Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

would like to make a complaint following an IPL treatment I had on 21/01/26. I had a consultation with Dr Branka and a subsequent telephone conversation with Krupa. I repeatedly asked this whether was risk of my symptoms being exacerbated by the treatment. I was repeatedly reassured that this would not happen. I had email exchanges with Krupa where she assured me repeatedly that the greatest reaction that I would get would be mild reddening around the eye lid for 30 mins. I had explained that I had a job interview the following day and was advised that would not be any reaction or issue. I was reassured both by email and in person on the day. My skin had a significant reaction to the procedure. The possibility of such a reaction to such a procedure had never been explained or even suggested. On meeting Dr Branka post procedure, she told me that my eyes weren’t dry, and in fact were significantly better. She said the tear break up was 7 seconds and that there had been an improvement, however I would like a second opinion on this, as they feel dryer and are visibly red, whereas they were not immediately beforehand. The visibly look and feel much worse than prior to the procedure. I completely feel like I’m being fobbed off. When I said to Dr Branka that I was not made aware of the risks she cheerfully old me that I signed the consent form and that of course there is the possibility of this reaction particularly with my very think skin. I was completely unaware that I had thin skin or that there could have been such a complication which would exacerbate my skin and eye problems. I explained that had a risk of this IPL been ‘worsening of dry eye symptoms, worsening of ocular rosacea/ rosacea’ I would have NEVER had the procedure. Dr Branka just said of course there was a risk and told me it happens in those people with rosacea. This had NEVER been mentioned in the consultation prior to the procedure. My eyes were not significantly bothersome prior to the treatment, I did it as a preventative to improve the gland and to avoid the dry eye disease progressing. When I asked Dr Branka what next in terms of how I manage this now worse situation she said that I can only use cotton flannels and saline as I am reactive to most things. She has told me I need to pay privately for a dermatologist for advice. This is not only causing me health problems but costing me money to resolve this. I have already spent over £700 for the consultation with dr Branka and the procedure! I am left anxious, distressed and upset by this experience and the ongoing problems. It has caused further issues with my skin. The rosacea was not posing a problem prior to the IPL and while I had been prescribed Soolantra and Azealic acid I had not needed to take them as I was not experiencing a flare up. I do not know where to go now for help, advice or to resolve this issue. I am really upset as my eyes and skin have worsened as a result and I am left alone to deal with it or pay out for help to try to correct it. Again, to reiterate, I would never have had IPL if I had known there was any risk of worsening symptoms. This was never explained, even when I explicitly asked initially. Dr Branka from from the outset said I was a good candidate but I needed to check with a dermatologist due to family skin cancer. I had checked this and the dermatologist said it would not be a problem from the perspective of skin cancer. I would like another opinion. I would like advice treatment and next steps. Not from dr Branka as all faith has gone.

Mr Marc Laniado

Urologist

Marc and his whole team at Sage were fantastic from beginning to end throughout the whole process. Once it was identified I had a problem with my prostate which needed to be addressed, the Sage support team quickly kicked in and started the process. The initial face to face meeting with Marc was first class, which put both myself and my wife at ease. This was followed up with a detailed breakdown of my status and required next steps. There was a very tight window for him to operate before Christmas; but this was dependant on the scan images being made available as very short notice. His team were tireless in their pursuit of the images form the NHS. Only because of their diligence were the images were delivered in a timely manner to Marc and the hospital. On the day of the operation I was visited by Marc and the anesthetist prior to surgery, which was a great success. I was seen again by Marc the following day and then allowed home later that day. All of the team who looked after me were outstanding and did a great job. The post surgery follow-up and care has been equally good. His team are always available and I have seen Marc twice post- operation. His guidance, support and professionalism has been outstanding. As well as being a great surgeon Marc is empathetic to the mental and emotional toll that a cancer diagnosis and surgery take. For me he is at the top of his game in this field and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in a similar position.

Mr Chin Hooi Gan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I wanted to share my experience with Mr Gan in the hope it helps other women who may be facing complex gynaecological surgery, including hysterectomy, or living with severe endometriosis. From the very first consultation, Mr Gan was calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely reassuring. He took the time to listen properly, never rushed my questions, and explained everything clearly and honestly — including the complexity of my condition, the reasons a hysterectomy was recommended, and what surgery would realistically involve. I always felt heard and respected, which is so important when you’re already feeling anxious and vulnerable. I underwent extensive surgery under Mr Gan’s care, including excision of deep infiltrating endometriosis and a hysterectomy. Throughout the entire process he demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. He was thorough, confident, and clearly highly experienced in managing complex endometriosis cases and major gynaecological surgery. Mr Gan combines clinical excellence with genuine compassion — something that makes a huge difference to patient wellbeing. I am deeply grateful for his care and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone facing a hysterectomy or complex gynaecological surgery for endometriosis. Thank you, Mr Gan, for your skill, kindness, and reassurance during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

Mr Christian Brown

Urologist

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Christian Brown, who treated me for prostate cancer and performed my surgery. From my very first consultation with him through to my recovery, his care has been outstanding. Mr Brown's manner put me at ease immediately. He combined genuine warmth and compassion with exceptional professionalism, making what could have been an overwhelming experience far more manageable. His communication was exemplary, he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions thoroughly, and ensured I understood each stage of my treatment and what to expect. His expertise and skill as a surgeon are evident in my excellent recovery. The surgery went extremely well, and I've been impressed by how smoothly my recovery has progressed. Throughout my entire journey, Mr Brown has inspired complete confidence. He is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, providing reassurance at every step towards my wife as well as towards me, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under his care. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone facing a similar diagnosis.

Newmedica Grimsby

Ophthalmology

Mum was almost blind wearing really thick glasses, and couldn't see at all without them. She had a few complications with her eyes but Dr Stewart and team endeavoured to give her as much sight back as possible, even if just slight. After her cataracts surgery on the 'good' eye, she is like a new woman. At nearly 78yrs old, mum doesn't need to wear her glasses for the first time since she was young. She can see clearer and further away. Close up is still difficult but we trust that after both eyes are done, and potentially glasses again with alot less prescription, she will be able to see so much better. She's had no pain or anything. The drs were brilliant and we can't thank them enough. This is the best thing to have happened to mum who was petrified to get her eyes done. She says he is the best Dr I have ever seen and I'm so happy.

Professor Ranjit Akolekar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Professor Akolekar has been amazing during our pregnancy and visits to the clinic. His attention to detail in scans is fantastic, and he always takes the time to explain what everything means so we feel fully informed on our baby’s development. Professor Akolekar has really taken time to go over my worries and check my concerns , which has given me so much peace of mind. I feel completely reassured that everything will be checked and we will be able to make the best informed decisions for the safe delivery of our baby.

Mr Michael Kuo

ENT Surgeon

I had a consultation with Mr Kuo recently, which was a delightful experience. Mr Kuo was knowledgeable and had extensive experience. He patiently examined my throat with explanations of each step and responses to my concerns. To ascertain the cause, he also discussed with me some of my eating and drinking habits that could contribute to the symptoms. I left the consultation with a eased mood and confidence in elimininating the symptoms with his diagnosis and prescription.

I had a great experience with Dr. Aradhna Gupta and her team. I was seen right on time, and the receptionist was very accommodating when I needed to adjust my appointment time. Dr. Gupta was friendly and welcoming, as was her assistant, which made the visit very comfortable. She gave me a thorough check-up and took X-rays to ensure everything was properly assessed. I’m very satisfied with both the examination and the overall service.
