My consultant Hugh O’Kane was so lovely excellent communication skills empathy and he listened to me , which some consultants would need to have a refresher course on dealing with patients. The anaesthetist ( sorry i can’t remember his name an Indian gentleman again so lovely) and the nurses in theatre were all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the sedation was not great effect but got through. Recovery nurse Alex’s was very attentive & had a very caring way . Transferred to ward 3 Bernadette the nurse and Sinead & Sarah ( hopefully I have the correct names) all excellent A really lovely friendly member of the catering team Gillian came to see if I would like something to eat at that time I did not , but she Came k later to check & made the most delicious toasted sandwich. I had buzzed for the nurse as I was in a lot of pain behind my left knee she gave me liquid paracetamol, the pain got worse i asked for the compression stocking to be removed, the problem was that the stocking had not been pulled up straight and therefore it had “ marked my ankle very deeply “ with the result that the circulation would have been effected. My leg felt “Dead or asleep “ I felt afraid but the staff where lovely, Hugh came to see me around 8.30 pm had a conversation with my son in England and the plan was to stay (but before this they where happy to let me go home Kelly the manager came to speak to me as this was no fault of mine they I asked “in a scenario such as mine was there not a plan B in place “ to which she responded “0 yes and a plan b c & d “ ) So thankfully the outcome was resolved, I was to stay Hugh would see me in the morning. The night staff Keira & a girl called you I’m think the other health care assistant was Sharon hopefully this is correct but all excellent care. Hugh came in to see me just after 7am very attentive,examined my leg, I said that the pain was not as severe as the night before & I was happy to go home, “to which he replied if your happy so am I “ ( if only more consultants had his way ) he said I was not to worry re the financial situation re the over night stay Over all I am glad that we resolved the situation.

Cleveland Clinic London

Vascular Surgery, Anaesthetics, + 10 more

had a right knee replacement with Mr. Sam Rajaratnam just over two weeks ago on 3rd November 2025, and what I had feared would be a difficult and painful operation turned out to be completely painless. Sam is extremely kind, patient and reassuring — perfect for someone as nervous as I was. I had delayed doing this surgery for a year and a half and even cancelled the operation twice before finally going through with it! Mr. Rajaratnam has built an outstanding team, including an exceptionally experienced anaesthetist, Dr. Barry Philips; a kind and highly competent nurse consultant, Ms. Christine Howis; and an excellent senior physiotherapist, Felicitas Gatti, who visits me at home to guide my post-operative exercises. I was also extremely impressed by all the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic hospital, who provided exceptional care throughout my stay. Whilst at the Cleveland, Sam visited me daily, and even came in today after my staples were removed to check on my progress. Mr. Rajaratnam’s expertise is evident—he has performed over 7,000 knee replacements—and the level of care and support I received was extraordinary. I was expecting a significant increase in pain once the stronger medication stopped a week after surgery, but to my surprise, I remained completely pain-free. I am extremely grateful to Sam and his wonderful team. I’ll be back for my other knee as soon as I’m up and running again!

Mr Delukshan Rajah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Rajah was extremely thorough. A complete gentleman from beginning to end. Explained in great detail the process I was in, what stage of the process I was at, what’s coming next, then the surgery and the recovery process. He was the most personable Consultant ive ever met. Most it seems are trying to get you in and out asap. Mr Rajah, knowing he was behind schedule and knowing by my body language that I had questions to ask, made sure I asked anything I was uncertain about. The pinnacle of professionalism. Knowing that it’s him will be operating on me put me at ease. I’ve twins at 9yo and to be honest the anaesthetic was worrying me, but now I feel better about it. You wait a long time on getting surgery, but when it arrives all the apprehension arrives along with it but I’m more settled that it’s himself. If this gets back to Mr Rajah, I’d met Consultants and Doctors over the years and I’m sorry to say I felt like a number where 99% where concerned, please don’t ever lose that empathy with the patient Mr Rajah, it’s the one thing that people can see that gives us a reassurance.

Mr Henry Atkinson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am a very active 51 year old man and Mr Atkinson fixed my medial meniscus tear which had been obstructing movement in my leg. After 8 weeks I am back swimming, practicing Yoga 5 times a week (all poses including deep squats and child pose) and I also started kick boxing again. I will be training jiu jitsu again in a week's time. I also climbed the stairs at Highgate tube station this week - all 100 of them - without any pain or locking. I had a very good experience with Mr Atkinson. From initial to final consultation I was very happy with the care given to me. In fact my girlfriend who is also a doctor was very impressed by Mr Atkinson's knowledge on a variety of questions she asked. He was very accommodating of her as well allowing her to talk to him on the phone and with me in my final consultation. I want to thank Mr Atkinson for putting me forward for this care, without this I would be struggling with my physical activities and now I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much.

CP+R

Cardiology, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I signed up for CP&R almost 6 months ago and have never looked back. The service has been excellent, communication fast and efficient and both extremely professional and friendly at the same time. The CP&R staff are extremely well trained and experienced and very easy to get on with. Their support throughout my rehabilitation has been brilliant and I certainly wouldn't be in the position I am in now if it wasn't for the whole team. I have been able to call upon advice form the physio team and cardiac nurse and every time they have been very supportive and helpful. My coach, Chloe, has been with me every step of the way and has seen me through the good and bad times, her support and enthusiasm has been fantastic and I can't thank her enough for all her hard work during my rehabilitation. I cannot recommend CP&R enough and would urge everyone to look into their services, they have certainly aided my recovery beyond what I thought was possible.

Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid

Urologist

Mr Abou-Chedid performed my radical robotic prostatectomy, and I feel extremely fortunate to have been under his care. He is a genuinely kind and approachable consultant who combines the highest levels of professionalism with a warm, compassionate manner. He explained everything clearly and patiently, ensuring I fully understood and answering every question. His focus is not only on removing the cancer but also on achieving the best possible long-term quality of life for his patients. Thanks to his outstanding surgical skill and expertise, my operation was a complete success: the cancer was entirely removed with clear margins, and I have experienced no incontinence and no impairment of sexual function. I cannot recommend or thank Mr Abou-Chedid highly enough.

Spire Cheshire Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Breast Surgery, + 17 more

I had a really positive experience at the hospital during my recent surgery. From the moment I arrived, everything was organised, calm, and reassuring. The staff at every stage — reception, nursing, surgical, and aftercare — were friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. The hospital itself was clean, comfortable, and well-run. I felt safe and well looked after throughout my stay. Any questions I had were answered clearly, and the team always made sure I understood what was happening and what to expect next. Overall, my experience couldn’t have been better. The care, communication, and compassion shown by everyone truly stood out. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and would highly recommend this hospital to anyone needing treatment.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

The overall experience was excellent. As an NHS patient I felt I waited too long which affected my mental health and mobility, this wait has impacted on my recovery. I would have waited even longer if I hadn’t gone to my GP and asked for my operation to be escalated. The whole process took six months of physio initial NHS xray took a further 5 months to see the consultant then a further 4 and a half months for op. This has been a nightmare. I am however extremely appreciative of my operation and the treatment I have received during my stay at Hoarders. Also on the discharge sheet I was given a number to call for worries and questions once I got home this number was however not answered and my answer phone message was not called back.

Ms Laura Ismail

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Ms. Laura Ismail. She is by far the most exceptional gynaecologist I have ever met. From the moment I walked into her clinic, she made me feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. She listens with such patience, explains everything clearly, and treats you with a level of compassion that is rare to find. Her expertise is undeniable, but what makes her truly special is her kindness and the way she makes you feel completely at ease. I left my appointment feeling reassured, supported, and deeply thankful. Ms. Laura is a genuinely outstanding doctor, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Mr Edward Lee

Ophthalmologist

I saw Mr. Lee for an eye issue and was absolutely impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and patient approach. Especially after a disappointing experience with another consultant, Mr. Lee’s clear and concise explanations immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly thorough, reassuring, and attentive to all my concerns. I left feeling completely confident in his care and would not hesitate to see him again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lee to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and exceptional consultant.

Mr Prasad Patki

Urologist

I had a nephrectomy by Mr Patki in September. From the first visit I felt very trusting of his expertise and felt put at ease by his confidence. My recent experience was very mentally tolling due to a shocking diagnosis of cancer at such a young age. Mr Patki however made that experience more bearable and Gauri his PA was exceptional and one of the best I have ever encountered. No query was too much trouble. I cannot thank Mr Patki and his team enough for their expertise and the support you have given my family.

Mr Lachlan Carter

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Lachlan Carter. He carried out a very thorough examination and took the time to clearly explain my condition in a way that was easy to understand. His professionalism and attention to detail gave me great confidence, and I truly appreciated how patient and reassuring he was throughout the consultation. Dr. Carter’s ability to combine medical expertise with clear communication makes him an outstanding doctor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking quality care.

Dentistry @ Oceana Boulevard

Dental Care, Dentistry

As I am severely claustrophobic/cleithrophobic, being in a dentist's chair has traditionally been mega difficult. I have been going to this practice for some years now and they have never failed to be genuinely supportive, kind, pragmatic, responsive to my needs. They have given excellent dental care throughout despite me being a blooming awkward patient! If you are fearful of dentists for whatever reason, I would encourage you to contact these guys, they can be trusted to help.

Professor Waqas Ullah

Cardiologist

My appointment was a scheduled telephone call. Professor Ullah had read my medical history and clearly detailed options for the next stage of treatment. He responded to my questions and passed on the Cadiology help line number for further details and answers to any further question. He will copy me the letter he will send to my GP. The discussion was not rushed and I will now review the options and determine my preferred option.

Paediatric Diagnostics

Gastroenterology, Diagnostics & Testing, + 5 more

We were welcomed nicely. Offered a lovely selection of drinks by the friendly reception staff and then saw our wonderful Dr Jawad who is just so kind, caring, thoughtful and knowledgable. He just goes beyond doctor and you really feel he genuinely cares for your child. He is so thorough and informative and has such a great manner with the children (and is parents). Would 100% recommend.

My experience at the Guys’s Hospital during my ICSI journey has been excellent. The staff were attentive, supportive, and well-coordinated throughout every stage of treatment, from consultations to embryo transfer. The environment was clean, calm, and very patient-focused. I felt well-informed and cared for at all times. Thank you for providing such a high standard of care.
