Mr Ian Hunt

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Mr Ian Hunt is a supremely skilled surgeon and a truly lovely man.  I have a complex history of severely painful rib issues that have required surgical intervention, and he has managed my case with compassion and care. He was the first clinician to take my pain seriously and commissioned the diagnostic imaging that confirmed his strong suspicion that I had slipping rib syndrome.  Because Mr Hunt works closely with the world's leading rib imaging specialist, Dr Ali Abbasi, he is able to gauge exactly how ribs move in real time and to propose the best course of action to manage them. Only a year ago, things would have looked very bleak for someone like me with recurrent symptoms following resection. However, Mr Hunt has stuck by me through thick and thin, and has recently developed a new and very elegant technique to stabilise resected ribs that has proved absolutely life-changing for me. I have had a superb surgical outcome and I can only express my gratitude and delight as I go from strength to strength.   On the day of the surgery itself, Mr Hunt was incredibly kind, as I had got myself rather worked up. He then checked in on me several times as I recovered. His nursing team were also wonderful and I felt very cared for. My pain was well-controlled and my incisions were minimal. His anaesthetist was superb, and somehow contrived to manage things so that I did not vomit, which in itself was a minor miracle.     In addition to being right at the forefront of his field, Mr Hunt is also very caring clinician who understands how awful slipping rib syndrome can be. He has always taken the time to discuss things in detail and explain everything clearly. He follows his patients closely and has lots of helpful, targeted suggestions to optimise post-operative recovery. I feel enormously lucky to be under Mr Hunt's care.

The admissions brochure fails to state that family members are not allowed to stay with patients during the pre-operative wait. This is a significant omission, as it creates avoidable anxiety for patients who are already nervous about their procedure and are only informed of this restriction upon arrival. The pre-op nurses showed poor bedside manner when I asked about this. Instead of offering reassurance, they quoted “hospital policy” and then gave reasons that felt dismissive and inaccurate — for example, claiming that “too many people come in and out of rooms,” when in reality only one nurse completed paperwork, followed later by the surgeon and anaesthetist. I was also told I would be going to theatre “shortly,” even though I knew (correctly) that I would be waiting another 1.5 hours. My family member could easily have stayed with me during that entire period, as is standard in the Ulster Independent Clinic and in my previous NHS experiences. The lack of engagement from the pre-op nurse beyond basic paperwork questions made the situation feel even more uncomfortable. The pods themselves felt more like small, bare cells than a calming space prior to surgery — no TV, no artwork, just two chairs and a table. It was far from a soothing environment. In contrast, the theatre staff and post-op nurses were outstanding. They were friendly, proactive, and reassuring, and they made up for the negative pre-operative experience. One final issue: the staff arranging my discharge medication did not check my notes and prescribed a medication I am unable to take. Because the pharmacy had already closed, the only solution was to remove it from the prescription entirely.

Excellent. I am currently undergoing IVF treatment with Professor Yacoub Khalaf at Guys Hospital in London. A few days ago Prof. Khalaf successfully collected 3 eggs, which I am very happy about. So far I am very impressed and completely satisfied with the high quality of medical care at the IVF clinic at Guys Hospital directed by Prof. Khalif. Previously I have undergone IVF treatments at one NHS and two private clinics in London, and I can confidently say that the integrity, honesty and personal care I have received from Prof Khalaf is exceptional, and well beyond that of the other clinics. The staff is well trained, and the process has been very efficient and easy. Unlike the other clinics they have not prescribed unnecessary medication or unnecessary scans. As a result the experience at Guys has been less emotionally and physically intrusive. My husband and I can recommend Prof Khalaf very highly.

Hello Lucy, I really wanted to reach out and say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Even though I’ve only seen you twice, you’ve made such a genuine difference to me. Your kindness, patience, and the way you’ve taken the time to understand what I need has honestly meant so much. You’ve helped me in ways you probably don’t even realise — not just with my treatment, but with giving me the confidence and clarity about the next steps and the referrals I need. I’m truly grateful for how supported and cared for you made me feel. I was really sad to hear that you’re leaving. It’s hard to put into words how much I’ll miss having you as my dentist, but I’m also so happy for you and whatever comes next. You deserve every bit of success and happiness, because you are genuinely amazing at what you do and at how you make people feel. Thank you, truly, for everything. Elise D

