Dr Nigel G Stephens

Cardiologist

I identified Dr Stephens as someone who might be more suited to my age and sporting interests than my previous cardiologist. The difference in approach was like chalk and cheese. Dr Stephens explained the hunch he had, was willing to share surprise that a key test had been overlooked, it was arranged quickly and delivered professionally by what seemed a very experienced and knowledgeable team at Northwick Park (Mary and colleague). The results accorded with the hunch and were extremely good news. This was against a backdrop of having been advised to do three months detraining, not easy for me but doable if necessary, but without any real assurance that it would lead to a diagnosis. Twenty seven days of booked holidays cancelled with deposits refunded, the prospect of beta blockers for a protracted period, not able to give blood, not possible to continue with my previous travel insurer and always with the doubt in my mind that there may be an undiagnosed significant heart issue. I was amazed by the clarity with which the advice was given, the quality of the advice, the personableness of Dr Stephens and the speed/clarity of the communications. after the two appointments. I got lucky in being given enough info by a friend to take the decision to get myself seen by Dr Stephens. The experience has truly been life changing and I can't think of any other way of describing it. To say I am extremely grateful is a total understatement. I was also impressed by Libby and others in the administration team at Maidstone who seemed to handle everything efficiently and slickly. Overall, entirely faultless and massively impressive. Thank you so much (and see you in a year's time!)

Mr Samit Unadkat

ENT Surgeon

From the very first consultation, I felt listened to and taken seriously. Mr Unadkat is calm, thoughtful, and very honest in his approach. He did not overpromise or try to sell a particular outcome, but instead took time to explain what was anatomically possible and what would work best for my face longterm. Speaking with him felt relaxed and conversational, while still being clearly professional and highly knowledgeable, which immediately put me at ease. On the day of surgery and throughout the process, I felt in very safe hands. He was professional, reassuring, and clearly very experienced. At my splint removal, he explained that the surgery had gone very well and talked me through what to expect during healing. Even at that early stage, the improvement in straightness and balance was already clear, despite swelling. What I appreciated most was his conservative, considered decision making and his focus on achieving a natural, masculine result rather than anything artificial or overdone. He also took the time to answer questions honestly, including post operative concerns, which made a huge difference emotionally during recovery. Rhinoplasty can be an anxious process, and I’m grateful to have had a surgeon who combines technical expertise with empathy and clear communication. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Unadkat to anyone considering nasal surgery, particularly if they value a thoughtful, safe, and natural looking approach.

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional level of care and professionalism provided by Dr. Paciello. My experience was characterized by the following highlights: • Exceptional Availability: Dr. Paciello demonstrated remarkable flexibility by accommodating a consultation on very short notice.

Mr John Leach

Neurosurgeon

Mr Leach was absolutely fantastic from the moment I stepped into his office. After months of suffering and multiple GP and hospital visits, I’d become increasingly worried as severe neurological pain set in and my mobility rapidly deteriorated. Following my MRI, John immediately recognised the seriousness of my disc herniation and the level of pain I was experiencing. For the first time, I felt truly heard and understood. Within two days of our consultation, I underwent urgent surgery for a severe far-lateral herniated disc. The operation went extremely well, and John explained that the herniation was beyond the point of rehabilitation. The disc was severely compressing my L4/L5 nerve, causing significant muscle wastage and neurological pain that was difficult to control, despite the strong pain relief I was taking daily. After surgery, John set realistic expectations for my recovery — and it’s worth noting that I was wheeled into hospital, but I walked out the very next day. I’m pleased to say that, ten weeks on, I completed my first four-mile hike without any significant discomfort. I still have some nerve pain and numbness, but my mobility has improved dramatically.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 18 more

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Paul Tierney and the care I received during my recent visit to Spire Hospital Bristol. From the very first consultation, Mr Tierney was the consummate professional — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. During what was a challenging and uncertain time, he looked after my overall wellbeing exceptionally well, not just addressing the clinical issues but also ensuring I felt informed, reassured, and supported throughout my recovery. His communication was clear, thorough, and easy to understand at every stage, which made a huge difference to my confidence and peace of mind. I always felt listened to, never rushed, and completely confident that I was in expert hands. I am extremely grateful for the care, professionalism, and humanity shown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Tierney to anyone seeking outstanding medical care

