Professor Nick Panay

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

When booking the consultation with Nick Panay, the earliest available date was 2 months in advance. I was required to pay the full £395 under pressure at time, being told that the consultation would be lost unless I paid by 5pm. My understanding that this appointment would be for specialist, in-depth input tailored to a complex clinical history. Given that context, I was disappointed that the consultation felt limited to a reiteration of guideline-based recommendations, with little opportunity to explore causation, individual nuance, or the specific questions I had prepared. At several points during the consultation, I felt that my questions were closed down rather than explored, and the overall tone felt more directive than supportive. Given my long and complex medical history, I had hoped for a more compassionate and collaborative approach. Instead, I left the consultation feeling unheard and dismissed, which was distressing. I had hoped for greater depth and collaborative discussion, particularly in light of the significant upfront cost. I was given no additional value beyond what I already knew and was told in any case, that I required a further consultation to finalise a treatment plan. I have been in contact with the practice and explained that the consultation did not meet the reasonable expectations set by the cost, structure, or positioning of this service. I appreciate that since, I have received a considered response from the Practice Manager and the consultation and fee are being reviewed.

Dr Farah Rehman

Oncologist

Dr Rehman is exceptional! In this meeting, as in all the others, she demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the issues and her communication was excellent. She always brought us into the solution by helping us understand her prescription choices and the rationale behind them. Further, she paid attention to what we had to say about the symptoms etc. and importantly, also our state of mind and opinions. This was particularly reassuring. When she couldn’t give us exactly what we requested or suggested, she always helped we understand why and then provide more suitable alternatives. She came up with some treatment suggestions that we weren’t initially keen on but on further reflection, realise those may actually be perfect. In this meeting, as with all the others, she demonstrated, professionalism, knowledge understanding and empathy. And it’s perhaps her empathy and care that have always stood out the most, and given us that needed reassurance throughout the process.

Mr Ian Hunt

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I had my surgery performed 4 weeks ago, at Spire St Anthony's Hospital, by Mr Ian Hunt. On the afternoon of the surgery date, he went through everything and confirmed a few things. I was extremely nervous and I worked myself up before the surgery. Mr Hunt and his anaesthetist, Dr Dassen Ragavan really reassured me and put me at ease. Mr Hunt is very much needed in this world., he is an absolute treasure. When I was in the recovery room after surgery, he visited my wife and daughter, and let them know that it was successful and everything went well. When I was back in my room, he visited us again and explained what happened. Even though it was a very stressful day for him, he was still smiling. He visited me every day during my stay. I am so grateful to be one of his patients and I await having my left side operated on by him for my slipping rib syndrome. Thank you so, so much.

Professor Stephen P Pereira

Gastroenterologist

Professor Pereira is not only an outstanding specialist but also genuinely personable and approachable. From the outset he made me feel at ease, listened carefully, and explained everything in a way that was clear and reassuring. At a time when I was dealing with a complex and worrying health issue, his calm manner and empathy made a real difference. He is clearly supported by a very experienced and professional team, which added greatly to my confidence and sense of safety throughout my care. I never felt rushed, and I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously. His experience and judgement were evident throughout, and I felt completely confident in his care. I would highly recommend Professor Pereira to anyone needing expert pancreatobiliary care.

Mr Rhys Thomas

General Surgeon

I had a 5 star experience,from start to finish. I cannot thank mr Rhys Thomas , his secretary and all the staff at Blackheath hospital enough they were all absolutely fantastic,and would recommend anyone who needs hernia treatment to go with mr Thomas and Blackheath hospital. He made me feel at ease and was very precise with his explanation. I had a sensitive issue and again Mr Thomas and his amazing secretary arranged everything with no complications. I have had my follow up and everything is going well and mr Thomas reassured me any issues that might occur he and his team will address it but I’m well on the road to recovery,so not expecting any complications but reassuring to know he is there if needed, so thank you again .

