Mr Hemant Vakharia

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an excellent experience with Dr Vakharia. I have a long history of endometriosis and was referred to him specifically by another gynae to further investigate my condition. From the very beginning, he never dismissed me or made me feel that my symptoms were insignificant. He listened carefully, addressed all of my concerns, and involved me in every decision regarding next steps. My surgery was successful, and during my post-operative appointment, Dr Vakharia took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, ensuring I fully understood what had been done and what to expect moving forward. I have immense respect for him. During my recovery, I went through a particularly difficult period with significant pain and multiple concerns. After I sent an email outlining my worries, Dr Vakharia personally called me—even though I did not have a scheduled appointment—just to check in and talk through what I was experiencing and what I should and shouldn’t do. That small but incredibly meaningful gesture went above and beyond, and I will always be grateful for it. Endometriosis is a very challenging condition to live with, but I never once felt ignored or neglected under Dr Vakharia’s care. I was treated with genuine respect, kindness, and reassurance, and all of my concerns were consistently addressed. He said something to me that no other doctor ever has: he encouraged me not to live my life in fear and to trust the process and the success of the surgery. Hearing that from a doctor was deeply comforting. I am truly thankful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr Vakharia to anyone considering a gynaecologist. He is compassionate, attentive, and fully present throughout the entire process.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

VISIO Health

Ophthalmology

I had a very good experience with Visio Health when I had recent laser treatment following cataract surgery on both eyes with Ms Sandhu. The cataract surgery, which took place in hospital in July and October, has been very successful. I no longer need glasses after having vision corrective lenses. And I hadn’t realised quite how blurred and sepia my sight had become. My vision is now very clear and bright. It really has positively impacted my life. Everything looks like it did back when I was young. It’s so much more cheerful than that blurry, yellow sight that I had grown so used to. And I am so much more confident when driving. No more night glare. I was really apprehensive and anxious about cataract surgery. So much so that it was decided that I would have the procedure under general anaesthetic. But I can honestly say that despite all the worry the end result is better than I could have imagined. The laser treatment at Visio to improve my sight further with one session of laser treatment was totally painless, very straightforward and uncomplicated. The clinic was very well organised and the staff were all lovely. A very good experience.

Attended for a blood test. I’ve had multiple bad experiences with blood tests over the years. This is primarily because I have very small and narrow veins which disappear with the touch of a needle..☹️ I find the whole experience extremely painful and distressing … I explained all of this to Debbie, the wonderful and kind nurse who attended me. She was brilliant! Totally put me at ease and was incredibly supportive and gentle. I was definitely a challenge for her as my veins were completely uncooperative per usual. But she took her time and used the smallest needle possible to minimise any discomfort. She succeeded in the end and managed to get enough blood for a full blood count!! Miraculous! I am so very grateful to Debbie for turning a potentially very upsetting and negative experience into a positive outcome. She has helped me to regain a little more confidence in having my blood taken again. Thank you Debbie! 😊

Dr Winston Martin

Cardiologist

Dr Martin was wonderful with my Mother who had been diagnosed with Heart Failure and at that time her symptoms were not controlled and a 999 call was required for hospital intervention. Under the NHS we had been told (despite the seriousness of the test results) that there would be a 12 month wait so we opted to seek out private care and Dr Martin was available for an appointment very quickly. Dr Martin was very thorough and took the time to fully explain his findings & recommend further tests to understand further. He was patient and kind to my Mother who has been very unwell and struggling to process all this new information.

Dr. Mark Jarvis

Gastroenterologist

I recently had a very embarrassing issue with regards to a sensitive area of my body, I visited Dr Jarvis through my BUPA plan and chose him based on his excellent reviews and skill set. I was not disappointed, Dr Jarvis was friendly, professional and explained everything throughout my two visits including a procedure. Im pleased to say my issue was resolved and I was reassured if the problem did persist or return to make contact. Again friendly, professional and very reassuring, overall I was very pleased with the service and his assistant Victoria was also very helpful and professional along the way.

This was my second cataract operation on my left eye having had a very successful cataract removal and lenses replacement on my right eye performed by Mr Sian a couple of months earlier at Musgrove Park. Mr Sian’s skills , patience and care are exemplary. The outcome hss exceeded all my expectations. For information I initially saw Mr Sian at the Nuffield and had my resulting procedures at Musgrove Park due to the complexity of both eyes. My comments apply mainly to Musgrove although are also applicable to treatment received by Mr Sian at the Nuffield Taunton.

Dr Praveen Kumar

Psychiatrist

I found Dr. Kumar to be exceptionally approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. He created a calm, respectful space in which I felt truly listened to and taken seriously. His explanations were clear and compassionate, and he took time to understand both my medical and personal circumstances rather than rushing through the appointment. I came away feeling more informed, supported, and less alone in what has been a very difficult period. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a psychiatrist who combines clinical expertise with genuine empathy.

Mr James Langdon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I read the reviews about Mr Langdon before I saw him and a couple said his manner wasn’t great. I feel it’s good to check these things as we have the information available. I felt he was friendly and explained everything carefully. I took my husband as I was on painkillers and my mind isn’t as sharp as I’d like. He listened more carefully and agreed with me. I would highly recommend him, he doesn’t waste any time. He gives you the relevant facts, gives you the options and you feel that you can make an informed decision.

Dr Dennis Barnes

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I was an NHS patient of Dr Barnes approximately ten years ago. My experience then and now has not changed. He does not just listen; he hears what you are saying and talks to you as an equal. He has a caring disposition. Dr Barnes asks questions that go beyond the presenting issues. I know he will do his best to find a solution to alleviate my symptoms. I have recommended Dr Barnes to others in the past and would have no hesitation in recommending him in his current role.

Mr Bassem Mettias

ENT Surgeon

Visited Mr Mettias for a ongoing issue with our 4 year son. He carried out a very good examination on the day, made plenty of notes. Listened very carefully and explained what the cuase may be. Explained very well what the route course could be and advised on treatment. Allowed us to think it through. What would be best for our son. And has left it very open and accessible to contact again. Very happy with the outcome of the initial consultation.

My GP sent referral for RTN in January 2025. According to their announcement on the ADHD website, the waiting time was 8-9 weeks. Unfortunately, I was waiting couple of months. My assessment was done in October and on my outcome appointment, which was a year after, the 3rd doctor was involved a d decided to do one more assessment. Without prior arrangement or agreement. Poor customer service, dishonest administration.

I cannot fault my hospital stay in any respect. It was a wholly positive experience, notwithstanding that I had major surgery! Every single member of staff I encountered made me feel I mattered. They were, without exception, so professional and caring and kind. And - when I needed a hug I received several! I would describe the care I received, from start to finish and in every respect, as exemplary.

Professor Vaibhav Modgil

Urologist

I have seen Professor Modgil on a number of occasions and he is just “the Best”. I’m no expert but clearly he is and his expertise combined with his personality and excellent bedside manner really does make appointments with him so good. Obviously, positive results always help but having been nearer the wrong side of results in the past he is always consistently Top Class. Thank you very much.

I think Georgie's class is absolutely excellent and it helps me a lot. She is both very good at showing us the exercises on the reformer and is also very kind! She looks after each and every one of us and ensures that we do the exercises correctly - I have learnt a lot about not rushing them to get the best out of them! I both need - and look forward to - her class.

Spire Leeds Hospital

Tues the 20th Jan was my first appointment 6 weeks after my robotic assisted total knee replacement. MR Veysi showed kindness and respect, to me and my Husband, during my appointment. Reassuring me about my expected recovery. And if needed I could see him again if I had any further concerns. But he was very happy with my progress, which would continue to improve.
