This was a positive experience. Srijune was so very kind and helpful in my pre- treatment discussion, administration of anti biotic medication and questionnaire. She offered to hold my hand during the injection, made sure I was okay, ensured I had some tea and biscuits whilst waiting before I could leave and came to let me know that it was safe for me to leave. She also answered my call when I got home as I’d felt a cramp-like pain in my calf . Thanks Srijano Mr Jones was kind, genial, professional and as gentle as he could be with the procedure. He chatted to me during the procedure , telling me about the scan that was showing the fluid on/ around my knee and was happy to answer my question about what the fluid was that he was removing etc. He told me that I’d get a call from him in a few months time to check how I’m getting on rather than a face to face follow up. I was given assorted leaflets with exercises, ICRS registry , free online rehab programme and physiotherapists Charlie and Nick at the Better team . I was thrilled when I went to walk out of the hospital, to find that I was able to walk normally without any limping. Yes the anaesthetic was probably helping but it made me feel positive about the treatment . I expect it’ll be a little tender once that has worn off but fingers crossed all will be well .

Mr Jason Webb

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr.Webb operated on my left hip in 2018 which was very successful so when I knew that my right hip was troubling me I made an appointment to see him in October 2024 because I valued his expertise & wanted him to perform the operation. As soon as I arrived Mr.Webb referred to my notes & had checked my physio's report & between us we decided that surgery was necessary which was planned for early 2025. Mr.Webb in my opinion is an outstanding consultant. He is clear & concise in what he plans to do. He listens to any concerns & involves me in any decision making. He is personable & friendly with an appropriate touch of humour which certainly helped me overcome many of my fears. Post op he visited me every day & reassured me that all was well & sent post op notes to my physio advising her on the appropriate level of exercise which has resulted in my full recovery for which I am very grateful. One year on I feel I am now living a full life due to his excellent surgery & the ability to do different kinds of exercise which helps psychologically & in all sorts of other ways. For anyone contemplating hip surgery I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Webb.

Attended for a blood test. I’ve had multiple bad experiences with blood tests over the years. This is primarily because I have very small and narrow veins which disappear with the touch of a needle..☹️ I find the whole experience extremely painful and distressing … I explained all of this to Debbie, the wonderful and kind nurse who attended me. She was brilliant! Totally put me at ease and was incredibly supportive and gentle. I was definitely a challenge for her as my veins were completely uncooperative per usual. But she took her time and used the smallest needle possible to minimise any discomfort. She succeeded in the end and managed to get enough blood for a full blood count!! Miraculous! I am so very grateful to Debbie for turning a potentially very upsetting and negative experience into a positive outcome. She has helped me to regain a little more confidence in having my blood taken again. Thank you Debbie! 😊

Mr Thomas Finnigan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Finnigan was very gently spoken, and he helped me feel calm and safe. He sppke about what would happen in my operation and spoke me through it all. At all times he asked if I had any questions, and I felt happy and comfortable to ask whatever I needed. Or asked for more information also. He was very kind and answered everything so I could understand. I felt very safe to have Mr Finnigan as my consultant, and I am extremely happy with my surgery which went very well. In my appointment following my operation, i was happy to show him I had full movement of my knee joint and it was repairing well. I would definitely tell any of my family of friends to use Mr Finnigan, and the Spire Manchester Hospital. I also would like to shout out and thank every member of staff, from the porters to administrators, to nurses and all the way up to the Consultants, for the way they looked after me. So “THANK YOU!” 😄👍

Mr James Singleton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After trying unsuccessfully to ignore my nagging knee pain I. Was getting out of the chair when it clicked and remained very painful thereafter. I decided to get a professional opinion and selected Mr James Singleton (James) as he specialised in knees and had extensive experience. Following a scan the issue and damage was clearly explained to me and options offered which James told me to take time to think about. I opted for a relatively new treatment called Arthrosamid which involved a painless injection under a local anaesthetic into the knee and 3 months later have gone from not being able to walk very far to 10,000 steps a day and am looking forward to further improvement in the coming months. I would highly recommend James and if I need the other knee done will certainly be contacting him. Thank you.

Schoen Clinic Chelsea

Coaching, Holistic Therapy, + 7 more

My care at this clinic has been outstanding and I would recommend it to anyone needing expert psychiatric support for complex trauma. The service is psychiatry-led, with the consultant coordinating treatment plans and supervising input from psychology, occupational therapy, group therapy and trauma modalities including EMDR, DBT, CBT and embodied psychotherapy. This ensured that care was coherent rather than fragmented. I initially attended four in-person sessions per week and have now safely transitioned to monthly. The team have specialist expertise in workplace bullying, institutional power dynamics and identity-related trauma, which is unusual to find. The level of understanding and clinical leadership has made a meaningful difference to my recovery, and I could not recommend the service more highly.

