Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

It is extremely unpleasant being treated as a cash cow. I had diagnostics for cataracts at Bath St on 18 December 2025. It seemed organised and the consultant, Mr Rajesh Deshmukh (RD), answered my questions and so did his practice manager Paula Jessup (PJ). I subsequently asked for written information on the kind of lenses RD recommended and I had agreed to. They are EROV lenses. When I asked for it, PD's response was that RD had talked to me, I said I couldn't remmber everything and my eyes were dilated so I couldn't see information he showed me on his phone. The written information was not provided. in advance of the surgery. PJ directed me to RD's website. The information on the website writes briefly on product benefits, but doesn't explain how they work. I had bilateral cataract surgery on 2 February at New Cavendish. St. Thgere was no explanation, written or verbal, of the process, eg pre-med, med, timing of procedure, rest afterwards. (There is a very brief outline in PD's email of timing). People came and did things to me as the 'animal for slaughter'. Before the procedure, I was given a paper form to fill in for registration. I had already done this at Bath St. Surely the information is on the system. I needed to find my BUPA number and authorisation code again, GP Practice etc. I also had received a pre-procedure call when this information could have been checked etc. For several days, I couldn't read the written instructions provided after the procedure. A nurse did discuss them however I hope it is understandable that I didn't remember all of them. Additionally I couldn't read the numbers on the eye drops packing for several days. The second bullet point on the instructions says 'your vision will be blurry for the rest of the day and possibly the next week'> This is repeated as the 7th bullet point on the instructions on the second page. The instructions have not been prepared with this in mind. On the first page, the instructions also says if you feel any pain or discomfort in the eyes etc please call the clinical helpline number above. The number is not on the document. On the second page, last bullet it says, '....If you vision (there is a typo it should say your vision) becomes significantly more blurred etc, please contact your consultant. On the phone PD, said if you think you have an infection go straight to A&E. All of this is unclear. Overall the instructions are presented in an illogical and careless way. The day after my surgery PD phoned around 6.30 pm to ask about how I was. I would suggest this is too late in the day for a recovering patient, and the instructions say ' we would like you to go home and take it easy'. She also said she would send a prescription for further drops to my GP practice. On Thursday, I phoned to let her know that the GP Practice said they haven't received them. Her response was, if you have received them, they have. Fortunately I had taken a printout of the prescription to my GP surgery and they logged it into the system and have actioned. I do not think the response from PD was helpful and it could be called defensive. There appears to be no-one who takes responsibility for the patient and ensures that they are looked after.

Hiba first treated me for quite a serious ankle injury. From my very first session, I immediately felt comfortable and supported by her warm and friendly presence. This injury was extremely hard for me, as it meant I could not play my favourite sport, football, which was really tough both physically and mentally. However, each week my session with Hiba became the highlight of my week. Not only is she an excellent physio who guided me through a quick, safe, and thorough recovery, but she also took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I always understood what we were working on. She never rushed me and always listened to how I was feeling, which made me feel truly cared for. On top of that, she has an amazing sense of humour, which really helped lift my spirits and made even the hardest rehab sessions enjoyable. After recovering from my ankle injury, I unfortunately injured my knee. Without hesitation, I knew I wanted Hiba to treat me again. Having already been through a tough recovery with her, I trusted her completely and felt reassured knowing I was in excellent hands throughout the process. During my knee rehab, she was just as supportive, knowledgeable, and encouraging, constantly motivating me to keep going even when it was challenging. Thanks to Hiba’s expertise, patience, and genuine care, I was able to regain my confidence and get back to playing football, the sport I love. I could not recommend her highly enough to anyone needing physiotherapy. She truly goes above and beyond for her patients.

Prof. Adam Frampton

General Surgeon

I had surgery in November at New Victoria Hospital for multiple abdominal hernias under Professor Frampton after seeking a second opinion, and I’m very glad I did. From the first consultation, he was friendly and reassuring, took the time to explain everything clearly, and answered all my questions, which put me at ease after a previous, less positive experience elsewhere. On the day of surgery, he came to see me beforehand and talked everything through again, which I really appreciated. The surgery itself went extremely well, using a no-mesh technique, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly I recovered. I had minimal pain and was back to normal activities within a week. I am now two months post-op and so far the hernias have stayed closed. I am able to do activities that would previously have caused me pain, which has made a huge difference to my day-to-day life. At my follow-up appointment, Professor Frampton was pleased with how well I’d healed and again took time to answer my questions. I felt listened to, well cared for, and very confident in his expertise throughout the whole process.

