Anaesthetics, Vascular Surgery, + 32 more

The hospital was very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The procedure staff were particularly nice and professional. I was very happy with the procedure and the level of professionalism and also good bedside manner. One/two areas which could be improved if you are interested : 1. Pre-procedure information suggested an overall time from entry to release of approx 2hrs. With a 6pm admission time, I assumed I could arrange a collection for 8.30pm with some time to spare. However, on arrival, after approx 1hr 15mins it became apparent that the admission time of 6pm was a general time for 3 patients to be admitted and seen that evening between 6-9pm. I happened to be patient no.2, so was seen around 7.30 and released around 9, meaning I could not use the lift arranged (my wife &kids were ok til then, but not after). This then presented me with a choice of either taxi home or to ask someone at short notice to come and collect me. Had I known the range of procedure/release times in advance, I would have arranged a different, more appropriate, lift from the start. This leads to point no.2 2. I was not made aware of the choice on whether to have sedative or not. The literature states "you will be given a sedative" not that you have a choice. After the delay above, this then created a difficulty whereby if I took the sedative, I could not legally be released to an unknown taxi driver and would have to arrange another lift at short notice or not take the sedative. I opted to not take the sedative. Had I known this option was there, I could have driven myself to and from the appointment. It also would have saved my wife and kids spending time in the car on a busy evening. In connection with this, during the appointment, it sounded like release/recovery after the sedative was likely to be several hours, so release before 10-11pm was unlikely from the start and it was always probably going to be later if I took the sedative. Please don't take the above as criticism, just highlighting that making the choice on sedative clear would have allowed me to more easily plan both my transport. Also providing a bit more detail on the admission/procedure time range and release time range would have allowed me to more easily arrange appropriate transport. Basically, more information would have made things a bit easier is all

Harley Clinic

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 1 more

Some unfortunate circumstances meant I had to change surgeons a few weeks before my surgery was booked in. This was quite unsettling and it took me a few times of meeting Dr Agha to feel comfortable. What I realise now is that whilst I was initially put off by his questioning I now realise that this was part of his thorough approach to his work and part of ensuring that I was provided with all the information. Taking so much time to explain the procedure, this risks and uncertainties and asking questions was part of a transparent approach which allowed trust building. Dr Agha changed the plan I had with my original surgeon (fleur de lis) to an extended tummy tuck and I am so happy he did. I am thrilled with the results. My scar is very thin, well placed and I had a very smooth recovery process. I would recommend Dr Agha to anyone wanting a transparent, realistic and honest surgeon who wants the best results achievable for his patients.

Loughview Health

General Practice (GP)

This was my first visit to this lovely private GP practice. Lots of parking and ground floor facility was the first tick. Lovely big bright windows another tick creating brightness in what is usually not available in most other medical establishments. No sooner on the door I was greeted with smiles and courtesy from the lovely, friendly receptionists who welcomed me and offered me refreshments. Plenty of books and magazines if I wanted but didn't need them as I was taken at my exact appointment time, another big tick. My GP, Dr Fiona Moore came out to greet me and as I'd completed an online form with my reason for attending she was on the ball with what was required. She was so relaxed and friendly I felt like I'd known her for a long time and I felt at ease answering any questions. Having examined me she knew what the issue was and reassured me. Overall a brilliant experience.

Dr Elpiniki Chronopoulou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Chronopoulou has been an incredible consultant for us as we underwent IVF stimulation and a frozen embryo transfer at CRGH Great Portland St Clinic (with which we are now pregnant after the first transfer). She went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for during the process and would highly recommend her to anyone! She also pointed out things to be about my overall health that were totally missed by my GP and hospital referrals over the years regarding my hormone deficiency impact on my bone health for which I am extremely grateful to her for.

Dr Syed Afzal Sohaib

Cardiologist

Diagnosis clearly and professionally explained. Tried medication first and then carried out the procedure as symptoms continued. Again, very clearly explained and I was well prepared and knew what to expect. Pre and post procedure care were also both excellent. Whilst too early to tell conclusively, the procedure went as planned with very little discomfort and symptoms have so far ceased. Not necessarily an experience I would choose but given the necessity, everything went very well and I was made to feel very comfortable throughout.

