From the very first appointment, he brought not only expertise and professionalism, but also genuine compassion—something that has made all the difference throughout my journey. His calm, confident approach has always reassured me during moments of uncertainty, and willingness to listen, explain, and guide with such patience has helped me feel truly supported. It’s rare to find a surgeon who combines extraordinary technical skill with such kindness and humanity, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be under Mr Hamed’s care. He’s simply the best! I’m grateful for his dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and the trust he’s built with me over the years.

Mr Adam Critchley

Breast Surgeon

I recently had a breast lift and augmentation with Adam after significant weight loss, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. At 20, I was nervous about such a big decision, and I’ve always struggled with low confidence, but Adam made me feel informed, supported, and confident from the very first consultation. He was thorough in explaining my options, realistic about expectations, and patient with every question I had. For the first time in years, I feel normal again—like myself. I can finally look at my reflection in the mirror without the negative feelings I used to have, and it’s been incredibly freeing. This surgery has truly had a life-changing impact on my confidence. I’m so thankful for Adam’s exceptional skill, kindness, and professionalism, as well as his wonderful team for all their care and support throughout the process.

Professor Yogesh Bajaj

ENT Surgeon

I just want to sincerely thank you for everything you’ve done for me. After struggling with this problem for three years and visiting different places without clear answers, you were the first person who truly understood what was going on. Your expertise, care, and attention to every detail made all the difference. You made sure I went through every step smoothly, with a clear plan and reassurance along the way. You took the time to make sure I was completely fine before discharging me, and your guidance on what to do afterwards has given me so much confidence. I am deeply grateful for your professionalism, patience, and the way you genuinely care for your patients. Thank you for helping me finally find relief and for giving me peace of mind after such a long journey. Thank you so much, Professor Yogesh Bajaj

Private Ultrasound London

Fertility Medicine, Imaging (Scans), + 5 more

I had an appointment today with ultrasound specialist Vera Medic, and I couldn’t be more impressed. She is an exceptional professional, highly knowledgeable, meticulous, and truly dedicated to her patients. Throughout the scan, she was incredibly thorough and explained every step with clarity and care, which made me feel completely at ease. Vera was recommended to me by an acquaintance whose life she quite literally saved by diagnosing a condition that others had overlooked. After my own experience, I fully understand why she is held in such high regard. I’m deeply grateful for her expertise and compassion and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking top quality care.

Mr Fady Sedra

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently saw Mr Sedra for coccyx pain. At my consultation he was very compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. After referring me for an MRI it was confirmed that I had coccydynia, which is indeed what Mr Sedra had initially suspected. Throughout the whole process I’ve found Mr Sedra to be very pleasant, professional and kind. He always listens with care. The steroid injection went really well but I had more pain than anticipated due to factors beyond Mr Sedra’s control and Mr Sedra and his team were very supportive during that time. Mr Sedra’s office team have always been extremely kind, helpful and very efficient at managing appointments and all communication. Thank you!

She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and reassuring. The whole process was managed so well and with great care. We truly felt supported at every step. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy specialist.

Mr Charef Raslan

General Surgeon

Mr Raslan is a supreme professional in his field. His courteous manner from the first I met him whilst I was in hospital to my final meeting months later when he discharged me has been a pleasure every time. This gentleman explained everything to me in clear detail even when I was very ill and his follow ups have been less. I wish him well in his career, I know he will go a long way and he deserves all the success that it brings. Thank you for all your help. P. M.

Basing Hand and Shoulder Clinic

Orthopaedic Surgery

Mr Avis has been so thorough and responsive to the issues. He immediately did multi level investigation to separate my shoulder from my wrist issues and literally sorted out the injections into my shoulder on the day I was there. I was so impressed. He is also very pragmatic about the options and empowering to the patient giving all the information to make an informed choice. The hospital orator is beautiful - spotless and all the team are fabulous.

Nightingale Hospital

Nursing, Nutrition, + 2 more

The team on the OCD ward incredibly kind caring and compassionate. It's like being part of a family, including the other 5 patients here. Although, it was challenging at times, I've learnt so much about my condition and I now realise that my beliefs does not necessarily mean it's true. If you're suffering with OCD and feel like you're alone or you have nowhere else to turn to, I highly recommend the Nightingale's 28 day inpatient stay.

UK Vein Clinic - Manchester

Vascular Surgery

The staff were all extremely friendly, approachable and knowledgeable, being happy to answer all my questions and put me at my ease. The procedure was quite uncomfortable at times but the staff were on hand to reassure me and to warn me when to anticipate some discomfort. Once the procedure had been completed, the discomfort totally dissipated and l haven't felt any pain at all since - none whatsoever!

Knightsbridge Doctors

General Practice (GP), Imaging (Scans), + 5 more

It was average. £380 for a 30 min appointment in a Knightsbridge mansion... Disappointing not to be offered any water or tea/coffee whilst waiting and being told to arrive 30 minutes before. Was expecting a high-end service. Felt very basic and outdated, but I cannot fault the clinical service and everyone was friendly. Just feels like a complete rip-off and completely out of proportion cost.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

I had to have 4 visits to get a crown fitted on a rear tooth. Hours after the first temporary crown was fitted it fell off. I attended the surgery the following day to have a second temporary crown fitted but was not informed that, as it was a different Dentist, this would incur a separate charge which is not good practice. This second temporary crown also fell off after a couple of days.

Dr Alberto Murino

Gastroenterologist

Excellent - Dr Dev Chauhan was brilliant - his diagnosis spot on and he has a kind bedside manner - Matron Margaret was very good - one unhappy moment when my nurse told me that thebotherbpatients on the ward did not complain when blood was taken - maybe my pain threshold is different but I found the taking of blood tge most difficult of all. Thank you Deanna I.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Pain Management, Audiology, + 11 more

I was called in the morning & asked to come in earlier than my appointment had been booked. So I went earlier & was seen straight away with no waiting at all. The Staff Nurse was friendly & helpful, explained what would be happening at the operation & gave me written instructions for the day. The nurse who took blood pressure etc was very nice & pleasant.

Mr Nibedan Biswas

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I received excellent care and support from Mr Biswas and the team at Nuffield. Everything went smoothly and Mr Biswas was calm, professional and put me at ease during the visits. So glad I went through with the hysterscopy as I was hesitant to begin with but now feel reassured and was informed of the results straight after with clear next steps.
