Dr Nigel G Stephens

Cardiologist

I identified Dr Stephens as someone who might be more suited to my age and sporting interests than my previous cardiologist. The difference in approach was like chalk and cheese. Dr Stephens explained the hunch he had, was willing to share surprise that a key test had been overlooked, it was arranged quickly and delivered professionally by what seemed a very experienced and knowledgeable team at Northwick Park (Mary and colleague). The results accorded with the hunch and were extremely good news. This was against a backdrop of having been advised to do three months detraining, not easy for me but doable if necessary, but without any real assurance that it would lead to a diagnosis. Twenty seven days of booked holidays cancelled with deposits refunded, the prospect of beta blockers for a protracted period, not able to give blood, not possible to continue with my previous travel insurer and always with the doubt in my mind that there may be an undiagnosed significant heart issue. I was amazed by the clarity with which the advice was given, the quality of the advice, the personableness of Dr Stephens and the speed/clarity of the communications. after the two appointments. I got lucky in being given enough info by a friend to take the decision to get myself seen by Dr Stephens. The experience has truly been life changing and I can't think of any other way of describing it. To say I am extremely grateful is a total understatement. I was also impressed by Libby and others in the administration team at Maidstone who seemed to handle everything efficiently and slickly. Overall, entirely faultless and massively impressive. Thank you so much (and see you in a year's time!)

Dr Iftikhar Fazal

Cardiologist

My partner is under the care of Dr Iftikhar for heart failure. Following a procedure performed by Dr Fazal we visited today for a check up. I have to say I find the doctor to be very thorough, informative and knowledgeable , he is direct ( in a positive way ) and he answered any queries we had in a very clear and concise manner which I appreciate . He is approachable and as a very concerned partner this Doctor has particularly helped with alleviating much of the stress that comes with your family being unwell. The visit revealed that the operation was a complete success and in order to optimise the results the doctor is revisiting his medication doses to go along with the positive results that the tests revealed today. He certainly aims for the best possible result whether that is through surgery or medications .

Mr Sachin Agrawal

Urologist

Excellent explanation of the results from a recent CT scan, probing for possible kidney stones. A stone was found to be apparent, as well as other medical findings that Mr Agrawal took time to advise me on. He also gave invaluable ongoing dietary advice and recommended an ultrasound in a year’s time, which should be arranged via my GP. Mr Agrawal had already written to my GP outlining my initial consultation, and I have no doubt he will also be as efficient in relating the results to my GP as soon as possible. I was very reassured by Mr Agrawal that I was suffering from no major health issues, and as long as I adhered to his advice concerning sensible diet control, my proneness to kidney stones would hopefully decrease in time.

Newmedica Leicester

Ophthalmology

From the moment I arrived at reception until I left at the end of my assessment I was treated really well. Reception staff were really friendly and respectful and explained the paperwork to be completed and assured me that the wait would not be too long. I was called within 5 minutes by the first nurse who carried out all the necessary basic checks explaining everything really clearly. She then sent me back to the waiting area until the doctors were ready to do the final assessment again I only waited about 5 minutes before I was called to the examination room. The doctor explained really clearly what all the tests were for and what would happen when the procedure was to be done. A very pleasant experience from start to finish

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I recently attended an initial appointment and was very impressed with the service. All staff were friendly, professional, and welcoming. The optician/optometrist carried out a range of detailed tests on both the health and vision of my eyes, and explained every result clearly. In the end, I did not need to proceed with any treatment at this stage, as it would not significantly improve my sight. I was advised that waiting a year or two would give better value and a more meaningful result. It was reassuring to see that the practice prioritises what is genuinely best for patients rather than recommending unnecessary procedures. Overall, an honest and professional service that inspires confidence.

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

Gastroenterology, Anaesthetics, + 10 more

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.

