Edinburgh GP

Dermatology, General Practice (GP), + 1 more

Be mindful if you are traveling through Edinburgh or are an international resident before selecting this practice. I split my time between New York and Edinburgh for the festival seasons, and made an appointment to carry over a prescription not covered by the NHS. Because Dr Merrie did not recognize the prescription format used by my American doctor, she attempted to report me to the NHS for forgery. My NHS GP was very embarrassed to ask me about the accusation, but was legally bound to. He seemed to think she didn’t understand the level of severity and scrutiny her accusation would incur, as I had sent his practice the same prescriptions and they are in the standard format used in the US. I assumed at a well regarded GP, especially a private one, every doctor would have the advanced education to understand both international and local medicine, but to be flippant in making a serious claim - I can’t trust the ability to make sound decisions. It’s a shame, the reception staff are attentive and kind and I felt Dr Merrie was thoughtful in our sessions. But now I’d have to recommend Nuffield Health if you need help outside the NHS - I’ve had no problem at Nuffield with their understanding of international medicine, perhaps because many of them are expats too.

Abbington House

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

My time at Abbington house has been truly life saving and life changing for not only myself but for my family and my missus. I cannot begin to explain how much love is in this building. How safe you feel here. For the first time in my life I have been surrounded by the people who understand me and don’t judge who I am. The staff here are truly amazing people from being greeted by Niall who is such a sound guy with an amazing story. To seeing Ben and Emily around here full of life, who are always available at any moment to help you if you’re in need. Big John fm is the coolest cat there is and such a lovely bloke. And these are just the support staff. The therapists are second to none. Costa is a man I will trust and adore for the rest of my life, he has instilled in me skills that I can use for the rest of my life. I owe him everything. My house mates are something I thought would be a different story. I thought in here I would keep myself to myself. But I’ve ended up making brothers and sisters, and people I regard as best friends. My time at Abbington will never be forgotten. Thank you guys.

Mr Ahmed Ahmed

General Surgeon

My feedback on the care I have received from Professor Ahmed following my diagnosis of Superior Mesenteric Syndrome. My clinical course has been complex. I initially experienced some improvement following his management plan, however my symptoms recurred which is none of he’s fault. Us as individuals have to take a risk and unfortunately there may be other problems that have risen. What I wish to highlight is Professor Ahmed’s continued commitment to my care. Despite the challenging nature of the condition, he has remained proactive, arranging further investigations and ongoing reviews to identify the underlying cause of my deterioration. At no point have I felt discharged or dismissed. Consultations have been thorough, unrushed, and he has taken care to explain each step of the diagnostic process in terms I can understand. His clinical expertise is matched by his diligence in follow-up. I would have no hesitation in recommending Professor Ahmed to other patients with complex gastrointestinal conditions requiring specialist input.

Professor Kefah Mokbel

Breast Surgeon

I recently underwent breast reduction surgery, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care and expertise provided by Professor Mokbel. From the very first consultation, the whole team were professional, attentive, and understanding of my concerns. Prof Mokbel and his associates took the time to explain the procedure in detail, including the risks, recovery process, and expected results, which made me feel informed and reassured. On the day of the surgery, at the Princess Grace Hospital, the surgeon and their team were calm, efficient, and incredibly supportive. The procedure itself went smoothly, and the post-operative care was excellent. I was given clear guidance on recovery, and any questions I had along the way were answered promptly and thoroughly. Not only has the surgery improved my physical comfort, especially the relief of long-standing back and shoulder pain, but it has also had a positive impact on my confidence and self-worth. The outcome looks natural and has been executed with great skill and attention to detail.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

It was a thoroughly positive experience ... starting with prompt attention from all staff as soon as I entered the building, including front entrance (directions to cumberledge ward) and ward support people (escorting to room). I was pleasantly surprised to have my own ensuite room for the duration as a day surgery patient and a meal post op. Nursing staff were attentive, friendly and professional including explaining next steps and timings. I appreciated the opthalmic surgeon popping in beforehand, it was reassuring. The theatre staff were friendly and efficient, and the whole operation experience was brilliant. Thanks to the expertise and skill of the consultants, Mr Bhermi the surgeon plus the anaesthetist, I experienced almost no discomfort throughout and am very pleased indeed with outcomes. Their talents are impressive. A human touch during proceedings was also a welcome ingredient.

