Dr Maria Kalkani

Dentist

I cannot thank Dr. Maria Kalkani, and her entire team enough for the extraordinary care they gave our child during what was one of the most stressful days we’ve had as parents. After our son suffered a fall and traumatically lost his front tooth, my husband and I were overwhelmed with worry. We weren’t just concerned about the immediate injury, but about the possible long-term effects on his adult teeth, his smile, and even his confidence and mental wellbeing. Seeing your child hurt and frightened is heartbreaking, and we walked into the clinic feeling anxious and unsure of what the future might look like. From the moment we arrived, everything changed. Dr. Kalkani’s professionalism, calm expertise, and genuine compassion were immediately reassuring. She took the time to explain every step clearly, answered our many (many!) questions with patience, and never once made us feel rushed or silly for asking. Her knowledge and confidence gave us complete trust that our child was in the very best hands. Her treatment coordinator, Jasmine, was equally incredible organized, kind, and so thoughtful in helping us navigate appointments and options during an emotional time. And Sydney, her nurse, was simply wonderful with our son —gentle, warm, and so reassuring. She treated him like he was family, which meant more to us than we can say. What stood out most was the level of care and humanity. They stayed late to make sure he was fully seen and that we understood every option available. No one hurried us out the door. Instead, they focused entirely on what was best for our child. They kept both my husband and me calm, grounded, and hopeful when we really needed it. The whole team showed such patience, kindness, and compassion not just clinical excellence, but true heart. It felt as though they cared for our son as if he were their own. We left feeling relieved, supported, and incredibly grateful. If you are looking for pediatric dental care where skill meets genuine love and dedication, I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Kalkani and her team more highly. The care they provide is immense and truly unmatched. Thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it.

I booked and paid for a private online consultation with Dr Vinesan Naidoo regarding persistent hyperprolactinaemia confirmed on blood tests (monomeric prolactin approx. 590 mIU/L; total prolactin approx. 704 mIU/L) with ongoing symptoms including low libido, low energy, anxiety, poor sleep and mood issues. This appointment was extremely disappointing. From the start, I was interrupted repeatedly and not allowed to explain my symptoms properly. The doctor quickly dismissed the issue as “physiological” and “not a medical concern” despite clearly abnormal blood results and clear symptoms affecting my quality of life. What I found most frustrating is that he seemed to assume he knew better than I do about what I’m experiencing, essentially implying that raised prolactin at these levels cannot cause symptoms — even though it is well known that prolactin elevation can affect libido, mood, energy and sexual function in men. There was no structured assessment and no clear plan. The consultation did not cover: possible causes of raised prolactin repeat testing plan (fasting, stress-controlled, early morning) medication/supplement review endocrine referral pathway whether pituitary imaging should be considered if prolactin remains elevated As a patient paying privately, I expected a professional, thorough medical discussion. Instead, I felt dismissed and rushed, and left with no help, no reassurance, and no next steps. I cannot recommend this doctor based on my experience. I paid for a medical consultation, but what I received was an opinion with no investigation, no plan and no clinical value.

The physiotherapist seemed unconcerned by the pain I have been experiencing for nearly a year. He mentioned that I had full movement and so he was not concerned. He kept saying that he would not give me another steroid injection without acknowledging that I didn’t want one. He told me to do some exercises which he showed me how to do once and gave me no paperwork or YouTube link that might assist when I got home. I tried to ask how long I should wait before I made any further action and he said there is no more treatment. I felt like an inconvenience and wish I had gone somewhere else. I would never recommend anyone to see him again. He really made me feel small and insignificant.

Reception staff were very helpful both on arrival and when leaving the centre. The medical staff were very knowledgeable & took time to explain everything that would be part of the procedures. The doctor and his team of nurses worked very well together, a well run team. I liked the idea that a nurse remained beside me throughout all the procedures, explaining things as they happened. The recovery room nurse was very attentive and very helpful in her explanation of the printouts following the procedures. The discharge staff in the discharge waiting room provided a very welcome cup of tea and a slice of toast. I had been fasting for over 24 hours by that stage.

Infiniti Healthcare

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

The arrangements for my appointment were clear and I was able to park easily. The waiting area was clean and comfortable and staff at every level were kind, helpful and polite. Mr. Bahl has helped me so much to overcome a problem which was severely impacting upon my life and reducing my confidence for social contact. He has been very clear about all issues and risks so that, when I underwent surgery, I was clear about what outcome I might experience. The plan for going forward is clear and, at every turn, I have received information which has helped me to feel a full participant in my treatment plan. Words cannot express my gratitude for the outcome.

