Dr Christopher Horne

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

My GP referred me to an Endocrinologist for an opinion of my symptoms. We chose the Consultant doctor who had the soonest appointment available in our area. Dr Horne is a young Endocrinologist who was personable on meeting and communicated clearly the tests that I should undergo to determine a diagnosis. Most important, he picked up on a comment about my feeling breathless by recommending a test for cardiovascular disease, although this was not his specialty. The result of this test revealed that I needed an emergency heart operation to install a pacemaker. I was kept overnight and received the pacemaker surgery the next day. It was amazing that this was discovered just before it became a crisis. I am so grateful to Dr Horne and the Cardiac team at Salisbury District Hospital. When he had the test results for the original symptoms, Dr Horne also confirmed the endocrinology diagnosis. I recommend Dr Horne without reservation, as a thoroughly Professional and Caring Consultant, who through active listening heard and clear communication explained a path for my medical investigation. His thoroughness picked up on a symptom (breathlessness) that I had explained away as unfitness, or other things. Ready to credit the Cardiac Team for their not insignificant part in my emergency treatment, I would add collaboration with a good dollop of humility to Dr Horne’s attributes. Professional at all times, I felt that he was on my side all the way.

Dear Dr Stavros, I just wanted to write you a quick note to express our huge gratitude for the support you have given our son, and us. Not only is he thriving, but you have also helped us see what we once viewed as weakness as a source of great strength. You have helped us accept him exactly as he is, and instead of wishing to change him, we now want to focus on his many strengths and find ways to support him. Your gentle and supportive approach was truly transformative during a time when we felt completely at a loss and frightened for him. The two sessions you had with him will always remind him that whenever he needs support, there are special people out there who can guide him. That is life changing. He will know that instead of suffering alone, he can trust us to support him and to seek help when he needs it. You also supported us tremendously when we were struggling . Your patience and acceptance were so comforting, even when we did not have the presence of mind to express it at the time. You have changed our sons view of the world, and our view of him and of what is possible when it comes to support. A huge thanks to Kidswell Clinic too - what a wonderful place you have created and thank you for the opportunity to meet Dr Stavros! With huge gratitude,

Dr Silvia Pierini

Paediatrician

Dr. Silvia Pierini is an exceptional pediatrician who truly prioritizes her young patients' well-being. From our first visit, it was clear that she has a genuine passion for her work. Dr. Pierini takes the time to listen to both parents and children, ensuring that all concerns are addressed with compassion and expertise. Her warm demeanor instantly puts kids at ease, making even routine check-ups a comfortable experience. The office environment is welcoming and child-friendly, equipped with plenty of resources to engage young minds. Dr. Pierini’s thorough approach to care, combined with her ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents, sets her apart. I highly recommend Dr. Silvia Pierini for anyone seeking a dedicated and caring pediatrician for their child.

Mr Tariq Ismail

General Surgeon

Excellent service from initial consultation through to my procedure. Having had very complex abdominal surgery 20 years ago, I was extremely apprehensive about having any further investigations on my abdomen but Mr Ismail and his team were incredibly calming and reassuring. Mr Ismail is an absolutely outstanding surgeon, managing to complete my procedure, under extremely difficult circumstances given my level of scar tissue, with barely any discomfort . The whole procedure was explained clearly to me throughout and I would not hesitate to thoroughly recommend him to anyone requiring gastric investigations/procedures. A huge thank you again to Mr Ismail and his team!

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

No problems with the medical teatment. Not sure why I was sent an invoice for medications some days after the treatment. It would have been much easier to pay in the hospital on the day. The invoice doesn't say if you can pay by card by phone or on line. This is a basic service these days. The menu offered for kosher food was limited and most of the items marked as being available weren't. If you're going to offer this service then you need to make sure you have available what you are offering - this is the private wing and one is paying for additional levels of service - not provided here.

Mr Bas Ranganathan

ENT Surgeon

I recently had a medical procedure performed by Dr. Ranganathan , and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care I received. From the very first consultation, Dr. Ranganathan was professional, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. On the day of the procedure, he made sure I felt comfortable and reassured, and the entire process went smoothly. The results have been excellent, and his follow-up care has been attentive and thorough. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his patients’ wellbeing. I truly appreciate his skill and kindness — I would highly recommend Dr. Ranganathan

Mr Bilal M Barkatali

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Barkatali provided outstanding care throughout the recovery following total knee replacement. From surgery through to follow-up, the approach was professional, supportive, and clearly focused on my wellbeing and functional recovery. At six weeks post-operation, I have made excellent progress, achieving a 0–120° bend with a strong, stable knee and no complications. The consultant’s clear communication, timely reviews, and encouragement played a key role in the patient’s smooth and confident recovery. Today I was appropriately discharged after six weeks with excellent overall results.

Mr Saurabh Odak

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Today was the first time in the last couple of years seeing many different healthcare professionals to take this health condition seriously as a wheelchair/crutches user and who relies on her hands than other people with my mobility and my job as a receptionist. I got a clear diagnosis and my options, I didn’t need to push for help. The consultant was very kind and understanding and clear with my options. I felt at ease and happy that I was getting somewhere with my long term issue.

Mr John Awad

Ophthalmologist

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Awad as a consultant surgeon. Mr Awad operated on both my eyes to remove cataracts and to insert replacement premium lenses. Mr Awad put me at ease from our initial consultation and during both operations. He has a friendly but informative and very professional manner. I can honestly say he has changed my life as my vision now is beyond my expectations.

Mr Sudhir Rao

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Rao was very clear as to what has to be done. I have just had a full hip replacement 4months ago and it has been very successful. I have now got the same problem with my left shoulder and he has referred me to another consultant in the same hospital who deals mainly on shoulders so I’m looking forward to seeing him to get my shoulder sorted. I felt very confident in Mr Rao care.

Hillser Clinic

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), Plastic Surgery

I came to Hillser after years of loud snoring and poor sleep. The assessment was thorough and identified exactly what was causing the problem. The minor procedure was straightforward, recovery was quick, and the improvement has been remarkable — my partner says I no longer snore at all and I can notice an immediate improvement in my breathing.

Ophthalmology

I was well looked after and the staff went above and beyond. I have some names but I will not share as I was in and out and cannot remember some names that played quite an integral role to my stay at this hospital. All in all, they eased my worries and kept me informed.

We were very lucky to obtain a parking space, we think this should be made aware to visitors etc and point out the main payment parking places, but the hospital was immaculate and so well signposted to get to the visitors waiting area to see the consultant
