Dr. Akan Eka

General Practitioner

My observations on Dr Aka Being born in 1943, I am able to remember what it was like to see the doctor in those days. Fortunately, I didn’t have much first hand experience besides having wounds patched up occasionally, notably one laceration of my middle finger, which was sliced open by the rim of a rusty old wheelbarrow wheel which I was trying to divert from flattening my Dad's prize flower bed. The wound went septic. Our doctor gave me a newly introduced bovine based anti-tetanus injection to which I became allergic and swelled me up to resemble the Michelin man. I don't remember the treatment but do recall the concerned manner in which I was nursed back to health from what I understand was a serious condition, by my doctor who visited me at home regularly. As the Dad of four children, medical intervention and advice was necessary from time to time by our family Doctor who also visited us at home when necessary, and was a friend and confidant to us all. Now, with the general increase of population, thus, in the doctor to patient ratio, it is impossible to replicate the old order in general. However, it is refreshing to know that this order still exists and is exemplified by my experience of twice recently being treated by Dr Eka who, with all the resources of modern technology to hand is able to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe effective treatment, but does this in a cool, friendly and concerned manner in full knowledge of my history, for which I am most grateful.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

This was so different from when I was here 10 years ago. The nursing staff were so lovely this time, cheerful and friendly and Lou was particularly helpful. All staff everywhere were kind and pleasant. The physiotherapists led by Carmen were astonishing. Their whole approach was helpful and kindly, the exercises were achievable, the support was just excellent including the post op phone call to me at home. I feel really positive about it all. I also commend the food, it was fantastically good especially the lamb stew, very Elizabeth David . And I really liked the inflating things on my feet the first night, very soothing. The one thing I didn't like was the tsunami of emails with essential information, each with a link to a cloud, needing a password . This took ages to navigate, and I gave up. When I mentioned this in person I got a really good booklet which I'm still using. It takes seconds to flip from section to section, it works and is useful. Perhaps if each email made it clear what section it's about, then that might help. But it's quicker to use the paper version.

Dr Bav Shergill

Dermatologist

Dr Shergil is a highly skilled Dermatology Consultant/Surgeon who was recommended to me by a friend. I found him to be gentle, kind and very sensitive to my profound hearing disability. His diagnosis of a basal cell carcinoma on the rim of my right ear was clear and straightforward. I opted for him to remove the lesion at McIndoe Centre and the procedure was carried out by him without causing me any pain. He has since advised that the histology showed that the operation was successful.

Miss Stella Ivaz

Urologist

I have been seeing Miss Stella Ivaz the past couple of months. She is uber professional and a true expert in her field of Urology! She is very thorough and such a clear communicator at all times, during what can be quite personal issues. In addition, what also stands out for me personally, is that Miss Ivaz has an excellent bed side manner, good humoured and very empathetic, qualities which can be hard to find these days. I highly recommend Miss Ivaz without question.

Mr Jonathan Broome

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I received excellent treatment and truly outstanding patient care throughout my procedure. From the initial consultation to aftercare, everything was explained clearly and I felt listened to, reassured, and treated with genuine professionalism and kindness. The procedure itself was handled with great skill, and I felt completely confident and safe at every stage. I am extremely grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Broome to others.

Endocare Diagnostics

Gastroenterology

I had to give out personal information in a waiting room with other people. Also I was sat in the waiting room about half an hour having been nil by mouth, there were people eating and drinking. There should be a separate waiting area for patients. It was 2 hrs before I was seen, which is too long when you've been told to be nil by mouth. I had to explain I was autistic to the doctor, who was fine once he understood.

Skin Horizon

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I had an excellent experience at Skinhorizon Clinic for my acne treatment. The team was kind, professional, and really took the time to understand my skin concerns. The treatment plan was explained clearly, and I started noticing improvements sooner than I expected. The clinic has a calm, reassuring atmosphere, and I felt well cared for throughout. I highly recommend Skinhorizon Clinic to anyone struggling with acne.

Dr. Paraskevi Theocharis

Paediatric Cardiologist

Dr Theocharis saw my teenage son about a potential heart issue. During the consultation she was very kind and professional and took the time to listen to him and understand the issue thoroughly. During the follow-up tests, she was proactive in chasing results and responsive with keeping us updated and making sure everything was resolved properly. Overall, she was very impressive and I'm glad we chose her.

HCA Healthcare UK London Bridge Hospital

Diagnostics & Testing, Haematology, + 11 more

The hospital was very clean, very friendly and very welcoming. I was shown to my room, given a menu for dinner that night as I was staying over. The staff were all very polite and attentive, even going above and beyond to get me a chocolate milkshake when the kitchen had shut. Very nice people and a very good stay after my first time going under anaesthetic

Mr Jawad Freites

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Had a diagnostic consultation with Mr Freites for pelvic organ prolapse. He went through everything very thoroughly and explained his assessment and treatment options clearly. Excellent manner - made me feel safe and listened to. In my case, we agreed best option is to continue with conservative management but I will not hesitate to return if things worsen.

Professor Olaf Wendler

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Professor Wendler performed a quadruple bypass on me two years ago in January 2024. Despite some complications the whole experience was undertaken with care and professionalism. His calmness after the operation was extraordinary and gave me confidence and reassurance. I would like to thank him and his team for their unbelievable care.

Dr Oliver Denton

General Practitioner

Excellent. Dr Denton took the time to explain the anatomy of my shoulder, what was causing me pain and the treatment that he would provide. He used ultrasound to identify and explain to me the areas in my shoulder that were causing me problems. The procedure was carried out efficiently and painlessly.

Barbican Physio

I used this practice at short notice when I had sudden severe back pain about a week before Christmas. I was surprised that I could get an appointment the same day and am delighted with the results. After three sessions my back is so much better. Thoroughly recommend.

Midlands Women's Health

I arrived for my appointment as scheduled. While the receptionist was extremely helpful, the clinician failed to attend, resulting in the scan not taking place. This gave an unprofessional impression of the company.