Mr Ahmed Hamouda

General Surgeon

My experience whilst in the care of Mr. Hamouda has been outstanding. He is a positive, confident and experienced surgeon / consultant who put me at ease, listened to my understandable concerns and immediately took decisive steps to meet my needs. The whole process, from initial contact on the phone to discharge from the ward took approximately 8 weeks - superb! I have been given guidance and advice at every step; clear outlining of the diagnosis, the proposed procedure and the post surgery support available. All the staff I have met, whatever their role, have been encouraging, pleasant and professional.

Basuto Medical Centre

Dermatology, General Practice (GP), + 1 more

Since I joined in 2000, I have been elightened and guided every step of the journey I needed to make for and with the maintenance and improvement of my health. Dr McMichen has at all times made clear connections between any of symptoms I described and the possible pathology behind them. In addition I have always had the most considered responses to any alternatives there might have been. My experience over 26 years has left me aware of the considerable knowledge and professionalism which I have been offered on each and every visit.

Dr Antonis Pavlidis

Cardiologist

Dr Pavlidis saw me as I am in my late 50's and have high cholesterol levels and have done for many years, although my diet is good and I exercise regularly. He recommended that I started taking statins. I was sceptical of this at first, however, Dr Pavlidis made a logical and compelling case for doing so, which made absolute common sense. I have been on statins now for around 4 months, have had no adverse side effects, and my cholesterol levels have reduced significantly. It's one tiny pill a day but it could extend my life.

Thyroid blood test. Never been before. Autistic so some challeges : a sign on door to push would have helped, it was intimidating, couldn’t get in straight away. An area with reduced lighting to wait would have reduced my overwhelm, was very close to waiting outside. Became very overwhelmed trying to explain which test I had booked, knew there was a fault on the website. Although the situation was rectified satisfactorily, it was still an overwhelming, triggering experience.

Mr Andrew Shepherd

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a full knee replacement and was absolutely delighted with the outcome. As expected, the first two weeks were sore with limited movement, but from there on the progress was fantastic. I increased the level of exercise and was so pleased with the range of movement and knee bend I was able to achieve. Strength increased and by twelve weeks post op, I was back playing club tennis. I really can’t say enough re Andrew’s professionalism and competence. A complete success.

Sapphire Eye Care

Ophthalmology

Every stage of my procedure for my cataract operations (both eyes a week apart) went like 'a dream' from the excellent initial Consultation with Professor Luff, to the 2 excellently/professionally executed outpatient operations he and his excellent team carried out, to the excellent aftercare and not to mention the miraculous results!. If anyone (like me!) is petrified of such procedures I would highly recommend Professor Luff and his Sapphire Team.

Mr Haresh Devalia

Breast Surgeon, General Surgeon

I visited Fordcombe hospital today to see Mr Devalia, after being referred following a recent medical. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming, the process was seamless and scans were very thorough. I was anxious about the visit but Mr Devalia was very warm, professional and reassuring and explained the whole process in detail and put my mind at rest. I would strongly recommend both the hospital and staff and strongly recommend Mr Devalia.

Dr. Rishi Dhand

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I met Rishi as I had a frozen shoulder from a previous dislocation. He was totally professional and explained about the cause and possible treatments. He booked my procedure within the week, completed it without any pain or discomfort and referred me for Physiotherapy. The hydrodistention was a complete success and instantly fixed my shoulder. I am now recovering and sleeping properly again. I can not thank him or recommend him enough!

Dr Ken Darzy

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr Darzy listened to my symptoms in a way that no other doctor has done bedore, and with his knowledge and testing I was finally able to get diagnosed and prescribed the correct treatment for an issue I’ve been suffering with for many many years - where many other doctors have been unable to help. The treatment for me has been life changing, and I am forever grateful to Dr Darzy - thank you!

Dr Diab Haddad

Paediatrician

We took our 15-month-old son to Dr. Haddad after weeks of persistent coughing and nightly fevers. He was thorough, attentive, and quickly identified the issue. The treatment he prescribed cleared all symptoms within five. We’re truly grateful for his accurate diagnosis and professional care. Highly recommend Dr. Haddad for anyone seeking effective and compassionate paediatric support.
