My consultant Hugh O’Kane was so lovely excellent communication skills empathy and he listened to me , which some consultants would need to have a refresher course on dealing with patients. The anaesthetist ( sorry i can’t remember his name an Indian gentleman again so lovely) and the nurses in theatre were all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the sedation was not great effect but got through. Recovery nurse Alex’s was very attentive & had a very caring way . Transferred to ward 3 Bernadette the nurse and Sinead & Sarah ( hopefully I have the correct names) all excellent A really lovely friendly member of the catering team Gillian came to see if I would like something to eat at that time I did not , but she Came k later to check & made the most delicious toasted sandwich. I had buzzed for the nurse as I was in a lot of pain behind my left knee she gave me liquid paracetamol, the pain got worse i asked for the compression stocking to be removed, the problem was that the stocking had not been pulled up straight and therefore it had “ marked my ankle very deeply “ with the result that the circulation would have been effected. My leg felt “Dead or asleep “ I felt afraid but the staff where lovely, Hugh came to see me around 8.30 pm had a conversation with my son in England and the plan was to stay (but before this they where happy to let me go home Kelly the manager came to speak to me as this was no fault of mine they I asked “in a scenario such as mine was there not a plan B in place “ to which she responded “0 yes and a plan b c & d “ ) So thankfully the outcome was resolved, I was to stay Hugh would see me in the morning. The night staff Keira & a girl called you I’m think the other health care assistant was Sharon hopefully this is correct but all excellent care. Hugh came in to see me just after 7am very attentive,examined my leg, I said that the pain was not as severe as the night before & I was happy to go home, “to which he replied if your happy so am I “ ( if only more consultants had his way ) he said I was not to worry re the financial situation re the over night stay Over all I am glad that we resolved the situation.

Professor Yacoub Khalaf

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

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.

I have just attended a post op review with my consultant. From receptionist to radiographer ( review xray ) to consultant all staff were welcoming , friendly and empathetic. The time waiting to be seen was minimal and each staff member was efficient and ensured the visit was without issue and all concerns were addressed . Mr Islam, my consultant ,discussed In detail my postop xray and listened to my experience of recovery with interest and empathy - allowing me to tell him anything that had concerned me. My post op recovery status was assessed and encouragement given for further progress with a one year review planned . I left the appointment completely satisfied that I had treated by a person with the highest level of skill and professional attitude.

Spire Leicester Hospital

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 3 more

I recently had surgery at Spire Leicester Hospital. The medical staff were amazing, friendly, informative and they really helped put me at ease throughout my stay. However, the administrative side needs be improved, as it took several weeks of chasing before I finally received my booking confirmation. Additionally, after my large open inguinal hernia operation, I was discharged without being offered a wheelchair and had to walk down from the second floor to leave the hospital, which was difficult so soon after surgery. Overall, excellent clinical care, but room for improvement in administration and patient support on discharge.

Dr. Fatima Kagalwala

Paediatrician

I want to give Dr. Kagalwala a 5-star review. She was the first doctor who genuinely listened to me as a parent and believed my concerns about my son's sensitivities. While other doctors assumed he was just a fussy eater, Dr. Kagalwala asked the right questions and quickly diagnosed him with SPD. I was waiting for the right diagnosis for 2 years. This diagnosis opened up the right treatment avenues and made a huge difference for us. She was compassionate, patient, and even gave my son thoughtful gifts to encourage him. I’m so grateful for her support, and I highly recommend her to any parent.

I cannot speak highly enough of my treatment at St Hugh’s. From the warm welcome at Reception to the exemplary care of the Nursing Team (Nurse Whitney - your care and compassion are “gold standard”) I could not have asked for a more pleasant experience. Special thanks also to the Consultant Anaesthetist, Consultant Ophthalmologist and Theatre Team. Your skills and expertise are more appreciated than words can express. Last, but certainly not least, thank you to the lovely lady who served me with the delicious tea and toast! You are all a credit to the name St Hugh’s!!

Mr Jonathan Clarke

Ophthalmologist

Mr Jonathan Clarke has looked after me since I was diagnosed with glaucoma around eight years ago. He has since removed cataracts. He is calm and caring, always ready to spend as much time with you as is needed, and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. I cannot recommend him highly enough. In fact I have already recommended him to a friend whose vision was impaired by cataracts. She has now recommended Jonathan Clarke to her friends!

Platinum providing practice- Practice Administrator feedback. Patients often come back saying their sleep has massively improved and snoring has either stopped or reduced a lot.

It’s one of the most effective solutions we’ve offered for sleep and snoring at the practice.

Dr Richard Hull

Nephrologist

Dr Richard Hull is by far the most patient friendly, informative and clear doctor I have ever met. He is engaging, detailed in a sympathetic way and understanding. Doctors often have a comfortable bedside manner but I have never had a consultation where I have walked out feeling as though I’ve understood so much about what is going on and what is happening next. Thank you.

Mr Amgad Nakhla

Mr Amgad Nakhla was excellent, my partial knee replacement has been a complete success. From my first appointment with Mr Nakhla, I fully trusted him and and immediately felt assured that I was in capable hands. I was very nervous about the operation, however Mr Nakhla listened to my concerns and put me at ease. I will forever be grateful for how he has improved my life.

Dr. Omer Ahmad

Gastroenterologist

Dr Ahmad explained everything before and after the procedure thoroughly and in a way I could understand. The procedure itself while not pleasant was definitely easier than I expected. The whole experience was much less unsettling than I originally expected when given the diagnosis. Dr Ahmad and his team were calming, professional and made me feel completely at ease.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Undergone some periodontal treatments for the last few months with Louise. I cannot fault her or the practice. Extremely professional, approachable and makes you very comfortable during treatment by explaining what she will do. I have no hesitation to recommend Dr Louise O’Dowd or Vermilion as a clinic if you suffer from gums disease. First class!

Mr Andy Chin

ENT Surgeon

Andy was very friendly and was great at explaining everything to my 9 year old son as well as to me. He had previously operated on my daughter and I had no hesitation in booking an appointment with him when my son required a consultation.
