Mr Alex Ionides

Ophthalmologist

It would be helpful to add the following to your briefing: after surgery - we will offer to help you to a taxi or to the taxi rank, if you do not have a person to accompany you (I went downstairs on my own and had to find a taxi - as the rank was not manned) Worth considering clear plastic, wrap around glasses for walking/cycling in windy areas/or where likely to be grit in the air Clear some space in your fridge for the eye drops which will need to be refrigerated If you are travelling invest in a portable coo lbag, with icepack to keep eye drops at the required temperature tell people ahead of time no eye make up on the day or for a month post op / swimming hair washing will be tricky for a few days, so consider dry shampoo explain to people what is normal in terms of recovery day by day over the subsequent days post surgery explain to people what to do, if despite taking the drops, there is a feeling of grit in eyes explain to people - if it is normal or not to see halos or to see with a soft focus - perhaps have images, which are shown ahead of time provide youtube video with how to insert drops - have practise drop session on a pre visit, with non irritant drops, to enable the technique to be mastered The person who provided the medicines did not go through the 'knuckle technique' which is on the document provided, trying to master this when your eye sight is recovering is not straightforward Suggest that patients have ibrufen 200 and or paracetemol at the ready suggest setting alarm on phone at regular intervals for drop taking

Delamere: Private Rehab Clinic & Addiction Treatment

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

Delamere has been a godsend to me. From the first moment I contact them to the final day of my stay, they were warm, professional and caring. Each and every member of staff, from the cleaning teams to the senior leaders has the best interests of guests at heart. Delamere is a caring and friendly community which focuses on the needs of the individual, but in such a way that the programme does not feel over-medicalised. The care and attention given from the nursing team is second to none and nothing is too much trouble. They explain everything to you in a way you can understand and always have time for questions or queries. The guest liaison team are approachable and helpful as well as supportive and kind. The quality of the group session is excellent and well-thought through to support you on you recovery journey. This is exemplified by the outstanding quality of therapy and mentoring I received throughout my time at Delemere. The chefs are excellent and proved a nutritious and balanced diet which is excellent quality. The team as re also friendly and welcoming. What was special about Delemere is the personal touch. Every member of staff knew your name and was happy to chat about any issues you might have at any time of day. I cannot thank the staff enough for the opportunity they have given me to get my life back on track. I wholeheartedly recommend Delemere for anyone needing their expertise and support.

Mr Rob Bethune

General Surgeon

I met mr Rob Bethune at a preliminary meeting to discuss having a hernia repair. He explained everything very clearly and I decided to go ahead and have it done. On the day of the procedure I was escorted to a room to await my turn. The procedur was done under a local anesthletic and took about an hour and I was conscious all the time and then taken back to my room. I was allowed home after about an hour. I was a bit uncomfortable for about a week but have been 100 percent since with no repercussions. Mr Rob Bethune is a great surgeon.

Harley Street Specialist Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dietitian, + 8 more

Everything went ok but if I had one criticism it would be I felt that the surgical area was very busy and needed more nurses . I was left in my room with no one coming in for quite a long time and although offered a coffee after the procedure I eventually had to ring my bell and a Dr came and brought me a coffee . Luckily I am not a nervous patient but if I had been there wasn’t enough contact with nursing staff . They’d appear and say they were going to do something and then disappear and not come back .

Total Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

This is a truly excellent service. I had been to another ear wax removal specialist a few days earlier who had failed to unblock my ears after half an hour of trying. I have a particular shape of ear canal that causes the wax to sit stubbornly on the ear drum. Rekesh is very personable and knowledgable and has a lovely comfortable treatment room. Within a few minutes he had completely unblocked both my ears, almost effortlessly. I was delighted and I highly recommend this service.

Freedom Vision - Telford

Ophthalmology

My recent experience with Freedom Vision was great. From moment of contact the staff were very attentive, efficient and very professional. I was out at ease straight away. The operation for both eyes went very smoothly and all the details were explained fully. I now can see perfectly and do not need to wear glasses at all . I would recommend Freedom Vision to anyone who is looking at corrective eyesight.

UK Vein Clinic - Manchester

Vascular Surgery

The staff were all extremely friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, being happy to answer all my questions and put me at my ease. The procedure was quite uncomfortable at times but the staff were on hand to reassure me and to warn me when to anticipate some discomfort. Once the procedure had been completed, the discomfort totally dissipated and l haven't felt any pain at all since - none whatsoever!

Mr George Voyatzis

Ophthalmologist

From the moment I met Mr Voyatzis I knew straight away that I had chosen the right consultant for my eye care. He listened to me, and based the treatment around my lifestyle needs. I found the whole process from making the first enquiry to receiving my final report a real delight, my eye troubles are now gone and I am beyond grateful to Mr Voyatzis and his team for everything they have done for me

Mr Allardice was fantastic! He was so warm and friendly and really took the time to assess my condition. He didn’t make me feel rushed, or that I was wasting his time! He was so great at explaining everything clearly and putting me at my ease. He is the nicest and most efficient consultant I have ever seen, and I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family!
