Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, General Surgery, + 39 more

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

Dr Farooq Rahman

Gastroenterologist

I was referred to Mr. Rahman by a surgeon that will be reconnecting my small intestine to my large intestine. Due to the severity of my case (starting out as an emergency and ICU patient), I needed some additional support and medical intervention to help me live and also prepare for a successful surgery. This means short term TPN treatment, at home PN treatment, management of hydration, electrolytes, etc. As soon as I met Mr. Rahman, I knew I was going to be well taken care of - I had been discharged from a hospital with little to no guidance and a lot of fear and with the assistance of Mr. Rahman I made it through some of the most difficult times (and continue to do so). Mr Rahman is confident in his statements, knowledgeable in his field, and also completely transparent. I appreciated the directness, the collaboration and his willingness to listen to me, answer my questions and not rush through appointments. Since having Dr. Rahman on my medical team, my husband and I have been able to share the weight of our fears. I would highly recommend Dr. Rahman.

Mr Ahmed Ibrahim

Neurosurgeon

My most recent visit was a post-surgery appointment. The purpose was to assess my progress and to provide advice and , in my case, a lot of reassurance that I will make a full recovery. Everything went well. Mr. Ibrahim was very factual and reassuring. I left the appointment feeling less stressed, confident that I will return to my being very active. My overall experience under Mr.Ibrahim's care has been positively memorable. He is very professional, calm, friendly and knowledgable. His support team is excellent! Amira was my contact. She was friendly, professional and pretty much perfect. She moved heaven and earth to ensure everything was in place pre and post - surgery. Dealing with Mr. Ibrahim and Amira has been an absolute pleasure.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

I recently had a consultation with Dr Tan, and I was truly impressed by the level of care she provided. She showed exceptional compassion and empathy, listened carefully to every concern, and addressed each point thoroughly and individually. No question felt rushed or unwelcome. This review honestly doesn’t do justice to the standard of service we received. I left the appointment feeling completely reassured and confident that I was in the safest hands. Speaking with her felt like talking to someone I had known for years—she was patient and so attentive. Whenever something wasn’t clear, she took the time to explain it fully, even using drawings to help us understand. A service like that will never be forgotten, thank you so much!

Dr Shahryar Hadavi

Rheumatologist

I found Dr Hadavi to be very patient and an excellent listener. I didn't feel that he rushed me at all and he took the time to listen to my long and somewhat complicated medical history and symptoms. He asked lots of questions and I felt he was very comprehensive in his consultation and thorough in his examination. I suffer with anxiety and find medical environments very triggering due to previous negative experiences with medical professionals, but Dr Hadavi made me feel respected and at ease and I felt reassured at the end of the appointment. He was also very quick to respond to my queries over email. He has referred me for tests and I feel confident that he will be able to help me get the answers and treatment I need.

Mr Mike Butler

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My recent visit to see Mr Butler was a very pleasant experience. It was to discuss my procedure which was a Left Inbone prophecy Total ankle arthrodesis. Mr Butler explained the total procedure and what to expect post op. He was very clear and made me feel very confident in a successful outcome. Post op Mr Butler came to see me and discussed the procedure informing me that it was successful but said that it was a difficult operation. I am now in the recovery stage and looking forward to getting back on my feet. Now looking forward to seeing Mr Butler in the near future to discuss my progress to full fitness. I am very impressed with Mr Butler through all stages of this ankle replacement.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

My recent visit was for a crown fitting and work on the gums. I saw Dr Balawal . I have had a number of appointments with him. He explains what he is doing and, he takes care to ensure the patient is not experiencing any discomfort. I have always understood, and been pleased with, his treatment. He presents as a very competent, conscientious dentist. The reception staff are all polite, helpful and friendly. I am so pleased that I contacted Quality Dental. I have taken out a dental plan and will continue to attend this surgery. I don't know what the other dentists in the practice are like, but I can certainly recommend Dr Balawal.

I'd laboured under my shoulder injury for 6 months, and Chris was able to achieve vast improvements in comfort and ability within weeks. Chris was impressively professional and meticulous, a pleasure to visit and I always felt willing to go the extra mile to explain the process to me and make detailed recommendations. This has really brought about a transformation in my quality of life, and I'm delighted to be back doing the things I love. Almost two months after first visiting the clinic, I am fully recovered- absolutely game-changing, could not recommend enough.

One Stop Healthcare

Spire St Anthony's Hospital

Allergy Medicine, Cardiology, + 21 more

I had an excellent experience at the hospital from start to finish. The facility was exceptionally clean and well maintained, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, taking the time to explain things clearly and answer any questions I had. Their kindness and attentiveness made a stressful situation much easier, and I felt well looked after throughout my visit.

Dr. Kasra Razi

General Surgeon

I assume that due to my strong stomach muscles the surgeon could not lift them so high so as to see that my Inguinal Hernia had extended down to the pubic bone. Probably that is very rare. The surgeon took my observations seriously and indeed enquired again about it before being discharged. Furthermore he phoned me today to re discuss and he restated that I was to have an examination to then decide further actions.

Clarity - Blackpool

Ophthalmology

I decided to have laser correction done privately after finding out the waiting time for NHS treatment was too long. My cataract operations and laser correction on one eye were done at Chec and I have nothing but praise on the way I was treated by all staff, clinical as well as administrative. Based on this I had full trust in using Clarity, knowing that I would be treated by the same caring consultants.

Ruislip Ear Care

Audiology, Ear Care

I recently had a hearing appointment, and it went really well. Dr. Akash was professional and attentive throughout the visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure and what to expect, which made me feel comfortable and confident. His clear explanations and friendly approach made the experience smooth and reassuring. I truly appreciated the care and expertise he showed during the appointment.

Dr Sanchoy Sarkar

Gastroenterologist

I have had colonoscopies before, but the procedure by Dr. Sarkar and his team was professional, caring, and supportive. Everything was explained to me clearly. The procedure itself wasn’t painful or uncomfortable, which was something I had been a little concerned about owing to my previous experience, about six years ago. Thank you Dr. Sarkar and your team.

Dr Akeel Alisa

Gastroenterologist

I have my care under Dr Alisa in the past and I insisted that any further follow up is with him as I fully respect and appreciate his vast experience and professionalism. Although he was away, I awaited the final plan to be made by him and as always I was well informed and reassured. Thank you again and your wonderful team including your fabulous PA Louisa

Mr James Barnes

General Surgeon

Mr Barnes is very patient and kind. He has a calm and caring bedside manner and has always put me at ease during consultations and pre/post-surgery. I have had the utmost trust in him throughout the kidney transplant process. I feel very fortunate to have had Mr Barnes as my surgeon as everything has gone so smoothly for me.
