Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

We are extremely grateful to Dr Shalini Chawla for her care and support through our pregnancy and delivery. We came to her with a complex background — a previous emergency C-section and a very strong desire for a VBAC this time. While some other doctors were hesitant or not fully supportive of this plan, Dr Chawla took the time to understand our priorities and supported us in a thoughtful, evidence-based way. Throughout the pregnancy, there were moments of anxiety and during these times Dr Chawla was always available for us. She guided us calmly and clearly on what to do and when to act, which provided enormous reassurance and prevented unnecessary panic. What stood out most was her flexibility and accessibility, even late at night, which gave us immense reassurance during a very anxious decision-making process. As the pregnancy progressed, plans evolved. VBAC remained our preferred plan throughout, but once we reached our agreed backstop date, we understood that an elective C-section would be required. Even then, discussions continued right up to the night before, with Dr Chawla patiently walking us through the options and ensuring we felt fully supported and informed at every step. Ultimately, we did require an emergency C-section, but Dr Chawla handled the situation with exceptional calm and control. She orchestrated the theatre smoothly, communicated clearly, and the surgery itself was excellent. Recovery has been good, which speaks to the quality of the procedure. Beyond the technical skill, Dr Chawla was consistently reassuring, present, and supportive — both during delivery and afterwards. We never felt rushed or dismissed, and she was always there when we needed guidance or reassurance. We would highly recommend Dr Shalini Chawla - her clinical competence, flexibility, and genuine patient support is rare and deeply appreciated.

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.

This is truly a very pleasant clinic. All staff put you at ease and treat you very well. I had an upper endoscopy performed by Dr Craig Mowat. He is a really patient, polite and conscientious professional man who listened to my concerns and talked me through them. He was very thorough and suggested how I could relive my symptoms mean time until my procedure, which was only a few weeks later. He explained exactly what would happen. The experience was very calm and I was put at ease. Dr Mowat told me of his findings immediately after the procedure and called me to discuss biopsy results a couple of weeks later. The whole experience was calm and quickly put my fears to rest. Thank you very much for lifting a huge weight off my mind - I can now get back to enjoying life!

Mr Wassim Hassan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I saw Mr Hassan following my surgery in December, for excision of endometriosis lesions and polyps. I continue to be impressed by Mr Hassan's clear explanations, and his calm and reassuring bedside manner. His explanation of the findings of my surgery has assured me that the pain and symptoms I have experienced for over 30 years are real, and I felt listened to with both empathy and respect. Mr Hassan has provided me with a clear path for the next 2 years, and I feel reassured that if I experience any issues within that timeframe that I can reach out for a further consult. I would highly recommend Mr Hassan for anyone who is experiencing similar issues. My thanks to Mr Hassan.

Dr Coker always presents in a professional yet approachable manner. She is very clear in explaining any tests results; her treatment plan; and any further investigations she thinks should be undertaken. The language she uses is accessible. She is receptive to answering any questions I might have. She promptly keeps my general practitioner informed of my current treatment, to ensure my medical care is managed holistically. She is an active listener and always allows me time to explain my current symptoms etc. In her professional manner, her approachability and her persistency in investigating my symptoms, I have confidence that I am in good hands.

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.

IVF Matters Fertility Clinic

Fertility Medicine

We cannot thank IVF Matters and Dr Irfana Koita enough for the care, support, and professionalism we’ve experienced throughout our journey. From the very beginning, Dr Koita made us feel listened to, understood, and genuinely cared for. She explained everything clearly, answered every question with patience, and always reassured us when things felt overwhelming. The whole team at IVF Matters were welcoming, compassionate, and incredibly supportive at every step, which made such a difficult journey feel manageable and hopeful.

Dr Andrew Porter

Rheumatologist

Dr. Porter spent 50 minutes with me, carefully going through all the details and asking supportive questions to fully understand my case. What I really appreciated was that he asked for all my previous pericarditis results so he could get a complete and broad picture. He also sent me for additional blood tests to make sure he sees the whole situation clearly. He advised me that he will speak with another doctor about my case, which makes him seem even more professional in my eyes. So far, I’ve had a very good impression.

Dr. Kushan Karunaratne

Neurologist

Super empathetic and clearly knows his stuff. He took the time to explain everything in real detail, breaking it down in a way I could actually understand. He linked things together so it all made sense rather than feeling overwhelming. He also recommended additional medication to take alongside what the NHS had already provided, which has genuinely made a big difference and really helped. I felt listened to, supported, and confident in the plan moving forward.

Dr V J Karthikeyan

Cardiologist

After having the scariest experience I have ever had. Dr V J Karthikeyan was absolutely amazing. Very professional, pleasant, calm natured and caring. He explained what was happening, treatment I would receive and a plan going forward. This made me feel less anxious and understand exactly what was happening. Every staff member was amazing from start to finish. We are lucky to have people like this working for our NHS they literally are saving lives everyday.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

I visited the clinic to discuss removal of a lesion on my eyelid. Having spoken to the consultant Mt Murray I decided to have it removed. I returned two weeks later to have the surgery. All the staff were very supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure to me. In particular Jenny took great care of me and made sure I felt as relaxed as I could be. Everything went to plan and I would like to thank everybody that was involved.

Dr. Michael FitzPatrick

Gastroenterologist

Exceptional gastroenterologist. Very thorough, clear explanations. Extremely patient and kind. I have had a lot of gastrointestinal symptoms over the years and I am grateful to have finally found a gastroenterologist that can help me. Superb bedside manner. I was looked after incredibly well by Dr Fitzpatrick, and the entire endoscopy team. His PA is also excellent always there on the end of the phone. Highly recommended.

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Niv Bhamber is great surgeon who listens to his patients, ensures they have all the information they need to make decisions and always follows up to check that everything is ok. He’s honest when it comes to the pain follows a total knee replacement however he also explains why it’s so important to push through the pain and do the exercises. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

I went for a sigmoidoscopy procedure at the ECEC just before Christmas. I was slightly nervous about having this procedure done but couldn’t have been put at anymore ease by the staff there. The consultant, those carrying out the procedure and nursing staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I can’t thank them enough for making the whole experience bearable.

Mr James Hahnel

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Good and friendly first impression. I felt happy with the recommended path after the different possibilities were explained both clearly and simply. We discussed these options against my desired outcome (wanting to resume an active sporty retirement with a long lasting solution) and I came away feeling confident with the route, procedure and outcome.
