Mr Ivan Tomasi

General Surgeon

Mr Tomasi saved my life,literally. The gallstones were diagnosed in 2008 and I put up with the chronic pain until April 2025 when I finally told my GP,and had an ultrasound scan. I was seen in outpatient clinic in August. The doctor was going to see me again in 6 months. Then I had Pancreatitis in October and spent 5 days in Cumberland ward. That's when Mr Tomasi comes in. He volunteered to take on what I was told was a tricky case. I knew it too. I hid it from the doctors for years because I foolishly wanted to have my knee replacements first. That decision could havw cost my life. Thankfully, on November 13 Mr Tomasi and his team performed the long overdue cholecystectomy. He spent 20 minutes preop talking to me about all possible outcomes. He was very honest with me. Which I really appreciate. The gallstones were overflowing. I was in pain and had swollen glands. So I know thus wasn't a straight forward cholecystectomy. Mr Tomasi was willing to put his life / career on the line for me. I researched his background beforehand!!, so I knew I was going to make it. What he found during surgery was worse than we both expected. My gallbladder had perforated and was leaking. It wasn't an easy job. I was in theatre for 3 hours, and came back to tell my story. The NHS, again saved my life, ie, Mr Tomasi. I give him the permission to use my surgery as a case study, if he ever needs to. Tell the world how my abdomen was covered in gooey "chocolate!!',and I still left the hospital 5 days later. We just need more medical advancement and better incentives to keep the likes of Mr Tomasi from going private. Thank you Sir, for your contribution to humanity.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

As a Nervous patient about to have an Extraction..I was sitting In the waiting room Dreading every second The Receptionist was very nice and made me feel at ease Then after a very short wait ..the time had come for me to face my Fears.. As I sat in the chair the procedure was explained to me in full and the Dentist really made me feel Comfortable and at ease .. The first Extraction had taken place without me even being aware ..so no pain whatsoever Time for the second Extraction.. The Dentist asked me to rinse my mouth And I promise the second Extraction had already been carried out without me being aware ..completely pain free ..the dentist advised me that she should carry out a filling to another one of my teeth ..I was a bit reluctant..she cleaned the area and what I can only describe as her massaging the affected tooth the filling was carried out successfully.. I have a follow on Appointment in January And can Honestly say ..im looking forward to it Oh and to add ...when the Anesthetic wore off I experienced no pain or Discomfort whatsoever..and less than 24 hours later I sat down and enjoyed hot coffee With no Discomfort.... I can't thank you enough for your Treatment..and after 64 years ..im no longer a Nervous Patient Thank you

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.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

The staff were lovely, so kind and understanding which has been thoroughly appreciated. However, some frustration noted around wait times. While it is appreciated that diagnostics are a lengthy process and take time, I found issues where my assessments were delayed due to Skylight not having all the information from the forms I had already completed, and after submitting my forms I was not told that all of the information had not been received until I reached out and chased my application due to the time frames I was given being overdue. To improve this experience, more communication on what has and hasn’t been received would improve the experience and shorten some people’s wait times, as my wait time was partially increased due to lack of communication over forms I had or hadn’t filled in.

I was very apprehensive about getting both of my eyes done at the same time. I cant believe how easy and painless it was ,all of the staff were amazing in looking after me and putting me at ease. Having 24 hr support was amazing ,my concerns were addressed quickly . If only everything was as easy as this ,within 3 days i could see perfectly ,i never realised how much of a difference it would make . From my consultant ,nursing staff, opthamologists, domestic staff and receptionist they went above and beyond in their care. Nothing was too much bother. Dont hesitate to go ,you will be amazed .

Mr Benedetto Mondelli

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

It’s now almost 6 months since I had my operation with Mr. Mondelli, and I can honestly say I only wish I had done it sooner. I feel so good, and the pain I used to have before the surgery is now just a distant memory! The consultation was very informative, and I had time to think about my options. When I finally decided to go ahead with the surgery, I called his secretary and he put on the waiting list straight away without any delays. The surgery went really well, and Mr. Mondelli found endometriosis and managed to remove it all, also the one closer to my bowel.