Sonoworld Diagnostic Services

Imaging (Scans), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I honestly couldn't thank Daniela enough! She has done my scans for many years now and has always been clear, transparent and informative. I am usually an anxious person and she has always made the process easy and smooth. I accidentally booked another place for a scan a few years ago and the experience I received traumatised me until I went back to Daniela. I couldn't recommend her enough and genuinely trust her with all my scans. Daniela is great at her job, is honest and provides a very high level of service. 5 stars as always.

Dr Piero Zollet

Ophthalmologist

Due to a complication following a Trebeculectomy, I did have some anxiety as to whether or not I would have normal sight again. Dr. Zollet was always very professional answering my questions and taking the time to explain, in terms I could understand, what outcomes were possible and the treatment he proposed. I found him very reassuring and someone I could trust. The outcome of his treatment is that my sight has normalized and whilst my eye pressure was unduly high it is hoped it will reduce over the coming weeks

Miss Christina Summerhayes

Breast Surgeon

Miss Summerhayes filled me with confidence from our very first consultation. Her guidance was delivered with honesty, kindness, and unwavering support throughout my treatment. Combined with the genuine, wraparound care provided at every stage by Sarah Sanger, my experience was as positive as it could possibly have been under the circumstances. Thanks to their exceptional skill, dedication, and compassion, I have come through my treatment with a positive outcome, for which I will be forever grateful.

Woodthorpe Hospital

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 12 more

I had a two night inpatient stay recently after having fairly major surgery at The Woodthorpe Hospital. The individual and quality care I received from my Surgeon, Anaesthetist and Nursing staff made my experience a very positive one. The room was well equipped and the food was good, with every need catered for. Special thanks for making allowances and letting me stay until late in my room on day of discharge. I would definitely recommend this hospital for an overall positive experience.

Harley Mind Care

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Psychiatry, + 1 more

Extremely disappointed with Harley Mind Care. Terrible patient communication, no accountability for mistakes made, I had to chase up and argue regarding every appointment for my daughter. Assessment appointment was cut short and when I raised a complaint to my insurance company Harley Mind lied about this. I do not feel my child was given adequate opportunity to discuss her concerns that led us to seeking an assessment in the first place. I would not recommend this clinic.

Mr Haresh Devalia

Breast Surgeon, General Surgeon

Mr Devalia was incredibly thorough and provided great care and attention during my appointment. He was clear with the process, potential outcomes and made sure I was informed and comfortable with the results. When I got my results Mr Devalia was very kind and allowed time for me to be happy with a negative result. Talking me through what it meant and what to look out for in the future. I was very happy with the treatment and with Mr Devalia's approach.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

I visited the clinic to discuss removal of a lesion on my eyelid. Having spoken to the consultant Mt Murray I decided to have it removed. I returned two weeks later to have the surgery. All the staff were very supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure to me. In particular Jenny took great care of me and made sure I felt as relaxed as I could be. Everything went to plan and I would like to thank everybody that was involved.

Dr Mark Samaan

Gastroenterologist

I recently had a private consultation with Dr. Mark Samaan at the Cleveland Clinic following major surgery. Despite never having met me before, Dr. Samaan was incredibly caring and took the time to listen to my concerns thoroughly. I was particularly impressed by his proactivity; he immediately pushed to get my post-operative treatment plan in place as quickly as possible. I felt heard, supported, and in very safe hands.

Mr Aakshay Gulati

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

From my first consultation with Mr Aakshay Gulati to my recent surgery was first class. Everything was thoroughly explained to me about the surgery and the side effects. The documentation and videos i received explaining each step of procedure were first class. Mr Aakshay Gulati and the team at Kims Hospital made feel relaxed and cared for with a high standard of professionalism. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Diverse Minds Clinic

Psychiatry

Diverse Minds Clinic provided me with an excellent experience. Dr. Cappai, the consultant, has extensive experience and has diagnosed me with ASD and ADHD. It was a challenging and time-consuming assessment, but Dr. Cappai and the team at Diverse Minds Clinic were quite helpful in completing out the documents. The rooms are comfortable and the location is very nice. I cannot recommend enough!!!!
