Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

Mr Andrew Evans

General Surgeon

First Class service from Mr Evans ; gave great feeling of confidence and thoroughness. Sadly on my informing Mr Evans of bi-ventricular pacemaker ;? Brought everything to a close; as the hospital will not now countenance surgery when pacemaker installed:- Greatly saddened by this - as not only will be a different surgeon; but great inconvenience as will Now have to travel over 60 miles to southern Manchester. Although once informed of medical reason; due to bi-ventricular pacemaker and such capability if some difficulty occurred - much greater requirement for increased equipment to monitor pacemaker and in the unlikely event of any difficulty ; far far higher capability of medical Intervention. Sadly now to go to Alexandra hospital at Cheadle.,and of course a different surgeon; sadly. david t ;

Cleveland Clinic London

Vascular Surgery, Gastroenterology, + 10 more

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

The Agora Clinic

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 1 more

My partner and I came to the Agora for a fertility assessment as we've been trying to conceive for a couple of years. The doctor was kind in explaining our results and gave a clear plan of what they recommend moving forwards. I chose the clinic based on the good reviews and we are so happy that we did. All the staff we have come across have been very nice and answered any questions that we had. We feel comfortable choosing the Agora for IVF even though this is an unknown road ahead, i feel supported.

Mr Sam Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The care that I have received from Mr Singh and his team has been outstanding from start to finish. The surgery went extremely well and I am very pleased with the results. The level of care that I received throughout - from my first consultation to post op was really well managed and done so with a friendly smile. Everything was explained to me clearly and I felt listened to so I knew I was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Dr Singh to anyone considering surgery.

GenesisCare Surrey

Oncology

All the staff at GenesisCare Guildford could not have made me feel more welcome and at ease with the treatment I was due to receive. Each staff member is professional and ensured I was fully comfortable with what was about to start. I would highly recommend GenesisCare Guildford as they have exceeded all expectations of what I thought was going to be very traumatic and upsetting experience. I can’t thank them enough and will be forever grateful for all they have done

HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

All the staff I came into contact with today were very kind. At each stage I had an explanation of what would happen next, and they checked in I was ok. Every colleague that spoke to me asked if I had any questions. There was only a few minutes between each stage and the clinic is really comfortable and clean. Everyone was friendly and professional and I had complete confidence at every stage that I would get accurate results. A big thank you to everyone today.

Dr. Rossella Barbagallo

Cardiologist

Dr Barbagallo was kind and very welcoming. She listened to each of my concerns carefully and addressed them one by one. She took her time to explain things in a straightforward way so that I could understand, ruling out certain issues and also outlining potential concerns . Though I am worried about my health, I felt much more at ease in the care of Dr Barbagallo as she was focused on finding answers to explain my symptoms. Thank you Dr Barbagallo

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

From our initial consultation to post delivery Dr Bhati has been kind, informative and caring. As someone who suffers from major health anxiety, I had my share of fears surrounding birth. Dr Bhati’s knowledge and confidence puts you at ease. Even though there’s been a last minute need for a c section, it was handled quickly and calmly and we welcomed our baby girl safely. Very greatful for the care we received.

Cooden Medical Group

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology, + 4 more

I had vein ablation today under Mr Mohamed Elawal - having had this prior at Uckfield Hospital, what a difference attending Cooden Medical Group was! From start to finish the whole team we're so lovely and professional! The Administration team, the Nurses and all the Consultants are so knowledgeable and really make you feel at ease. Would highly recommend this establishment for any procedures they offer!

Professor Riyaz Patel

Cardiologist

Professor Patel was thorough, charming, and wanted to understand how I felt about my medical condition. He offered a full explanation which we discussed, options for the future, and settled on a course of action designed to make us both comfortable. He spent the time required - rather than a clock-watching doctor - to get to know me as a patient and understand the problem. A great doctor and communicator.

Mr Amgad Nakhla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

It was very easy to arrange an appointment with Mr Nakhla, to obtain an MRI scan and treatment all within a few weeks. I had a tear in my shoulder's rotator cuff that prevented me lifting up my arm. Mr Nakhla walked me through the MRI diagnosis and explained the treatment. A steroid injection remedied the shoulder, restoring full, pain free motion. A very positive experience that cured a year old injury.

Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital

Cardiology, Chemical Pathology, + 9 more

I cannot fault my hospital stay in any respect. It was a wholly positive experience, notwithstanding that I had major surgery! Every single member of staff I encountered made me feel I mattered. They were, without exception, so professional and caring and kind. And - when I needed a hug I received several! I would describe the care I received, from start to finish and in every respect, as exemplary.

Ms Ifigeneia Mourelatou

Psychologist

Ifi is kind, patient, caring, knowledgeable and professional. The support we have received has made a real difference, to our son (who is nearly two) with his social and language skills and I would strongly recommend Ifi. It's been a pleasure to receive ESDM parent coaching and I have learnt so much about how to engage and interact with my son. Thanks for all your support.

Moorgate Andrology

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Urology

The booking process was good. David gave me an excellent first impression. He, with Dr. Fragkoulis, and the rest of the team - communicated professionally ensuring they obtained - and all the same - provided the right information to help me with. The staff was kind and reassuring pre-op, and the post-op guidelines were quite straightforward. I would recommend this clinic.

Dr Arul James

Anaesthetist, Pain Management Specialist

Excellent experience today, with Dr James, every time I’ve had this procedure done, he always explains what the procedure entails also during the procedure he is very reassuring and always makes sure I’m ok with what’s happening. Afterwards he will ask how I’m feeling and asks me if I have any questions. He is always caring and professional.
