Dr Maria Kalkani

Dentist

I cannot thank Dr. Maria Kalkani, and her entire team enough for the extraordinary care they gave our child during what was one of the most stressful days we’ve had as parents. After our son suffered a fall and traumatically lost his front tooth, my husband and I were overwhelmed with worry. We weren’t just concerned about the immediate injury, but about the possible long-term effects on his adult teeth, his smile, and even his confidence and mental wellbeing. Seeing your child hurt and frightened is heartbreaking, and we walked into the clinic feeling anxious and unsure of what the future might look like. From the moment we arrived, everything changed. Dr. Kalkani’s professionalism, calm expertise, and genuine compassion were immediately reassuring. She took the time to explain every step clearly, answered our many (many!) questions with patience, and never once made us feel rushed or silly for asking. Her knowledge and confidence gave us complete trust that our child was in the very best hands. Her treatment coordinator, Jasmine, was equally incredible organized, kind, and so thoughtful in helping us navigate appointments and options during an emotional time. And Sydney, her nurse, was simply wonderful with our son —gentle, warm, and so reassuring. She treated him like he was family, which meant more to us than we can say. What stood out most was the level of care and humanity. They stayed late to make sure he was fully seen and that we understood every option available. No one hurried us out the door. Instead, they focused entirely on what was best for our child. They kept both my husband and me calm, grounded, and hopeful when we really needed it. The whole team showed such patience, kindness, and compassion not just clinical excellence, but true heart. It felt as though they cared for our son as if he were their own. We left feeling relieved, supported, and incredibly grateful. If you are looking for pediatric dental care where skill meets genuine love and dedication, I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Kalkani and her team more highly. The care they provide is immense and truly unmatched. Thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it.

Dr Alek Nikolic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

20/10 I was recommended to Dr Alek by multiple friends, including one who is a doctor herself and trained under him. He came highly, highly recommended and is known as the best in the business — and I can completely understand why. From the moment I walked into the practice, I was warmly greeted by Sam, the practice administrator. She was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. Thank you, Sam! I’ve seen many aesthetic doctors and practitioners before, and Dr Alek is by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Previously, consultations felt rushed — numbing cream applied, a quick question about what I wanted, and straight into the procedure. With Dr Alek, it was completely different. We began with a thorough consultation where we discussed my concerns, the procedures I was interested in, and everything I’ve previously had done — including where, when, and any medications I’m on. He then did a full facial assessment, looking at proportions, symmetry, and structure. He carefully felt for any existing filler or lumps, explained what they were, and clearly walked me through what we can and can’t do moving forward. Everything was explained in a way that was detailed yet easy to understand. We created a thoughtful plan of action together, and what stood out most was that he never once tried to “sell” me on anything — something I’ve experienced with every other practitioner before. It’s immediately clear that he truly cares about his patients, has an incredible passion for what he does, and an exceptional eye for detail. He really knows his craft. Today we did Botox, and it was genuinely pain-free. He is precise, intentional, and incredibly gentle. As soon as I left, I couldn’t wait to call my husband and tell him how amazing the experience was. I’ve now officially joined my group of friends who cannot recommend Dr Alek highly enough. Thank you, Dr Alek and team!

Dr Asif Qasim

Cardiologist

Approximately one year ago I experienced a sudden increase/spike in my heart rate when exercising on the rowing machine. My usual heart rate for a steady state training session was between 130 and 145 BPM. This time it suddenly spiked up to about 180 to 190+ bpm, and it would not come down quickly enough. I am quite fit for my age and never had such issues before. As this had never happened before, I did get in touch with my GP and eventually I had a 24hr Holter monitor fitted. The results did not reveal anything that was out of ordinary. But, a month later, I was at an indoor rowing competition, when my heart rate suddenly jumped to 226 bpm and I also experienced headaches. I then decided to use my wife's BUPA family health insurance and I had my 1st appointment with Dr Qasim in July 2025, at Cromwell Hospital. What struck me was his friendly and professional manner. He asked numerous questions about my lifestyle, my past or existing health issues, if any, and the sport I am involved in, rowing. He listened very carefully, patiently and sympathetically to all my concerns I had regarding my symptoms. He was also very reassuring, and I left the appointment feeling a lot more optimistic. Dr Qasim booked several thorough tests and, following the test results, I am now on medication that controls the atrial fibrillation symptoms. I have regained confidence in training harder, and I am now able to race without worrying. I also have regained the confidence that I am not going to have a sudden heart attack or a stroke! As it happens, very soon, I have an appointment with Dr Qasim, to review the last few months since I last saw him and the efficiency of the medication prescribed and obtain a final diagnosis. I am confident that I will able able to control the Afib symptoms and any possible complications, with Dr Qasim’s help and expertise.

