Mr Arif Gul

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had spinal decompression after two and a half years of leg weakness and a period of intense pain. I was really lucky to meet Mr. Gul. He had the answers and reassurance straight away. I had been seen by other doctors with varying levels of care and I had become almost resigned that I had lost all the strength in my legs in a very short space of time. I would squat 150kg regularly then all of a sudden I couldn't lift even the bar and I was struggling to get up the stairs. I was worried, anyone would be. For me, the nerves in the spine were being compressed and it was causing this weakness. I had a period of intense pain lasting a couple of weeks. I couldn't walk, I couldn't do anything; I've never been in pain like that. A&E had no idea what to and I was sent away with paracetamol and antibiotics. I left A&E almost on my hands and knees. I met Mr. Gul, some injections were successful but didn’t last, it was clear only surgery was going to fix it. My view on this kind of thing is that if you have a very positive attitude to getting near to as 100% fit as possible, if you have this attitude and you were fit and active before the surgery, you'll recover; quickly too. Mr. Gul sees this from the patients' perspective. He was involved in a car accident and had emergency surgery. His rehabilitation was scheduled for a year and he cut this time frame much shorter through the attitude I’m referring to. I would recommend reading his book which he wrote on this experience, it’ll also give you a measure of the character and quality of the man. Charlotte handles his office, she’ll deal with stuff straight away, a one stop shop for super efficiency. I am incredibly fortunate that Charlotte is there to consider everything. Knowing that when you send her a message, it’s going to get dealt with without any bother has been a wonderful thing. I think that Mr. Gul is lucky to have her and she is lucky that Mr. Gul is so very committed to his work. A brilliant team. Mr Gul and Charlotte, please keep this up for as long as you possibly can. I am immensely grateful for what you’ve done for me.

Miss Neelam Potdar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently saw Dr Neelam Potdar at Spire Hospital in Oadby after suffering with heavy periods since the age of 11, which had become particularly difficult over the last year. From the very first appointment, Dr Potdar made me feel truly heard. She listened carefully to all of my concerns, showed genuine compassion, and explained everything in a calm and reassuring way. She put a clear plan of action together immediately, which gave me so much confidence and relief. During the surgery process, Dr Potdar was incredibly kind, caring, and reassuring, making what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and safe. Of all the doctors I have seen over the years, Dr Potdar has been by far the kindest and most caring. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would encourage anyone experiencing similar issues to seek her care.

Mr Alexandru Budu

Neurosurgeon

I was diagnosed with a tumour in my spine that was compressing my nerves, causing numbness in both legs and difficulty walking. During this time, I had the privilege of being under the care of Dr Budu. Dr Budu was extremely patient and thorough, taking the time to explain my condition and the surgical procedure in detail. His knowledge and expertise were very reassuring, and he always made sure I understood each step of the process. This gave me great confidence that I was in safe hands and would recover well under his care! Just a few days after surgery, I was already able to feel my legs and toes again. Nearly two months later, I am almost completely back to my normal life and can now run and jump again. I am incredibly grateful for Dr Budu’s care and professionalism！🙌

Mr Wissam Abou-Chedid

Urologist

I was referred for treatment of prostate cancer and he provided detailed information of the techniques available for surgery and the outcomes he had achieved so I could make an informed decision. He saw me pre and post-operatively to assess and reassure me and the procedure went very smoothly. He even found time to ring my wife after the procedure to reassure her that it had gone well. On removal of my supra-pubic catheter I had no urinary incontinence which was an an amazing outcome and completely attributable to his novel technique and skill as a surgeon.

Professor Zoe Winters

General Surgeon

Went to Prof Zoe for consultation after a DCIS diagnosis. I was so impressed with her knowledge, experience and guidance. After seeing all my scans and diagnostics she guided me through my type of cancer and what the outcomes should be and gave me help and advice on the things I needed to ask and clarify back to my NHS team . I would highly recommend a consultation with the Prof ..she for me is the best in her field. Additionally she has a wonderful and caring practice manager Jenny who is amazing ..a wonderful help and support you get is first class

Sussex Wellman Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing

I can’t recommend David highly enough. I went in feeling 'off' and he was able to confirm that exactly how I was feeling was reflected directly in my blood tests. It was such a relief to have my symptoms validated by the data rather than feeling like it was all in my head. He explained the results clearly and started a treatment plan that has been life-changing. I’m now feeling in great health, with a huge boost in my motivation and overall energy. If you want a doctor who connects the dots and gets real results, David is the one to see.

Mr Lee David

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a total knee replacement on 11 December and 7 weeks on, I have been discharged. Mr David was amazing, giving clear and easy to understand details of my operation. The first night was painful until my meds were sorted and Mr David visited me after the operation to reassure me of my recovery. I have followed all my physio exercises and I am so pleased with the results. But overall, I am no longer in any pain. I will need my other knee done at some point and will definitely be contacting Mr David for my next operation. Thank you.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Bhandari. He was very attentive and took the time to genuinely listen to all of my concerns. Dr Bhandari is extremely knowledgeable and explained the diagnosis and treatment plan clearly and in great detail, which was very reassuring. The echocardiogram and ECG was performed with great patience and care, with everything explained step by step. I felt well looked after throughout the appointment and treatment journey and would highly recommend Dr Bhandari.

Nuffield Health Brighton Hospital

Always very friendly, attentive, a well-stocked childrens waiting room. On this latest visit we did have a slightly bizzare situation where we arrived, were checked in, weighed and measured, and put into the waiting room. We then received a phonecall - from the next room - explaining that we were late for our appointment. They were very embarrassed and there was no harm at all. Funny though!

Dr. Lowri Bailey

General Practitioner

I was pleasantly surprised and pleased that Dr Bailey remembered me even though I had not been for over 18 months. She had my notes available to go through history but also remembered things from my previous visits. I felt there was good continuation and as always, I found her friendly, thoughtful and professional. She also treats me like the adult, is not patronising or dictating.

Mr Majid Shabbir

Urologist

I was referred to Mr Shabbir after receiving surgery from another urologist that has left me with possible life changing consequences. Mr Shabbir reviewed my case and provided a clear and detailed explanation of the situation and a road map with a potential solution. Mr Shabbir is an amazing communicator and I wish I could go back in time and only ever had him as my consultant!

Dr Jacques is amazing. She is so friendly and makes you feel at ease straight away. She has great knowledge about the menopause and explores all the options to make sure she finds the perfect solution. For me she has changed my life considerably, I feel so much better in myself and I personally couldn’t have asked for a better service. Would highly recommend.

Overall, this was an extremely swift and positive experience from first consultation to post op. care. Mr Jain's approach, professionalism and time was much valued. Ongoing physio at the Spire is super. Still a long way to go to return to a fully functioning shoulder but that's my job! All involved have given me confidence in my ability to heal. Thank you.

Venturi Cardiology

Cardiology

I was seeking advice regarding high cholesterol and interpretation of lipid results, as well as a plan for future treatment. All my questions were answered and a clear plan of action outlined. I couldn’t be more happy with the consultation-only wish I’d taken the opportunity sooner! Excellent service! Thank you

Clayton Ward at Queen Charlotte's & Chelsea Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I stayed an night at the post natal ward after delivery of our baby. I cannot fault the ward or ther care we were given as soon as we stepped in. The staff were so attentive, friendly and supportive throughout our stay. It made our postnatal experience relaxing and stress free
