Dr. Olena Edwards-Skadowska

Psychotherapist

After carrying childhood trauma for decades, I finally found the courage to seek help in my mid-50s. I'm incredibly grateful that I was connected with Tina Foley at London Trusted Therapy for an intensive EMDR programme. Over 10 sessions, Tina guided me through EMDR therapy with such kindness and gentleness that I felt safe exploring deeply painful memories I'd avoided for years. Her extensive knowledge and experience were evident throughout, yet she never made me feel rushed or pressured. She understood exactly how to pace the work to match what I could handle. The changes have been remarkable. The symptoms that once dominated my daily life have significantly improved. I feel lighter, more present, and finally able to move forward rather than being held back by my past. If you're considering EMDR therapy and wondering whether it's worth trying, I can only say that working with Olena has genuinely transformed my life. Her skill, compassion, and expertise created exactly the healing environment I needed.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

This was my first colonoscopy procedure so I didn’t know what to expect and was quite anxious. Looking at the patient reviews on this site beforehand really helped me so I wanted to add my own comments here as well. The 2 day preparation for my late afternoon procedure (fasting and drinking the cleansing medication) was actually the worst part, however I followed the instructions and kept myself very hydrated throughout, that along with a couple of boiled sweets in the last couple of hours to stop the hunger pangs really helped. The clinic staff were all really friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived and talked me through the process throughout so I knew what to expect. I had sedation for the procedure itself which was completely painless, and I got the results quickly. At all times my wellbeing was prioritised by the staff, with 1 to 1 nursing and a very welcome drink and biscuit afterwards. Special thanks from me to Roberta and Dr Khan, and my aftercare nurse whose name I forgot (sorry!)

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery on both eyes on 4th December 2025 and l was discharged today, 12th January 2026. I'm so pleased to say l don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. From start to finish, my experience at Freedom Vision Chelmsford was exceptionally good - and my end result is superb vision. - more than l could ever have hoped for. Colours are radiant and bright, and probably the biggest bonus for me is feeling so much more confident driving at night. After undergoing rigorous tests and scans , the actual procedure is very quick and painless. All the staff, without question were delightfully kind people and I'd like to thank them all individually, if only l knew their names. But in particular, l'd like to thank Nicola who guided me patiently and expertly throughout the whole procedure, and a massive thank you to Mr Hove , my surgeon, for being such a genius. If you are contemplating cataract surgery, l urge you to go for it - don't be scared - you won't regret it!

Mr Wassim Hassan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had a hysterectomy with Mr Wassim Hassan, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. He made me feel completely at ease throughout the process, thoroughly explained everything in detail, and was incredibly patient—when I didn’t quite grasp the medical terminology, he rephrased it in simple, everyday language that I could easily understand. His skill and care during the procedure were outstanding, and my recovery has been straightforward. I also want to recognise his assistant Marie—she was superb! Always responsive, helpful, and reassuring, which made coordinating appointments and dealing with any questions so much less stressful. The combination of Mr Hassan’s expertise and Marie’s fantastic support made what could have been a daunting time feel manageable and even positive. Thank you both so much—I couldn’t recommend Mr Hassan and his team highly enough.

Mr Robert Grounds

ENT Surgeon

Robert Grounds provided an exceptional initial consultation in respect of my ongoing balance issues following a stoke I suffered a year ago. His questioning to find out key areas of my background and relevance to balance issues was impressive. I was pleased that all initial balance tests were completed within the initial consultation and this left me with answers immediately to explain my condition. I was incredibly impressed to receive Robert Grounds full letter just a few hours later via. the portal with a detailed summary of his findings explained in very clear terms which was remarkable. Truly exceptional service from an amazing professional. Highly recommended.

