The beginning of the visit went well. A lady with blonde hair explained where I need to go to wait on the doctor. I had various examinations from the lead nurse and assistant who were both very friendly and professional. I then had to have a heart monitor fitted and the person doing this was also great. I was told that I’m good to go and I left the room to walk out but was unaware of next steps, do I need to come back and when is the heart monitor being returned etc. I had approached a lady with red hair at reception who was so rude and unprofessional, zero eye contact and instead of listening to my concerns about not knowing where I stand and what further tests I will have done, she had spoken to me as if I should know this information and her attitude was extremely condescending. I explained my reasoning for being worried and she continued to give me unnecessary and unprofessional attitude. Lastly I asked this lady if I could please have a list of what my appointment and treatment had cost so far, she didn’t reply to Me and say of course I can share this, she simply looked down and worked on her computer whilst writing some figures down on a sticky note and coldly handed this to me. I replied with thank you for your help and goodbye to which she didn’t acknowledge and put her head down and carried on. Very unprofessional and also made me feel as if I am asking for a lot when in truly it’s my first time visiting kingsbridge and I was quite anxious. This experience made me feel worse to the point I had card my private health team to ask if something can be done as I was thinking of not returning. I hope this feedback is passed on to whoever needs to hear it and something is actioned to prevent other customers becoming overwhelmed to potentially not return, as I am sure my family and friends will think twice about visiting.

Mr Jamil Ahmed

Plastic Surgeon

I was entirely comfortable with Mr Ahmed from the initial consultation to the final consultation. Prior to the initial consultation I was anxious and unsure as to process, timing and recovery. Mr Ahmed explained all aspects of the process, he put me at ease whilst at the same time ensuring I was in possession of all the information I needed to make the right decision for me and enable me to manage my expectations completely. Within 2 weeks of the procedure I knew I had made absolutely the right decision with absolutely the right consultant. I had explantation of bilateral breast implants and capsulectomies and bilateral mastopexies under Mr Ahmed's care. I am so happy with the outcome of the surgery, the difference it has made to my outlook is phenomenal and I am more settled in this regard than I have been in 20 years!! A huge thank you to Mr Jamil Ahmed.

Mr Amit Patel

Ophthalmologist

Visited Dr Patel regarding an upper eyelid issue. Dr Patel took his time to ask my clinical history followed by a lengthy and careful eye examination. He also took his time to explain every step of the examination process. Once done, he spent quite sometime explaining what was causing the issue, he then showed an animated video which was extremely helpful and easy to follow. Finally, he gave me some literature so I could read at my leisure. All in all this was one of the most friendly and clear consultations I have had. Dr Patel is an excellent consultant that spent a lot of time explaining what was causing my symptoms and how to resolve them and is a testament to how passionate he is about his job. I would recommend Dr Patel whole heartedly. I hope I won't need to see an eye doctor again but if I do then it will certainly be Dr Patel.

Mr Nicholas Edmeades

Ophthalmologist

Nic was excellent at explaining exactly what would happen and took into consideration the fact that I was anxious regarding having my eyes touched. Nic conducted both procedures and also did the post review when the staff member whop was due to complete this went sick. This allowed me to properly thank Nic and praise the team for their excellent work. Newmedica in Plymouth should be proud of the service they provide. From the top down it was an excellent, professional, friendly informative experience. Thank you

I went for a postpartum check up with Aisling Freir, who helped me obtain a better understanding of where I was at in my recovery and where I needed support. She gave me helpful guidance on c-section massage as well as easy floor exercises to remediate my ab separation. I also saw Camryn Roberts for reformer Pilates. She really helped me to engage my core again and to regain confidence and strength. Both were very kind and understanding of the mental and physical challenges that can arise following childbirth.

Mr Andrew Skyrme

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently attended the Horder Centre for my hip replacement with Mr Skyrme. Despite being nervous about the procedure I can’t thank Mr Skyrme and the excellent team enough for putting me at ease and for the care they provided My surgery has been very successful and two weeks on I have been amazed at the speed of my recovery. My hip pain has gone and doing the prescribed exercises daily I feel I’m getting stronger every day.

Experts in Skin and Hair

Dermatology

Easy to make an appointment at a convenient time. Seen on time. Felt reassured by the doctor, he quickly diagnosed the problems. Provided some immediate treatment and made a new booking for a minor procedure. He felt knowledgeable and reassuring which is what I needed as I have a poor family history of skin cancer. I went away with a clear plan of action and this was followed up a few hours later by a written confirmation.

OCL Vision London

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Ophthalmology

Not a good outcome- I had lens replacement surgery in one eye earlier this year. It has left with me with blurred vision which hasn't improved after over 6 months. Be warned this is not the panacea that everybody expects. My particular lens also reduces colour saturation in natural light. Something that isn't made clear at the outset. There is a distinct difference in colour vision between the artificial and natural lens.

Dr Sarah Jane Khalid

Psychologist

Dr Sarah Jane is a fantastic person, a professional and knowledgeable psychologist! She was able to find an approach towards my situation and is helping me to understand what has happened. She is very kind and can make it less nerve-wracking to open up and talk, and she provides a safe, comfortable environment where you can speak. Could not recommend Dr Sarah Jane Khalid highly enough for psychological therapy!

Mr Pinak Ray

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Ray consulted and operated on my fully ruptured Achilles tendon. He was fantastic from the first visit onwards - very informative, clear about objectives and expectations, personable, and ready to listen and respond as needed. I really appreciated his positive energy and consistent approach and I had full confidence in him going into the surgery which was 100% successful. Very grateful to be under his care.

Mr Chung Sim Lim

General Surgeon

Mr Lim was extremely professional. He listened carefully to my concerns and made sure my particular worries were fully addressed. He was easy to talk to and explained everything to me. This was helpful in reaching an understanding of my issues and in enabling me to make the right decisions moving forward including any possible treatments. I would highly recommend Mr Lim

Mr Gerard Smith

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Mr. Smith is exceptionally skilled, with outstanding knowledge and a keen eye for detail. My results have always looked beautifully natural. The Maypole Clinic provides a clean, modern environment, and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. I have complete confidence in Mr. Smith and will definitely return for future treatments.

FitFor

Acupuncture, Mobility, + 7 more

I am in my 80s with a number of problems in my lumbar spine, including spondylolisthesis. For around 4 years until I found FitFor I felt fobbed off by the NHS physio services when I was useful information on building muscle strength to maintain my independence and ease the pain my back problems were causing me.

Dentistry @ Oceana Boulevard

Dental Care, Dentistry

Dr Kendall ALWAYS makes me feel comfortable and reduces any feelings of nervousness as I suffer greatly with this. I would not go to any other dentist. He is calm, re-assuring and friendly. In todays appointment he carefully explained my options and put my mind at ease for forthcoming root canal procedure.

John Flynn Opticians

Thrilled with my new glasses! Eyesight is precious and with a complex prescription, all the more so. I trust the expertise of Dr Janjua who is always professionally thorough, clear in his explanations, and one who aims for the best for me. It’s always a pleasure to visit him and his friendly team.
