Dr Shaumik Adhya

Cardiologist

In a word - excellent. I had sent in advance copies of medical consultations and ECGs conducted over the past 3 years by the consultant where I live mostly in France. I also prepared the points that I wished to discuss with Dr Adhya, mainly regarding the side effects of my current medication. He immediately put me at my ease and inspired my confidence. He expressed his views clearly, was extremely helpful in explaining his suggested way forward, and provided the reassurance that I needed. He also, within hours of my visit, very clearly summarised in a letter a summary of the points that we had discussed and his recommended future programme for medication and increased exercise. I will certainly refer back to him at any time I may need to do so in the future, and cannot recommend him too highly enough to any others seeking expert cardiologist advice. I must also add that his PA was first class in her handling of the pre-consultation administration. Very warm and welcoming words and rapid responses to my emails. In short, this was a superb experience all round and I am extremely satisfied.

Dr. Faisal Shaikh

Psychiatrist

I had a consultant review with Dr Shaikh for the re-initiation and titration of medication for a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis, and I was extremely impressed with the care I received. Dr Shaikh reviewed my previous clinical notes in a timely manner, which allowed him to offer me an initial appointment very quickly. He was attentive, professional, and took the time to fully understand my situation and reasons for seeking treatment again. He came across as highly knowledgeable and experienced in ADHD, and the discussion around medication options was clear, thorough, and informative. I felt listened to and supported throughout the consultation. Following the appointment, I received my clinic letter very quickly and was given the opportunity to suggest any amendments, which were addressed promptly. Dr Shaikh also provided a letter of support for education and employment without me having to ask, which was incredibly helpful and thoughtful. Overall, my experience with Dr Shaikh was excellent, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an ADHD assessment.

Mr Michael Hughes

General Surgeon

Mr Hughes has been an excellent doctor for me. He explained clearly my options for treatment, outlining risks and benefits of each option, and then supported me in a friendly and professional manner throughout the process. His surgery was effective, with minimal recovery time because he took care to minimise the side effects which I had suffered from surgery in the past. He also went beyond the requirements of his post in my post-operative care, telephoning me in his own time to ensure that I had made a comfortable transfer to home. As well as first class medical care, Mr Hughes was a pleasure to know. With a nice and always appropriate sense of humour, he lifted my spirits and made me feel comfortable at all times. There was none at all of the arrogance and pomposity which I’ve encountered from others consultants in the past.

Mr Samer Mahmoud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have undergone hip revision surgery under the care of Mr Mahmoud . The treatment i have received to me was outstanding from him and his team. His manor was of a caring and friendly nature explaining my situation and offering choices to have the surgery or to keep observing the hip. Right from the day of admission to hospital i was reassured by all people involved as i a very bad experience the first time round. I wish to give a special mention to the anaesthetist and his team because this was something i really anxious about again reassuring me all the way i can't thank them enough as a result of their kindness and support i was completely relaxed So once again a very big thank you to everyone involved in my treatment.

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

Dr Charlotte Frise is an excellent doctor. Despite the multiple complications I had, she had time for me even when she was off duty. She saw me through until I sailed through. I was never afraid at any point even when I couldn’t breathe and had oxygen of 80% on room air, I was motivated. Her smile was always soothing and reassuring, it felt like family. She treats patients like family and it’s heartwarming in difficult times. I begin to tear up when I express how I feel about the care she gave me. Am very impressed and grateful for her services. The NHS is blessed to have doctors like her.

Experience OK but to have to travel 80 mile round trip with 24 hrs notice was stressful, for the pre-accessment which I had to ask for, as not arranged. If I had been told on the information letter that if I was taking antibiotics I would need to have 4 weeks clear before I could have my procedure, this would have prevented me from excepting the procedure date I had been given. Therefore would have given the date to someone else. I had two weeks notice of my procedure which is OK if all information had been given to me. Find the administration side lacking. Lovely staff. .

Complex Spine London

Orthopaedic Surgery

In a world all consumed with AI and perfection, I can honestly say Mr Fady Sedra outshines AI. 5 Stars for Mr Fady Sedra and the staff at The Cromwell Hospital, after my ACDF surgery I can say Mr Fady Sedra's attention to detail is unmatched. He has an excellent bedside manner and displayed a level of professionalism that is rare to find. Mr Fady Sedra went above and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. The X-Ray of my neck should be in an art gallery as it is truly a work of art by Mr Fady Sedra. I highly recommend for any complex spinal work.

Different time slots and sessions or more flexibility. Clearer communication between services and funders. Digital timetable, links and resources could benefit from being clearer/more easy to find. Mixed bag of staff, although the weaker ones did go quite quickly it still felt as though I was a bit of a guinea pig and didn't get as much from those sessions. Core team very caring, compassionate and supportive. Environment is an downside, a shared office building is not the best setting.

Dr Rakesh Panchal

Respiratory Doctor

I first consulted Dr Panchal in the autumn of 2022 when I was experiencing respiratory distress. He very quickly diagnosed my symptoms and created a care plan, which brought my condition under control. Recently I had an exasperation of my condition so consulted him again. He allayed my fears and explained the next steps in a comprehensive and compassionate manner. Dr Panchal listens to his patients concerns, explains the diagnosis and involves you in your treatment.

Dr Efstathios Theodorou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Some people change your life forever and Dr Theodorou was one of them. We cannot recommend Dr Theodorou enough. He is highly skilled, kind, and genuinely caring, always taking the time to support and reassure me with my treatments. Communication with Meghan was seamless and always helpful. Anyone on a fertility journey would be in the best possible hands we were fortunate to welcome two beautiful children under his care. May you be truly blessed in this lifetime

Mr Swan was exceptional. From the outset, he asked all the right questions and took the time to truly listen to my concerns. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to identify and confirm issues that other doctors had previously missed. I felt genuinely heard and reassured throughout the consultation, and he explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Super helpful and professional — I couldn’t recommend Mr Swan highly enough.

Mr Ian Hunt

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

From the first appointment Mr. Hunt was clear in his orientations regarding my surgery. Communication was precise and helped in the final decision for a full lobectomy. Surgery was undertaken successfully with no complications and all follow ups have been conducted courteously and professionally. Mr. Hunt and his team have at all times showed dedication in my treatment.

Mr Pierre Nasr

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Friendly consultant who explained everything I needed to know about my injury. He showed me the scan results and images and went through what happens next. He answered any questions I had and worked with me to find a suitable return to work plan to allow some strengthening to take place prior to doing so, as not to rush me back too soon (due to the nature of my job).

GenesisCare Surrey

Oncology

Amazing facility and amazing friendly staff - one and all. Treatment has been exceptional and communication second to none. In the nicest possible way - visiting GenesisCare in Guildford felt like going to an upmarket spa rather than going to a medical treatment centre. The treatment was first class. I would highly recommend.
