Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

Schoen Clinic Chelsea

Coaching, Holistic Therapy, + 7 more

My care at this clinic has been outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone needing expert psychiatric support for complex trauma. The service is psychiatry-led, with the consultant coordinating treatment plans and supervising input from psychology, occupational therapy, group therapy and trauma modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT and embodied psychotherapy. This ensured that care was coherent rather than fragmented. I initially attended four in-person sessions per week and have now safely transitioned to monthly. The team have specialist expertise in workplace bullying, institutional power dynamics and identity-related trauma, which is unusual to find. The level of understanding and clinical leadership has made a meaningful difference to my recovery, and I could not recommend the service more highly.

Dr Chris Rutkowski

Consultant Allergist

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr Rutkowski for his exceptional professionalism and expertise. He took great care in clearly explaining complex allergy findings and provided thoughtful, evidence-based insight that helped me fully understand my condition. What I valued most was his ability to link the allergy assessment meaningfully to fitness to practise within the healthcare industry, addressing my concerns with clarity, reassurance, and clinical precision. His approach was not only thorough but also compassionate, and it gave me confidence in both my health management and professional responsibilities. I am very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Dr Rutkowski to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, careful, and genuinely supportive immunologist.

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Miss Despina Mavridou highly enough. From start to finish, my experience was exceptional. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and professional, and made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Miss Mavridou took the time to really listen, explained everything clearly, and answered all my questions with patience and care. She was super efficient while never feeling rushed, and I genuinely felt that she went above and beyond to help me. I couldn’t have asked for better support or treatment. Her expertise, attention to detail, and compassionate approach truly set her apart. I am extremely grateful for her care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding doctor. Dr Mavridou is an absolute credit to her profession.

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

My overall experience at the clinic was exceptional. When I first booked my appointment it was scheduled for a week later, but I asked whether there might be any cancellations before then. The team were incredibly helpful and thoughtful — they called me back and arranged for me to be seen the very same day. From start to finish, the service was efficient, compassionate, and reassuring. At what was a very anxious time for me, everyone I dealt with was kind, responsive, and professional. I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout my visit, and I am extremely grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

The imaging team — particularly R. Wilson and L. Kuriakose — were outstanding. Their efficiency, professionalism, and the way they worked with me throughout the treatment were superb. In contrast, communication from the reception team was limited. There was little information provided regarding waiting times or updates, and my next of kin were not kept informed about what was happening or how long the process might take. This created unnecessary uncertainty during an already stressful time. Parking was also extremely challenging, to the point where travelling by train would likely have been easier.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

The waiting area had few chairs and not enough for the people waiting. The people around there that gave me paperwork and told me where to wait, were polite and helpful. The appointment with the consultant was really distressing, I couldn't ask questions and didn't discussed with me the plan, just set up steps without getting me involved on her treatment plan. This experience was very negative from what I expected when you go to a professional asking for advice and reviewing if your body is working well. The consultant is not on the list from next step: dr Anastasia Goumenou, gynecologist

The McIndoe Centre

Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

This was my final follow-up appointment, and I’ve now been discharged from care. Everything was checked thoroughly and I was reassured that my recovery has gone extremely well. What really stood out throughout my journey was the aftercare. I have always felt supported and listened to, and I’m completely confident that if I were to contact Mr John Pereira or the team at McIndoe Centre with any concerns, I would receive a prompt and helpful response. The level of care and professionalism from start to finish has been exceptional, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the outcome.

Mr Geoff Chiu

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Dr Chiu promptly diagonised the need to remove my un-erupted ectopic lower third molar. Dr Chiu listened to all my concerns and answed my questions in detail. Communication was great right from the initial meeting through to post surgery follow up consultation. All meetings were followed up in writing confirming the discussion and actions agreed. Dr Chiu also identified a dental filling which was incorrectly completed by a previous dentist. I found Dr Chiu very knowledgable. I strongly suggest anyone looking for a oral and maxillofacial surgeon to contact Dr Chiu without hesitation.

Dr Philip Alexander

Ophthalmologist

I suddenly saw “shooting stars” on the outside of my vision in one eye. Realising this could have been a retinal tear needing emergency treatment to save my vision, I immediately made a private appointment to see Mr Alexander. The service I received was absolutely fantastic. My eyes were thoroughly examined by Mr Alexander who has an excellent bedside manner. He explained everything clearly, answered my questions and made a plan going forward. Luckily, my retina was intact and no treatment was required. The sense of relief I felt was priceless.

AURA Centre of Dental Excellence & Facial Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dental Care, + 1 more

I recently visited AURA for a routine examination and dental hygiene appointment. The team conveniently scheduled both so I could have everything done in a single visit. Dental hygienist Marta provided a thorough yet gentle clean and polish, along with helpful advice on maintaining good tooth and gum health. Dr Nadine Skipp is extremely knowledgeable and skilled, but also very kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Everyone at AURA was friendly, professional, and welcoming.

London Gynaecology - Harley Street

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr. Muglu has been one of the best consultants I have ever seen. I read his reviews before booking and they are all true. He is kind, patient and explains everything in understandable terms and is never in a rush to get you out and onto the next one! He went above and beyond to advise me even once my gynae tests were completed and we were had to explore other options. The support staff were also always welcoming and attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience. Thank you!

Mr David Gruhl

Podiatrist

I visited David recently to assess my foot following a complex lis franc injury. He was very professional, listened to me and I did not feel rushed. We agreed that I should try orthotics which hopefully will help with my walking. He also recommended footwear going forward. David emailed me the following day to check how my foot was and has kept in touch with various footwear recommendations. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Mr Omar Mulla

ENT Surgeon

My daughter had been dismissed by 3 other doctors after finding a lump on her neck. I was in desperation when I spoke to Natasha. She arranged an urgent call with Mr Mulla and he put in immediate steps for my daughter to have an ultrasound guided biopsy. My daughter was later diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. Without the support from Mr Mulla and Natasha, I dread to think what would have happened.

Mr Will Dean

Ophthalmologist

The whole process was a great one from initial consultations through operations to replace lenses in both eyes, to check ups and advice on what I should expect for my future sight. Will has a great support team - very efficient and friendly. They try to find ways of working round your life (business trips and a last minute meeting in my case). It’s just a good all round experience.

Dr Akeel Alisa

Gastroenterologist

I have my care under Dr Alisa in the past and I insisted that any further follow up is with him as I fully respect and appreciate his vast experience and professionalism. Although he was away, I awaited the final plan to be made by him and as always I was well informed and reassured. Thank you again and your wonderful team including your fabulous PA Louisa
