My consultant Hugh O’Kane was so lovely excellent communication skills empathy and he listened to me , which some consultants would need to have a refresher course on dealing with patients. The anaesthetist ( sorry i can’t remember his name an Indian gentleman again so lovely) and the nurses in theatre were all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the sedation was not great effect but got through. Recovery nurse Alex’s was very attentive & had a very caring way . Transferred to ward 3 Bernadette the nurse and Sinead & Sarah ( hopefully I have the correct names) all excellent A really lovely friendly member of the catering team Gillian came to see if I would like something to eat at that time I did not , but she Came k later to check & made the most delicious toasted sandwich. I had buzzed for the nurse as I was in a lot of pain behind my left knee she gave me liquid paracetamol, the pain got worse i asked for the compression stocking to be removed, the problem was that the stocking had not been pulled up straight and therefore it had “ marked my ankle very deeply “ with the result that the circulation would have been effected. My leg felt “Dead or asleep “ I felt afraid but the staff where lovely, Hugh came to see me around 8.30 pm had a conversation with my son in England and the plan was to stay (but before this they where happy to let me go home Kelly the manager came to speak to me as this was no fault of mine they I asked “in a scenario such as mine was there not a plan B in place “ to which she responded “0 yes and a plan b c & d “ ) So thankfully the outcome was resolved, I was to stay Hugh would see me in the morning. The night staff Keira & a girl called you I’m think the other health care assistant was Sharon hopefully this is correct but all excellent care. Hugh came in to see me just after 7am very attentive,examined my leg, I said that the pain was not as severe as the night before & I was happy to go home, “to which he replied if your happy so am I “ ( if only more consultants had his way ) he said I was not to worry re the financial situation re the over night stay Over all I am glad that we resolved the situation.

had a right knee replacement with Mr. Sam Rajaratnam just over two weeks ago on 3rd November 2025, and what I had feared would be a difficult and painful operation turned out to be completely painless. Sam is extremely kind, patient and reassuring — perfect for someone as nervous as I was. I had delayed doing this surgery for a year and a half and even cancelled the operation twice before finally going through with it! Mr. Rajaratnam has built an outstanding team, including an exceptionally experienced anaesthetist, Dr. Barry Philips; a kind and highly competent nurse consultant, Ms. Christine Howis; and an excellent senior physiotherapist, Felicitas Gatti, who visits me at home to guide my post-operative exercises. I was also extremely impressed by all the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic hospital, who provided exceptional care throughout my stay. Whilst at the Cleveland, Sam visited me daily, and even came in today after my staples were removed to check on my progress. Mr. Rajaratnam’s expertise is evident—he has performed over 7,000 knee replacements—and the level of care and support I received was extraordinary. I was expecting a significant increase in pain once the stronger medication stopped a week after surgery, but to my surprise, I remained completely pain-free. I am extremely grateful to Sam and his wonderful team. I’ll be back for my other knee as soon as I’m up and running again!

Dr Sharmishtha Sarkar

Paediatrician

Both my children were under the care of Dr Sarkar for the last few years and I cannot fault the service. Dr Sarkar was always professional, thorough and kind. She diagnosed my daughters privately as we couldn't wait any longer for an NHS diagnosis due to key stages in the girls' lives. it was the best decision made and best money ever spent. Thanks to the detailed reports we managed to get the girls the help and support they needed and we were also able to understand their differences more as parents. The multidisciplinary team is amazing, one of the most helpful things was the cognitive assessment by Dr Edwards, which described in detail what my daughter struggled with and which were her strongest points. Overall we are really happy with the service and we are forever grateful for all the support, advice and help.

Mr Oisin Keenan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having had 2 knees replaced this year by Mr Keenan, I have nothing but praise & sincere thanks for his professionalism, kindness & expertise. From our first meeting to operation days & post op appointments he has been clear in what to expect regarding op, how things went after & how progress is going. He has quite literally changed my life as I am now able to walk without pain & the “waddle”. Also my husband’s life too as we can get back to doing things we enjoy & he doesn’t see me in pain anymore. I’m not going to lie, it is painful for the first 2-3 weeks but if you trust the process & do what your surgeon & physio tells you to & put in the work, then you will have the best outcome. It was a pleasure to have Mr Keenan as my surgeon & I would not hesitate in recommending him to others.

