Mr Arif Gul

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had spinal decompression after two and a half years of leg weakness and a period of intense pain. I was really lucky to meet Mr. Gul. He had the answers and reassurance straight away. I had been seen by other doctors with varying levels of care and I had become almost resigned that I had lost all the strength in my legs in a very short space of time. I would squat 150kg regularly then all of a sudden I couldn't lift even the bar and I was struggling to get up the stairs. I was worried, anyone would be. For me, the nerves in the spine were being compressed and it was causing this weakness. I had a period of intense pain lasting a couple of weeks. I couldn't walk, I couldn't do anything; I've never been in pain like that. A&E had no idea what to and I was sent away with paracetamol and antibiotics. I left A&E almost on my hands and knees. I met Mr. Gul, some injections were successful but didn’t last, it was clear only surgery was going to fix it. My view on this kind of thing is that if you have a very positive attitude to getting near to as 100% fit as possible, if you have this attitude and you were fit and active before the surgery, you'll recover; quickly too. Mr. Gul sees this from the patients' perspective. He was involved in a car accident and had emergency surgery. His rehabilitation was scheduled for a year and he cut this time frame much shorter through the attitude I’m referring to. I would recommend reading his book which he wrote on this experience, it’ll also give you a measure of the character and quality of the man. Charlotte handles his office, she’ll deal with stuff straight away, a one stop shop for super efficiency. I am incredibly fortunate that Charlotte is there to consider everything. Knowing that when you send her a message, it’s going to get dealt with without any bother has been a wonderful thing. I think that Mr. Gul is lucky to have her and she is lucky that Mr. Gul is so very committed to his work. A brilliant team. Mr Gul and Charlotte, please keep this up for as long as you possibly can. I am immensely grateful for what you’ve done for me.

Dr. Hariharan Kuhan

Dr Hari has been an incredible support to our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very beginning, he has approached my mum’s care with compassion, calmness and genuine understanding. His manner is reassuring without ever being dismissive, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoughtfully. In such an overwhelming situation, that steady, considered approach has meant more than I can put into words. What really stands out is how balanced his advice is. He is open-minded, evidence-aware and always careful to ensure that any recommendations sit safely alongside conventional treatment. That level of diligence and professionalism gave us real confidence and peace of mind. During a time filled with uncertainty, Dr Hari has been a calm and trusted presence. We are truly grateful for his guidance and support

I have recently had cosmetic surgery at Sancta Maria and i genuinely would not want to go anywhere else…. I may be biased as I work at the hospital but for me regardless of who I was the staff were very professional and gave outstanding care. I always watch how every staff members provide this incredible service to other members of the public but honestly they showed me so much care and compassion throughout my surgery. The staff in all departments - especially recovery and ward as that’s where I spent my time mostly. Also Ashley in outpatients for providing me with an appointment for dressing clinic to put my mind at ease when I accidentally got my dressings wet. Honestly I would not want to have had my surgery anywhere else. Thank you all so much. I am very proud to work within such an incredible team.

Dr Jonathan Lai

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Mr Lai highly enough. He cared for me from 12 weeks and delivered my baby via C-section at The Lindo. Given my history of miscarriages, I was extremely anxious at the start of my pregnancy, but Mr Lai’s care and reassurance throughout helped me relax and feel confident that I was in the very best hands. The regular, detailed scans and his clear, balanced explanations were incredibly comforting. He was always accessible, took the time to answer all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. I am also very happy with my C-section recovery and scar. I would additionally like to mention that his secretary is wonderful—always helpful and very easy to get in touch with. I am truly grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Lai.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

1. We were wrong footed by the entrance barrier, but luckily another patient was close to the entrance button. 2. Parking was tight - we had to park in the radiology section, but hoped that would be ok. 3. The surgery was wonderfully light and airy and spatially arranged in such a way that each patient could have space and privacy. 4. The staff i have spoken to on the phone were immensely welcoming and efficient, as were the ladies on the desk on arrival 5. The loos were wonderfully clean and airy. 6. Dr. Johnstone was most welcoming and sympathetic. I can't make the next step work, which is to review Dr. J. On only one visit, my experience was very positive. She was clearly listening to what i was saying, and made a very quick referral, for which I am very grateful.

