Mr Nick Ohly

Orthopaedic Surgeon

When I went for the original consultation I had requested Mr Ohly on the recommendation of a friend whose hip he had replaced. I had deliberately not looked up his credentials as I wanted the first hand impression. (Of course I would follow this up subsequently.) At the initial meeting I liked his approach. He covered a lot of ground in language which was accessible to someone not at all clear on how bad my knee was, far less what could be done. I was not talked down to, and thus I felt able to ask questions, the answers to which I really wanted to know in order to look at how I was going to manage the whole business mentally and physically. I knew so little at that point, but in the following months I read and slowly became clear on what was about to happen. During that time I sent him a few emails and his responses were always prompt and thorough. I was scheduled for the operation in early October, but for reasons beyond his control, it had to be postponed. None of my preparation had included that possibility. Having geared myself up for it, I was extremely distressed at this turn of events. Mr Ohly took time to talk me through the situation and reassure me. He could have left it to someone else, but he did not. By the time I got to the operation I had full confidence in him because of how he had treated me as a human being. He knew I was scared and he managed that very well. I was not dismissed. When he came to see me after the operation he was professional and kindly. I was just relieved. In my follow up meeting he very shrewdly picked up on my concerns and dealt with them well. Seven weeks on I can see a future which I had thought was disappearing as my life shrank to cope with the pain I was enduring. I will never climb Mount Everest but I can climb stairs, something I could only do with extreme distress two months ago.

Dr Farah Rehman

Oncologist

Dr Rehman is exceptional! In this meeting, as in all the others, she demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the issues and her communication was excellent. She always brought us into the solution by helping us understand her prescription choices and the rationale behind them. Further, she paid attention to what we had to say about the symptoms etc. and importantly, also our state of mind and opinions. This was particularly reassuring. When she couldn’t give us exactly what we requested or suggested, she always helped we understand why and then provide more suitable alternatives. She came up with some treatment suggestions that we weren’t initially keen on but on further reflection, realise those may actually be perfect. In this meeting, as with all the others, she demonstrated, professionalism, knowledge understanding and empathy. And it’s perhaps her empathy and care that have always stood out the most, and given us that needed reassurance throughout the process.

Miss Jane Kerby

Plastic Surgeon

I underwent abdominoplasty surgery 6 weeks ago. In my initial consultation, Jane was clear, personable and knowledgeable. I felt at ease in our discussion; we had in depth discussions about the procedure and I did not feel rushed to ask all the questions I had. Booking the surgery was easy and a second consultation was provided to discuss in more detail my preferences. The day of the surgery everything ran smoothly. Jane checked in daily the first few days and was always quick to respond to any questions. She checked in regularly to make sure everything was healing well. My recovery process was very good; minimal pain and well managed. My results are amazing and I have healed without any issues. My scar is so thin and has already began to fade at only 6 weeks following Jane’s advice. I would highly recommend Jane to anyone wishing to get abdominoplasty surgery.

Dr Animesh Singh

Rheumatologist

Great doctor with thoughtful and carrying approach to patients. I have a very rare autoimmune condition, which is very less researched and nasty to treat and yet Dr. Singh agreed to try to help me, provided great guidance and potential treatment strategy that I am now pursuing under his care. I initially contacted him for the second opinion to verify my diagnosis and treatment plan from a very honourable and well established rheumatology professor, but I ended up switching under his care completely, because of the competence, grounded/practical approach and attention to details + genuine willingness to help. I wish I would meet Dr. Singh sooner and start following his treatment earlier - it would have saved me a lot of side effects and wasted time.

I was very early for the appointment so was encouraged to go to cafe and assured I would be called when they were ready. The receptionist answered our questions with a friendly manner. The nurse was very attentive and explained the procedure whilst preparing the cannular. She even brought blankets as it was chilly in the room. The cardiologist gave time to explain the findings afterwards and advised regarding medication. Excellent service!

Dr Sotiris Nicholas

Anaesthetist

We have just had an elective c section. Dr Nicholas was calm, informative and extremely gentle. He was able to reassure us throughout the procedure which kept everything a calm and really lovely experience. He also filmed and photographed the experience when he could. We’ve have since had a check up, where he has explained any feelings I may be having and let us ask any questions! Great experience - highly, highly recommend. 😊

Marris Medical

Marris Medical were great from start to end. Booking the appointment was easy, with friendly staff. On the day of the appointment I was taken in earlier, the MRI procedure was explained and completed with ease. I was told I would get my report in 24-48 hours (over the festive period) however received it the same day in the afternoon. I would highly recommend them. I would definitely use them again if needed.

Dr Michael Koa-Wing

Cardiologist

Technical explanations, clinical risk advice and outcome expectation management explanations all matched my levels of understanding and expectation. His and his teams willingness to accommodate questions and other support for information all met. Final outcome of procedure as hoped for and successful. I'm happy to recommend this practioner.

Dr Shanthi Paramothayan

Respiratory Doctor

Dr Paramothayan was very detailed and diligent in her explanation of the causes of my condition and the path she put me on ended nearly two years of very unpleasant lung difficulties. She was particularly good at following up on interventions and maintaining contact with me to ensure my return to health had been sustained.

Wonderful experience at ACE, where my son has been attending OIT appointments. The centre is welcoming and full of books and toys to keep us entertained through the appointment. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, we feel very lucky to benefit from their experience. Most importantly, the treatment seems to be working!

Overall my recent experience was excellent. I had recently had foot surgery and had a blue post surgery shoe on. A lovely, thoughtful and kind nurse called Theresa brought me a stool and pillow to elevated my foot without me even asking and generally looked after me and made sure all the other patients were ok.

Prompt, on time. Comfortable waiting area, convenient parking. Filling out the details on paper seemed a bit inefficient, couldn’t this be done online before the appointment and have paper as a back up? The on site pharmacy did not stock the prescribed medication, which was a little disappointing.

Had to visit for two scans. Everyone was lovely and made it as nice as a hospital appointment could possibly be. Parking is extremely scarce, I had to drive due to trains not running. This was communicated with me when appointment was confirmed.
