Mr Ivan Tomasi

General Surgeon

Mr Tomasi saved my life,literally. The gallstones were diagnosed in 2008 and I put up with the chronic pain until April 2025 when I finally told my GP,and had an ultrasound scan. I was seen in outpatient clinic in August. The doctor was going to see me again in 6 months. Then I had Pancreatitis in October and spent 5 days in Cumberland ward. That's when Mr Tomasi comes in. He volunteered to take on what I was told was a tricky case. I knew it too. I hid it from the doctors for years because I foolishly wanted to have my knee replacements first. That decision could havw cost my life. Thankfully, on November 13 Mr Tomasi and his team performed the long overdue cholecystectomy. He spent 20 minutes preop talking to me about all possible outcomes. He was very honest with me. Which I really appreciate. The gallstones were overflowing. I was in pain and had swollen glands. So I know thus wasn't a straight forward cholecystectomy. Mr Tomasi was willing to put his life / career on the line for me. I researched his background beforehand!!, so I knew I was going to make it. What he found during surgery was worse than we both expected. My gallbladder had perforated and was leaking. It wasn't an easy job. I was in theatre for 3 hours, and came back to tell my story. The NHS, again saved my life, ie, Mr Tomasi. I give him the permission to use my surgery as a case study, if he ever needs to. Tell the world how my abdomen was covered in gooey "chocolate!!',and I still left the hospital 5 days later. We just need more medical advancement and better incentives to keep the likes of Mr Tomasi from going private. Thank you Sir, for your contribution to humanity.

I am a very active 51 year old man and Mr Atkinson fixed my medial meniscus tear which had been obstructing movement in my leg. After 8 weeks I am back swimming, practicing Yoga 5 times a week (all poses including deep squats and child pose) and I also started kick boxing again. I will be training jiu jitsu again in a week's time. I also climbed the stairs at Highgate tube station this week - all 100 of them - without any pain or locking. I had a very good experience with Mr Atkinson. From initial to final consultation I was very happy with the care given to me. In fact my girlfriend who is also a doctor was very impressed by Mr Atkinson's knowledge on a variety of questions she asked. He was very accommodating of her as well allowing her to talk to him on the phone and with me in my final consultation. I want to thank Mr Atkinson for putting me forward for this care, without this I would be struggling with my physical activities and now I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much.

Dr Antonis Pavlidis

Cardiologist

I recently consulted Dr. Pavlidis and underwent an angiography procedure at London Bridge Hospital under his care. Dr. Pavlidis demonstrates exceptional clinical expertise and provides care with professionalism and efficiency, ensuring the best possible outcomes for his patients. He takes time to understand individual circumstances and develops treatment plans tailored to clinical needs. His nursing team is highly skilled and dedicated to patient well-being. I am deeply grateful to Farida, Slim, Anne, and Mahmood for their outstanding post-procedure advice and support. We also appreciated the thoughtful assistance from the catering team, which contributed to a comfortable recovery, and we are especially thankful for the special consideration that allowed my wife to stay with me, making a significant difference to my experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Pavlidis and his team for their exceptional care and commitment to patient comfort and safety.

Professor Robert Jones

General Surgeon

I recently had my first surgery and I can’t praise Rob and the entire team highly enough. From the moment I arrived, every single person I met was reassuring, professional, and incredibly kind. The explanations were clear, I felt listened to, and I was never rushed at any stage. My surgeon was outstanding — calm, confident, and compassionate — and made me feel completely at ease before the procedure. The nursing staff and support team were just as fantastic, checking on me regularly, making sure I was comfortable, and treating me with genuine care throughout my stay. The whole experience, turned out to be as smooth and stress-free as I could ever have hoped for. I’m truly grateful for the high level of care I received. Thank you to the entire team for looking after me so well. You’re all brilliant.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

The overall experience was excellent. As an NHS patient I felt I waited too long which affected my mental health and mobility, this wait has impacted on my recovery. I would have waited even longer if I hadn’t gone to my GP and asked for my operation to be escalated. The whole process took six months of physio initial NHS xray took a further 5 months to see the consultant then a further 4 and a half months for op. This has been a nightmare. I am however extremely appreciative of my operation and the treatment I have received during my stay at Hoarders. Also on the discharge sheet I was given a number to call for worries and questions once I got home this number was however not answered and my answer phone message was not called back.

