not necessary, which I found thoughtful as it helped save on the expense. Her prices were very reasonable and she was able to advise on which venues were less expensive,l again saving money.

Dr Carla Plymen

Cardiologist

It was a phone appointment. As always Dr Plymen listened to what I had to say and explained recent results from a stress echo test. I always feel a part of the decision making with the medical advice given. Everything is always explained so I understand the options to keep treatment stable. Compassionate, kind, caring and very knowledgeable. I have complete trust in Dr Plymen and the heart failure team I see. Thank you.
