Medical Prime Menopause Clinic

General Practice (GP)

I found MP through a friend of my sister who was having an horrific menopausal ordeal so she decided to go private and discovered MP. She spoke very highly of them and so both myself and my sister immediately booked appointments. I had an unpleasant interaction about 2 years earlier with an NHS FEMALE doctor at my GP surgery when I tried seeking help with my menopausal symptoms, as I found her quite callous and unsympathetic as she told me that I just needed to buckle down & get on with it as it is normal and every woman goes through it, but she would describe pills if I couldn’t handle it. I was so disheartened and discouraged that I never sought any further help. So struggled through this for three and a half years without any medical help. I tried a lot of natural & herbal remedies but nothing seemed to help, if anything it made my symptoms worse. I was suffering from awful hot & cold flushes and unbearable itchy skin. It was so debilitating and was making me miserable and I have always been a bright and upbeat individual. I had a talk with Zarina, the office manager, who arranges all the appointments and follow up calls and who was simply put a godsend. She was empathetic, patient, kind and very reassuring. She is an amazing ambassador for the clinic. I referred to her as My Earth Angel, she was beyond helpful. My doctor of choice was Dr Ash. I had my first appointment with her and liked her immediately. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and could answer any question asked of her. She put me at my ease instantly and asked considered and pertinent questions surrounding my symptoms. I never felt that she was just going through the motions and that I was one of many. She was very down to earth, personable and likeable. It almost felt like a chat between friends , although one of them extremely knowledgeable about the subject at hand. I came away feeling fortified and HEARD! Dr Ash immediately got me started on a prescription , and advised a follow up appointment for 12 weeks later to see how the medication had worked. I used a pharmacy that they are affiliated with to order my prescription and it was an huge relief as it arrived to my workplace the very next day so I could start on it immediately. I had my follow up appointment with Dr Ash and she adjusted my prescription as my symptoms had lessened but not disappeared so upped the strength which helped immensely. I am now receiving my prescription through the NHS and am doing really well and have gotten my life back , but I could not have achieved this without Medical Prime who put me on the road to recovery. Yes it is expensive but totally worth it in my opinion. I had no idea about where to start and it is a minefield as there are so many doctors out there who just prescribe medication without really thinking about what is most suitable for YOU. MP really take the time to find out what medication will give you the best results and that is what everyone wants and needs. . Dr Ash was very thorough and I was never made to feel that I was being dramatic about the effect my symptoms were having on me. Medical Prime made a huge difference for me and I will be ever grateful for their help in my menopausal journey.