Edinburgh GP

We took our 9 year old son to see Dr Narayanan. He has been experiencing symptoms of anxiety and potentially depression which were manifesting themselves as physical symptoms often. We wanted to rule out any physical ailment, however Dr Narayanan went considerably beyond our expectations and was able to help us consider options for our son’s current ADHD medication and other treatment and management options. He’s very quiet and lacks confidence and Dr Narayanan amazed me with her ability to bring him out of his shell and speak to him in a way which helped him to open up. Together with her, we now feel that we now have an expert who is owning our son’s treatment and care and supporting us where we need support. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Ms Laura Ismail

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Ms. Laura Ismail. She is by far the most exceptional gynaecologist I have ever met. From the moment I walked into her clinic, she made me feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. She listens with such patience, explains everything clearly, and treats you with a level of compassion that is rare to find. Her expertise is undeniable, but what makes her truly special is her kindness and the way she makes you feel completely at ease. I left my appointment feeling reassured, supported, and deeply thankful. Ms. Laura is a genuinely outstanding doctor, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Would not hesitate to recommend, in fact many of our friends and family now use the practice and all speak so highly of every doctor. Thank you Essex Private GP for everything.

My first appointment was cancelled by the clinic this was after telling me to pay the fee upfront and re booked two weeks later. I arrived on time for my appointment and was told there would be a delay again. After waiting for sometime I asked the staff to find out what the delay was I was then seen by the clinician half an hour later. My experience with the clinician I felt was not worth the fee. I was not examined correctly I was not given any advice as to how to deal with the issue and the letter I received afterwards was not very accurate or informative. So I would not go back again or recommend.

Mr Paul Kirkland

ENT Surgeon

Reception had the wrong information for my appointment, not clear why as they had it all to hand as I had provided it and they found it when I asked. A loud alarm went off in Reception and they were very slow to try and fix it, in fact it had come from the bathroom and no-one seemed to know this which they should surely be aware of. Luckily it was in error - but what if someone had needed help? Quite surprising behaviour, not a great impression of Reception, it took others from other rooms to come out to look into it, the two ladies on Reception did not try to resolve it.

Dr Debashish Das

Cardiologist

I’ve recently been under the care of Dr Das and his wonderful secretary Neeru, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Dr Das combines clinical expertise with a calm, reassuring manner that immediately puts you at ease. He is decisive, reassuring and on your side to get you what you need promptly. Neeru is simply exceptional—efficient, kind, and always responsive, she makes the whole process feel seamless. Together, they provide a level of care and professionalism that’s truly rare. I’m deeply grateful and fortunate I was referred to Dr Das.

Dr Sala Abdalla

General Surgeon

“I am truly grateful to the doctor I saw yesterday. From the very first moment, she greeted me with a warm smile and treated me with respect. She was kind throughout the entire examination, paid close attention to my condition, and explained everything to me in detail, even showing me images to help me understand. She listened to all my questions and concerns, and answered each one clearly and kindly. I feel very lucky to have met such a wonderful doctor. I wish all doctors were like her. Thank you so much.”

The National Heart Clinic

Outstanding consultation with Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco. He was incredibly kind, professional, and took a truly holistic approach to the presented situation. The appointment was arranged very quickly, and the entire process through telemedicine was smooth, efficient, and convenient. His explanations were clear, thoughtful, and genuinely reassuring. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-level cardiologist who combines expertise with genuine care!

Katherine is wonderful. She creates a safe space for you to express yourself however you are feeling that day. There is no set agenda or timeframe, giving you the space you need to work on whatever needs arise. She is entirely invested and engaged with you. Not once have I doubted that I have 100% of her attention and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a therapist who not only listens, but is completely invested in your healing journey.

Mr Sivaraman Subramanian

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Subramanian is an amazing surgeon. I am 4 weeks post surgery and throughout my time with him he has been very thorough in terms of ensuring that I understand the procedure being undertaken, what was done in surgery, how they can fix it and what expectations I should have as a brief timeline going forward. He is extremely friendly and makes you feel very comfortable. I am grateful to have been a patient that was put into his care.

Jo’s ability to guide him toward recognising his strengths has led to powerful moments of realisation and practical strategies that he feels ownership over. We’ve seen meaningful and lasting improvements in his wellbeing and independence as a result
