Mr Daniel Dowen

Orthopaedic Surgeon

On admission to Sunderland Royal Hospital in February 2025 I was placed in the care of Mr. Dowen. I was in very severe pain in my right leg after a fall at home in November 2024. Despite earlier hospitalisation I had had 16 weeks without any alleviation of the pain. The care I received from Mr Dowen and his whole team was second to none. I couldn’t have been in better hands. Within a very few days Mr Dowen carried out a very complex operation which was followed by 48 hours in Intensive Care and I was soon totally without pain. The bedside manners of Mr Dowen and his team were excellent. All procedures were explained to me before they were carried out. Although they were all busy people they made me feel that they had all the time in the world for me. The aftercare I received on discharge was just as good with several outpatient visits arranged, mainly with Mr Dowen himself, so that he could keep tabs on my progress. I honestly don’t think I could have had any better care and will always be very grateful for the treatment I received.

Mr Stephen Andrews

Urologist

I have found both Mr Andrews, and his personal assistant Vikki, excellent. Mr Andrews has shown me a very caring attitude and always has time to listen and responds in a very respectful and professional manner. He goes out of his way to explain and support his medical opinion, and shows courtesy and compassion which I have found so helpful and quite honestly hugely appreciated in the medical profession. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him, and I know that should I need any further assistance I will be in contact without a doubt. Vikki is incredibly helpful and makes contact very smooth and friendly, again a breath of fresh air in the this profession. Thank you Mr Andrews.

Riz Ultrasound

Physiotherapy

I really appreciated being able to get a quick appointment and having my scan done by a doctor radiologist who could then explain what he saw and give me some advice. The scan was done quickly and it allowed me to promptly get the scan done for my GP. I was super pleased that the report arrived quickly, it was there in my emails before I even got home! There was a chaperone there too, the clinic was nice and the receptionist was very warm and friendly and efficient. All in all a great discovery for me as I felt the prices were very reasonable for private scans so I could use the service for regular health checks..

Albion Dental : Brighton

Dentistry

My son needed to have two teeth extracted prior to being fitted with braces the following month. The dentist was extremely caring - especially as the procedure proved to be quite difficult due to the large roots of the teeth being pulled. It took an hour for the first tooth to finally come out - and the dentist recommended that a second appointment be made to minimise the amount of trauma caused extracting both teeth in one go. The appointment was made while the procedure was still ongoing - which was very efficient and was a relief for my son.

Mr David O'Reilly

General Surgeon

At my recent visit, I felt very looked after, made totally at ease and comfortable. My surgeon Mr David O’Reilly was absolutely brilliant talked me through everything what could happen, the procedure and didn’t leave no details out which made me calm and confident I was in safe hands. My surgeon came to see me before the operation checked I was ok and also came to see me after the operation which I was very grateful for as he talked me through everything that he had done. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing the surgery I had done.

Mr Jeremy Latham

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I just had the new ceramic re surface and can honestly say from start to finish with Jeremy it was absolutely impeccable. From in depth analysis, his passion to care for your needs, to give you factual content and to listen to what you want, I could not have been in better company for the last 3 days. Such a really easy going individual, who was great to talk to, settles you down, and calms any nerves instantaneously. Highly recommended to not only work with Jeremy but also his amazing team at Nuffield.

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

Gastroenterology, Anaesthetics, + 10 more

Extremely happy with the service, care and everyone's attentiveness at the Cleveland Clinic. My initial consultation was with Dr Chetan Bhan. He was patient, friendly and made an effort to understand the symptoms I have been experiencing for some time. He quickly assigned my case to Dr Mark Samaan and appointments allocated swiftly too. I came away feeling reassured by that the Cleveland Clinic would be able to help. Also, the clinic is well kept, clean and comfortable. That is a massive plus too!

Mr Matija Krkovic

General Surgeon, Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having already one total knee replacement done by Mr Krkovic, I am looking forward to the next operation. Mr Krkovic is highly knowledgeable, understanding and explains all options and outcomes thoroughly in order to aid the patient in making decisions based on best possible personal outcomes. The range of movement I now have in my new knee is amazing and, whilst I do t think I'll be able to chase after my grandchildren at any speed, my quality of life has improved considerably.

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

Clarity - Blackpool

Ophthalmology

I decided to have laser correction done privately after finding out the waiting time for NHS treatment was too long. My cataract operations and laser correction on one eye were done at Chec and I have nothing but praise on the way I was treated by all staff, clinical as well as administrative. Based on this I had full trust in using Clarity, knowing that I would be treated by the same caring consultants.

Mr Simon Wemyss-Holden

General Surgeon

I was recommended to SWH by a couple of Pals who had hernia ops performed by him some years previous. I am now extremely grateful for the recommendation and the level of service I was given. SWH went about his business in a professional and friendly manner and worked alongside a great anesthetist too. You're in safe hands with Simon and his team. All staff at Spire Norwich were charming too!

Dr Nick Losseff

Neurologist

Dr Nick was very polite and clear as to what needs to be done, what I should do and what I should avoid doing. Was very friendly and easy to talk to, patient and understanding. I felt well taken care of, both as a patient and as a fellow human being - in my past experiences, a lot of doctors treated me as a pain. That was NOT the case here, thank you.

Skin55

Dermatology

I am very grateful to the staff who kindly cared for me after I had a bad fall in the street. Nikki and Julia were extremely caring and thoughtful and looked after me superbly until they felt I was well enough to leave. The clinic facilities were excellent and it was so generous of them to provide the care without charge.

Mr Khine Myo

General Surgeon

Although clearly busy, Mr Khine took the time to meet with us after a recent procedure to discuss the outcome. He was clear, helpful and concise, he made sure we had ample opportunity to answer questions. He has a very approachable manner, and we were very happy with the care and attention we received.