Dr Khalid Khan

Cardiologist

We got a private referal to see Dr Khan after being treated very badly by the NHS system. They had failed to identify after many tests my condition. Dr Khan immediately set about finding the root cause of the problem and thereby decide on treatment. Thanks to him installing the latest hi-tech diagnostic monitor It was quickly established that I needed a pacemaker, which was subsequently fitted successfully. Through all my consultations and treatments Dr Khan has been reassuring,, knowledgable, gentle and very kind. He has given me peace when I was in a state of extreme anxiety not knowing what was wrong. I owe a great deal to Dr Khan and regard myself as very lucky to have been under his care throughout my experience.

Mr Panagiotis Gikas

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr. panagiotis Gikas was very professional and honest Although the appointment wasn't satisfactory for me because the doctor couldn't give me a second opinion on my back and neck pain since his specialty is lower extremities, he sent me for updated MRI exams so he could give me a responsible and accurate second opinion on my knee and ankle. I emailed the doctor and am waiting for him to reply with his diagnosis from the previous appointment so I can provide my employer with the information they need to continue helping me with the MRI costs and get positive results that will allow me to go to work without any health risks. Thank you very much.

Mr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I had a thoracoplasty surgery with Mr Panagiotopoulos to fix an acquired slipping rib and my experience with him from our consultation to the surgery was amazing. He understood the nature of my issue immediately and took his time explaining the problem and my options thoroughly. During the preparatory period and my hospital stay I felt that I was in the right hands at every step. I struggled with chronic pain for a long time due to the slipping rib, and finding Mr Panagiotopoulos gave me the peace of mind regarding a path to recovery I needed. I highly recommend Mr Panagiotopoulos for this particular issue

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I would highly recommend Skylight for anyone seeking an ND assessment. From the initial inquiry to the final report, the communication was exceptional—they explained every step of the process so I knew exactly what to expect. Key Highlights: Wait Times: The appointments ran perfectly on time, which I truly appreciated. Supportive Staff: They were patient with my questions and created a non-judgmental environment. Helpfulness: They provided clear next steps and resources that felt genuinely useful rather than generic. It’s clear they actually 'get' neurodivergence rather than just checking boxes

The Park Hospital (part of Circle Health Group)

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 19 more

The surgery itself went very smoothly with an epidural and sedation and post-op the care was thorough and well co-ordinated. I'd been forewarned that it was a painful operation but still I needed to experience this first hand. With the kind support of family and friends (they formed a 'I Love my New Knee' Whatsapp group to liaise with one another) my good recovery has taken me by surprise. The hospital was totally 'there' for me with any enquiries. I'm so grateful to have had this opportunity for such prompt 'no fuss' surgical care with a fabulous hospital experience. Thank you.

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 Ben Horsburgh

Urologist

Mr Horsburgh is, by far, the best medical professional I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and being treated by. He is extremely caring and made me feel that my health and well being, amongst his many patients, his only priority at all times. I am truly grateful that I had my surgeries performed by him and whilst I don’t wish to have any further surgeries, if I did have to I would always prefer it to be Mr Horsburgh

Mr Husam Elghalhud

Ophthalmologist

I was referred by my Opticians to have Cataract surgery as my vision, especially at night, was deteriorating. I was given a choice of Consultants by my Medical Insurers and after reviewing them on line chose Mr Elghalhud. I cannot fault the advice he has given nor the treatment I received and am delighted with the result. I now only need glasses for reading newspapers and can now drive again at night.

Surrey Foot and Ankle Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery, Orthotics, + 1 more

I cannot recommend the clinic highly enough. Staff are friendly but professional and the level of care is exceptional. All appointments are followed up very quickly with a letter confirming all that was discussed and then follow up appointments are arranged very quickly. Would not hesitate to use this clinic for any further medical issues.
