Absolutely — for a Portland Hospital patient review, I’d make it polished, personal and sincere, while keeping the focus on the hospital and the care your family received. Exceptional Care at The Portland Hospital We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone at The Portland Hospital for the exceptional care, kindness and support we received throughout our child’s spinal surgery and recovery. I am originally from the United States, so I know there are wonderful hospitals around the world. However, I was genuinely amazed by how outstanding The Portland Hospital was. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, organised and welcoming the hospital was. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly caring, compassionate, professional and willing to go above and beyond to support our family during what was an extremely difficult and emotional time. The level of attention to detail was exceptional. We always felt listened to, supported and reassured, and we never felt that our concerns were dismissed or that we were simply another family passing through the hospital. Our child was treated with such genuine care, kindness and respect throughout every stage of the journey. The communication between the medical, nursing and support teams was also outstanding. Everyone worked together to ensure our child received the highest possible standard of care, and as parents, that gave us an enormous amount of reassurance. Following a six-hour operation, our child recovered far better than we could ever have imagined. The care provided at The Portland Hospital played such an important part in making one of the hardest and most frightening experiences we have faced as parents feel more manageable. We cannot recommend The Portland Hospital highly enough. In our experience, it is truly one of the best hospitals in London, and we would have complete confidence choosing The Portland Hospital again for the care of our children or ourselves. To every member of staff who cared for our child and supported us along the way: thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your kindness, professionalism, compassion and dedication will stay with our family forever. We will always be incredibly grateful to The Portland Hospital for taking such wonderful care of our child and our family during such an important and challenging time. With our deepest gratitude, always. ❤️

Mr Tejas Yarashi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

For approximately nine years, I suffered from compression of the ulnar nerve at my elbow. This caused significant discomfort, including waking during the night with pain and experiencing persistent numbness in my little finger. I met with Mr Yarashi for a consultation, during which he explained my condition, the cause of my symptoms, and the proposed procedure to release the nerve in a clear and understandable manner. He took the time to answer my questions and, importantly, gave me the opportunity to consider my options before making a decision about surgery. I ultimately decided to proceed with the operation, and I could not have been more pleased with the care I received throughout the process. In the lead-up to surgery, Mr Yarashi was reassuring and professional, which put my mind at ease. Following the operation, he provided a clear and transparent explanation of what had been done and how the procedure had gone. Having worked as a senior clinician myself for over 22 years, I have a high regard for professionalism, clinical skill, communication, and patient care. I can honestly say that I cannot fault Mr Yarashi in any of these areas. His expertise, professionalism, and approach to patient care were exceptional, and I am extremely grateful for the treatment I received. A top-class surgeon!

Freedom Care Clinics - Manchester

Acupuncture, Chiropractic, + 10 more

My recent visit to Freedom Care Clinics was absolutely outstanding. I am currently in the middle of my physical therapy sessions with them, and every visit reaffirms that I made the right choice. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my physical therapist for their incredible expertise and extensive experience-their professional knowledge truly shines through in every session. The treatment techniques are highly effective, and they take the time to ensure I understand each step of my recovery. Beyond the therapy itself, the clinic is impeccably clean and well-maintained, which adds to the overall comfort and trust in their services. The entire staff is highly professional, welcoming, and attentive to every detail . I can't recommend Freedom Care Clinics enough. They set the gold standard for physical therapy, and I am extremely satisfied with my progress so far. Thank you for taking such great care of me.

Dr Abdullah Mohammed

Cardiologist

Dr Abdullah Was very polite I made us feel at ease straight away. He let me explain everything that I've been going on in the last few weeks and he knew of my past history with AF. New straight away what the problem was and how to deal with it what medications I needed and future treatments. I came away feeling a lot more confident than when I went in and got things moving straight away very fast.the problem was and how to deal with it what medications I needed and future treatments. I came away feeling a lot more confident than when I went in and got things moving straight away very fast. After starting the new medication, it didn't take long before I felt a difference. When we got home and the following few days we were contacted by weed to organise some appointments. I would highly recommend this doctor and have full confidence in him. I can't thank him enough.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Audiology, Cardiology, + 11 more

I believe Ménière’s disease is difficult to diagnose. Therefore, I didn’t get a solid diagnosis for anything and I still feel vulnerable especially having been told to cease taking medication (Betahistine). I understand to a degree the consultants logic but I cannot say I’m 100% confident ceasing the medication, especially having had 2 x vertigo attacks while taking the pills (8mg). I felt the conversation was somewhat hurried and found it a little bit difficult to give information that I thought may have been relevant to my condition. I have had many consultations for various ailments and my feedback has always been very positive. Unfortunately, I cannot honestly say the same about this experience. Nothing was offered to me to try to improve my hearing in my right ear.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! I could not be more happier! From the initial constitution through to both surgeries and the follow up appointments, I can not fault the team at Midland eye especially Mr Barua who explained everything clearly, put me at ease before the surgeries. I did have some doubts that it wouldn’t go as planned but absolutely amazing it has changed my life also shout out to Kate who kept me updated throughout the whole process and worked really hard, it was a pleasure to deal with Kate! I would definitely recommend midland eye to anyone who is looking at eye surgery as the results have been amazing, and better than I actually expected! All the staff at Midland eye have been so helpful through my journey! It’s a shame it’s come to an end!