It was OK. Sorry this system doesn't allow me to write why I went there and therefore wastes my time! I was there for a Pre op assessment. My Op is 9 Feb 2026 under Dr Panos Gikas. I asked him if I could attend this clinic as it is nearer where I live. The. appointment was alright. The only issue I had was that when it came to having a blood test, they insisted that I had to have 2 separate ones in each arm? I get blood tests regularly as I have a long term condition. The first one was relatively pain free which was performed by Isabella. The second was performed by Riggs(?) and was unneccessarily painful due to him holding down the needle when it was in my arm. I was not happy about that. I did not understand the reason for the second blood test, when one is usually fine and if more blood is required, then usually another vial is attached as necessary.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, Dermatology, + 21 more

I had an excellent experience at the Lindo Wing. Everyone (midwives, baby doctors, anaesthesiologists) were exceptionally calm, supportive, and reassuring throughout my stay. Every step was clearly explained, and all questions were answered with patience and care. Even with the smallest concern about my baby’s health, a neonatologist was promptly invited to carry out a full assessment, which gave me great peace of mind. I was also supported with my baby’s breast attachment immediately in the delivery room, which was incredibly helpful. The rooms are very well equipped, and during delivery both my and my baby’s heart rates were continuously monitored and carefully assessed. After the birth, we received ongoing guidance on next steps, and both my baby’s and my own health were checked frequently and thoroughly.

10/10 experience. We had our 10 year old son assessed for ADHD. From the moment i called to enquire about the process and what are the steps involved to the actually assessment, everyone has been amazing. Steven in the front office walked me through the entire process, what to expect, costings etc. he was polite, kind and very professional. Dr Hollie Hearfield who did the assessment was lovely. She was so good with our son, she explained everything to us as to what the next steps are. I cannot recommend you enough to others who might be thinking of going private. Its an overwhelming decision to make and it has been nothing but informative and easy with Berkley's. Keep up the amazing service that your staff deliver x

Mr Faisal Hussain

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a rotator cuff tear repair 12 months ago. Operation was a complete success and I now have full movement in my shoulder joint. I followed Mr Hussain’s instructions to the letter and religiously did the exercises as instructed by the physiotherapist post op. It was tough at first but worth the pain and inconvenience having been restricted for several years. Mr Hussain managed my expectations, explained the options clearly and listened to my concerns. He told me it would take 12 months to be fully recovered and he was spot on! I d highly recommend him for any shoulder or knee surgery. Many thanks.

The nursing team were especially kind and reassuring throughout. The London Clinic is exceptionally well‑organised, and the level of patient care is truly outstanding. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for high‑quality medical treatment in a supportive environment.

Dr. Qutayba Almerie

General Surgeon

I was very impressed with Dr Almerie's manner and his explanations of my symptoms and options. Everything was done in a way which was easy to understand and gave me confidence. The actual surgical visit was made as comfortable as I could have wished, and I was discharged with adequate instructions for the recovery period. My follow up consultation has just taken place, and was done in a very prompt and friendly way. I am very happy with the whole experience of being treated by Dr Almerie.

Mr Brendan Gallagher

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am writing this as an NHS patient and I can’t speak highly enough of the care, kindness and consideration that I received from the moment I arrived at the hospital. Mr Gallagher was thorough, clear in explaining the treatment options available and their potential benefits and drawbacks. He gave me time to ask questions which he answered patiently and with clarity. I feel confident that if I have any concerns or worries I will be heard and I know that I can ask advice at any point.

Professor Siôn Glyn-Jones

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a truly excellent experience when having a hip replacement operation. Professor Glyn-Jones did an excellent job of the surgery with the minimal invasory surgery offering a quick recovery. The service offered was completely professional and the whole experience was well-organised. The Manor Hospital in Oxford provided a good base for the operation. Overall I was delighted with the experience,

Mr Dominic Coull

General Surgeon

I had an umbilical hernia and had never had surgery with full anaesthetic before. Mr Coull was professional, thoughtful and very clear about my options and how everything was going to work. I felt looked after and in very safe hands. The surgery was quick and the recovery too. Cant recommend him highly enough. Also his PA Staci! All questions answered quickly and comprehensively! A great team.

Dr Mohamed Dorgham

Anaesthetist

Very impressed with Dr Dorgham's full understanding of my complex issues, balancing possible pain management options, whilst supporting my surgical referral. Helpfully he was also able to clarify that my main problem is now hip pain rather than long standing concerns over the severity of spinal narrowing. I left more positive about the help on offer in the future.
