Dr Nigel G Stephens

Cardiologist

I identified Dr Stephens as someone who might be more suited to my age and sporting interests than my previous cardiologist. The difference in approach was like chalk and cheese. Dr Stephens explained the hunch he had, was willing to share surprise that a key test had been overlooked, it was arranged quickly and delivered professionally by what seemed a very experienced and knowledgeable team at Northwick Park (Mary and colleague). The results accorded with the hunch and were extremely good news. This was against a backdrop of having been advised to do three months detraining, not easy for me but doable if necessary, but without any real assurance that it would lead to a diagnosis. Twenty seven days of booked holidays cancelled with deposits refunded, the prospect of beta blockers for a protracted period, not able to give blood, not possible to continue with my previous travel insurer and always with the doubt in my mind that there may be an undiagnosed significant heart issue. I was amazed by the clarity with which the advice was given, the quality of the advice, the personableness of Dr Stephens and the speed/clarity of the communications. after the two appointments. I got lucky in being given enough info by a friend to take the decision to get myself seen by Dr Stephens. The experience has truly been life changing and I can't think of any other way of describing it. To say I am extremely grateful is a total understatement. I was also impressed by Libby and others in the administration team at Maidstone who seemed to handle everything efficiently and slickly. Overall, entirely faultless and massively impressive. Thank you so much (and see you in a year's time!)

Delamere: Private Rehab Clinic & Addiction Treatment

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I had an incredibly positive experience at Delamere and I’m very grateful for my time there which has been transformative. The programme is extremely well structured and thoughtfully designed - a really well-rounded mix of therapy, group work, education and peer support. The staff are kind, dedicated and create a safe, supportive environment where real change feels possible. I want to give special thanks to Mark, my therapist, and Gary, my mentor. Their honesty and approach made a huge difference to my recovery. I felt seen, challenged in the right ways, and supported to build real clarity and confidence. I made meaningful progress and left feeling stronger, clearer and had regained hope for the future. The only area I feel could be improved is the level of psychiatric support. During my stay, patients were offered one 15-minute appointment with the psychiatrist, which felt brief especially for those with more complex mental health needs. I would have valued more collaboration and communication around medication decisions. Strengthening this aspect of care would make an already excellent programme even better. Overall, I’m extremely thankful for my time at Delamere and would definitely recommend the centre to others seeking recovery support.

Dr Philip Alexander

Ophthalmologist

It would have been better if it was made more clearly to us that Johns' vision would settle after 3-4 weeks rather than be under the impression 10-14 days would see vision return. The difference in wording is quite subtle. If there were to be future patients with only one eye, and this needs operating on, then I would like to advise that it is extremely difficult to function with this sudden complete loss of sight, even for a few days. Both patient and any carer need to be made aware of this and the psychological pressure it brings to all involved in caring at home. Fortunately, I have experience through eye injury of my own and Social Care work. Therefore I was more prepared than John was!! We are very happy that Mr. Alexander took time to run through tests and explanations thoroughly in a very pleasant manner. Written by Johns' spouse as he is unable to see enough to write this himself!!

Dr Mokhtar Ibrahim

Cardiologist

Saw Dr Ibrahim in his private clinic in Nottingham. We discussed what had happened since he took me of the NHS waiting list for a pacemaker in October 2024. I had been free of any AF episodes for 15 months. Since the end of December 2025, I have had 2 short episodes of AF. He then explained that unless the episodes continued and affected my way of life, then there was no need for a pacemaker. He explained in detail the procedure for fitting a pacemaker. He reassured me that as long as I kept taking Apaxiban, then I was perfecting safe, even though my heartbeat ranged from 45 to 110. His professional and understanding approach, left me feeling that he had listened to me and that I felt much more confident in going forward, knowing that a pacemaker could be fitted when it was necessary.

Dr. Douglas Maslin

Dermatologist

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Maslin and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking dermatology care. Because of a history of skin cancer on both sides of my family, I try to receive regular comprehensive skin checks to ensure I am aware of any skin lesions that need to be treted or monitored. I had not had a regular check in several years, but Dr. Maslin put me at ease by taking a thorough accounting of my family history and performing a very thorough check, as well as making sure he answered all of my questions. In addition to being highly professional, Dr. Maslin is extremely friendly and personable. I couldn't have asked for a better skin check and feel confident in the evaluation I received.

