Professor Greg Shaw

Urologist

i underwent a radical prostatectomy for a grade 2 c prostate carcinoma. using the da Vinci robotic system by Professor Greg Shaw. I found him to be easy to talk to and he explained my surgical and non surgical options at our first appointment. He gave me confidence and also explained the possible complications from surgery. I opted for the Robotic surgery which was expertly performed. The first post operative day I was sleepy but absolutely without discomfort. I live some distance from London and as a result I was given the option of a two night stay. The second day i did have a little discomfort to my upper back but it was easily resolved with paracetamol. I was warned by Prof Shaw that this would happen and it was due to the gas that was infused into the abdomen to help with visualisation of the prostate and to to reduce the bleeding. The mild discomfort was gone by day 4 and I was fully mobile by day 2. It is early days and the urinary catheter was removed just under a week ago and although I can feel he need to pass urine at night so I remain mostly dry the sensation has only returned a little during the day but every day is better than the previous one. In short the surgery for me was easy and the post operative course has been good. The urinary problems I was warned about and I feel sure it will be only a week further before I am dry. i would recommend Prof Shaw to you without hesitation he is a most pleasant gentleman and I have confidence in him both as a communicator and as a surgeon.

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional care Mr Hisham Hamed provided over the past ten years. From the very first appointment, he brought not only expertise and professionalism, but also genuine compassion—something that has made all the difference throughout my journey. His calm, confident approach has always reassured me during moments of uncertainty, and willingness to listen, explain, and guide with such patience has helped me feel truly supported. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines extraordinary technical skill with such kindness and humanity, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be under Mr Hamed’s care. He’s simply the best! I’m grateful for his dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and the trust he’s built with me over the years. He has had had a profound impact on both my health and my peace of mind, and I am sincerely grateful for everything he’s done. Mr Hisham Hamed is an exceptional surgeon and an exceptional person, and I cannot thank him enough for the care he continue to provide.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

A month ago I had the arthrosamid injection. I had never heard of it and initially I went online to find out how others were treating their oesteoarthritis. I found the Joint Clinic quite quickly and was amazed to read that this injection would last about 3 years rather than 3 months for the NHS cortisol injection. My knee was causing a lot of pain especially when the weather changed. I was unable to walk properly, I couldn't walk up or down stairs. My work involves walking and I really thought I would have to retire because of the pain. From day 2 of the injection, I was beginning to walk without as much pain, about 2 weeks later I wasn't limping or experiencing pain at all. It took about 3 weeks to be able to walk up and down stairs without pain. I no longer need anti inflammatory drugs (that was always hit or miss if they would work). I am very pleased with the outcome at the one month mark and I hope my knee pain is no more for years!

Mr Adam Critchley

Breast Surgeon

I recently had a breast lift and augmentation with Adam after significant weight loss, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. At 20, I was nervous about such a big decision, and I’ve always struggled with low confidence, but Adam made me feel informed, supported, and confident from the very first consultation. He was thorough in explaining my options, realistic about expectations, and patient with every question I had. For the first time in years, I feel normal again—like myself. I can finally look at my reflection in the mirror without the negative feelings I used to have, and it’s been incredibly freeing. This surgery has truly had a life-changing impact on my confidence. I’m so thankful for Adam’s exceptional skill, kindness, and professionalism, as well as his wonderful team for all their care and support throughout the process.

OSD Healthcare

Pain Management, Breast Surgery, + 47 more

I went to OSD Hemel Hempstead to get my cast removed following my rhinoplasty. When we got there, we were taken straight to the room & were left there for about 20mins for the nurse to find the equipment, upon her return the appointment was rushed and no information was provided for my aftercare. I was asking many questions however, she seemed reluctant to answer any (as simple as, how long do I need to tape for - she couldn’t answer). Following a conversation with my surgeons direct nurse, I found out that the nurse at OSD had not taped my nose correctly, nor removed the glue from my face. I felt rushed out of the appointment & not very well looked after. My surgeon came to review my nose post cast removal which was reassuring & he mentioned that the OSD nurse would provide me with all the information I’d need - she did not.

