Kingsbridge North West Hospital

Anaesthetics, Vascular Surgery, + 32 more

The hospital was very clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. The procedure staff were particularly nice and professional. I was very happy with the procedure and the level of professionalism and also good bedside manner. One/two areas which could be improved if you are interested : 1. Pre-procedure information suggested an overall time from entry to release of approx 2hrs. With a 6pm admission time, I assumed I could arrange a collection for 8.30pm with some time to spare. However, on arrival, after approx 1hr 15mins it became apparent that the admission time of 6pm was a general time for 3 patients to be admitted and seen that evening between 6-9pm. I happened to be patient no.2, so was seen around 7.30 and released around 9, meaning I could not use the lift arranged (my wife &kids were ok til then, but not after). This then presented me with a choice of either taxi home or to ask someone at short notice to come and collect me. Had I known the range of procedure/release times in advance, I would have arranged a different, more appropriate, lift from the start. This leads to point no.2 2. I was not made aware of the choice on whether to have sedative or not. The literature states "you will be given a sedative" not that you have a choice. After the delay above, this then created a difficulty whereby if I took the sedative, I could not legally be released to an unknown taxi driver and would have to arrange another lift at short notice or not take the sedative. I opted to not take the sedative. Had I known this option was there, I could have driven myself to and from the appointment. It also would have saved my wife and kids spending time in the car on a busy evening. In connection with this, during the appointment, it sounded like release/recovery after the sedative was likely to be several hours, so release before 10-11pm was unlikely from the start and it was always probably going to be later if I took the sedative. Please don't take the above as criticism, just highlighting that making the choice on sedative clear would have allowed me to more easily plan both my transport. Also providing a bit more detail on the admission/procedure time range and release time range would have allowed me to more easily arrange appropriate transport. Basically, more information would have made things a bit easier is all

The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Medical Prime Menopause Clinic

General Practice (GP)

Medical Prime has been the best service I had ever received. The team are empathetic, professional, hugely experienced & very transparent with regards to treatment. I feel so lucky to be in the very capable guidance & care of Dr Theodora Kalentzi along with Zarina who makes the whole booking process so easy. Going on HRT has been the best thing for me & what is wonderful is how Dr Theodora has such a pragmatic & calm approach. I was in a bit of a broken state not understanding what was wrong. By the end of my first appointment I felt really happy that I was ‘normal’ as Dr Theodora listened & was generous with her time in kindly sharing her knowledge of how this is a normal process that we women go through. How right she was as within a few weeks I felt myself again which was a huge relief. We continue to have regular appointments which are always so calm & helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Medical Prime & the amazing team to anyone. It has been one of the best decisions I have made.

New Forest Psychiatry

Psychiatry

The appointment itself was very positive. Dr. Robert Gordon was calm, validating, and genuinely listened. The room was quiet, warm, and set up like a cosy study, which made it feel safe rather than clinical. He explained the diagnostic impressions clearly at the end in a way that finally made sense, and it didn’t feel dismissive. I left feeling understood in a way I haven’t experienced with other services, although the level of positivity felt unexpected and left me a bit uncertain about how to interpret it. The only issue was the arrival process. My appointment was in the late evening, and reception was closed. It wasn’t clear where to check in, and I had no phone signal. I had to rely on Wi-Fi and the website photos to work out where to wait. Overall, despite the initial uncertainty about the building, the clinical experience was extremely positive. Everything went smoothly, and the assessment itself was very professional.

VIP Hearing Solutions London

Audiology

Very pleasing experience. I was given plenty of time, and had a thorough examination of my ears, with the removal of wax, followed by a full hearing test. I returned a couple of weeks later, and having been shown several different hearing aids, went for ones that fit into the ear, with no wires or pieces behind the ear. I now have them on a months trial to see how I get on with them. I was quoted a price, which I understand I will pay if these are the correct ones for me, but only when I am totally satisfied. There is then a 3 monthly check included in the price. I believe I can try others if these are not right for me, and Mr Clive who I saw, was most helpful and understanding of a lady who hated the idea of wearing hearing aids!

