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

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I had a bilateral cataract operation, performed by Mr. Deshmukh. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The technicians who did all the assessment checks (separate and earlier appointment) were excellent. At this appointment I met Mr Deshmukh who put me at ease and we discussed the best replacement lenses to suit my needs. For me the premium lenses were the right choice. On the day of the operation the hospital staff were brilliant - professional and good humoured. The operation was completely painless and took much less time than I had anticipated. The immediate aftercare was been superb and the nurse talked me through what I had to do and just as importantly avoid doing. I was given some eye drops to use for the next 4 weeks. You quickly become expert at using them. Following the operation my eyesight was as good as I can remember it ever being. I then returned for a follow up consultation with Mr Deshmukh who confirmed that my recovery was going very well and my vision is better than 20/20. I have worn spectacles since my early teens and this is an incredible outcome. I can now proceed with my training to become a driving instructor.

Mr Aimen Amer

General Surgeon

Met Mr Amer at Washington Clinic . He was warmly welcoming despite having had a very busy day up to that point. We discussed the background to my appointment , which was a very effective way of getting to understand a bit about each other as well as the medical details. Very clear explanation also using some video to show what procedures would entail . Good clear summary of the various risks involved . I came away from the appointment very confident in Mr Amer and with a clear plan for treatment which hopefully can be done quickly to fit in with other things I'm doing . Faultless .

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

I was very apprehensive about eye surgery, but Tom Cudrnak Ophthalmology put my mind at ease. The procedure was painless, swift, and professional. I felt completely safe and supported, especially under Roni's warm, friendly guidance and that of the other team members. I felt in safe hands from the very first consultation to the final follow-up. It was a fantastic process. The results of the eye operation are miraculous and life-changing, and it means so much to me to have my sight back, thanks to you.

Mr Amresh Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My appointment with Mr Singh was no different to my previous meetings with this excellent surgeon, every aspect was of the highest degree of professionalism. He outlined what had taken place in replacing my old hip with the new, analysed what progress I had made since the operation, and then answered any concerns I had over regaining full mobility and fitness during the past eleven weeks. I came away from the appointment in a better frame of mind and with realistic targets to aim for.

Mr Matthew Oakley

Mr Oakley could not of been more helpfull in explaining to me the complexities of the operation I was going to have on my knee.Unfortunately on my first visit to the Operating theatre there was a slight problem but it was dealt with without any fuss by his team and I had the procedure done a fortnight later,with great success I might add.The aftercare I had was second to none and I have no complaints whatsoever.Doubles and trebles all round.Cheers!

I had a great experience working with Jack. I have been experiencing on and off back pain for quite some time. He completed a thorough assessment and was able to show me what was causing it and how we can treat it. It made complete sense. I am now feeling much better. I understand what it is, and know exactly what to do if it comes back. The studio is also amazing with loads of equipment and a great vibe. Highly recommend!

Dr Imran Ansari

Cardiologist

I have been under the supervision of Dr Ansari over the past month and cannot recommend him highly enough. He put me at ease every step of the way and always felt like he had time for me and to go threw things in thorough detail and made sure I understood everything. If I was to have any heart issues in the future he would be the only person I would want to see . I sincerely thank him for all his help .

Mr Ardeshir Bonshahi

Friendly welcoming receptionist. Mr Almeyda was very approachable and I felt listened to. He was very professional and took time to explain each procedure . I was very impressed as he noticed a small mark on my nose and has referred me to a dermatologist as he thinks it may be a basal skin carcinoma . He suggested I return if my symptoms worsen again . Thank you Mr Almeyda .

Dr Rachel Byng-Maddick

My experience was extremely positive. Dr Rachel Byng-Maddick listened carefully and explained everything clearly, which made the situation feel much more relaxed and reassuring. She was thorough in her assessment, completed all the necessary tests, and gave me real confidence that she had listened, responded appropriately, and made referrals where needed.

I have recently joined Concierge Medical Practice under the care of Doctor Sarah Brown. She was professional, attentive and genuinely took her time I listen to my concerns without rushing the appointment. Her explanations were clear and reassuring and I felt confident in the treatment plan. Definitely made the right decision in signing up to the service.

Mr Abuchi Okaro

General Surgeon

Mr Okaro explained everything well, he made his point clearly. He tried very hard to make sure the wound was clean and well stitched, I’m amazed at the job that was done to be honest. I could not have wished for a better outcome. This man is obviously very very good at what he does and I’m grateful the universe placed him at the helm with my operation.

Dr. Patrick Campbell

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Campbell was very reassuring and as this was a follow up appointment, the treatment plan and prescribed medication detailed at my previous consultation was working really well. He also gave me the assurance that if I needed to see him again I would get a quick appointment. Both visits to Dr Campbell were a very positive experience.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

Neither I nor my wife visit Dr Johnstone very regularly but whenever we do one can be confident of good advice and a friendly reception. One of DrJohnstone's particular skills is that she can always put you in touch with an expert in his/her specialist field. Today we saw Dr J's temporary stand in. Once again- first class Peter B

As someone who has undergone some awful dental appointments, being treated by Krish at York Dental Suite was a wonderfully pleasant surprise. I was told exactly what would be happening, given time to ask questions and every effort was made to make me feel comfortable throughout the treatment.