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

Gastroenterology, Anaesthetics, + 10 more

Although the appointment wasn't satisfactory for me because the doctor couldn't give me a second opinion on my back and neck pain since his specialty is lower extremities, he sent me for updated MRI exams so he could give me a responsible and accurate second opinion on my knee and ankle. I emailed the doctor and am waiting for him to reply with his diagnosis from the previous appointment so I can provide my employer with the information they need to continue helping me with the MRI costs and get positive results that will allow me to go to work without any health risks. Thank you very much.

Dr Rohan Jagathesan

Cardiologist

Dr Rohan was very professional, yet warm. Listened to my concerns and walked me through the plan. From testing and assessing possible diagnosis to prevention and future monitoring and treatment if needed. I felt I was in good hands. I did a full blood and urine workout to ensure I don't have an underlying disease. After a few lifestyle changes and home monitoring I saw my blood pressure normalise, for the first time, since I was diagnosed with preeclampsia 2 years ago, during pregnancy. I could not recommend Dr Rohan more.

Spire Manchester Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 11 more

Spire Manchester Hospital is exceptional in every sense. The nursing staff who cared for our son were outstanding and made the entire experience feel calm and reassuring rather than clinical. In particular, Sarah was wonderful — attentive, warm, and highly professional, creating an environment that didn’t feel like a hospital at all. The standard of care throughout was exemplary, and this was without question the least stressful surgery experience we have had. We are extremely grateful to the nursing team.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Ilford

General Surgery, Imaging (Scans), + 2 more

Paid privately for Hip Replacement, initial appointment was disappointing with an hour wait, and a non interested surgeon. A few blips along the way, upon arrival on surgery day, they had me down for a knee replacement not hip, staff on night shift not the friendliest, and thet x rayed the incorrect hip after the surgery. Day shift were great and surgery went well. I will say I expected more for paying privately however the main thing I've had my surgery instead of the ridiculous wait time on the nhs.

Mr Michael Kuo

ENT Surgeon

I had a consultation with Mr Kuo recently, which was a delightful experience. Mr Kuo was knowledgeable and had extensive experience. He patiently examined my throat with explanations of each step and responses to my concerns. To ascertain the cause, he also discussed with me some of my eating and drinking habits that could contribute to the symptoms. I left the consultation with a eased mood and confidence in elimininating the symptoms with his diagnosis and prescription.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I would recommend Mr Malek to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. He is very friendly, approachable and reassuring. I have a small scar ( about 6”) which is very neat and a lot less than other people I know who have had the same operation. I was advised to prepare (exercise) and follow up well (exercises) which I did and I think this helped my recovery. I hope I don’t need surgery again but if I did I would go back to Mr Malek.

Dr. Abraham Neduvamkunnil

Paediatrician

Our 8-week old son had difficulties with his breathing, which we were very worried about. The doctor was very professional, took time to understand the issue and checked for all possible causes. We are really grateful for his recommendations and for suggesting a follow up appointment in 8 weeks’ time, which was important for us to see that the matter was being monitored diligently. Thank you for your care and support.

Dentalessence - Worthing

Dentistry

I had two teeth extractions yesterday. I am very pleased with the service I received. I have been using this practice for the last five years and I would not go anywhere else. I always been afraid to go to a dentist but since I’ve been going to this practice, my fears subsided a lot. Very friendly and professional practice. I feel that I can trust my dentist, Stalinist with my teeth.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

I have struggled with trigger finger in both hands for a while. Mr. Jonathan Hobby has always given me the best advice and treatment. The most recent steroid injections have been a huge success. My middle fingers no longer lock when I'm carrying out daily tasks and the terrible pain in my left middle finger joint has disappeared. A huge relief and it's wonderful not to be in pain.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

The clinic itself is excellent — very clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The reception staff were polite, professional, and helpful, which made the whole visit smooth and stress-free. From check-in to departure, everything was handled efficiently. I had a very positive experience overall and would happily recommend this clinic.

Equilibria Health

Psychology, Psychotherapy

I would say my experience was terrifying to start with but through time the experience became enjoyable and I took a lot out of each session it’s hard to find fault with the treatment I’ve received from Corinne and would say 10/10 it’s helped me no end to cope with my mental health which I used to look at as a sign of weakness