Mr Vladimir Revicky

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

As a nurse and midwife I was always going to have a strong opinion about the choice of Consultant I would see. Based upon a profile of professional credentials and special interests on Circle Health Group website, I made a personal choice of a private referral to Dr Vladimir Revicky at Ross Hall Hospital Glasgow. My experience has been extremely positive. Dr Revicky’s manner was professional, empathetic and he took the time to listen to me regarding my ongoing urology/ gynaecology issues. He explained my condition in great detail in a manner easy to understand . He also explained procedures and treatment options in great detail, along with answering all my questions thoroughly without making me feel rushed. He clearly demonstrated compassionate and reassuring care, also involving me in medical decisions. Overall a positive experience and would definitely recommend 100%

We’ve been seeing Dr. Amar at Happy Kids Dental in Hammersmith with both of our children, and he has been absolutely amazing every single time. He’s kind, professional, patient, and always knows how to make kids feel relaxed and safe — even when they were a bit scared at first! Unfortunately, both of our kids had a few cavities, but thanks to Dr. Amar’s gentle and caring approach, they got through all the treatments without fear or stress — and now they actually look forward to seeing the dentist! 🦷💛 A huge thank you to Dr. Amar for his incredible care and kindness. Also a big shout-out to the reception team and nurses — they’re always so lovely, welcoming, and patient. My kids adore them! Honestly, the whole team at Happy Kids Dental is just amazing. Highly, highly recommended! 🌟 Mum of Patrik and Lilien👋🏻

I want to sincerely thank Abbey, Vita, and Dr. Chauhan for making my recent appointment such a positive experience. From the moment I arrived, Abbey at reception guided me with clarity and warmth, helping me find the right floor and making the process smooth, in a way that felt personal and tailored, not generic. Vita added a spark of cheer to the day, balancing professionalism with a friendly, engaging personality. Dr. Chauhan was extraordinary (see Dr. Review). Their compassion, attentiveness, and thoughtful guidance made me feel truly heard and respected, which is rare and deeply appreciated. Thank you for making the appointment not just helpful, but genuinely meaningful.

Mr Sudhanshu Chitale

We had an excellent experience with Mr. Chitale. From our very first consultation, he made us feel completely at ease and took the time to explain every step of the procedure.

Mr. Chitale also followed up personally to make sure everything was healing well. We are so grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and skill.

Sam Wilde did an amazing job on my hip. I had a steroid injection and an extremely gloomy prognosis from the consultant with regard to osteoarthritis. Without Sam I would have gone into a deep depression! Sam talked me through a programme of rest post the steroid injection followed by a slow return to exercise with various adaptations. A year and a half later I am back to exercising 6 times a week with (so far) no issues other than the odd twinge from my hip. I am incredibly grateful and can't rate the treatment I got highly enough.

Dr Iaisha Ali

Dermatologist

The Consultant was open and welcoming and really listened to a descriprption of my symptoms. She examined me and immediately provided a detailed diagnosis and prescribed some relevant medication and a plan of action, and followed this up with a confirmatory report and letter. She considered my condition with experience and had been provided with only a few background notes from me. She was incisive, and treated me holistically and thoroughly and had an excellent bedside manner.

Dr John Martin

Gastroenterologist

I had a great experience with my doctor. I felt genuinely supported throughout the whole process, and everything was handled incredibly efficiently. All the tests and follow-up bookings were arranged very quickly, with no delays or long waiting times. The results came back fast and everything was clearly explained to me. Overall, an excellent experience — I felt well looked after from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Professor Reena Sidhu

Gastroenterologist

Professor Sidhu proved to be the perfect choice of consultant for me. Feeling ill and anxious for many weeks prior to my appointment she immediately put me at ease.Throughout my consultation any questions or concerns I have were answered future tests and procedures were fully explained.I would have no hesitation in recommending professor Sidhu following my own personal very positive experience.

Professor Keir Edward Lewis

General (Internal) Medicine, Respiratory Doctor

Professor Keir Lewis took the time to truly listen to every detail of my symptoms and concerns without once making me feel hurried. He focused on understanding the full scope of my health, not just quickly moving on to the next patient. After seeing lots of physicians about this issue, Professor Keir Lewis was able to explain me what it might be and why it’s been going on for so long.

Dr. Rajan Sethi

Dentist

I was seen on time and the visit did not, at any time, feel rushed. I was very impressed by Raj's approach to patient care and, in equal measure, was interested in hearing the explanation supporting each of the different treatment options. I left feeling informed, reassured and confident that the right treatment option had been chosen.
