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

Dr Moez Dungarwalla

Haematologist

Dr. Moez Dungawalla was my doctor during one of the most difficult and painful periods of my life, and the care he provided was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he made me feel safe, supported, and confident that I was in good hands. He was always honest and straight to the point, which I deeply appreciated, but he delivered everything with genuine care and compassion. In moments when things felt overwhelming, his professionalism, calm presence, and clear communication made all the difference. He never made me feel rushed or dismissed, and I always felt heard and respected. Dr. Dungawalla is not only incredibly skilled at what he does, but he also treats his patients with real humanity and kindness. I am truly grateful for the care he gave me during such a hard time, and I can’t speak highly enough of him as both a doctor and a person.

Dr Mark Philip Cassar

Cardiologist

I had a letter requesting me to attend an outpatients apointment for cardiology. I was unsure why and obviously I was very concerned and worried when attending the appointment. Dr Cassar was very professional and explained everything very clearly. I was not felt to feel foolish about asking questions and every question was answered in detail. I was given very good advice about nutrition and living a healthy life. I went in with trepidation but came out of the appointment extremely happy that everything had been clearly explained and my concerns had been treated with clarity in a friendly, professional manner. I was made to feel like a person that mattered.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

My son had a surgical extraction and the procedure was very calm and relaxed for him. I was able to be there too, so I watched the whole procedure and was very impressed at how clean the procedure was, resulting in a positive experience and successful extraction, ahead of upcoming orthodontic work. Waiting times weren't too long, although for private treatment we had hoped to be seen a little sooner than we were. The practice staff were friendly and very welcoming and high standards were evident throughout, in terms of hygiene and care. My son has no pain and is recovering well.

GenesisCare Cambridge

Oncology

The overall experience was good at the start been going go treatment over a year the oncologist never contacts me only if I complain the nurses never pass my concerns on I’ve been waiting for private prescription for 6 days which has never turned up rang and spoke to a doctor he promised to pass it on to oncologist never happened after 4 phone calls the service is disgusting the amount of fees I am paying I expect a better service than I’m getting I’m seriously thinking of going back to NHS where I did get better service I certainly wouldn’t recommend Genesis Care to anyone

Matrix Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology

It is a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Each patient (and accompanying person) seemed to have a good interaction with the staff. There was a good discussion with Mr. Smith on the situation with respect to the eyes and possible treatments which may also need to be done elsewhere. He listened to my comments and questions and responded in a clear way. During the treatment care was taken to warn me of any possible pressure on the face, but Mr. Smith has a light touch so there was never any problem. All three treatments in 2025 were done very well.

Poland Medical

Cardiology, Dentistry, + 12 more

I am extremely satisfied with the services at Poland Medical in Harrow. Every time I face health issues, I can always count on professional advice, thorough examinations, and an accurate diagnosis. I am particularly happy with the pediatrician; my children have received the best care in the world here from a doctor who always goes above and beyond. I cannot imagine a better place for me and my entire family. The doctors are professional, kind, and always helpful, and the same goes for the lady at the reception. I highly recommend this clinic!

Basuto Medical Centre

Dermatology, General Practice (GP), + 1 more

Since I joined in 2000, I have been elightened and guided every step of the journey I needed to make for and with the maintenance and improvement of my health. Dr McMichen has at all times made clear connections between any of symptoms I described and the possible pathology behind them. In addition I have always had the most considered responses to any alternatives there might have been. My experience over 26 years has left me aware of the considerable knowledge and professionalism which I have been offered on each and every visit.

Dr Thuvarahan Amuthalingam

General Practitioner

Saw Dr Thuva for a removal of what I thought was a mole, but he explained that it was actually a sebhorriec keratosis. I had no idea what that was, but he showed me some examples and explained the differences. He looked at it with his magnifying tool to confirm, and then gave me treatment options. He advised on the best one for me, and removal was done on the same day. It was quick and painless, and he gave me all the aftercare advice I needed. Any follow up questions I had, he was more than happy to help.

Mr Divyang Shukla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had my right hip replaced in 2015 by Mr Shukla, this has made a huge difference to my life giving me my life back. Allowing me to continue with my daily life and exercise, cannot thank him enough. Now I need my knee replaced and would only go to Dr Shukla. He is very caring, explaining everything to me and listened to my questions, answering everything that I asked. I know that I am in safe hands with Dr Shukla, and would only want him to do my operation. Cannot thank him enough, brilliant surgeon.

Professor Amtul Carmichael

General Surgeon

I attended the private hospital for an ultrasound and consultation, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I was very nervous on arrival, but the staff were incredibly friendly, reassuring, and immediately put me at ease. Communication throughout was fantastic, with everything clearly explained. The facilities were modern, extremely clean, and well maintained. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend the hospital.

Clarity - Kings Norton

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

Transfered to Clarytin after disappointing time with NHS awaiting time for appointment for cataract removal. Very pleased with Clarity who saw me very shortly after referral and operated on a week later. I was going to wait for the next operation on the NHS on the 4th February but when that was moved to sometime in April, I took the next available appt on January 20th for a private operation. Both private experiences have been a pleasure and very good.

Sapphire Eye Care

Ophthalmology

Every stage of my procedure for my cataract operations (both eyes a week apart) went like 'a dream' from the excellent initial Consultation with Professor Luff, to the 2 excellently/professionally executed outpatient operations he and his excellent team carried out, to the excellent aftercare and not to mention the miraculous results!. If anyone (like me!) is petrified of such procedures I would highly recommend Professor Luff and his Sapphire Team.

Mr Aman Khanna

ENT Surgeon

Thank you for your service Dr Khanna - your were very helpful, clear with information. Our appointment was on time which was refreshing as the norm now is to wait over 30mins on appointments. It was nice and relaxed which was lovely, especially because the appointment was for my daughter aged 8, and the hospital can sometime feel overwhelming for children. Special touch with the certificate at the end. Thank you kindly

Mr Matthew Bultitude

Urologist

I have been in Matt's care for about 8 months or so from start to finish. He is a world class professional with an excellent approach as well. Never had any doubts about his abilities or knowledge. Never once put me under any pressure or rushed me. HOPEFULLY I will never have to use him again but if I have a reoccurrence I will 100% be using Matt.
