Daniela Stan quite literally saved my life. I originally went to her for a routine abdominal ultrasound. Through her exceptional thoroughness and care, she suggested that I also check my thyroid and breasts — something I had never done before. I was not even aware that breast ultrasound was available as a screening option, as I had always thought mammograms were the only way. During this examination, Daniela found a very small invasive breast cancer at a stage where I had absolutely no symptoms. I had done yearly blood tests and many types of screening, but never breast imaging, simply because I did not know ultrasound was possible. My biopsy specialist and cancer treatment team later told me that Daniela is truly the hero of my story. Had it not been for her expertise and vigilance in finding such a small lesion, a few years later my situation could have been dramatically different. Daniela has many years of experience in both the UK and the US and it shows in every aspect of her work. She is incredibly thorough, highly skilled and deeply compassionate. What also deeply impressed me is that her fees are extremely affordable and she even offers free follow-up scans in cases where she finds lesions — something that speaks volumes about her integrity and genuine care for her patients. I urge every woman to prioritise breast screening and to see Daniela if possible. I will be forever grateful to her — she truly changed the course of my life.

There was a lot of confusion in regards to my follow up appointment post surgery. An appointment was booked and agreed for Monday morning, another appointment was booked for the afternoon in addition to the morning appointment, which I tried to rearrange for the following day and recieved confirmation, that appointment I found out later had not been booked and one was made for the following week, and I had called to confirm the appointment for Monday morning too. I found out later that the Monday morning appointment was cancelled but I was not told this until I arrived for the appointment early. Gill at reception was extremely helpful and was immediately on the case to help me as this was a wound check appointment. She spoke to Nikki and Bev and I was able to be seen very quickly. I appreciated all the help I was given by Gill and she helped me create my next appointment for 6 weeks time and navigate the situation well. The appointment itself was informative and very good. I believe there was a mix up with the lists for the day and it seemed to be that everyone just got confused with what appointments for me were needed to be rearranged/ cancelled. Everything was resolved quickly and calmly, and I thank everyone for their help in resolving this.

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.

Dr Nahed Shaltoot

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Shaltoot is is amazing. She is kind, compasionate and explains everything clearly. The most important thing for me is that she listens to and acknowledges what I am experiencing and feeling. After seening a huge number of gynaecologists over 22 years, constantly beimg told there was nothing medically wrong based only an a few ultra sounds and refused even an MRI, I asked the GP to refer me for a full hysterectomy as I couldn't stand it anymore. I made an appointment with Dr Shaltoot and she was the first gynaecologist to listen to me. She performed my surgery a month after the initial appointment and confirmed it was endometriosis, which I have been certain of for years. I wish I had seen her several years ago before it reached the stage it has. She is the only gynaecologist that I trust.

Dr Andrew Gaya

Oncologist

I attended a follow up consultation with Dr Gaya yesterday during which he gave me my recent MRI and PET/CT scan results. As always, Dr Gaya spent time explaining his findings and action to be taken going forward. We also discussed my current state of health, my planned treatment by the Rheumatology Team and the impact the most recent Rituximab infusion is having. Dr Gaya is always very pleasant, asks relevant questions and is very clear about next steps in the short term whilst having plans for the longer term. I look forward to his encouraging consultations every two weeks. Dr Gaya’s calm, measured, patient manner reflects his professionalism and care towards his patients. He keeps me sane, especially in times of anxiousness !

Professor Francis Chinegwundoh MBE

Urologist

I was extremely anxious to get another cystoscopy as I had a very bad experience on the NHS where I experienced probably the worst pain I have ever had when the numbing gel was pushed down my urethra. Professor Francis throughout the entire process from my first consultation, to the cystoscopy itself was amazing, as were all the staff and nurses. But in particular Francis was able to keep me calm and he took his time when putting the numbing gel in. I felt very little pain, and the experience was obviously not enjoyable but it was the best outcome. So I just want to thank Prof Francis for being very careful, and listening to me.

Professor George Du Toit

Paediatrician

We are currently investigating food allergies in our son and had an excellent experience at this clinic. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome and were made to feel at home. The doctor was extremely approachable, took the time to listen carefully to our concerns, and provided the clear insights and guidance we were hoping for. We felt well supported throughout the appointment and left with a much better understanding of the next steps. We are very grateful for the care and reassurance provided and would highly recommend the clinic to other families going through a similar process.

Mr Giles Stafford

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I valued Mr Stafford's absolute clarity and professionalism at all times. From the German health system, I wasn't used to be taken too seriously with my views, needs and concerns, so, I had previously experienced a lot of frustration. Mr Stafford and his entire team not only achieved excellent results through the operation and after-care, but made me feel I was in charge, was being very well looked after and put in a position where I could confidently go home post op and manage. The healing process seems amazingly fast. I do recommend Mr Stafford's services!

It was a little overwhelming as I was expecting to discuss fitting a coil and whilst that was mentioned, I was advised about having surgery which was unexpected. I found myself agreeing to the surgery despite not knowing much about it. The risks were not explained and I didnt find out how the procedure would be executed or potential recovery time that might be required. I feel a bit confused about whether this is the right course of action or not. I was not pleased to receive a letter that claimed the risks were explained to me, when they were not.

Dr. Vishal Luther

Cardiologist

I had my first appointment with Dr. Vishal, and the experience was very reassuring. He was professional, attentive, and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns. Everything was explained clearly and calmly, which helped me feel comfortable and confident about the next steps. The consultation felt thorough rather than rushed, and I appreciated his clear communication and approachable manner. Based on this first visit, I would highly recommend Dr. Vishal to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate cardiologist.

Mr John Terrace

General Surgeon

I recently had private hernia surgery and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The care was professional and reassuring throughout. I’d especially like to recommend John Terrace, whose clear and calm communication and expertise made everything feel straightforward. The clinic’s facilities were outstanding too — modern, spotless, and designed to make patients feel comfortable and well looked after. My recovery has been smooth, and I’m very grateful for the exceptional care I received.

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.

Dorset Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I found the whole experience excellent and Dr Butcher was incredilbly helpful and explained everything incredibly well and I left feeling much happier about my possible situation. He put my mind at ease. The nurse who did my ECG was very nice and helpful as well as was the lady who sorted out parking so all in all it was a very good experience.

Have been coming here since Sept 2025 for a cataract op, unfortunately unsuccessful. Have been treated for over a year including paying £2K for a steroid injection in my right eye. The CMO has not gone and I still suffer from distorted vision which is adversely affecting my vision and enjoyment in watching sport and playing golf.

The doctors and nurses were very helpful on the day of surgery and were extremely friendly, helping to settle my nerves beforehand. They also had me practice using crutches, including going up and down stairs, to make sure I was capable of getting around during the two weeks I was non-weight-bearing.
