Dr. James Howard

Cardiologist

I had an exceptional experience with Dr Howard and cannot recommend him highly enough. From the outset, the consultation was calm, professional, and reassuring. The cardiac MRI itself was conducted efficiently, but what truly set this experience apart was the time and care taken afterwards to explain the results. The findings were explained clearly, systematically, and in a way that was both thorough and easy to understand, without being rushed or patronising - this shouldn’t be taken for granted! I’ve had previous imaging visits where I didn’t feel like I fully understood the results or the next steps. Every question I had was addressed thoughtfully, with clear reasoning and genuine engagement. I truly felt heard by Dr Howard. It was obvious that this was a clinician with deep expertise, but also someone who places real value on patient understanding and reassurance. I left the appointment feeling fully informed, confident in the conclusions, and reassured about my future care. I felt like I received outstanding clinical care, combining excellent diagnostic expertise with exceptional communication and genuine warmth. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Howard to anyone seeking high-quality, patient-centred cardiac care.

The communication from Skylignt is poor. My final report stated I did not complete 2 of the questionnaires, which I did, as I saved copies of my answers in case technology failed. Nobody chased these missing questionnaires and the response time when I did contact the admin team was 15 working days each time. All of the timescales I was told from start to finish were very inaccurate. Some of these timescales are still on the website. From referral to acknowledgement I was informed 6-8 weeks and it was 9 weeks. From acknowledgement/forms to initial appointment I was informed 8-12 weeks and waited 16 weeks. From assessment to report I was told 8-10 weeks and it was 14 weeks. I have been told 9 months from October until medication titration, but I can’t trust that this timescale is accurate. The staff are very friendly and helpful and brilliant when you do have an interaction with them, but the volume of work must be beyond current capacity to provide such inaccurate information to patients who are seeking support/diagnosis for a condition that requires accuracy and creates a high level of anxiety.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

Considering i am a private patient very Dissapointed. 1. I was contacted after making the initial appointment asking where i had my MRI scans. I gave the lady all details only to be contacted again the next day stating they could'nt locate them. I then gave them more comprehensive details and was assured if any issues i would be contacted. I attended the practice for the consultation on 27/11/25 only to be told by Mr. Bacon we could not proceed as he did not have my scans. I proceeded to to ask for the pre med tests during which an anneasatist was very rude to me because unfortunatly i have a needle phobea. 2. Prior to the operation i rang to ask that during the operation day is there somewhere for my partner[ ie. in the ward room etc] and informed yes. She was informed on arrival at 6.30am with me that she was not allowed on the ward until 6pm . We had travelled 80miles to the hospital that day. If we had been informed prior too alternatve arrangements could have been made for her.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Emersons Green

Dentistry, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 6 more

Overall experience was poor. After initial consultation I had little or no contact with the hospital, any contact was initiated by myself. Clear lack of communication between departments. I had already paid for my procedure and waiting for a surgery slot. Surgery was scheduled for a Wednesday but received a call the Friday before basically saying if I didnt drive up that day and do a blood test, the operation couldn't go ahead. Luckily I was in a position where I could do that but imagine if I had kids, couldn't get out of work, had no car/transport. The list goes on. The actual surgery seems to have gone well. (1 week post op). But.... the whole experience was pretty poor, no, very poor. I'd have been upset if this was the NHS but this was a privately paid procedure and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already booked time off work, staff cover, kennels for my Cane Corso's (which wasn't cheap) I genuinely would have asked for my money back and gone somewhere else.

Physio Remedies

Acupuncture, Hand Therapy, + 3 more

I ruptured my Achilles tendon playing squash last September. My consultant surgeon strongly recommended Physio Remedies, who have an excellent reputation for helping athletes recover and return to sport in the best possible condition. I’m being treated by Naomi Murray, who closely follows the latest international research on Achilles injuries, which is very reassuring. The rehab plan has always been clear, progress has been excellent, and follow-up is very responsive whenever I have questions. Her patients’ recovery and long-term outcomes are clearly a genuine priority for her. The facilities at the Lansdowne Club are also outstanding and make a real difference to the quality of the rehabilitation. I would definitely recommend Physio Remedies.

Nuffield Health The Holly Hospital

I always find the receptionists at The Holly difficult to deal with. The booking in experience is poor as one often has to wait for ages whilst the receptionists are on the phone or chatting or apparently doing something on their computers. It is a pity as the doctors and nurses and other staff including the porters at The Holly are extremely good. The receptionists in both the outpatients area and the scan receptionists need better training and better management. I would say however that the GP area receptionists and the front desk receptionists are very nice and very helpful so I have no issues with them.

Mr Andy Chin

ENT Surgeon

Mr Chin recently carried out my Septoplasty and Turbinate surgery at Ross Hall, Glasgow. From the initial consultation through to the procedure itself, he has been an absolute gentleman. He’s takes so much time to explain the condition and all the options and does so in such a friendly manner. He has also emailed on several occasions to assist with some queries and provide me with all the info I needed about my treatment and aftercare. Very grateful to him and would urge anyone with any ENT related condition to get in touch as you would get the very highest standards of care. Thanks Andy.

Mr Nev Davies

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Nev Davies was diligent in his approach to assessing the cause of my knee pain. Following X-Rays and MRI scans he diagnosed the issue and recommended a course of treatment which was 100% successful. Nev's communication is friendly and clear. All consultations were communicated back to my regular GP through clinic summary letters. I have nothing but absolute praise for Nev's work and I will certainly seek him out if I need to consult on any knee issue in the future.

The care shown by the whole team, from the Anaesthetist, Consultant, Theatre team, Nursing staff, to the lovely ladies who delivered tea and biscuits, was exemplary. I felt very cared for by everyone who was part of my admission, which made a stressful experience so much easier. A particular shout out to the lovely Donna, who went above and beyond with her kindness and support. Thank you Spire, you felt like a very safe pair of hands.

Dulwich Podiatry

I would like to say how impressed I have been with treatment I received from Zack. He has a professional, friendly manner and clearly wants to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients. He ensured that I understood every step of my treatment. I did not feel at all rushed during my appointments as Zack gave me time to ask questions and he responded to these in detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Dr Mark Weatherall

Neurologist

Dr Weatherall was the first doctor I've spoken to who truly understands and took my issues seriously, recognising migraines aren't normal and are impacting life! He explained everything thoroughly and made me feel like the issue was being properly addressed with plan A, B, and C already sorted. He was very helpful arranging these with my GP and making sure everything was super transparent.

Mr Anshul Sobti

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I want to express my sincere gratitude for the care Dr Sobti and his team have provided to my son. The support we received has been exceptional. the team’s professionalism and kindness made a significant difference, and we truly appreciate the high standard of care provided. I will certainly recommend Dr Sobti to others.

Mr Muhammad Tayyab

General Surgeon

The doctor was extremely pleasant and made me feel comfortable. He had time to listen which was more than my own doctors. He explained thoroughly his thoughts on my problem and what he was prepared to investigate. I'm glad I made the decision to chose hi.m.

Dr Jonathan Hasleton

Cardiologist

Put my mind at ease as I have a lot of history of heart disease in my family.. only thing I was surprised at it was only 15 minute appointment and should of been 30-45 minute with a free body composite scan which I didn’t have..

Mr James Crinnion

General Surgeon

I saw Mr Crinnion recently for a hernia repair. From the initial consultation through to the procedure itself, Mr Crinnion was very professional, managed my expectations well, and provided an excellent overall experience.