Dr Hisam Siddiqi

Haematologist

I was referred for CT due to some shadowing in my gum. Dr Siddiq was very calming and explained the whole process thoroughly so i knew what to expect when i went for the CT as i am claustrophobic . When the results came through , Dr Siddiq went through this with me so i could easily understand everything and was happy for me to question anything i was unsure about . He also explained the next steps i should expect and was very reassuring , which made the whole process so much easier and less stressful.

New Victoria Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), Pain Management, + 26 more

The New Vic --- now known as the 'BUPA New Victoria' --- is a smallish but excellent private hospital situated just off the A3 between Wimbledon and Kingston. It has recently been enlarged and its large Reception is now most welcoming. So far as I know, the rooms are all of the ground floor and overlook well-maintained gardens. Surgical procedures that my family and I have had at the New Vic over the last thirty years have all been trouble-free and successful.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

Mr Avis has been so thorough and responsive to the issues. He immediately did multi level investigation to separate my shoulder from my wrist issues and literally sorted out the injections into my shoulder on the day I was there. I was so impressed. He is also very pragmatic about the options and empowering to the patient giving all the information to make an informed choice. The hospital orator is beautiful - spotless and all the team are fabulous.

Nightingale Hospital

Nursing, Nutrition, + 2 more

The team on the OCD ward incredibly kind caring and compassionate. It's like being part of a family, including the other 5 patients here. Although, it was challenging at times, I've learnt so much about my condition and I now realise that my beliefs does not necessarily mean it's true. If you're suffering with OCD and feel like you're alone or you have nowhere else to turn to, I highly recommend the Nightingale's 28 day inpatient stay.

Harley Street Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

The team at Harley Street Hearing are well organized and friendly. They also communicate and reach out well with their 'Hear Say' newsletter which contains useful information to support people with hearing loss. They also hold networking events so we can meet and be inspired by others that are also experiencing hearing loss. They have built a constructive supportive community.

Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital

Cardiology, Chemical Pathology, + 9 more

Excellent service! Thank you! The below is not to do with Dr Surpriya B an all. Just a recommendation for Nuffield in general please - Just need to ensure blood tests results are being transferred to the NHS GP records appropriately. If the logistical dynamics of this could be sorted where results can link to the nhs app too, everything would be spot on!

Mr Hugh Jewsbury

Ophthalmologist

I suffer with anxiety so was scared on the day but the one nurse stayed with me and did really make me feel safe and well looked after. My mam found it stressful when ringingbthe number she was given she was left on hold 9 mins none tmcame back to phone while I was still in theatre so we knocked on door to get answer we stressful scary for her.

Associate Professor Alex Day

Ophthalmologist

I was welcomed and guided throughout by his assistant Aurelia Larca a very pleasant and competent young lady who made me feel at home within the clinical surroundings, as a preamble to meeting Prof.Alex Day who had been recommended to me by a neighbour and who provided indeed a very matter of fact explanation/suggestion as to my operation.

Dr. Abdul Ashish

General (Internal) Medicine, Respiratory Doctor

This was our fourth visit with Dr.Ashish. He takes time to put you at ease and explain everything. He was very clear and made sure we understood all options and the consistency of seeing the same consultant each time means valuable time is not wasted going over history at each visit. Overall a well worthwhile expense.

Mr Ngwe Phyo

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The foot has healed very well and Mr Phyo was delighted with the result. X-Rays and examination confirmed that the operation was a great success. My experience with Circle Reading has been fantastic. Felt like the medical equivalent of a 5-star luxury hotel in terms of how I was treated by the medical staff.

Miss Alexandra Cope

General Surgeon

Dr Cope was very professional and very caring in explaining the procedure to me and the risks. Her follow up after the operation allowed me the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers. Care at FPH was, as always, excellent. Two ward Members Marc and Ash, were very caring.
