Mr Mfazo Hove

Ophthalmologist

I recently had ICL surgery with Blue Fin Vision, under the care of Mr Hove, and wanted to share my experience. From the first consultation, the timeline to getting to surgery was pretty quick, with a few tests and a small, pre surgery procedure done in Harley street. I also had plenty of face time with Mr Hove, and his clear explanations and reassuring manner made a huge difference to what is quite a big decision! The procedure itself took about an hour, and it was a little stressful — as you’d expect — but the team did absolutely everything they could to help me feel comfortable and supported. In hindsight, I should have considered the level of sedation I wanted (as I only went with oral diazepam) and I know I could have had this conversation with Mr Hove beforehand if I had just given him a call. I felt throughout that Mr Hove’s number 1 priority was delivering the absolute best outcome possible for my vision. There was some discomfort right after, but by the next day I felt close to completely fine. The 1-week, 1-month and ongoing checkups are incredibly reassuring in terms of monitoring my eye health. Before surgery I had significant long-sightedness and astigmatism, and now I can see clearly without glasses or contacts — genuinely life-changing. Communication from Blue Fin Vision has been excellent throughout, and they were always happy to work around my busy schedule. Overall, I’ve had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Blue Fin Vision and Mr Hove.

I attended for spinal MRI. Unfortunately the technician was running late for which I was happy to wait but because of timing his communication to me was very poor. I was shown a room to change and left there without any guidance, I was then taken to the MRI machine and not spoken to really to ask if I was okay or to provide any reassurance. I don’t like MRI scans because can feel anxious within the machine. All it takes is a little bit of reassurance and acknowledgement for which I had none. Throughout the test the technician did not speak to me at all to ask if I was okay. I am not sure if this is normal but I found during the MRI it became quite hot which I have not experienced before. When the test was over he hurried me away from the machine without acknowledging my back could be hurting when getting up, which it was a little. He didn’t show me to the door so I had to ask if I was allowed to go and then left the room to change and go home. My review would be it is the smallest common curtesies that makes all the difference to a patient and this time I did not experience this at all. So much so I won’t be choosing to go to this venue for another investigation

Willow Health

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I had an initial appointment with Dr Lauren Colquhoun and Emily Holt at Willow Health, and honestly, it was such a positive experience. The appointment was meant to be an hour, but there was absolutely no rush and they actually spent around 1 hour 15 minutes with me just to make sure everything was covered properly. They really look at everything, my age, lifestyle including diet, exercise and sleep pattern, my long-term health conditions, and all the symptoms I’ve been struggling with. They didn’t rush me at all. They gave me some initial ideas to get started and said we’d talk through options once I’d had time to think things over and review the follow up materials, which I really appreciated. I left feeling genuinely supported and reassured. It was the first time in a long while that I felt confident I was getting the right advice, something you just don’t get in a 10-minute GP appointment. Would 100% recommend Willow Health to anyone needing proper advice, guidance and support.

Mr Amer Raza

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Raza has been incredible. From the first appointment he understood my pain, other symptoms and the impact it was all having on me as a person. He gave me several options and I ended up having excision of endometriosis surgery with him early October. To say Mr Raza and this surgery changed my life is an understatement. I have gone from needing a walking stick to walking greater distances than I have in years and my pain has greatly subsided. His team have been so supportive of me and my husband throughout this journey (Sukhy and Denia are amazing too). I have had some awful experiences with other gynaecologists and endometriosis specialists, but I will continue to recommend Mr Raza to everyone suffering with this awful disease. Thank you so much 😊

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr. Kariyawasam offers a rare and exceptional combination of deep medical expertise and genuine compassion. She is highly skilled in diagnosing her patients with accuracy and efficiency, while also attending thoughtfully to the human concerns that naturally arise when one needs medical evaluation or treatment. Her follow-up letters are always clear, thorough, and truly helpful. Even her secretary is accessible, kind, and supportive, which makes the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Dr. Kariyawasam initially became my doctor by chance, as I needed an urgent appointment and she happened to be available. It is no coincidence, however, that she will remain my doctor moving forward. Her care is outstanding in every way.

Dr Pardeep Grewal

Psychiatrist

For the first time in my life, I've had the confidence to seek the help I needed regarding my mental health. When I visited Dr Pardeep Grewal, I was beyond terrified, imprisoned by my brain, and in a place so incredibly dark, I thought I didn't have the strength to endure anymore. The prospect of talking to someone was so daunting, however, that fear dissipated as soon as I met Dr Grewal. Our first meeting changed my life. Dr Grewal was so incredibly understanding, comforting, and insightful. His approach made me instantly feel safe, like I was doing the right thing and that I was doing it in the right place with the right people. I felt emboldened, and for the first time, like there was hope and a plan in place for me.