Professor Vik Veer

ENT Surgeon

I have been struggling with CPAP therapy. By being completely determined I tolerate the mask and therapy, with what seems to be high marks, according to statistics -machine generated, (low AHIs, 8 hours no leaks etc.) However I don't feel, and never have felt rested.-six months on. I contacted professor Vir as it seemed to me that there must be other factors at play and my local hospital could only offer CPAP and nothing else. My consultation with Professor Veer was excellent. He took a detailed history, made an initial examination and suggested possible underlying causes and further examinations. His communication skills are exceptional and he is obviously very much on top of his speciality and passionate about it.

Dr John Philip O'Dwyer

Neurologist

I visited Dr O’Dwyer for seizures that had been misdiagnosed as panic attack attacks for many years. I felt that he was the first doctor in 30 years to actually listen to me having been completely let down by the NHS. He is a very kind man, really listens, and doesn’t rush you so you have plenty of time for your brain to remember all of the relevant details. He was very thorough, read all of my notes that I had sent through, asked sensible questions and treat treated me like an equal human being. There is so much more I could say but he is a 10 out of 10 doctor and I would recommend him to anyone who has any neurological problems.

Spire Leicester Hospital

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 3 more

I recently had surgery at Spire Leicester Hospital. The medical staff were amazing, friendly, informative and they really helped put me at ease throughout my stay. However, the administrative side needs be improved, as it took several weeks of chasing before I finally received my booking confirmation. Additionally, after my large open inguinal hernia operation, I was discharged without being offered a wheelchair and had to walk down from the second floor to leave the hospital, which was difficult so soon after surgery. Overall, excellent clinical care, but room for improvement in administration and patient support on discharge.

Mr Mark Farndon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr M Farndon is an outstanding orthopedic Consultant. I have been his patient since he operated my disabling Morton’s neuroma (schwanomma) on my foot 11 years ago which gave back my ability to walk painless. His expertise , kindness and communication skills are what you look for in a specialist. I recently visited him due to a knee problem and again I had a clear diagnosis and a sensible plan to follow. I have highly recommended him to my patients and close family members. If you need an expert and sensible opinion about anything related to orthopedic issues, he is the person to come and see. Thanks again Mark !! Dr L Idrovo,

Mr Amit Patel

Ophthalmologist

I recently saw Dr Patel about my dry eyes, which I've been managing on my own for nearly 10 years. I was considering a septorhinoplasty and wanted to know how best to manage this/any likely impact on my eyes, as well as what else I could do day to day to manage my eyes. Mr Patel took the time to provide a thorough eye examination and explained the condition and where I am in terms of stages and treatment levels. I found his manner very kind and patient with me, as I have a low tolerance for things in my eyes, such as bright lights and staring in one place for a long time.

Mr Raj Bhalla

ENT Surgeon

I had an appointment with Dr. Raj Bhalla today, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care I received. He was incredibly thorough during my assessment and took the time to explain everything clearly in a way that was easy to understand. I truly felt that he listened to my concerns and prioritised my needs throughout the visit. His calm and professional manner made me feel comfortable and completely confident that I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Bhalla to anyone looking for an exceptional ENT specialist.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

Excellent friendly and professional service from Dr Rajan Sethi who provided a routine check up and examined a tooth that had sheared in half. Talked through the options available to me and provided good details and costs involved. I felt entirely confident in the service provided and agreed to a course of treatment that would work for me. A very positive visit.

Peninsula Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly, and the consultants to be very professional and informative. The only negative aspect of my visits is that on my first appointment the radiographer who I was due to see had apparently not been informed that I had arrived. Consequently there was a wait of just over half an hour before I saw him.