Mr Jonathan Webb

Orthopaedic Surgeon

5 months ago, in July-2025, Jonathan Webb and his team performed a Total Knee Replacement (known as a TKR) on my left knee. I could not have wished for a better experience and outcome. If anyone reading this post is considering a TKR and is choosing a surgeon I honestly don't think you will find a better option. I'm 65 years old and have had a pretty active and sporty life - but nothing hugely out of the ordinary. A year ago my [old] knee was beginning to give up - I was walking with a limp, stairs were getting difficult and cycling / other activities were getting so difficult that I was doing less and less. My life was being heavily impacted by my knee and it felt like my world was getting smaller and harder. An MRI confirmed that my knee joint was at its end of life - the cartilage was gone and arthritis was active. The NHS, for all the good that it does, was going to be a long wait and I also learned that you, the patient, don't get to choose your surgeon. So I decided to go privately. I met with a few surgeons and made an easy decision to work with Jonathan. He was engaging, caring, deeply experienced and had even had a TKR himself (do read the blog on his website... it's a good representation). Recovering after the operation is quite testing. The knee replacement is a major bit of surgery - it takes quite a long time to recover and there's quite a bit of pain during the first month or two. But if you take the painkillers properly, use the ice packs, elevate your leg and do the physio exercises (which make a big difference to your recovery) then you should come through it with a new knee and, speaking for myself, a new life. So, 5 months on from the operation, I'm doing all the things I did 10+ years ago. I'm back to taking the dog on long remote walks, long cycle rides and doing all the things I thought I'd never do again. Honestly - having the TKR has transformed my life. Most importantly, I believe that Jonathan Webb (and his team) is largely responsible for my hugely positive outcome. I've spoken with lots of people who've had a TKR and the ones who've been treated by Jonathan all seem to have had a better experience and a better outcome. Quite apart from the physical side, meeting and working with Jonathan was also superbly enjoyable and, at times, great fun. He's a great bloke as well as the most highly skilled surgeon (IMHO). I did and would again trust Jonathan with my knee and also, in fact, my life. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Admin efficiency Things didn't get off to a great start when there seemed to be an issue regarding what my insurance would cover, even though I had received two confirmations from the insurer over the phone and one confirmation by email. I felt a bit like a criminal and that I was lying about the treatment being covered. In the end, the insurer had to phone Practice Plus direct to sort it out, because no-one would believe that I was telling the truth. I've never come across this problem before at the Spire or the Nuffield. Usually the admin trail works very smoothly. Cleanliness The carpet in the waiting area is dirty and is covered in tea/coffee stains. There were pubic hairs on the toilet seat in one of the toilets by the waiting area. Not great at all. Waiting Time I am a private patient and I usually use the Spire in Bristol or the Nuffield, which run to time. My appointment for an injection was 30minutes late. Unacceptable. Staff To be fair, some of the staff are lovely. But some of the staff are downright rude. When I went to speak to one of the receptionists after waiting for my appointment for over 20minutes, I simply asked to check that I was on the system. The answer "yes". Oh I said, it's just that I haven't been called yet. Is there a delay? The answer "yes" - and a roll of the eyes to say "yes and your problem with that is??" I have to have another appointment at some point, so let's hope that my next experience is better.

Spire Harpenden Hospital

Whilst time waiting to see Mr Khan was very quick , if I'd arrived any later I wouldn't have completed my check in and, I arrived more than the recommended 15 mins early more staff on reception required plus I don't think self checking in on tablets helps , whilst fine for me others clearly needed help.After seeing Mr Khan I needed follow up appointments for a scan and,blood/urine tests . Having waited at 1 reception for 15 minutes area to make an appointment for the tests to be brusquely told to go and make my scan appointment as it "Would save time" .When I'm 2 away from the desk don't think it was about saving my time.Then wait at the radiology department reception for another 15 minutes as only 1 person on reception, told they'll need to check with the radiologist and, would call me today as yet they haven't. Return to main outpatient reception to book tests and, amazingly I've now got 6 people in front of me ...finally get to the desk to be told can't do blood test as no one there to do them .Now had there been but because of time wasted there no longer was ? Not impressed by The Spire on this occasion, Mr Khan yes , but everything else no .

Had an appointment for hip injections. I was seen on time. The consultant Mr Howell and radiologists Rachel and Natalie were all amazing. They were welcoming, friendly, professional and warm. They helped me to relax, feel comfortable, assured and confident. I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting many of the staff at St Hugh's and would recommend the hospital to anyone. The people are so genuine, lovely, human, friendly and professional. You are welcomed by the reception staff immediately upon arrival and the experience continues throughout. I appreciate that the staff work in a relatively calm setting, but they make the experience. This is a really well run hospital overseen by the director Ellen and her deputy Sarah. The consultants are of the highest quality. This is an amazing local resource which must be protected. The hospital undertake vital NHS work as well as private work. NHS pressures challenge the continued operation of St Hugh's, which would be a tragedy. Thanks and best wishes to everyone! Xx

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 9 more

I’m grateful to Mr. Tsepov, Vicky, Nadia, and the full medical team for the care I received across my surgeries. From the first consultation to post-op support, I felt looked after in a steady, consistent way. Mr. Tsepov explained the plan clearly, set realistic expectations, and answered my questions without rushing. His calm and confident manner helped me feel safe, especially during moments where I felt anxious. Vicky, the nurse, was outstanding. She was attentive, warm, and reassuring. She noticed what I needed and acted quickly. That kind of care matters when you feel vulnerable. Nadia, Mr. Tsepov’s PA, was organised and responsive. Communication was clear and quick, and the admin side ran smoothly. That reduced stress at a time when I had limited energy. Thank you to everyone involved. I felt respected, listened to, and cared for as a whole person, not a task.

