Mr Philip Stenhouse

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Thank goodness we found you! My son was born with torticollis and, as a result, always slept on one side. We had no idea this would lead to the flattening of his head, especially since no advice was provided post-birth. He was subsequently diagnosed with Plagiocephaly and a 15mm asymmetry (which is classed as moderate). We felt incredibly let down by the initial lack of guidance. While repositioning could have helped in those early weeks, by the time we realised there was an issue, too much time had passed to correct it without intervention. Navigating the next steps was difficult, as we were faced with a plethora of misinformation. We had several NHS and private consultations, but no one could categorically tell us that a helmet would fix it. The "party line" from the NHS is that they don’t work, but I can now categorically say that is simply not true! We initially met with a different helmet company but got cold feet when they couldn't guarantee the results, they estimated a "best-case" improvement of only 9mm. Following a discussion with Bassel Zebian, a Paediatric Neurosurgeon at King's College Hospital, he recommended we see Dr. Stenhouse at Ahead4babies. After discovering that two of our friends had also used them, we felt reassured enough to reach out. From the very first phone call, we were sold. They were clear about what to expect, answered all our questions, and confirmed they could get the asymmetry down to 0mm. Knowing the clinic is run by craniofacial surgeons gave us total peace of mind that we were in good hands. Dr. Stenhouse, who carried out our son’s treatment, is a Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon at King’s College Hospital. He is incredibly honest about expected outcomes and will not recommend a helmet if it isn't truly necessary. After the first meeting, you are given the space to digest the information and decide whether or not to proceed. This was a breath of fresh air compared to other companies that seem to focus more on profit than actual need. While other helmets might look "flashier," they often work by removing layers as the head grows. In my opinion, this is far less effective than Dr. Stenhouse’s approach, as he bespokely trims the inside of the helmet to accurately adapt to the head as it grows. Our son wore his helmet for 17 weeks in total. We eventually agreed it was time to stop at 1mm asymmetry rather than risk overcorrection. Throughout the process, the 24/7 WhatsApp support team was fantastic, making the entire journey incredibly smooth. To any parents in doubt, if your child has moderate or severe asymmetry and you are past the first 12 weeks where repositioning is most effective, get the helmet! It is extremely unlikely to improve significantly on its own. It is also VERY important that you take action early while their head is still soft to see faster results, ideally as soon as they can support their head (around 4–5 months). I hope this helps other parents navigating this process. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on social media. I’ll leave you with a picture of the result, one happy baby with a perfectly shaped head!

Clinical Psychology, Hypnotherapy, + 1 more

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Exceptional Experience at London Trusted Therapy, Harley Street My recent visit to London Trusted Therapy on Harley Street was an experience that genuinely stood out for its professionalism, warmth, and depth of care. From the moment I stepped inside, the environment felt calm and thoughtfully designed, creating a sense of safety that made it easy to settle in. The reception area was quiet, classy and elegant, and the overall atmosphere conveyed a level of respect and attentiveness that immediately put me at ease. What truly elevated the experience was my session with Dr. Olena Edwards. Her approach combines exceptional clinical expertise with a rare ability to connect on a human level. Throughout the session, she listened with genuine presence, care and offered insights that were both clear and deeply resonant. Dr. Edwards has a remarkable talent for explaining complex emotional patterns in a way that feels accessible and empowering. Rather than offering generic guidance, she tailored the conversation to my specific concerns, helping me understand not just what I was feeling, but why — and what meaningful steps I could take moving forward. It’s evident that she brings both skill and heart to her work, and that combination makes a profound difference. The setting itself further enhanced the experience. The clinic is beautifully maintained — discreet, peaceful, and spotless. It’s the kind of space where you can slow down, breathe, and focus entirely on yourself without distraction. That sense of privacy and comfort made it easier to open up and engage fully in the session, and it reflects the high standards the practice upholds. Dr. Edwards is exceptional in her field, and I have yet to meet anyone whose expertise and compassion surpass hers. She brings a rare combination of skill, sincerity, and genuine humanity to her work. Her passion for her craft is evident in every interaction, and she approaches each session with openness and heartfelt dedication. She is deeply committed to helping you understand your challenges and supporting you through them with clarity and care. Overall, my experience at London Trusted Therapy was outstanding. The combination of a serene setting, a highly professional team, and the exceptional care provided by Dr. Edwards creates a therapeutic environment that feels both modern and deeply human. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after some time, this clinic offers a level of support and expertise that truly stands out.

Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Griffiths was extremely informative during the initial consultation and very responsive to my questions which made it easy for me to make the decision to go ahead with the hip replacement and the type to go for with minimum invasive surgery. He instilled confidence from the outset. The only aspect which caused me some degree of anxiety was not knowing what type of anaesthesia to choose for the procedure, until just before the operation ( the first in my medical history). JG had indeed advised that this would be the case but, during the months leading up to the op, I spoke with a number of friends/relations who relayed a range of experiences and a number giving their advice. A few had had GA and more went the local epidural route, although one of the latter had experienced far too much consciousness in terms of what was going on. I had read up about both and the various pros and cons ( info provided very helpful in this regard) and came along on the day with an open mind to confer with the anaesthetist, complete with my music and earphones if needed. In fact, after speaking with him it was easy to choose to go the local anaesthesia route and he put my mind at rest that he could sedate me so that I would not be aware of the procedure. I never finished listening to the first track of my music playlist ( I made sure I didn't have it on shuffle - my younger brother did for his hip replacement only to randomly get the track "the first cut is the deepest" to listen to at the start!!) I came round in recovery and all was complete. In some ways I would have liked to have had an early discussion with the anaesthetist so that I had made my decision ahead of the procedure rather than pondering it for so long. However that is a small negative compared to the outcome of the hip replacement with which I am extremely pleased. I had no leg swelling to speak of, very manageable pain, off crutches in 10 days and yesterday after 6 weeks walked some 11km mostly cross country. ( Walking distance had been the major problem instigating my hip replacement as that/hiking is an important part of my life). This has far exceeded my expectations and I am looking forwards to getting back on the tennis doubles court after a further 6 weeks of exercising and physio. If and when the other hip needs doing, I would have no hesitation in returning to Mr Griffiths again. Many thanks to him and the team.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