Mr David Griffiths

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

My recent visit was to receive the results of a pelvic ultrasound, discuss the outcome and discuss further options. Nothing untoward in respect of the pelvic scan. Benefiting from the topicalvaginal oestrogen presribed, but switching to Estriol cream. Discussed the ongoing problems I have with unauthorised surgery done during a bowl prolapse operation in 2013 using mesh. There are to many difficulties and dangers involved in removing the mesh. Am grateful to Mr Griffiths for the detailed information he has given me about this surgery and the reasons it would be very difficult and not wise to try and remove the mesh. He is the first Consultant who has done this and I have been trying to find out this information for 10 years. I now know what the real situation is and what my true options and possibilities are in dealing with my continuing problems. A successful outcome for me.

One Stop Healthcare

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 48 more

The team at One Stop Healthcare in Hemel Hempstead were very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I had a clean, tidy private room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The two ladies who handled my general anaesthetic were excellent and really helped put me at ease as I was quite nervous. Post surgery, the physio who showed me how to use my crutches and explained my recovery was lovely. My only criticism was the inconsistency around my sick note - my surgeon signed me off for 6 weeks, but a nurse was unhelpful and stated they only do 4 weeks and that I would need to see my GP to extend it! This felt unnecessary given this was my agreed recovery time. My surgeon did step in to resolve this. I did appreciate the follow up call a week after surgery to check how I was doing, which was a nice touch overall.

Mr Lalin Navaratne

General Surgeon

I was admitted to St Mary’s for emergency upper GI surgery and had the good fortune to be assigned to Lal Navaratne. I have never before known such a caring, friendly, considerate, down-to-earth consultant. Lal not only saved my life (laparoscopically!) he visited me twice a day during recovery, arranged a transfer to my chosen ward, and introduced me to a charming health coordination doctor. Lal is everything one would wish for in a medical professional, a brilliant surgeon, and a really lovely human being. My overall care at St Mary’s was first class and second to none, in which Lal played a key role.

The OrthTeam Centre

Imaging (Scans), Neurology, + 6 more

Positive perks - the waiting room had adjustable height chairs meaning I didn't have to struggle getting in and out of chairs! Dr Chinoy didn't judge me, or make me feel rushed or that I was an inconvenience (something I have grown accustomed to from the nhs). Despite my symptoms not fitting in with his specialities he recommended a colleague who he feels confident would be able to meet my needs. Although private care is hard on my wallet as a self funder, the advice, treatment and service I received overall made it more than worthwhile.

Mr Joseph Manjaly

ENT Surgeon

Dr Joseph Manjaly is an excellent ENT surgeon. The stitching behind my ear was done with great precision and care, leaving little to no visible scarring. Throughout the entire process he was very reassuring and always took the time to answer my questions whenever I needed help or clarification. The surgery itself went very well, and he did an outstanding job. My hearing improved significantly after the operation, and I genuinely feel he helped me a lot. I’m very grateful for his skill, patience, and support and would highly recommend him.

Mr Ardeshir Bonshahi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Without any shadow of doubt, Mr. Bonshahi is a first class orthopaedic surgeon, I recently had a total hip replacement and my recovery has been amazing thanks to Mr.Bonshahi magical surgical skills. My whole experience with Mr Bonshahi and his team at Highfield has been an exceptional gift and certainly alleviated the dreadful fear of surgery which I have carried for decades. I don’t just have a brand-new hip. I brand-new person who’s determined to make the best of life thankyou so much.

Mr Graeme Nicol

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had two total hip replacements - the first in July 2025 and the second in October 2025. Graeme Nicol carried out both procedures at King’s Park Hospital in Stirling, using the anterior approach. Mr Nicol is an exceptionally skilled and highly professional surgeon with a warm, calm and reassuring manner. I am absolutely delighted with the results, and my postoperative recovery has been very good. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Dr Syed Ahsan

Cardiologist

At our first meeting Dr Ahsan impressed me with his whole approach. His manner was welcoming and understanding. His technical/medical information was presented in a very straightforward and easy to understand manner. At the end I had no hesitation in asking him to undertake the procedure I needed. On the day of the procedure, once again, his manner and approach was reassuring throughout and his continuing advice and support has been outstanding.

I visited the clinic today with my elderly mother who is experiencing a number of health concerns. Dr Oates was kind professional and extremely thorough during the consultation. He made my mum feel very comfortable and explained everything very well. We now have a plan in place to move forward and feel more positive. We would definitely use the clinic in the future and would 100% recommend to others.

From arrival to leaving, staff were very friendly and helpful. I was treated respectfully and with care. I visited the facility twice this week and on the first occasion - late afternoon, there was no option for purchasing refreshments. On my second visit, which was earlier in the day, the facility to purchase drinks and snacks was open, and was very good.