Dr Piyush Jain

Cardiologist

I had a pre operative test at Bushey Spires Hospital and it transpired that I had a heart issue which precluded me from being given a G.A, I was told to see a cardiologist and BUPA gave me the name of Dr Jain He saw me within a couple of days, and I had many tests before being diagnosed with Atriul Fribrilation. He started me on a course of medication immediately His manner was fantastic, he told me everything every step of the way. I was very scared of my future, but he was re assuring and made me feel both safe and secure. I had cardio version, and now out of Heart Failure. I can recommend him 100%. Unreservedly

I went at 11 weeks for a scan and for a NIPT test. The booking process was excellent, the members on the phone were so helpful and considerate. My appointment with Dr Desi was on time and extremely thorough. She was so compassionate, caring and kind throughout the appointment, explaining everything each step of the way and being extremely thorough through the scan and explaining our NIPT options. It’s the best consulting experience I’ve had throughout my pregnancy. Reception staff were extremely helpful too. I would really recommend LPC to any expecting couples. An excellent experience end-to-end

Mr Sanjoy Basu

General Surgeon

Bit offended by dr Basu. Loved the sound of his own voice, kept butting in when I was trying to explain things. Granted I'm overweight but to go straight to pushing weight loss jabs and a gastric sleeve as if I'm not capable of loosing weight and building up my fitness levels on my own (which I've started and as a retired athlete I'm very capable of that commitment and focus) and have to pay for the privilege of his condescending bedside manner. Will go back just to rub his face in it after dropping the weight and then go see another specialist who doesn't see me as a walking paycheck...

Dr. Charlotte Ridout

General Practitioner

The Deben private GP service was thoughtful and reassuring throughout. Treatment was prescribed promptly in anticipation of a potentially serious issue, with careful and attentive follow-up, and an appropriate referral arranged swiftly. The doctor listened closely, showed genuine empathy, and took time to understand how the symptoms were affecting overall wellbeing. There was no sense of being rushed, and everything was explained clearly and calmly. Overall, Deben delivered a supportive, patient-centred experience - calm, kind, and reassuring from start to finish.

Mr Ricardo Peixoto

Ophthalmologist

My waiting time for tests and seeing my Consultant was minimal, especially considering the awful and treacherous snowy road conditions that day. Nursing staff were courteous, professional and friendly as was my Consultant, who even apologised for my waiting time, caused by the snowy/icy weather. My medical information/results were explained clearly to me and any questions were answered fully and satisfactorily. Everyone was respectful of me and my feelings . It was a courteous, friendly and extremely professional experience.

Mr Edward Lee

Ophthalmologist

I received excellent care from my Consultant Eye Surgeon, Mr Edward Lee. From my initial consultation for a cataract removal and subsequent surgery and follow up, I was treated with professionalism, kindness and reassurance. Everything was explained clearly which gave me confidence to have the procedure. Thanks to his care, my vision has improved significantly, and I am extremely grateful and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Lee to anyone seeking expert and compassionate eye care.

Endocare Diagnostics

Gastroenterology

I had to give out personal information in a waiting room with other people. Also I was sat in the waiting room about half an hour having been nil by mouth, there were people eating and drinking. There should be a separate waiting area for patients. It was 2 hrs before I was seen, which is too long when you've been told to be nil by mouth. I had to explain I was autistic to the doctor, who was fine once he understood.

I was referred to Spire through the NHS, and from the outset my experience was extremely positive. The process was smooth and well organised, and the standard of care I received was excellent. All staff were professional, attentive, and supportive throughout, which made the experience reassuring and stress-free. Based on the high level of care and service provided, I would confidently recommend Spire going forward.