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I had RLE surgery Oct 25 with Consultant Jonathan Ross. I returned to VS Edinburgh after my eye recovered, for Vitrectomy on both eyes for floaters 7 weeks apart March/April 26 with Consultant Shohista Saidkasimova. My initial appointment with the Optician Sept 25 in VS Edinburgh, was most informative when she clearly explained to me the outcome I could expect with my personal eye prescription. I found this most helpful on making my decision. Deciding to travel from Aberdeenshire to VS Edinburgh was well worth the journey for a private 5 star patient experience. I now have the optimal outcomes for my personal vision that seemed unimaginable 5 years ago. Thanks to everyone involved in the professional friendly care I received on all my visits to Vision Scotland Edinburgh.

Mr Jonathan Larholt

Podiatrist

I had been experiencing pain from corns on the sides of my feet before seeing Mr. Larholt, which made sport activities and even simple dog walks challenging. A previous doctor I saw last year only proposed surgery, which involved a three week recovery period which didn’t fit my work and social schedule. I decided to endure the pain for another year until I consulted again this time with Mr. Larholt, hoping for a non-surgical solution. He was very attentive and understood my needs. During the consultation, he used a small blade to remove the hard skin, which provided immediate and significant relief. I would gladly choose to have this procedure done regularly instead of having surgery. I highly recommend Mr. Larholt to anyone seeking a similar outcome.

Dr. Saadia Arshad

Psychiatrist

I recently visited Dr Saadia Arshad to help understand more about my child and how life is different for him, she was incredibly understanding and helpful about the matter. My child had Autism, and he was bright but he was intentionally underperforming in school, Dr Saadia helped me look at it from his point of view and really helped him with the problems he was facing. Ever since the appointment with her in Harley Street I have felt that my connections and experiences with my son have been more positive and have really improved our family health. Please visit Dr Saadia with any problems of the sort, she really is a one of a kind doctor.

Makewell MK

Allergy Medicine, Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, + 8 more

My daughter attended Makewell to discuss medication following a diagnosis of ADHD. She was nervous beforehand but Carolynne, the clinician, really put her at ease with her warm and friendly manner. She took time to answer all of our questions and knew exactly how to give my daughter the information without overwhelming her. The setting was wonderful - both the clinic itself and the surrounding grounds, with the horses. I would definitely recommend Maewell, I cannot fault the service we received at all.

Mr Aris Konstantopoulos

Ophthalmologist

I couldnt recommend Aris enough. From the first consulation, he explained everything clearly and anwered any concerns I had. He has a way of making something that is scary to most people, not sound scary at all, so much so that on the day I was more excited to get the surgery done, than nervous! And it really doesnt hurt! Aris is friendly and approachable whilst maintaining professionalism and I was reassured throughout the procedure. Would highly recommend!

Dr Marco Spartera

Cardiologist

I chose Dr. Spartera, because my heart condition is more appropriate to Dr. Spartera speciality in heart failure. Dr.Spartera was welcoming and reasurring. Very professional and kind. I felt at ease and confident I was seeing a Consultant Cardiologist for my recent diagnoses of heart failure. Dr. Spartera explained very well all the clinical procedures and medications I needed. I feel very reasurred I am receiving the best of care. Thank you Dr. Spartera.

Professor Amtul Carmichael

General Surgeon

Only have positive feedback on Professor Carmichael and her well chosen professional team from first diagnosis to surgery with a three week period. I have been well informed all the way with a clear plan but knowledge that plans may change as more information becomes available. For what is a very scary experience I have been made to feel calm and in control. The care that Professor Carmichael and her team show is absolutely first class

Mr Adrian Lee

Osteopath

I was a professional wrestler for 10 years and I’ve suffered severe back pain and accumulated a lot of injuries over the years. I tried a lot of different treatments/therapy and nothing seemed to fix the issues. Adrian took the time to really understand what my issues were and has essentially given me a new lease of life. He treats his clients as individuals and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

I had a very positive experience during my Gastroscopy. The staff were kind, professional, and explained everything clearly throughout the process. I felt well looked after from the start, including the cannulation by Manju, through to the endoscopy procedure and an excellent care received from recovery staff .Thank you to the entire team Including Mr Kumar for their amazing care.

The Pure Practice

Physiotherapy

A few of my appointments started late, and a few also over ran. While it could be frustrating it wasn't because each appointment felt focused on my rehabiliation not a strict time slot. The descriptions of the exercises that were shared after each session were really helpful and I could have on my phone screen as I was putting them into practice at home

Spire Healthcare Abergele Clinic

The clinic is conveniently located off the A55 and in a quiet area of Abergele. The facilities were spotless and even provided complimentary coffee/tea/hot chocolate while you wait. I was able to get into my appointment early, which was a nice surprise, since you usually end up waiting a long time at so many medical facilities.
