Find your trusted Doctor

Dr Matthew Robert Gibson

Radiologist

After seeing one doctor who was very much "your body will get used to it", so glad to find Dr Gibson who was more sympathetic to my symptoms. A few months (and two negative FNA's) later I have now had one session of RFA to shrink some annoying thyroid nodules. Early days, but fingers crossed symptoms will start to go away soon. Dr Gibson throughout has been very good, and has a very calm and nice way about him that puts you at ease when your not sure what to expect. All 3 procedures I have had have been well explained to me and I have been well looked after by him and his team of nurses, everyone very good at checking you are ok thoughtout too. He has also been very understanding and helpful regards my job situation and loss of Bupa cover. In the franticness of the Royal Berks Hospital (not there fault, just very busy!) his calmness helped settle my nerves and it was very much a case of anticipation being well worse than the procedure itself. Fingers crossed the procedure works for me, early days, but would definitly recommend it to anyone ahead of thyroid removal for anyone whos thyroid is working fine. I would recommend him 100%! (Although he was a little mean having a cup of tea with me just before the RFA when I wasnt allowed anything! But I'll let him off that bit)

I attended for spinal MRI. Unfortunately the technician was running late for which I was happy to wait but because of timing his communication to me was very poor. I was shown a room to change and left there without any guidance, I was then taken to the MRI machine and not spoken to really to ask if I was okay or to provide any reassurance. I don’t like MRI scans because can feel anxious within the machine. All it takes is a little bit of reassurance and acknowledgement for which I had none. Throughout the test the technician did not speak to me at all to ask if I was okay. I am not sure if this is normal but I found during the MRI it became quite hot which I have not experienced before. When the test was over he hurried me away from the machine without acknowledging my back could be hurting when getting up, which it was a little. He didn’t show me to the door so I had to ask if I was allowed to go and then left the room to change and go home. My review would be it is the smallest common curtesies that makes all the difference to a patient and this time I did not experience this at all. So much so I won’t be choosing to go to this venue for another investigation

Mr Julian Pavier

Podiatrist

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Pavier at The Lincoln Hospital. From my very first consultation, he demonstrated every skill, attribute, and value you would hope for in an outstanding surgeon and consultant. His professionalism, clarity of communication, and genuine compassion immediately put me at ease. Throughout the entire process, Mr Pavier was thorough, patient, and consistently attentive, ensuring I felt informed and supported at every stage. His calm, confident manner, combined with a clear dedication to the highest standards of care, made a significant difference to my overall experience. It is rare to meet a consultant who combines exceptional clinical skill with such empathy and respect for their patients. I am truly grateful for the care I received and would recommend Mr Pavier without hesitation.

I received warm, well informed professional attention throughout my care at St Anthony's Hospital; from outpatients through to discharge. The room was clean, well heated and ventilated, equipment checked and the armchairs comfortable. The unit was quiet. Nursing staff answered call bells promptly and with kindness and a smile. No request was considered a problem. Their level of knowledge and professionalism was excellent along with the standard of care. Physiotherapy care was also excellent and given with respect to my individual needs. Recovery staff were informative and reassuring. Excellent care there too. I include catering staff who also took care in their work. A few glitches with the electronics on the bed and the new bathroom which received prompt attention - the unit has been recently renovated.

One Hatfield Hospital

My experience was very disappointing with the consultant. I was happy for my appointment to be changed just before attending due to the consultant running late. I was very disappointed with the lack of interest and time shown to be by the consultant. I got 10 minutes of his time to be told to cut out caffeine at the cost of £250. I was hoping to receive some understanding of what could be causing recurrent UTI's and reassuring me of any fears of anything sinister i.e bladder cancer. Only to be told this only occurs for around 10/20% of cases. I think what really irked me was he looked at his watch part way through me speaking This I found very disrespectful and rude.

The facilities are spotless and comfortable, and the aftercare support has been excellent. I’m extremely pleased with my recovery and grateful to the entire team at Spire Hartswood for their continued professionalism and kindness!

Then Doctors Gyampoh has seen me for a verbal consultation explained process regarding my concern regarding the condition and scan on the day. After that scan took place with another Doctor. After that Dr. Gyampoh thoroughly have explained my scan,outcome, options and process going forward. Great experience thank you very much. Keep up the good work and experience with patience.

Dr Dennis Barnes

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I’ve received exceptional care from Dr Barnes. He has a calm, steady way of working and a clear ability to understand the situation quickly, while still taking time to explore everything fully. His explanations are clear, never overwhelming, and you leave feeling informed, reassured and genuinely well looked after. It’s rare to find that level of expertise paired with such thoughtful attention. Nancy has also been excellent — organised, kind and consistently helpful, making everything run smoothly from start to finish.

Thoroughly impressed with The Harborne Hospital. The moment you walk in you know you’ve entered a place that really cares. Ultra clean, comfortable and welcoming. Every member of staff had a smile on their faces. As a designer I pay attention to detail and hats off to the person who decided to place Temple Spa scents in the waiting area. Made feel like I was in a 5 star hotel. Such a lovely and pleasant atmosphere. Totally forgot I was in a hospital.

Mr Theodoros Valsamakis

ENT Surgeon

We went to see Mr Valsamakis about our newborns tongue tie. He was welcoming, friendly and professional. He talked us through our options and was gentle and caring with our newborn. When we decided to go ahead with divided the tongue tie he was made the procedure as painless and gentle as possible. He made sure we had a room to feed afterwards and came to check on us - I got the impression he genuinely carded about us and our newborn.

I visted the 2Me Clinic with Dr. Amaechi for a coil removal that I was extremely nervous for after 1 failed attempt by the NHS. From consultation phone call to the procedure, Dr. Amaechi met me with so much compassion, kindness and understanding. She was able to sucessfully perform the prodcedure quickly and effectively - ensuring I was calm and comfortable the whole time. It made a world of difference, thank you!!!

This time I had a video/Zoom call with my consultant. I have replied to previous questions according to my previous experiences when being seen face to face.. As always the Cleveland Clinic makes all medical situations as pleasant as possible …every question I had was answered completely and fully in “layman’s” terms.. It is reassuring to be a patient at The Cleveland Clinic.

Dr Wendy Holden

Rheumatologist

As I would have expected, my consultant put me at ease as soon as I met with her. She took on my concerns and answered them directly. We agreed on a plan and despite a couple of set back's, it was so much by emailing direct to her which resolved any problems and replying within the same day. A great experience considering.

Dr Arvind Vasudeva

Cardiologist

I was referred to Dr Vasudeva after an ECG showed Ventricular Ectopics. I am not in the medical profession but I understand the basic biology of the heart. Dr Vasudeva was able to explain the issues very clearly and gave me confidence that I was in good hands. More tests required to get more data which makes sense.

Mr Andrew Baldwin

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I have had two appointments up to now with Dr Baldwin. Following both appointments, I felt well informed on the procedure I am due to have, everything was explained to me using terminology that wasn’t too medical which was helpful. The risks were clearly outlined and I feel at ease ready for my procedure next month.