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

From my initial enquiry about Refractive Lens Replacement surgery, through my surgery and aftercare I have had excellent care from Vision Scotland. Everything was clearly explained and the surgery has left me with the desired result, 20/20 vision with no glasses needed. The only (slight) negative difference here is a greater need for good light when reading at night or close work. The procedure was pain free and I have had no complications. I am looking forward to enjoying the results for (I hope) many years to come. Thank you to all staff involved with my care.

Mr Shaun Haran

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an excellent gynecology appointment today for hysteroscopy at the Royal Hospital. I was very stressed before walking in, but Dr Shaun Haran was extremely professional, kind, and thorough. He explained everything in detail and made me feel reassured throughout the process. I would also like to thank Angela Nurse Pacey and Fatiha, who were incredibly helpful and supportive. Their care and kindness made a huge difference to my experience. I’m truly grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Mr Daniel Dowen

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My visit to Mr Dowen this morning was very informative and comfortable. Mr Dowen explained everything about the knee surgery and even took time to talk me through the X Ray. Mr Dowen replaced my right knee and the recovery and aftercare were excellent ! I chose to return to Mr Dowen as I know that I’m in very safe and capable hands with him. My left knee is now due for replacement surgery and I would not want any other consultant, as I feel very safe and secure with Mr Dowens expertise.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Kelso

Dental Care, Dentistry

All staff at Vermilion are friendly yet very professional. I had an emergency referral after losing four front teeth in a sports accident. Every step of my treatment was explained simply yet in detail. This was especially important for me, a stroke survivor, who has difficulty understanding things. My entire treatment was gentle and painless. I was looked after exceptionally well by reception staff, dental nurses, dentists, hygienists. Would recommend Vermilion Kelso 100%. Thank you

Dr. Paraskevi Theocharis

Paediatric Cardiologist

Dr Theocharis was absolutely wonderful. From the start in assisting me with swift booking and appintoment guidance, to making my 3 year old feel happy and safe throughout what could have otherwise been a scary experience. Her bedside manner is what you hope for anyone but especially for young children. Dr Theocharis provides a level of care and compassion I thought was reserved for movies- I cant recommend her enough.

Mr Gerard Lattouf

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My experience of Gerard and his team on my foot operation was excellent. Everyone at Shepton mallet are very friendly and helpful I cannot praise them enough. After the operation I had very little pain and everything run very smoothly, with an excellent result. Having both feet done has left me pain free, being able to walk better and with the benefit of nice looking feet. Thank you Gerard and your team ⭐️

Spire Wellesley Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dentistry, + 17 more

The admin side of things was a bit bad. Had the wrong shoulder down for surgery and even though said it would be changed still had the wrong shoulder listed on day of surgery. Unfortunately I am in the process of compiling an official complaint regarding the nurse I had on the day of my surgery, worst nurse I have ever had in my 52 years on Thai earth. Truly awful and needs to be removed from the ward.

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a truly wonderful experience at my women’s health appointment. Every member of staff, including the doctor, was caring, supportive, and incredibly respectful. They were responsive to my needs, took the time to listen, and made me feel genuinely heard, seen, and believed. It was such a reassuring and positive experience, and I’m really grateful for the compassion they showed.

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

This was a visit for a small filling. I was apprehensive as usual at the thought of a dentist appointment, but i was made to feel at ease by the friendly staff. The wait time was very short on this day and the whole treatment from start to finish was quick and pain free. The dentist Levi and his assistant were very relaxed, friendly and professional. Thank you

Riz Ultrasound

I attended for an abdomen scan, booked at 1.30am for the same day due to severe pains. It was discovered that I had gallstones. Price is excellent. And the scans were accepted by my gp and I’ve been refereed for surgery. Thank you so much for all your help. Have passed your details onto two others who are also looking for scans.

I recently had an appointment with Dr Colquhoun. I was able to discuss my concerns and symptoms. Dr Colquhoun put my mind at ease explaining menopause and how best we could work out a plan specifically to my needs. I feel in control of my menopause journey going forward. I felt in safe hands. Thank you.
