Dr. James Noake is not only a phenomenal doctor but also a truly exceptional person. His clinical expertise, commitment, and compassion enabled me to achieve something that had once felt impossible, and I will be forever grateful for his care. I had been training for seven months to take on a double marathon in memory of my brother, who tragically took his own life just over a year ago. The run meant everything to me — not just as a personal challenge, but as a way to honour him and raise money for The Hunchman Trust, a charity that supports young people navigating grief, especially after suicide. By the time race day was in sight, I had already raised £28,000, and the weight of expectation — from myself and from those supporting me — felt enormous. Seventeen days before the event, disaster struck. I was injured, and despite visits to a physio, I was in terrible shape. With less than two weeks to go, I was convinced my dream was over. It was then that my physio referred me to Dr. James Noake, who, upon hearing my story, went to great lengths to fit me into his schedule. My case was complicated. I had an inflamed Kager’s fat pad and a trapped sural nerve, problems made even harder to diagnose because of a previous ankle reconstruction back in 2019. Where others had struggled, Dr. Noake immediately identified the issue. The very next morning, he came in early to give me the treatment and injections I desperately needed. What happened next felt nothing short of remarkable. Days earlier I had been ready to give up, certain I’d have to withdraw from the race. Instead, with Dr. Noake’s expertise and guidance, I was not only able to start but to finish the double marathon. Throughout the event, he made himself available, checking in, offering advice, and guiding me on what I could and couldn’t do to protect myself. Thanks to him, I was able to cross that finish line and, more importantly, honour my brother’s memory in the way I had hoped.

Albion Dental : Brighton

Dentistry

My experience with Albion Dental has been brilliant from start to finish of my treatment. My dentist Dr Ghadimi is very kind, and is very skilled with the procedures he can perform. I have severe hypodontia and even after extensive work throughout my life I was not quite confident with my teeth, so after some discussion and planning, I decided to pursue new crowns for my top 4 teeth; a big decision for me but it has been well worth it and I have no regrets. The treatment was explained well, and my questions were answered fully and meticulously. The nature of the treatment was more cosmetic compared to previous work I've had done, and a big financial endeavour for me, but there are payment plans available to make it more affordable and accessible. The dental assistants are really lovely and look after you well, and the receptionists are always a ray of sunshine when entering the building; their client care skills are exemplary. Some advice for if you have a complex condition and have had a lot of dental work done before coming to the practice like myself, would be to make sure to let the clinic know as much information as possible, as there was some communication that needed to be had to get on level ground with the team. But this was to be expected for me with my long medical history and the clinic was very open and receptive to my concerns about my teeth, and devised a plan sensitively and effectively to help me feel more confident with my smile, something I've felt self-conscious about since I was little! So I would recommend this clinic to anyone for routine, or more involved treatment, and am grateful for everything they've done for me!

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

Cataract op. performed by Mr Ting and team On arrival nurses prepared me by 3/4 doses of eye drops over 30 minutes with pleasant reassuring chat. When taken in for the op Mr Ting and staff were very calm and chatted to me asking questions , checking and rechecking which eye was to be done. On the table I was given instructions to open my eye and stare at a very bright light which after a minute or two I could do. Op proceeded painlessly with assuring commentary from Mr Ting as to progress. 15-20 minutes later it was all done. Being a bit rickety (at 81 yrs young) staff helped me to sit up , get my bearings and assist me to the Post Op lady to be briefed on my next 4 weeks of care which I dutifully followed. For anyone due for a cataract op NHS at Midland Eye should be their first choice. Many thanks for Mr Ting and his very professional excellent team

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I went to my consultation with some trepedation as I didnt know what to expect but I was quickly put at ease once the consultation began. I was impressed with the detailed checks and scans that were carried out and everything was clearly explained at each stage. I was quiete surprised to be told that I wasnt ready for treatment at this stage and that any improvement that they could make for my reading vision, could potentially, make my distance vision slighly worse than it is at the moment. i was really impressed at the honestly and professionalism of the Consultant who gave me his honest opinion and did not try and sell me a procedure that I didnt need. For me this is very comendable in this day and age, Perhaps in a number of years time my situation will have changed and I will not hesitate to return to Cathedral for further advive/ analysys.

Very professional friendly and explained everything. Was not a 5 min extraction as he had to cut out my deep roots and my rear root was holding on. Afterwards he was scraping cleaning bone cavitations for a long time before cleaning and using ozone to sterilise the debrided socket. Applying PRF, membrane and bone graft was quick. Unfortunately I'm not sure it has got all the infection though as today Saturday it's been getting worse and I smell the fecal smell from gum.. I will be calling 111 to ask for dental antibiotics if it gets worse. Dr Pitamber and his team were great, but I fear my failed root canal has festered undiscovered far too long. Root canals are not a good idea. My root cracked and festered for years making me ill. At least I'm feeling better energy wise, if still in pain. Hopefully my body will overcome the residual infection.

Car parking can be a problem. There are some local side streets with the odd space or Sainsbury is about a 20 minute walk, think you get about 3 hours. I had my operation on a Saturday and the place seemed very quiet and peaceful, one member of staff said it's more chaotic in the week. Parking was easy at 7.30am on Saturday but I had been dropped off anyway. There are buses that stop nearby from Macclesfield bus station but I haven't tried them. It's lovely to have your own room, particularly if you're a very sensitive person. The staff on the whole treat you with respect.

Mr Reza Nassab

Plastic Surgeon

Absolutely amazing experience would throughly recommend the motiva preserve to anybody. Mr Nassab is fantastic and knowledgeable and made my experience perfect. Along with Mr Nassab, Helena has been absolutely amazing with plenty of communication from the consultation right through to the post op. In, addition all the staff from the nurses at deansgate hospital to the reception staff I cannot praise them enough. Everybody who is part of the team is friendly, knowledgable and the whole package is fantastic. Thank you to everyone.

Non clinical but important. Waiting between appointments I ordered a coffee from the shop at 4.50 pm and asked for a proper cup. Because they cleaning closing down I was told I had to have a takeaway cup as people don’t always bring the proper cups back. I suggest either be honest and just say you want to get off home or trust people to leave a proper cup on a table for collection in the morning. Too difficult or am I being a bit too picky as the rest of the Ashford one appears customer focused?

Mrs Nadia Hikary-Bhal

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

This was not the first time that I have had a cosultation with Mrs. Hikary-Bahl. Every time has been excellent in every way. She quickly sees those issues which are of concern to me and her explanations are clear and easy to understand. She makes options clear and her written notes which I receive by e-mail give a thorough summary of our consultation and the issues raised and decisions made. I can find no critiscism to make of the excellent care which I have received from her.