TCM Healthcare Fertility Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

I reached out to TCM after I was told that I had a very low AMH and AFC and that I would likely go through early menopause. This caused me a lot of stress as I had always had regular periods and had never considered that I may have fertility troubles. Prof Au talked me through my results and educated me on AMH as a poor predictor for menopause. He advised me that I would need further bloods to fully assess my fertility and I was able to request them from my GP. Following this he reviewed my bloods with me again, without charge, and advised me that everything was normal and I did not need to be seen at TCM. I am very grateful for all the help, support and education. Thank you!

Mr Richard Barksfield

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I almost don’t know where to start. From my first meeting, I was filled with confidence, and felt at ease. This was my second total knee replacement, the first one (with a different consultant) had been quite difficult due to no one’s fault. My second knee with Mr Barksfield could not have been mare different. I am now 8 weeks post op and have virtually no pain, can walk normally and feel like I did 6-8 years ago. Stairs are a breeze, I can walk normally up and down slopes and intend to play golf this weekend. I could not be more delighted with the outcome. A massive thank you to Mr Barksfield and his team.

Dr Hemant Sharma

Gastroenterologist

Myself and my husband were very impressed with Benenden - from the cleanliness and facilities at the hospital to the staff who from the get go were incredibly helpful and welcoming. Special mention of Dr Hemant Sharma and nurse Claire who took my blood sample. Dr Hemant Sharma was incredibly helpful and explained everything in clear detail for me and Claire put me at ease from the minute I walked into the room, I really felt looked after and left feeling confident in what next steps are to address my concerns/symptoms. Would absolutely recommend Benenden to family and friends.

HCA Healthcare UK London Bridge Hospital

Diagnostics & Testing, Haematology, + 11 more

Dr. Siddika is very professional, friendly, kind. Throughout the process from initial consultation to operational procedure, she is extremely caring. I was very concern at the beginning as I have had quite bad experience in the past. Her patient explanation and kindness already made me felt half relieved during the consultation. She is also very skilled and I hardly felt the pain just one week after the operation, which is really amazing. I highly recommend her and really appreciate her caring, kindness and professionalism.

Miss Sascha Dua

General Surgeon

My surgeon is clearly invested in her patients and took the time to really listen to what I wanted. She fully supported my decision to have a mastectomy rather than a lumpectomy and was equally supportive in agreeing to further surgery to achieve symmetry. Her approach is both professional and reassuring, and she has a wonderfully warm, down-to-earth personality that immediately puts you at ease. I felt listened to, respected, and very well cared for throughout my treatment.

Mr Pranab Sinha

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sinha gave me the confidence to have my knee replacement sooner rather than later. There was no option and physio was no longer helping. He explained that my recovery would be quicker as I was younger and in good health and would get more use out of it. It would give me a good quality of life and I would be able to keep up with my grandchildren ! He was right ! 4 weeks post op and I am walking without my crutches. He is a lovely caring person and an excellent surgeon.

Knightsbridge Doctors

General Practice (GP), Imaging (Scans), + 5 more

It was average. £380 for a 30 min appointment in a Knightsbridge mansion... Disappointing not to be offered any water or tea/coffee whilst waiting and being told to arrive 30 minutes before. Was expecting a high-end service. Felt very basic and outdated, but I cannot fault the clinical service and everyone was friendly. Just feels like a complete rip-off and completely out of proportion cost.

Mr Alexander Leggate

Neurosurgeon

Back surgery. Walked in with extreme pain. Back operation and walked out without any pain or discomfort Mr Leggate was fantastic in pre operation care and explanation. On the day of the operation he was very reassuring. Post operation visited me twice in twelve hours. Extremely professional, friendly and reassuring. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Colin Weir

General Surgeon

I attended the Hillsborough Private Clinic for investigation and treatment of Varicose veins in my left leg that was giving me concern and from the initial consultation with Mr Weir to undergoing Endothermal Ablation a few weeks later and now the follow up I could not be happier with every aspect of my treatment which has been a complete success.

Dr Vassiliki Bravis

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr. Vassiliki Bravis is truly outstanding. She listened carefully, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. Her professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail really stand out. I’m very grateful for her expertise and kindness. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy doctor!