Clarity - Coventry

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

After the first right eye cataract removal Mazen Tahhan gave me his telephone number and said to call him if I had a problem. I am a very keen insect photographer and found with the distance lens I could not see the camera screen clearly. I became worried about the impact on my ability to focus close up on insects. About 8 p.m. I sent him a text briefly outlining my concerns . He called me back immediately and listened carefully. I was even considering other options than the NHS lens and he kindly sent details of these. However he advised me to I stay with a close-up NHS lens to get as much light into the eye as possible. I followed his advice and am very pleased and very satisfied with the result. Sabina George

I was treated extremely kindly and it made such a difference. Everyone who works there deserves a massive thank you. I didn’t feel judged, not once. Respectful, polite and friendly and very, very prepared. I felt that I was in safe hands and I really appreciated all the security protocols. My only suggestion to make things even better, would be to have an indoor waiting area available for clients who are asked to arrive at 7am. It was not much fun waiting in the dark, in the rain, in the cold to be let in for 20 odd minutes. But as soon as that hurdle was overcome, everything went so well and a lot of that was because of the efforts of the team. They’re great. I really loved my sandwich too!

Matrix Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology

The treatment I received at the Matrix Eye Clinic was excellent from both Mr Guy Smith and his first class team. The results from the cataract operation in both eyes is sensational. My eyesight is significantly improved, the length, the accuracy and the intensity of the colour are all enhanced. I am absolutely delighted. Before I had the operation I was considering exchanging our television for a new model because I was having difficulty in reading small print and the scene was blurred. Now I can enjoy watching. Amazing! I have no hesitation in recommending Matrix Eye Clinic.

Mr Sanjaya Kalkur

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have consulted with Mr Kalkur at Spire Wellesley private hospital in Southend and have had treatment (minor op) from him at Springfield private hospital in Chelmsford. I would highly recommend Mr Kalkur as someone who understands all issues relating to perimenopause and menopause. He listens, he asks relevant questions, he is patient and kind. He has empathy and a clear passion for helping women achieve better health. He liaises with your NHS surgery and your health insurer for a smooth overall service. Now that I have found him, I won't be using anyone else! Thank you Mr Kalkur!

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

My son had a surgical extraction and the procedure was very calm and relaxed for him. I was able to be there too, so I watched the whole procedure and was very impressed at how clean the procedure was, resulting in a positive experience and successful extraction, ahead of upcoming orthodontic work. Waiting times weren't too long, although for private treatment we had hoped to be seen a little sooner than we were. The practice staff were friendly and very welcoming and high standards were evident throughout, in terms of hygiene and care. My son has no pain and is recovering well.

Check4Cancer

Oncology, Diagnostics & Testing

I didnt visit a practice, this was a blood test that was sent by post to me with an at home kit. So my rating is based on the blood test. I will visit a practice in early February to do a skin check. But everything was packed securely and sent quickly, and you appear to have received it very quickly and given me a result within a day of receiveing my blood, which I fully appreciate. The only thing I would mention about the process was the amount of blood I could get out of three fingers was less than what you asked for. Luckily it was enough for you to do the test.

Mr Rahul Lunawat

Urologist

I paid privately to have kidney stones removed because of long delays on the NHS. Mr Lunawat was well prepared in the initial consultation to quickly and efficiently take the steps needed to ensure the appointments and procedures went smoothly. He answered my many questions with a very caring and reassuring attitude both before and after the operation. He also arranged a program of aftercare. So on the whole l was very pleased with his professionalism and beside manner.

Professor Paul Chatrath

ENT Surgeon

I have been under the care of Professor Chatrath for just over a year and have recently been discharged from his care. At all times I have felt listened to and he has a thoughtful and methodical approach to treatment. He explained every step in my treatment and the reasons and was thorough in his assessment. I felt very comfortable in his care and confident in his competence and have had a good outcome. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Dr Dominic Paviour

Neurologist

Dr Paviour was most kind, attentive, and listened to what I had to say. He seemed to be able to get to the heart of my problems (I have Essential Tremor & wanted to "rule out" Parkinson's as best as one could) quickly and I would thoroughly recommend him to others. I self funded my visit, and can not recommend him highly enough.

Mr Hisham Shalaby

Orthopaedic Surgeon