My first appointment was cancelled by the clinic this was after telling me to pay the fee upfront and re booked two weeks later. I arrived on time for my appointment and was told there would be a delay again. After waiting for sometime I asked the staff to find out what the delay was I was then seen by the clinician half an hour later. My experience with the clinician I felt was not worth the fee. I was not examined correctly I was not given any advice as to how to deal with the issue and the letter I received afterwards was not very accurate or informative. So I would not go back again or recommend.

Mr Sanjeev Goswami

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My experience with Mr Goswami is outstanding. Mr Goswami is a true professional, emphatic and an amazing surgeon. This is now my second operation with Mr Goswami and as a very nervous patient- it was a relief knowing he was the surgeon. The aftercare is excellent with Mr Goswami and the nurses. The anesthetist and nurse who gave me my General Anesthetic were the best professionals at hand since they helped me get through the operation since I had a little melt down before the op. I can not rate my experience any better than it was and feel truly blessed. Thank you SO much

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

My surgeon was Shohista Saidkasimova and she was really wonderful. She put me at ease during the initial consultation, extremely interested in all my questions and explaining all items of the surgery in layman’s terms. During the operation she asked what kind of music I liked and supplied this in the background, not intrusively but loud enough to provide an excellent distraction. But what really impressed me was the way she interacted with me personally throughout the operation. I have nothing but praise for this lovely lady and would throughly recommend her.

From the very first consultation, Mr. Rahim Kaba put me at ease with his calm, professional manner and clear explanations. He took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I fully understood the aqua ablation procedure and what to expect. On the day of the operation, his team was attentive and reassuring, and I felt confident I was in the best hands. The procedure itself was smooth, and the recovery has been far easier than I anticipated. I noticed improvements quickly, and the results have genuinely made a positive difference to my daily life.

Mr Alan David James

General Surgeon

I was extremely anxious on learning that I required surgery to repair a hernia. If I had known my surgeon Mr Alan James from the outset I would have been much less anxious. Alan James is a charming and calm surgeon who takes time to explain everything that’s happening every step of the way. I was. a day patient, and my procedure could not have gone any smoother, Three weeks later I am almost fully recovered! I cannot recommend Alan James highly enough, he is an absolute credit to his profession, who many at his level could learn from.

Mr Andrew Port

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Outstanding surgeon. As a healthcare professional, I researched to the nth degree who my wife should be referred to for her knee replacement surgery, and the answer was obvious. Consistently, Mr Port was the name that came up over and over again. I also had experience of how good he was from my time as a GP with excellent outcomes and praise from all the patients I referred to him. We are delighted with the outcome of the surgery. It is even better than I expected. Thank you Mr Port. We are very grateful.

Mr Andrew Sidebottom

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Mr Sidebottom is very professional and he spends the time listening to your concerns and issues, he explained what was causing the issues in a manner which I understood and easy to absorb long term. The treatment was self administered through the use of massage of the affected area and the use of pain relief gels and the use a mouth splint. Having been reviewed periodically, I am very pleased with the outcome and with Mr Sidebottom professionalism. Definitely recommend to others.

Dentistry @ Oceana Boulevard

Dental Care, Dentistry

As I am severely claustrophobic/cleithrophobic, being in a dentist's chair has traditionally been mega difficult. I have been going to this practice for some years now and they have never failed to be genuinely supportive, kind, pragmatic, responsive to my needs. They have given excellent dental care throughout despite me being a blooming awkward patient! If you are fearful of dentists for whatever reason, I would encourage you to contact these guys, they can be trusted to help.

Mr Tim Biggs

ENT Surgeon

This surgery has changed my life for the better in a way that is difficult to quantify. It has also improved my partners life as we are able to be both closer and experience better sleep. Without good rest life can met with so many avoidable challenges. With this surgery I am able to breath clearly through my nose and sleep easy. I would recommend this surgery and with experience can say it is life changing.

I had a great experience at TLC. The therapy team, nursing team and staff are all very friendly and attentive. I felt supported and comfortable throughout my stay. The day is well structured and there is a good balance of groups and downtime. The therapy team are excellent and you really build connection with the counsellors which is unique.