This was my first colonoscopy procedure so I didn’t know what to expect and was quite anxious. Looking at the patient reviews on this site beforehand really helped me so I wanted to add my own comments here as well. The 2 day preparation for my late afternoon procedure (fasting and drinking the cleansing medication) was actually the worst part, however I followed the instructions and kept myself very hydrated throughout, that along with a couple of boiled sweets in the last couple of hours to stop the hunger pangs really helped. The clinic staff were all really friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived and talked me through the process throughout so I knew what to expect. I had sedation for the procedure itself which was completely painless, and I got the results quickly. At all times my wellbeing was prioritised by the staff, with 1 to 1 nursing and a very welcome drink and biscuit afterwards. Special thanks from me to Roberta and Dr Khan, and my aftercare nurse whose name I forgot (sorry!)

Mr Wassim Hassan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had a hysterectomy with Mr Wassim Hassan, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. He made me feel completely at ease throughout the process, thoroughly explained everything in detail, and was incredibly patient—when I didn’t quite grasp the medical terminology, he rephrased it in simple, everyday language that I could easily understand. His skill and care during the procedure were outstanding, and my recovery has been straightforward. I also want to recognise his assistant Marie—she was superb! Always responsive, helpful, and reassuring, which made coordinating appointments and dealing with any questions so much less stressful. The combination of Mr Hassan’s expertise and Marie’s fantastic support made what could have been a daunting time feel manageable and even positive. Thank you both so much—I couldn’t recommend Mr Hassan and his team highly enough.

I am so thrilled with my experience at Weymouth Street Hospital, London, after having had cataracts removed in both of my eyes, by Mr Hove of Blue Fin Vision. I can see clearly now, both distance and close up, reading, computer etc, etc.. ; no need for any glasses. Mr Hove is truly amazing - so caring, kind and professional. He explained everything to me in my assessment on Monday 8th December, in Chelmsford and actually had the operation in such a short time - Thursday 11th December! I am a new person now ! Doctor Carlos, the anesthetist, was also so kind and caring. I felt thoroughly at ease for my operation. Many, many thanks to everybody, including the kind nurse. My husband and I were both given a delicious meal afterwards, which was really appreciated - so welcome. Thank you very, very much for everything, everybody

General Surgery, Neurosurgery, + 6 more

I had a really positive experience staying at Nuffield Hospital. From admission to discharge, the staff were friendly, welcoming and kind. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, reassuring and helpful, which made a big difference during surgery and early recovery. Even when things were not perfect, such as not having a post-surgery bra in my exact size and sending me home in one that was a bit too big in the cups, the care and effort from the team never wavered. They handled everything with warmth, professionalism and good humour! Overall, I felt well looked after, respected and supported and I am very grateful to the staff who made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and manageable. 💗

The McIndoe Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, General Practice (GP), + 3 more

I have received nothing but the upmost care from all staff. The parking is simple on arrival and great to have disabled spaces immediately outside for collection post op! I have always been called through to my appointments on time and at times even earlier if I've arrived early myself. The staff that have stood out to me and taken wonderful care are Louise, Ruby, Jessie in the surgery department and Sandy in the post care department. Everywhere is always clean, with a warm welcome from reception. It's a lovely touch to use the drinks machine in the waiting area, the hot chocolate is delicious. I cannot fault any of my treatment or care by the Mcindoe staff, its exceptional.

Mr Robert Grounds

ENT Surgeon

Robert Grounds provided an exceptional initial consultation in respect of my ongoing balance issues following a stoke I suffered a year ago. His questioning to find out key areas of my background and relevance to balance issues was impressive. I was pleased that all initial balance tests were completed within the initial consultation and this left me with answers immediately to explain my condition. I was incredibly impressed to receive Robert Grounds full letter just a few hours later via. the portal with a detailed summary of his findings explained in very clear terms which was remarkable. Truly exceptional service from an amazing professional. Highly recommended.

Mr Allon Barsam

Ophthalmologist

The initial consultation, the surgery and followup appointments at OCL Vision were very professional and friendly. I was put at ease before and after the surgery. It could not have been smoother. Answers to questions on emails we dealt quickly and comprehensively. Mr Allon Barsam, my consultant, came highly recommended and I totally agree with all the positive feedback he receives. He was informative whilst not over complicating the information and was more than happy to answer all my questions pre and post surgery. I am very happy to no longer need contact lenses and glasses. All in all a very positive experience. I would highly recommend OCL Vision.

Dr Mehrdad Bordbar

General Practitioner

I had a private GP appointment with Dr Bordbar for an ultrasound-guided joint injection, and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The procedure was completely painless, which was a huge relief. The clinic was calm, comfortable, and immaculately clean, creating a very reassuring environment. Dr Bordbar was highly professional, took the time to explain each step clearly, and made me feel at ease throughout the appointment. I felt genuinely well cared for and confident in the treatment I received. I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering a joint injection.

Ms Seema Seetharam

This was my first visit to a breast clinic after a referral, and also my first experience of having an mammogram and ultrasound. The clinic kindly found me an alternative slot the same day after I was unable to make the original appointment. Ms Seema Seetharam and the team I saw were all highly professional, approachable and kind. They answered my questions and gave me accessible information to help my understanding. They made a potentially very stressful experience much less stressful and I'm very grateful.