Dr Jayshri Shah

Gastroenterologist

Attentive and thorough care received. Pitt that Benenden policy prevents sharing of imaging results so that another professional caring for patient can compare notes. Resulted in 1 month delay with MEI brain which required further investigation by CT when ENT specialist went on leave for a month and sane with CT abdo as follow up appointment planned alnost a month after test and had to be under care of another specialist abroad. The Secretary catehorically refused to send report citing Policy. Not the Doctor's fault but when Drs cantl't follow up for a month, reports should be shared.

Freedom Vision - Bromley

Ophthalmology

Thanks to everyone at Freedom Vision in Bromley for giving me a positive experience throughout my time with them.  I was very nervous to have the procedure, but it went smoothly and led to an excellent outcome.  Having had my cataracts removed from both eyes and RayOne Galaxy Toric multifocal replacement lenses fitted, I now have amazing eyesight for distant, intermediate and near vision.  I am especially grateful to the optometrist and the surgeon for their expertise and care, and to Chirag, the Patient Liaison Manager who always made me feel well supported.

My recent visit to the Fortius Clinic for removal of stitches and a post operative assessment was short, on time and to the point. On arrival, as always for previous appointments, the reception staff were briefed and I was immediately sent to the correct location, waiting time in a comfortable environment was minimal before being called in to see my surgeon, Mr Houlihan-Burne. who took the time to answer a few questions. and assure me that should there be any future queries or worries, he & his staff were always available. Many thanks

No problems with check in or with the meeting with Mr Krkovic. However the hospital is showing signs of neglect. The loo in the corridor outside Trinity Suite had no paper towels and and a completely overflowed waste bin. The coffee machine in Trinity was broken in October and is still broken in January. The former quite serious, the latter not serious but to be not fixed over so many months suggests neglect and that always raises the possibility that things I can't see are also neglected. SIte management needs shake-up.

Mr Ako Nnochiri

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Highly recommend Mr Nnochiri. I had an open myomectomy surgery last year December (2025). The best decision I made for myself by far, I trusted my gut and went with the best surgeon. Mr Nnochiri is calm, attentive and understanding you feel seen which is very important and considering my journey with fibroids my mind was at ease. I’m extremely appreciative and grateful of my experience. Thanks again Mr Nnochiri! Sian.

Spire Leicester Hospital

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 3 more

From my GP referral to my initial appointment it was less then 2 weeks. Before surgery I had 3 post operation assessments. The operation was completed as a day admission. I was kept full informed and treated with kindness and respect by all the staff. Mr Bhardwaj saw me on the morning before the operation and again later after it had been completed. Again, I was kept fully informed about my condition.

Dr. Ferhat Uddin

General Practitioner

Dr Uddin has a bed side manner that puts one at ease, whilst being professional and explaining answers to questions clearly and in detail. I felt comfortable with her and left feeling informed and at ease. It’s great to know that Chartfield have so many great practitioners- keep that bar high! Thank you for continuing to exceed expectations and outperforming that which we are told on the news.

Mr Jonathan McFarlane

Urologist

Jon could not have been more professional and helpful regarding my condition throughout my consultations. He used his obvious wealth of experience in his specialty to explain the detail of my problem in an empathetic but not patronising manner, and understood and accepted the basis upon which I decided to go forward. I would not hesitate to recommend Jonathan McFarlane.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

I have been extremely impressed from start to finish by everyone's professionalism, efficiency and courtesy. The procedure was clearly explained to me in advance, it all went smoothly and I have had a follow up consultation. I am very grateful to the surgeon and all the medical and administrative staff. A great team.

Mr Robert H Taylor

Ophthalmologist

Dr Taylor carried out a strabismus procedure on my right eye correcting it to a more straight ahead position. After 30 years of compensating for this it’s now significantly improved thanks to the procedure he carried out. All the way through he was informative and reassuring and I am incredibly happy with the result.

Plenty of spaces in the carpark. Paying for parking was easy once I’d downloaded the app. Was worried about finding where I had to go in the hospital, but a member of staff who was carrying out lift maintenance at the time, kindly guided me in the right direction.
