Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

would like to make a complaint following an IPL treatment I had on 21/01/26. I had a consultation with Dr Branka and a subsequent telephone conversation with Krupa. I repeatedly asked this whether was risk of my symptoms being exacerbated by the treatment. I was repeatedly reassured that this would not happen. I had email exchanges with Krupa where she assured me repeatedly that the greatest reaction that I would get would be mild reddening around the eye lid for 30 mins. I had explained that I had a job interview the following day and was advised that would not be any reaction or issue. I was reassured both by email and in person on the day. My skin had a significant reaction to the procedure. The possibility of such a reaction to such a procedure had never been explained or even suggested. On meeting Dr Branka post procedure, she told me that my eyes weren’t dry, and in fact were significantly better. She said the tear break up was 7 seconds and that there had been an improvement, however I would like a second opinion on this, as they feel dryer and are visibly red, whereas they were not immediately beforehand. The visibly look and feel much worse than prior to the procedure. I completely feel like I’m being fobbed off. When I said to Dr Branka that I was not made aware of the risks she cheerfully old me that I signed the consent form and that of course there is the possibility of this reaction particularly with my very think skin. I was completely unaware that I had thin skin or that there could have been such a complication which would exacerbate my skin and eye problems. I explained that had a risk of this IPL been ‘worsening of dry eye symptoms, worsening of ocular rosacea/ rosacea’ I would have NEVER had the procedure. Dr Branka just said of course there was a risk and told me it happens in those people with rosacea. This had NEVER been mentioned in the consultation prior to the procedure. My eyes were not significantly bothersome prior to the treatment, I did it as a preventative to improve the gland and to avoid the dry eye disease progressing. When I asked Dr Branka what next in terms of how I manage this now worse situation she said that I can only use cotton flannels and saline as I am reactive to most things. She has told me I need to pay privately for a dermatologist for advice. This is not only causing me health problems but costing me money to resolve this. I have already spent over £700 for the consultation with dr Branka and the procedure! I am left anxious, distressed and upset by this experience and the ongoing problems. It has caused further issues with my skin. The rosacea was not posing a problem prior to the IPL and while I had been prescribed Soolantra and Azealic acid I had not needed to take them as I was not experiencing a flare up. I do not know where to go now for help, advice or to resolve this issue. I am really upset as my eyes and skin have worsened as a result and I am left alone to deal with it or pay out for help to try to correct it. Again, to reiterate, I would never have had IPL if I had known there was any risk of worsening symptoms. This was never explained, even when I explicitly asked initially. Dr Branka from from the outset said I was a good candidate but I needed to check with a dermatologist due to family skin cancer. I had checked this and the dermatologist said it would not be a problem from the perspective of skin cancer. I would like another opinion. I would like advice treatment and next steps. Not from dr Branka as all faith has gone.

Hiba first treated me for quite a serious ankle injury. From my very first session, I immediately felt comfortable and supported by her warm and friendly presence. This injury was extremely hard for me, as it meant I could not play my favourite sport, football, which was really tough both physically and mentally. However, each week my session with Hiba became the highlight of my week. Not only is she an excellent physio who guided me through a quick, safe, and thorough recovery, but she also took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I always understood what we were working on. She never rushed me and always listened to how I was feeling, which made me feel truly cared for. On top of that, she has an amazing sense of humour, which really helped lift my spirits and made even the hardest rehab sessions enjoyable. After recovering from my ankle injury, I unfortunately injured my knee. Without hesitation, I knew I wanted Hiba to treat me again. Having already been through a tough recovery with her, I trusted her completely and felt reassured knowing I was in excellent hands throughout the process. During my knee rehab, she was just as supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging, constantly motivating me to keep going even when it was challenging. Thanks to Hiba’s expertise, patience, and genuine care, I was able to regain my confidence and get back to playing football, the sport I love. I could not recommend her highly enough to anyone needing physiotherapy. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients.

Mr Andrew Scott

Ophthalmologist

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care I received. From the very first appointment, with Dr Scott. He demonstrated not only extraordinary surgical skill but also a level of compassion and reassurance that made an overwhelming situation feel manageable. When my vision was at risk, Dr Scott took quick action. He explained every step clearly, and treated me with genuine kindness and respect. His calm confidence gave me hope at a time when I was frightened about the future. His calm manner and compassionate approach made what could have been a very stressful experience feel safe and supported. The standard of care provided was outstanding, and his attention to both medical excellence and patient wellbeing truly sets him apart. We felt listened to, respected, and cared for throughout the entire process. The surgery itself was nothing short of life‑changing. Thanks to his expertise and meticulous attention to details and very steady hands , my sight was saved — something I will be grateful to Dr Scott and God for every single day. My daugher often calls Dr Scott a "Unicorn" he is a rare combination of brilliance and compassion. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been under his care, and I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking the very best in eye care. If it were possible to give 10 stars, I absolutely would. Dr Andrew Scott is an exceptional surgeon and a credit to his profession. Many thanks for looking after my eyes. May Continue to Bless You Anne-Marie

Mr Tony Jacob

ENT Surgeon

After a year of back and forward to various different hospitals and appointments and symptoms being ignored, I finally and thankfully was seen by Mr Jacob. He was very professional, friendly and most importantly saw and heard my concerns. I got answers and was booked in for surgery. I had a very enlarged thyroid with numerous nodules that had previously been missed by other consultants and my symptoms absolutely debilitating. During surgery Mr Jacob found my thyroid had also grown around the back of neck so took a little longer. I felt great after my surgery, Mr Jacob came to see me the next morning and I was kept in updated of what was going to happen throughout and after the surgery. I had no questions unanswered and felt very cared for. Im extremely grateful that Mr Jacob was my surgeon and would highly recommend him. My scar is barely noticeable only two months later and my healing was fairly easy - thanks to Mr Jacob my procedure was a great success!