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

Pleasant waiting area with self-service drinks available. Within an hour you are called and escorted into the preparation/recovery room where you are prepared for the operation and the procedure is explained including a visit from the surgeon to check if you have any questions. The operation takes place in the adjacent theatre where again efforts are made to keep you informed as to what’s happening and before you know it you are escorted back to your recovery area for water and a biscuit. Staff were pleasant and attentive at all times. Once thoroughly checked out you return to the waiting area to be collected by your escort who has already been called to say your are ready for collection. I was back home within 2 hours

Mr Michael Wilson

General Surgeon

Dr Michael Wilson I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Michael Wilson and the care I received for my hernia repair. From my first consultation through to post-operative follow-up, Dr. Wilson was professional, reassuring, and extremely thorough. He took the time to clearly explain the procedure, answer all my questions, and put me completely at ease. The surgery itself went smoothly, thanks to his skill and attention to detail. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process, and the results have been excellent. Dr. Wilson is an outstanding surgeon who combines expertise with compassion, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing hernia repair or surgical care.

Raynaud's Clinic

Rheumatology

I had an extremely positive experience attending the Raynaud’s clinic. I was given ample time during the appointment and never felt rushed, which made a real difference. I felt genuinely listened to and involved in the conversation throughout. Louise Parker was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to really understand my symptoms and concerns. Together we unpicked my individual triggers, which was both reassuring and informative, and we agreed a clear, tailored plan moving forward. I left the clinic feeling more confident in managing my condition and would highly recommend this service to others.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

The waiting has been difficult as communication has been poor. I have struggled to get a response from the office both via email and phone. I had a combined assessment and received my ADHD outcome 3 weeks ago. I am still waiting for my autism assessment outcome despite being told the clinical decision has been made. The staff I saw as part of my assessment were fantastic and the support team have been helpful (when I’ve been able to contact them). It’s just a shame that the poor communication has spoilt the overall experience. It would have been good to under the process flow at each stage.

Mrs Claire Langton Hewer

ENT Surgeon

I am transformed! I came to see Mrs Langton Hewer because I had suddenly gone completely deaf in one ear. She listened to me when I explained my anxieties and then examined my ears. She diagnosed otis externa which was causing pain and there was water behind the wax causing deafness. She then very carefully removed wax and debris from my ear and my hearing was immediately restored. I am so grateful that this was diagnosed so expertly and then sorted out immediately. I would strongly recommend her for ear problems and for removal of ear wax. Thank you.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I had a knee replacement and had a reaction to the anaesthetic which resulted in me having to spend several days in bed vomiting copiously. The staff were so supportive and caring; the nurses couldn’t help enough, the porters, physios, catering staff and cleaning crew were good natured , helpful and thorough. Since arriving home I have had numerous phone conversations with Horder staff, who have been reassuring and helpful with my recovery.

St John & St Elizabeth Hospital

Paediatric Cardiology, Cardiology, + 33 more

Dr. Kapur was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, thorough in her examination, and confident in creating a plan to manage and treat my condition. She has working relationships with several other physicians locally to whom I was referred for further testing. We scheduled a follow up visit for next month to assess progress and discuss treatment options. I left feeling supported and hopeful. Thank you, Dr. Kapur!

Dr Saqib Chowdhary

Cardiologist

After some worrying blood results I made an appointment to see Dr Chowdhary. He is highly professional, approachable and offered calm reassurance following a thorough review of my circumstances. He has a gift for explaining complex medical issues in a clear and straightforward manner. I am delighted to recommend him without reservation and I have already booked a follow up consultation in the New Year.

The Salisbury Practice

Clinical Psychology, Psychology, + 1 more

I can’t thank The Salisbury Practice, and in particular Dr Steve Holmes, for the excellent support and help towards managing my chronic pain. The care and kindness shown towards me was amazing and I have greatly benefited from seeing Dr Steve. The Practice is a calm and reassuring place where I was always welcomed with warmth and compassion. I would highly recommend The Salisbury Practice.