Dr. Jemma Reid

Psychiatrist

I found Dr Reid to be a very caring and compassionate expert in her field. She made me feel welcomed quickly and at ease during my assessment. She listened well and this was reflected in the thorough assessment report that was quickly provided following my consultation. She created a safe space for me to talk and it was a relief to discuss my symptoms with her. Following my diagnosis, she was reassuring and informative about my symptoms and how I can best move forward in different areas of my life to manage these, so I can be the best version of myself. I felt positive after my consultation and that finally someone clearly understood how I’ve been feeling for my whole life! It was a pleasure to meet Dr Reid and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you.

The National Heart Clinic

Cardiology

An excellent clinic and a very positive experience from start to finish. The clinicians were professional, knowledgeable and caring, with a clear emphasis on patient comfort and duty of care. The clinic is equipped with modern, top-tier diagnostic equipment, and everything felt well organised and efficiently managed. The reception team were welcoming, helpful and professional, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free. The clinic itself is in a pleasant and convenient location, with nearby parking, which made attending appointments very easy. Overall, an exceptionally well-run clinic with excellent facilities, high professional standards and, most importantly, a team that genuinely puts patient care first. Highly recommended.

Dr Husain Shabeeh

Cardiologist, Diagnostic Pathway Specialist

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Husain Shabeeh. Following a referral after an unexpected ECG finding, he was exceptionally thorough, reassuring and professional throughout my consultation. After an ECG and echocardiogram by his exceptional colleagues at OHC, I was incredibly grateful to learn that my ECG was completely normal and my heart healthy and strong. Dr Shabeeh has also arranged seven-day ECG monitoring to investigate any intermittent symptoms, demonstrating an outstanding level of care and attention to detail. A highly knowledgeable, warm and reassuring consultant who gave me complete confidence in his care. I am truly grateful and would recommend him without hesitation.

One Hatfield Hospital

Geriatric Medicine, Neurology, + 21 more

Quoted £220 for consultation got an invoice for £240. Followed up with One Hatfield they said I should only pay £220 and would follow it up and get back to me. No contact at all. Told to phone secretary got told have to pay £240. Had to register POA with reservations desk. All done. Went for appointment told my father had to sign as it was not on their system. Not my problem. They later found it telling me it was linked to finance not reservations. Again not my problem but not very understanding. Wait time for available appointment very good and thorough consultation with full explanation. Due pre admission tomorrow!

Sussex Wellman Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing

Any trepidation in approaching David should be forgotten. I knew him anyway, he having been my GP, and that could have made things a bit more awkward, but no need. He understood where I was coming from straight away, and despite me already being on testosterone replacement gel, he came up with a daily low-dose solution which I tried. Very slow acting but hopefully long term too. Gradually things got better and now I’m back to normal, whatever that is for you! I had almost given up given advancing years, but now I’m so glad I bit the bullet, and sought out David’s clinic.

EK Nutrition

Dietetics, Nutrition, + 1 more

Elle is an amazing knowledgeable professional. She has helped me through many difficult stages in tackling a lifetime of disordered eating. There are no quick fixes or template diets Elle gets to the heart of the issue which, if you struggle with disordered eating is the only way to truly recover. I am grateful to have found her and would recommend her to any one she is a safe space to fall if you are struggling and that is very rare to find in a world of unhelpful media content which can often make us feel worse rather than better! She is phenomenal at what she does!

Miss Harleen Deol

General Surgeon

Miss Deol is beyond amazing. Her calm, professional, and gentle approach has made my whole breast cancer journey so much easier than I expected it to be. She always ensures that I have the best care, and answers every question honestly, and with great kindness. I honestly do not think that I would have made it through my treatment. With my sanity intact. Without her by my side. She is a brilliant consultant surgeon, and just one all-round amazing lady. I feel so lucky to have her in my corner. Thank you Harleen, from the bottom of my heart.

Dr. Chantal Burgess

Dentist

I recently took my mum to see Dr Chantal Burgess for a tooth extraction. My mum is a stroke patient, and Dr Burgess was incredibly professional, considerate, and welcoming. She made us both feel comfortable and at ease throughout the appointment. She explained every step of the procedure clearly, and the nurse who assisted her was equally caring, kind, and supportive. My mum was so grateful to them both and was very happy with her overall experience. Thank you, Dr Chantal Burgess and your wonderful nurse. Wishing you both all the very best!

Dr. Mia Steyn

Dermatologist

I had a consultation with Dr. Mia, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She really took the time to listen to my concerns, was incredibly caring, and was very proactive in putting together my treatment plan. She made sure to include me in the decisions around my treatment and made me feel like an active part of the diagnostic process, rather than simply being told what to do. I left the clinic feeling so much happier and reassured, knowing that I have a clear plan and a doctor who genuinely cares and is there to support me.

Dr Nigel G Stephens

Cardiologist

Dr. Stephens quickly addressed my heart problem and provided clear and concise answers to the three questions I hoped would be answered :- 1. What is wrong 2. Can it be cured or controlled 3. Can I continue cycling and exercising as I have been before I’m so pleased I came to see Dr Stephens as he understands how important cycling is to me and that even at my age (72) I do not want to stop intense exercise and even competing, and he is helping me achieve this.