Newmedica Grimsby

Ophthalmology

Mum was almost blind wearing really thick glasses, and couldn't see at all without them. She had a few complications with her eyes but Dr Stewart and team endeavoured to give her as much sight back as possible, even if just slight. After her cataracts surgery on the 'good' eye, she is like a new woman. At nearly 78yrs old, mum doesn't need to wear her glasses for the first time since she was young. She can see clearer and further away. Close up is still difficult but we trust that after both eyes are done, and potentially glasses again with alot less prescription, she will be able to see so much better. She's had no pain or anything. The drs were brilliant and we can't thank them enough. This is the best thing to have happened to mum who was petrified to get her eyes done. She says he is the best Dr I have ever seen and I'm so happy.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

All staff, from reception to nurses and surgeons, I found to be friendly, courteous, helpful and professional. I was generally rather nervous about the whole process, this being the very first time I experienced any form of surgery or a stay in hospital. However, I was treated with the utmost respect and understanding and felt well advised at all times, allowing me to make informed decisions at my own pace, without being pressured. I had to wait a bit longer than I had anticipated for surgery but by comparison to the NHS, it was efficient and slick. It is early days to comment properly on my shoulder replacement but things are progressing well although slowly and I am hopeful for the future.

I loved all the staff that took care of me. I was very well looked after. My only small complaint was the lady that brought the food around kept leaving my door open and blocked half the TV and at one point my partner was helping me on the toilet with the bathroom door open and she walked in to ask if we wanted a cup of tea then left my room door open so anyone in the hall way could see me on the toilet, he was holding me up so couldn't go and close the door right away which made me feel a little bit conscious. Other than that the care staff were amazing surgeon and anaesthetist were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hospital.

I went as an NHS referral for cataracts and they explained about the various options for both NHS and private. As I work full time and do a lot of computer work I decided to pay to have Rayone Galaxy toric lenses. I am so pleased with the result. After wearing glasses since early teens I am now glasses free! Mr Injarie and all the staff at the clinic were friendly and professional and made you feel at ease. Mr Injarie took time to explain everything and obviously is a brilliant surgeon. I can't thank them enough. I was so nervous about having eye surgery but from start to finish I felt in very safe hands. I would highly recommend.

Dr Aisan Ghaemian

Psychologist

Dr. Aisan is very kind and respectful person. She helped me understand my ADHD with so much compassion and clarity, rather than judgment. The way she normalised my experiences and explained how my brain works has been incredibly relieving. I feel more accepting of myself and more confident in finding strategies that actually work for me. She didn’t just focus on difficulties, but also helped me recognise my strengths and patterns. The strategies we worked on were realistic, flexible, and genuinely suited to how my brain functions. I now feel more organised, less overwhelmed, and far kinder to myself.

Although the appointment wasn't satisfactory for me because the doctor couldn't give me a second opinion on my back and neck pain since his specialty is lower extremities, he sent me for updated MRI exams so he could give me a responsible and accurate second opinion on my knee and ankle. I emailed the doctor and am waiting for him to reply with his diagnosis from the previous appointment so I can provide my employer with the information they need to continue helping me with the MRI costs and get positive results that will allow me to go to work without any health risks. Thank you very much.

Mr Ashwin Unnithan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Unnithan replaced my right hip in November at Ashford Hospital. The operation and the care given by the staff at Ashford was first rate and as a result, my recovery has been faster than I'd expected. The only problem has been an injury to my right foot and ankle sustained somehow during my time in hospital, which may now limit the pace of my recovery. Mr Unnithan has provided kind and clear support and advice on how to approach rehabilitation physio and a return to sport.

The care shown by the whole team, from the Anaesthetist, Consultant, Theatre team, Nursing staff, to the lovely ladies who delivered tea and biscuits, was exemplary. I felt very cared for by everyone who was part of my admission, which made a stressful experience so much easier. A particular shout out to the lovely Donna, who went above and beyond with her kindness and support. Thank you Spire, you felt like a very safe pair of hands.

Mr Lucas Attwood

Physiotherapist

Lucas has been brilliant to work with. He’s easy to talk to, really listens, and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. Sessions never feel rushed, and he always knows how to get to the root of whatever’s going on. I’ve noticed real improvement since seeing him, and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. Definitely someone I’d recommend.

Mr Rakesh Choudhary

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Hip surgery went very well. You made me calm. I was very nervous before operation. Before the operation, I had very limited movements in my hip and constant pain. I returned home same day of surgery. Since the surgery, my range of movements has significantly improved. No joint pain. I have returend to desk baded work in 4-5 days without any problem

Mr Vijay Wagh

Ophthalmologist

I had a very positive experience with the doctor, asked many thoughtful questions, and carried out detailed examinations to fully understand my situation. I felt genuinely listened to and well cared for throughout the appointment. Professional and attentive approach was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Mr Vijay Wagh

Mr Ameet Gupta

Urologist

The whole of the staff were incredibly lovely and we received 10/10 service. Mr Ameet Gupta was amazing and super informative and reassuring. He was super understanding and talked me through every step of the process to help me get better and any further treatments and procedures. Thank you so much!