Dorset Heart Clinic

Cardiology

Overall experience with Dorset Heart Clinic is excellent. We telephoned to book the appointment and able to choose the time that is convenient to us. As a self funded patient, the appointment is very speedy. Administrator is also very informative and helpful including parking. The consultation is very informative and reassuring. We have chosen to see the consultant that we have seen via the NHS as he would be familiar with our condition. The emails followed up also very quick and timely with the consultation report for us to keep for our records. Any concerns have been dealt with swiftly. Overall, a very good experience and have already booked a follow up next month. Thank you Dr Chahal and thank you Tim.

Mr Pranai Buddhdev

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I'm so pleased we made the appointment. This was a stark contrast to the appointment we had in Addenbrookes, and it has highlighted that or appointment a few years ago, was due to a. very valid concern by my son's physiotherapists, and that the response from the consultant at the time, wasn't appropriate. I'm reassured that we have got the right course of action going forward, to be seen at The National Orthopaedic Hospital. I appreciated the time Mr Buddhdev spent, explaining what he can see from x-rays over the years, and this was hugely helpful.

Mr Robert H Taylor

Ophthalmologist

Very thorough exam and picked up an unexpected problem in one eye. He's able to refer me to the right person to deal with that. I have a lot of trust in Mr Taylor. He explains what he's going to do and why and is patient I'm answering all my questions. This is the third operation on my eye. I know why neither worked as well as both he and I would have liked. I am confident that he will use what he has learned from these two experiences to my advantage and have high hopes of a good outcome

HCA Healthcare UK The Princess Grace Hospital

Breast Surgery, Urology, + 8 more

Every one I met at the Princess Grace Hospital was most pleasant and attentive from the reception staff to the nursing staff. All of the nurses I met from the initial welcome on the 5th floor on 19/11/25 to both Halima and Fernanda who looked after me during the night and day were all especially kind to me. there were many others but unfortunately I did not write down their names. I think it would be difficult to think of a better place to be a patient.

Nightingale Hospital

Nursing, Nutrition, + 2 more

The team on the OCD ward incredibly kind caring and compassionate. It's like being part of a family, including the other 5 patients here. Although, it was challenging at times, I've learnt so much about my condition and I now realise that my beliefs does not necessarily mean it's true. If you're suffering with OCD and feel like you're alone or you have nowhere else to turn to, I highly recommend the Nightingale's 28 day inpatient stay.

I was very nervous about cataract surgery but was instantly put at ease by Dr Tint. He explained the procedure in detail and reassured me I was in safe hands. It was also important to me to get the follow up appointments post op and to get the professional feedback which he provided.. Dr Tint was recommended to me by a family friend and I' am so happy that I went with their recommondations.My experience was first class.

Hillsborough Private Clinic

Chiropractic, General (Internal) Medicine, + 6 more

This was my first experience of the Hillsborough Private Clinic and the staff were very professional, knowledgeable and welcoming. While this is an older style building is was well set out and immaculately clean and while I appreciate that space is at a premium a groundlevel toilet facility would be an asset as while I have no mobility issues I can see where climbing stairs to the bathroom could be an issue for some.

Dr. Ginny Ponsford

General Practitioner

I have been a patient of Dr Ginny for about two years, and in that time she has always listened really attentively, believed me and has helped make a huge difference to my wellbeing as I've gone through difficult perimenopause hormone changes. She has helped me find the right treatment for me, and I am so grateful I found her, and that she can offer ongoing support as my hormones continue to change.

Mr Tom Setchell

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Tom Setchell has been my doctor for a number of years. He delivered all three of my children and is now supporting me through the perimenopause. I have never come across a more competent and compassionate doctor than him. You feel seen, heard and like no problem is ever too big or too small. I trust him wholeheartedly with my health, current and future.

Mr David Redfern

Orthopaedic Surgeon

As always, David Redfern was very friendly and professional. Despite being a leading expert in his field, he explained everything in clear, plain language. He took his time to clarify the X-ray results and advised on the next steps in the healing process. I’m very happy with the progress so far and extremely grateful for the care I received.

Mr Ramy Bassily

Ophthalmologist

I cannot speak highly enough of the care that I have received from Mr. Bassily. I was very nervous about the cataract surgeries that I needed for both my eyes, but the professionalism and support from Mr. Bassily (and his team) got me through it with flying colours. I very grateful to him.