The Eating Disorder Recovery Clinic

Dietitian, Psychology, + 1 more

Richard is, without question, the kindest and most effective therapist I’ve ever worked with. His confidence, evidently based on deep knowledge, is paired with his good humour and informal approach to create an extremely comfortable and supportive therapeutic environment. He has, and continues to support me with both the practical, day-to-day steps in my recovery from anorexia, as well as the deep and meaningful work needed to make that recovery robust. For anyone struggling with an eating disorder, I can not recommend and endorse Richard highly enough.

The London Dermatology Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

My wife and I have visited the clinic a few times during the last five years and are both very impressed. Dr Chopra is friendly, caring and very competent. He operates efficiently and is always on time. My skin lesions were examined and treated on the spot during the same session today. I received information about the nature and cause of my problem and was given instruction about how to look after the problem area until it is fully healed. I was charged as quoted when I booked the appointment.. Highly recommended service.

Lanthorn Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

I had an injury last year on my left calf alongside recurring main in my right foot so wanted to get them checked. Dr Lord effectively assessed my calf, showed a very small tear, and then looked at my feet and told me there’s minor thickening in one of the tendons, which wouldn’t require any intervention but recommended physio for both including some effective stretching. Now I’ve got my report I can give to my physio and monitor it more effectively ACTUALLY knowing what’s wrong.

Dr Maha Awadalla

Paediatric Neurologist

Dr Maha Awadalla was absolutely wonderful with my young child during our recent visit. She was warm, patient, and incredibly reassuring—both to my child and to me as a parent. She took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure my child felt comfortable throughout the appointment. Her gentle approach and genuine care made a big difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to other families.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Pain Management, Audiology, + 11 more

The consultant was rude and confrontational about my need to have postponed previous appointments. These had been given to me on Tuesdays with the the option to change if not convenient. I endeavoured to change some to the Saturday clinic but this was not possible so I missed that month. As it turned out, when I had the last scan in August, the condition had stabalised and this was confirmed again at this appointment.

Mr Sergey Tadtayev

Urologist

Mr Tadtayev explained clearly and carefully the outcomes from my histological report, and my progress in recovery from surgery. He also explained clearly the next actions for dealing with my leiomyosarcoma and the plan for addressing my kidney disease. Throughout the appointment Mr Tadtayev answered my questions and addressed my concerns clearly and with a great amount of tact and realism.

Dr. Laura Blackmore

Gastroenterologist

Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr Laura Blackmore! She is a doctor with enormous knowledge and empathy. During each appointment, she takes her time and explains all the results and the details clearly. It’s evident that she genuinely cares about her patients. Thanks to her professionalism and warm approach, I feel well cared for. Dr Laura Blackmore is a fantastic doctor!

Mr Greville Farrar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a partial knee replacement operation in Feb 2025 by Dr Farrar, and I can highly recommend Dr Farrar as my experience of the whole pre-operation, the op itself and post-operation physio was first class. Six months after the operation I was back playing golf and also back playing walking football weekly, and I hardly have any sign of the scar from the surgery.

Mr Saif Ul Islam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My experience was brilliant,Dr Islam was courteous and pleasant , assured me that my procedure was very satisfactory , this was a follow up appointment so I was discharged.if you are nervous to have a procedure Dr Islam puts you at ease and reassures you that everything will go smoothly, such a good Dr I would recommend him.

Mr Tariq Ayoub

Ophthalmologist

The advice I received probably wasn’t what I wanted to hear (i.e. that I wasn’t suitable for surgery, just yet), BUT far better to receive disappointing and honest advice than to receive dishonest advice that leads to a bad result, so very pleased with the sage advice I received. Has persuaded me not to rush into a decision.
