The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Made typos on my medical documents several times regardless of me flagging they require updates Can’t schedule simple appointment times and check with people if they are available instead sending random meeting times which clash with my work On 3 occasions now I have tried to join a meeting to have no one there Even if I am having problems connecting and 2 mins late someone should be in the allocated slot waiting especially given the people you are meeting with are disabled All this titration has done is add extra stress to my life instead of helping anything I am now going through medication withdrawals because I have been unable to meet in my titration meetings regales of me flagging several times that these timings do not work with my work commitments and now I have extra stress and pressure on my life at an extremely stressful time Would not recommend this to anyone it’s taken me a whole year since my diagnosis to even get to this point and I am still being messed around

Professor Yacoub Khalaf

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

We chose Professor Khalaf for our treatment for a second time, after the wonderful service we had when concieving our daughter 4 years ago. Professor Khalaf is a wonderful, warm, kind, professional doctor who went above and beyond to help us through a challenging time. His confidence, professionalism and exceptional knowledge guided us through our treatment smoothly. We opted for the personalised care, and we were able to contact Professor Khalaf directly when needed. His quick replies where greatly appreciated. Professor Khalaf gave us the confidence and reassurance to try again, and I am currently 14 weeks pregnant with my second child. We will be forever grateful to this wonderful Doctor for giving us everything we dreamed of, and we could not recommend him enough!

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Allergy Medicine, Breast Surgery, + 21 more

I recently had a consultation with Dr Tan, and I was truly impressed by the level of care she provided. She showed exceptional compassion and empathy, listened carefully to every concern, and addressed each point thoroughly and individually. No question felt rushed or unwelcome. This review honestly doesn’t do justice to the standard of service we received. I left the appointment feeling completely reassured and confident that I was in the safest hands. Speaking with her felt like talking to someone I had known for years—she was patient and so attentive. Whenever something wasn’t clear, she took the time to explain it fully, even using drawings to help us understand. A service like that will never be forgotten, thank you so much!

Nuffield Health Newcastle

Plastic Surgery, General Surgery, + 6 more

I had a really positive experience staying at Nuffield Hospital. From admission to discharge, the staff were friendly, welcoming and kind. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, reassuring and helpful, which made a big difference during surgery and early recovery. Even when things were not perfect, such as not having a post-surgery bra in my exact size and sending me home in one that was a bit too big in the cups, the care and effort from the team never wavered. They handled everything with warmth, professionalism and good humour! Overall, I felt well looked after, respected and supported and I am very grateful to the staff who made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and manageable. 💗

KIMS Hospital

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 26 more

The staff at KIMS Hospital are truly amazing and incredibly friendly. Their professionalism and genuine compassion were unmatched by any experience I’ve had in NHS care. I felt supported, reassured, and well looked after from start to finish. Several people stood out during my stay: Amy in recovery, David, who prepared me for the epidural, Becky, my physio, and Mark, who handled my medication. My two nurses who cared for me around the clock were also outstanding — attentive, kind, and consistently reassuring. I honestly can’t fault any part of the care I received. Thank you to the entire team for making a daunting experience so much easier.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I had an online ADHD assessment with Bernhard Kelley-Patterson. Bernhard was very friendly and professional, I felt at ease throughout the appointment and would happily talk with him again. So far my experience with Skylight has been very positive, the wait times between communication emails are generally 3-5 days and it took approximately 8 weeks to get my first appointment after the registering my interest. Considering the NHS waiting list for an ADHD assessment is 4 years, I’d say that pretty damn good. I would highly recommend opting for Skylight through the ‘Right to Choose’ pathway via the NHS. Thanks Bernhard and thank you Skylight

Miss Melissa Davies

Urologist

"1 cannot recommend Dr. Melissa Davies highly enough. For several years, I struggled with persistent incontinence issues that significantly impacted my daily life and confidence. From my first consultation, Melissa was incredibly thorough, empathetic, and patient. She took the time to explain all my treatment options clearly and worked with me to find a long-term solution that actually worked. Her friendly approach made me feel relaxed and comfortable and my symptoms are now almost completely resolved. She has enabled me to live life to the full again with no embarrassments or accidents.

Mr Parkash Ramchandani

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I have had two benign but unsightly lumps removed from my forehead and I am very pleased with the results and the entire experience. From my initial appointment with Mr Ramchandani to my final post operative review with him yesterday, I received all the information I needed followed by first class care and attention. I have complete confidence in his expertise and sincerity. I am also grateful to his PA Alison for her kindness and efficiency in arranging and rearranging my appointments to fit in with my changing commitments. Thank you very much.

Mr Karthik Karuppaiah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently saw Mr. Karuppaiah for surgery on my right hand due to severe Dupuytren's disease. Being aware of the potential complications listed online, I was quite nervous, but Mr. Karuppaiah’s professional demeanor and excellent bedside manner immediately put me at ease. The entire process was seamless. My recovery has been incredibly smooth; my fingers are now straight, the scar is barely visible, and I have regained full function in my hand. I am so grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend his services.

Dr Craig Mowat

Gastroenterologist

I had been referred by Bupa and the Dundee location wasn’t the nearest but it was possible to get an appointment sooner. So it proved awkward to drive to but I knew that when booking. For my discharge appointment it wasn’t great driving for three hours round trip for a five min chat that could have been done over the phone. Otherwise I had a really great experience with the team and Dr Mowat. He was speedy, knowledgeable, understanding, patient, professional, friendly and very approachable. I would highly recommend

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Sonography, Pain Management, + 37 more

We paid £240 to the consultant and gained no extra knowledge or benefit. She basically couldn’t help because she said I needed fertility and not recurrent miscarriage. She said there was a fertility consultant there I should have booked with. Then why not offer to not charge me and book me with right person? Isn’t that what healthcare should be about rather than about taking my money? There is no triage service in place to make sure I got the right appointment. I feel robbed at a time where I am vulnerable.

Dr Moses Batwala

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Doctor Moses and his team have really supported us through our IVF journey. He has always been at hand to answer and questions/issues that we have faced along the way. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed through a very stressful period nothing was every to much, the attention to detail was second to non with a great personable touch. I could not recommend Dr Moses enough to people that need this service moving forward and in my eyes he is an absolute legend!

Mr Rashid Abu-Rajab

Brilliant surgeon,l come with a lot of bad baggage when it comes to health care in general and doctors. and l have a history of mismanagement not just my health but close family .He went to a great effort to make me understand what he was doing and why.he is very caring l just wish that all my interactions with people l have met in the past had been the same, it would have made my 84years much happier, the world would be a good place with more people like him

Dr Alan Watson

Gastroenterologist

Dr Watson is a highly professional and compassionate consultant. He demonstrated excellent knowledge throughout my consultation, providing clear explanations and offering reassurance regarding my concerns. I have consulted him previously for severe IBS, and on both occasions he was thorough, attentive, and supportive. I have great confidence in his expertise and the standard of care he provides.
