Mr David Shields

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently had shoulder surgery performed by Mr David Shields, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and overall experience. From the very first consultation, he took the time to explain everything clearly and put me completely at ease about the procedure. His professionalism, expertise, and calm, reassuring manner gave me total confidence in his care. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the aftercare I received was excellent. Mr Shields followed up personally to ensure my recovery was on track, and his team were equally supportive and attentive throughout. I’ve had fantastic results and a much quicker recovery than I expected. I can’t thank Mr Shields enough for his skill and compassion — I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing shoulder surgery or specialist advice.

ObGyn Matters

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I was scheduled for a laparoscopic bilateral cystectomy. My disappointment stems from a critical failure in communication immediately prior to surgery.Minutes before the procedure, and while already prepped, I was informed by an unfamiliar doctor—not my primary gynecologist —that a bilateral salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal) was being added to the plan. This major change, involving the removal of a reproductive organ, was sprung on me at the most vulnerable moment, leaving absolutely no time to process this significant loss or ensure fully informed consent. It felt as though my fallopian tubes were taken without my proper agreement. A change in procedure of this magnitude must be communicated well in advance, not moments before surgery.

Mr Lucas Attwood

Physiotherapist

I had a difficult knee surgery, and working with Lucas has been exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, carefully adapting the training load based on how my leg responded each session. What I appreciated most was how he tailored the rehab specifically to the sports movements I needed to get back to. Lucas has also been incredibly accommodating and flexible with scheduling, which made the recovery process much smoother. Even during holidays, he took the time to give me advice and medical guidance over the phone — a testament to his dedication and genuine care for his patients. Beyond his expertise, Lucas is also a very kind and personable individual. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

Very efficient. I delayed my operation date and was advised that I’d be in active monitoring for a further 6 months. I had a call one hour after my initial email asking about the deferral so very good customer service. I called before my deferral date and was received in a very friendly way. I expressed my concern about having the knee replacement surgery and I was offered a date to see Mr Murthy to fit in with my commitments. The appointment was very good and now I’m not having the surgery but feel confident that I can go back into the system again and see Mr Murthy when I need to. All very effective and reassuring

Ms Cinzia Sammartino

General Surgeon

I had a hernia surgery with Dr Sammartino and from the initial consultation through to the surgery and follow-up, I couldn’t have wished for a better consultant. She was kind, supportive and thoroughly professional throughout. I received all the information I needed promptly, including detailed post-recovery guidance. The results are outstanding — four weeks post-operation, I can hardly notice any scarring. Thank you Dr Sammartino, for providing such an excellent experience and for your exceptional care. I’m deeply grateful to you and your team for looking after me so well.

Professor Ruth Whitby

General Practitioner

Professor Whitby has been my GP for a number of years now and every time I've had to visit shes been amazing. This week I had a serious pain in my hip. After requesting the appointment, Ruth saw me within the hour and and an hour after that i had an Xray, the results, blood tests and the treatment which was steroid injection. Today i am pain free but I have already been contacted by the hospital to arrange a follow up MRI. Ruth did try to sort the MRI out yesterday but unforutantely this was not possible fantastic and caring service once again gareth

Very efficient, clean and high standard as expected. As an aside, I really did appreciate the way the receptionist wrote my date of birth on a piece of paper and asked me quietly if it was correct. I intensely dislike the way receptionists in surgeries etc shout out so loudly, "DATE OF BIRTH??" in public. No discretion or politeness anywhere as a rule. More importantly, perhaps, the doctor was very helpful, efficient and very kind.. Thank you.

Mr Karan Jolly

ENT Surgeon

I was diagnosed with septum/nasal cancer in August, within 2 months all the cancer has been removed through necessary procedures. Mr Jolly has saved my life, for that I am eternally greatful. Throughout my treatment Mr Jolly has gone above and beyond what I could have ever expected. Constantly showing care, compassion and professionalism. I have so much admiration for him and the brilliant surgeon he is.

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

Downstairs work being done to the building. Noisy and lots of stuff/materials over the waiting room floor. I found the whole experience poor considering this is a private paying surgery. I understand the work needs to be done, however for a patient it is not ideal by a long shot. Not a relaxing atmosphere or acceptable. This is the second time I have been and the same building work being done.

Candover Clinic

General (Internal) Medicine, Physiotherapy, + 19 more

Everyone was friendly and the place clean but one of the receptions in radiology was very load speak so you heard all her conversations and calls clear as day. You are asked to to arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment but I did have to do anything just wait long as I didn’t get in on time and I can only guess they ran late as two people arrived after and went in before me.

Mr Cristian Nita

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was extremely pleased with my consultation with Mr. Nita. I found him extremely professional but also very friendly to talk to. He took time to explain in detail all aspects of my proposed upcoming operation(s). And fully explained all the options, potential risks and advantages of proposed treatment. I look forward to being treated by Mr. Nita.

Miss Mary Murphy

Neurosurgeon

Ms Mary Murphy has been looking after me for the last few years. She gave me a huge amount of confidence before performing a large brain operation, which proved very successful. I have complete trust in her ability. I am seeing her now for another issue where once again I have complete faith in her professional and calm manner.

Marris Medical

This is my second MRI scan with Marris Medical. As previously, my experience was excellent. Staff were so professional, friendly and immediately put me at ease. Premises was spotlessly clean. Equipment is state of the art. My report came the following day. Should I need a scan again, it would my go-to clinic without doubt.
