I booked and paid for a private online consultation with Dr Vinesan Naidoo regarding persistent hyperprolactinaemia confirmed on blood tests (monomeric prolactin approx. 590 mIU/L; total prolactin approx. 704 mIU/L) with ongoing symptoms including low libido, low energy, anxiety, poor sleep and mood issues. This appointment was extremely disappointing. From the start, I was interrupted repeatedly and not allowed to explain my symptoms properly. The doctor quickly dismissed the issue as “physiological” and “not a medical concern” despite clearly abnormal blood results and clear symptoms affecting my quality of life. What I found most frustrating is that he seemed to assume he knew better than I do about what I’m experiencing, essentially implying that raised prolactin at these levels cannot cause symptoms — even though it is well known that prolactin elevation can affect libido, mood, energy and sexual function in men. There was no structured assessment and no clear plan. The consultation did not cover: possible causes of raised prolactin repeat testing plan (fasting, stress-controlled, early morning) medication/supplement review endocrine referral pathway whether pituitary imaging should be considered if prolactin remains elevated As a patient paying privately, I expected a professional, thorough medical discussion. Instead, I felt dismissed and rushed, and left with no help, no reassurance, and no next steps. I cannot recommend this doctor based on my experience. I paid for a medical consultation, but what I received was an opinion with no investigation, no plan and no clinical value.

Mentis Clinic

Psychiatry, Psychology

I had a consultant review with Dr Shaikh for the re-initiation and titration of medication for a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis. I chose Mentis Clinic as it was the most affordable option I found during my research, particularly considering that their service includes consultant review, medication titration appointments, prescriptions, and a shared care agreement. My previous notes were reviewed promptly, and I was offered an initial consultant appointment within a week, followed by a titration appointment the following week. Dr Shaikh was very attentive and took the time to understand my circumstances and reasons for seeking re-initiation and titration of medication. There was no waiting list, which meant I was seen extremely quickly. The pharmacy also handled my prescription efficiently, with medication delivered in a timely manner. After the initial consultant review, I received my clinic letter very quickly and was given the opportunity to request amendments, which were dealt with promptly. I was provided with comprehensive information about medication options and was also given a letter of support for education and employment without even having to request one, which was something I genuinely needed. I am extremely satisfied with the service I have received from Mentis Clinic and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking assessment or ongoing care for ADHD.

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

Mr Geoffrey Roberts

General Surgeon

I consulted Geoffrey Roberts at The Manor Hospital, Headington on 12th December 2025 regarding a hernia repair. In the circumstances, it was about as positive experience as it could possibly have been. He was friendly but professional, took a detailed history (which he remembered when I next met him on the day of the operation) and gave a very clear explanation of his diagnosis and the procedure for the repair. He filled me with unexpected confidence and was timely in confirming his advice in writing. I had the operation on 16th January 2026. It went extremely well and my recovery was swift and uncomplicated. He 'phoned me the day after the operation to make sure I was OK - for which I was grateful. I saw him for the post-op consultation on 28th January 2026, when I was discharged. The whole process was efficient and professional but at the same time strongly indicative of his clear investment in patient care. I cannot recommend him too highly.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a total hip replacement about 6 months ago after years of pain and stiffness in my hip joint. As I am only in my late 40s I was reluctant to get it replaced at a relatively young age. Since the procedure I have felt like a different person and the pain that I had went immediately after the operation. I have just had a routine 6 month checkup with Mr Malek and the hip has healed nicely. I chose Mr Malek due to his experience with minimal evasive hip surgery and from the initial consultation through to the operation and aftercare I have been highly impressed with the overall process and his work. He is very approchable and helpful and made me feel I was in good hands. Furthermore, there has been little damage to the affected area which has allowed me to recover very quickly. Eventually I will need my other hip replacing and I will be returning to Mr Malek for this procedure to.

Mr Hisham Hamed

Breast Surgeon

I have been a patient of Dr Hamed for the past five years and recently attended my six-monthly follow-up appointment. As always, it was a pleasure to see him. These appointments are naturally stressful and anxiety-provoking, but Dr Hamed and the nursing team consistently make the experience easier through their warmth, kindness, and highly professional approach. Dr Hamed never rushes the appointment and always makes time to answer every question I have, no matter how many. He is a truly outstanding consultant whom I trust completely. His care, reassurance, and expertise have played a huge role in my recovery following my mastectomy, and I am incredibly grateful for the support he continues to provide. I could not recommend Dr Hamed more highly.

I contacted Dr Nikki after being told a n NHS gynaecologist appointment wait was 64 weeks. It was super easy to make an appointment, find out costs and provide information prior to being seen. It was so nice to be able to spend time with Dr Nikki explaining my issues and actually being listened to. Options were discussed fully, blood tests taken immediately, prescriptions issued and delivered the next day. My follow up was arranged promptly, test results discussed and options openly discussed again. Dr Nikki and the services she offers are so needed for women today.

Mr Pranai Buddhdev

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I took my 14 yr old, slightly awkward son to see Mr Buddhev recently and he was fantastic with him. Mr Buddhev put Jonathan at ease and spoke directly to him in language that he could understand. Mr Buddhdev was particularly respectful of my son's sports focus and recognised what an important part of his life it is. My son sees a lot of consultants (unrelated to this) but was able to relate to Mr Buddhev better than some consultants that he's been seeing since birth. Heartfelt thanks

Miss Claire Mellon

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have been a patient of Miss Mellon for many years and particularly at my age it is always a comfort to have such an understanding and caring clinician. Miss Mellon is professional, but someone who shows empathy and caring - you feel part of her family rather than a distant clinical non-personal carer -- rare into today's modern, digital society. I could ot recommend anyone more. I appreciate her consideration, care, and interest in one as a person, not a number. Thank you so much

Mr Thomas Crompton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My teenage son is seeing Mr Crompton for a broken femur, and the service and care we have received so far has been excellent. Mr Crompton's office are super-responsive, helpful and kind. Mr Crompton's advice has been brilliant and perfectly pitched for my teenage son who is worried about his surgery and desperate to get back to sport. Mr Crompton really understands how to communicate with young people (as well as parents) which we feel is absolutely critical.

Mr Billy Jowett

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Jowett was extremely personable making me feel very confident in his care. Everything was explained in clear and concise detail, with a follow up letter so that I could more readily digest the necessary information. Follow up diagnostics were quickly organised making for a very swift appraisal of my problem. I would have no hesitation on returning to Mr Jowett if the need arose and would certainly recommend. Thank you for your care and understanding.
