London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Thames View at Charing Cross Hospital

Allergy Medicine, Audiology, + 39 more

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

Spire Manchester Hospital

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 11 more

Walking into Spire hospital at Manchester, I was greeted by really good reception staff who listened to what I said and then made it happen. It felt very well organised. Into the wards/clinics for treatment, I was again greeted by friendly, confident staff who quickly put me at ease and explained what was to be carried out. All of my tests/treatments were carried out very professionally, on time and with care and respect. I felt comletly at ease throughtout. 5 Stars in every respexct for the clinical staff and Spire Manchester. Bad Experiencies. Dealing with the Spire Online/ Phone back office and Booking System. It was diabolical in all aspects. It appeared to be very dis-jointed and not able to pass information on internally nor take notice of what I told them. I received meaningless paperwork that bore little resemblance to what was to be done and its timeline. The night before treatment, around 8 p.m., I even received an email that told me all my procedures/ tests were to be carried out in Liverpool, not Manchester. Very poor level communications from Spire admin. very bad experience for me.

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

Miss Joanna Franks

General Surgeon

I am truly grateful for the care I received from Dr Franks. She is one of the most caring, compassionate and highly professional doctors I have ever met. From the moment I walked into her office, she made me feel heard, understood and supported. Her ability to combine deep medical expertise with genuine empathy is remarkable. It's clear that she is deeply committed to her patients' well-being. Her kindness, professionalism, and dedication made a difficult time so much easier. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under her care, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a doctor who truly goes above and beyond.

Willow Health

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I have had various symptoms of perimenopause over the last year or so but it came to a head a few months ago when i had a severe panic attack and seemed to develop anxiety. I am finding this difficult to cope with and the GP didn't seem to help me. I met with Dr Colquhoun and she was lovely, provided me with alot of information and advice and took me and my symptoms seriously. As a result I now have a course of action and have had HRT prescribed and a coil fitted. Whilst this is all new to me, i am feeling very positive about this plan and hopeful that I can start to feel like myself again!

Real You Medical Aesthetics Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

I recently visited Dr Kathryn at The Real You Clinic for some botox. She took the time to listen to everything I said, and gave very good advice, and I am very happy with the results. Most of my lines have disappeared, ond even the couple of deep forehead lines I had, now appear so much softer. She has achieved this, while still maintaining a natural look., which was exactly what I wanted. The clinic is in a lovely setting and always feels very clean and welcoming. I would 100% recommend Dr Katnryn to anyone looking to get botox.

Mr Ricardo Peixoto

Ophthalmologist

My waiting time for tests and seeing my Consultant was minimal, especially considering the awful and treacherous snowy road conditions that day. Nursing staff were courteous, professional and friendly as was my Consultant, who even apologised for my waiting time, caused by the snowy/icy weather. My medical information/results were explained clearly to me and any questions were answered fully and satisfactorily. Everyone was respectful of me and my feelings . It was a courteous, friendly and extremely professional experience.

Dr Duncan Birth

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I've been under Dr Duncan's care for the birth of both my daughters, and failed pregnancies in between. He and Colette have been incredibly supportive throughout our journey, and provided the reassurance that we needed during my most recent pregnancy with scans every fortnight. I had a second c-section in October, and everything went smoothly. My incision is neat, and healed quickly without issue. I really cannot recommend him enough.

Mr Yasser Abdul Aal

General Surgeon

MrAal was very professional and explained things very clearly. He informed me of the pros and cons of having an operation without pushing me one way or the other. The only thing was he was a bit optimistic about the recovery period. He said I would be driving within a week. The nurses and the paperwork said at least two weeks before driving. I am a week after the operation and am nowhere near being able to drive.

Mrs Ewa Kozlowska

Audiologist

Ewa is professional and friendly. She explains everything clearly, and creates an atmosphere of calm professionalism together with empathy. She explains everything, and answers questions in a way that can be easily understood. As an 80+ year old, I attend several health checks, and the ones at VIP Hearing Solutions are the only ones where I don't feel nervous and apprehensive.

Ms Katharine Hurt

Respiratory Doctor

I was mistaken impressed by Ms katharine Hurt A true professional- will stop at nothing to make sure she will get you on the road to recovery. Also what impressed me was her mantra - ‘We will make sure we get you well again’ Knowing what to say to a patient is most important- it’s the placebo effect- and gave me confidence- Thank you Ms Katharine Hurt Simone R.

Miss Lamia Zafrani

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Bit of a delay to be seen but it was a very busy clinic and is to be expected. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Miss Zafrani was a lovely lady who made me feel at ease and explained the procedure so well and answered any questions that I had. Hope to see her again for my C Section as she had a calming aura. Thanks 🙏 Jenna

Dr David Moreno Ajona

Neurologist

Dr Moreno has been my consultant for the past year. His care has been excellent, and he explains everything very well. I selected Dr Moreno as a migraine specialist for a second opinion. He has worked with me to find the best treatment plan and for the first time in many years my migraines are improving.

Mr David Cumming

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Cumming was super clear in all his explanations. Very efficient in that his follow up letter and referral were sent immediately after the appointment. Helped point me in the right diction with medical issue beyond which I went to see him about. And he was always on time with his appointments
