The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I was referred to the Horder Centre for hip surgery as an NHS patient and the difference between that experience and my experiences in NHS hospitals couldn't have been more different. As it turned out, I also had two brief stays in an NHS hospital at around the same time, and experiencing a busy trauma ward in the Royal Victoria hospital in Brighton was pretty terrible. Unusually, I ended up having to have two operations in Crowborough on the same hip, so I was there for several days in all, and though no one really wants to be in hospital they do make every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You get a single room with a TV (Freeview) and your own en-suite bathroom and fresh towels are brought every day. For a start, the staffing levels were brilliant. Someone was always on hand if I needed pain relief or anything else for that mattter. For every staff shiftI was allocated a care worker and a nurse, all of whom were absolutely lovely. They will help you with anything including a bed-wash or shower and if you have any questions they can't answer themselves they will find someone who can. I was regularly offered pain medication and if I felt I needed some in between rounds I had only to ring the bell beside my bed and I was usually able to have it. The food is good and plentiful and the menu choices provide plenty of variety. The staff who bring round the food as well as a trolley offering hot drinks or fruit juice are cheerful and friendly as well as punctual. Even the housekeeping staff were lovely. Although I'm sure all the staff were busy (for example, the care assistants take care of 6 patients on each shift), no one ever seemed to be under too much pressure and they always had time for a chat. They will arrange transport two and from the hospital if you need it, whether in an ambulance or by car, and even the drivers love working there. Some of the staff I met have worked there for many years, which speaks for itself. If I were referred to the Horder Centre rather than an NHS hospital or further surgery at any point I would feel confident that I would be well taken care of.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

I had to visit the Vermilion Endodontic Team after my dentist discovered that I needed specialist root canal treatment on not one, but two teeth. My initial reaction was sheer panic, especially since I'm not the biggest fan of going to the dentist. However, my overall experience at Vermilion was nothing short of amazing – so much so that I actually began looking forward to my visits! David Treagus and Megan were incredibly welcoming, and I could tell David immediately recognized the fear on my face. Both of them were quick to put me at ease. During my initial appointment, David took the time to walk me through the entire process. He explained exactly what he was going to do, the expected outcomes, and even the potential risks involved. When it came to my first root canal session, I was absolutely terrified – to say I was "bricking it" would be an understatement. However, David reassured me that we would go at a pace I was comfortable with, and that if I needed a break at any point, I just had to give him a wave. Root canal treatment is a lengthy process, so I had several two-hour appointments over the course of about 12 weeks. By my second appointment, because the experience had been so pleasant, I was, for the first time in my life, actually looking forward to going to the dentist. Fast forward to the end of my 12 weeks, and my teeth are looking and feeling great again! I can't thank David and Megan enough for the incredible work they did. I'm now able to smile again without any pain or discomfort. While I understand that visiting a specialist comes at a cost, I can honestly say I am so glad I chose Vermilion. The entire team, from the front of house to the specialists, is amazing and truly understanding. No matter what, they will make you feel calm, cared for, and well looked after.

We feel incredibly lucky to have been under the care of Dr. Stelios Myriknas throughout my wife’s pregnancy. From the very first consultation, Dr. Myriknas demonstrated not only exceptional clinical knowledge and attention to detail but also genuine care, empathy, and humanity.

The Royal Free London Private Patients Unit

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 18 more

Arriving at the Lyndhurst Rooms for a Blood test and a CT scan in the hospital. Reception were polite quick and efficient. The Phlebotomist was professional and conducted the tests well. Absolutely fine. However, the CT scan is conducted by the hospital radiology department. Waiting times were extended at the radiology reception(NHS) and in the department(NHS) before the scan. The staff were as expected very good and professional, no issue there, but the waiting time over and above the booked time was between 45minutes to one hour overdue. I have had similar scans in different facities previousy and this does not compare with the London Clinic which is fully private and the same private insurance payer is paying for a private service. the RFH Private Patients could do a lot better.

Fitzrovia Hospital

Cardiology, Gastroenterology, + 4 more

My whole patient experience was above and beyond. The staff were professional and showed compassion and love for their job. I’d like to say a special thank you to the nurse, Kate. From the moment she walked into her shift she was there for me. She couldn’t do enough and helped me get through my nerves. Please make sure she sees this review and I hope the manager at Fitzrovia is very proud of the staff there. Mr Fazel was an amazing surgeon who I wish I met 10yrs ago. He is calm, methodical and modest, I would certainly return to him if I want more procedures. The anaesthetist was confident and supplied me with beautiful drugs-what more can a girl want. Thank you to you all!

Priory Eden House

Its a really good experience, I'm really enjoying the meditation sessions. Understanding trauma and cravings and learning tools have helped me understand more about my addiction and opening up and sharing with the therapy team has really improved my self worth and I have felt really empowered. This has been the perfect place for me. The VR is really enjoyable, its very realistic and I was put in the perfect scenario to help me understand my addiction. The therapy team are great and the support workers have been really really good which has made a really daunting experience a much easier one.

Mr Oliver Wiseman

Urologist

The facilities and staff at Bourne hall were exceptional and relaxed however still professional ,my initial consultation with Dr Wiseman at Nufield was conducted in the same manner and Dr wiseman was very personal informative and emphatic. The Anthetics team worked very well and even though there was a problem with my cannula they talked me through relaxing me and and working at the same time knowing they were under time pressure. The reception and nursing staff were great a good mix of professional attitude and personal care without being over the top.

Miss Laura Harman

Physiotherapist

Laura is great, super friendly and helpful. I've got notable improvements from her approach of addressing deeper core weaknesses which is exactly what I was hoping for. She's very professional and asks what I'm hoping to get from the session to ensure it's valuable. She offers a mix of exercises to do at home and hands on work in the session. She also listened and took on-board when I said I was finding the list of exercises was taking too long, she worked hard to minimise this into an effective and manageable routine

Dr Ankur Gulati

Cardiologist

My whole experience as a patient under Dr Gulati was perfect in every way. He was the consummate professional, showing respect but at the same time behaving in a friendly manner. He took time to explain all aspects, to ask for questions and gave reassurance. There was a slight complication to do with my weak pulse for access to the artery but he overcame it meaning a better outcome for me. He wasted no time in referring me onwards for further treatment. I could not recommend this doctor highly enough.

Dr David Treagus

Dentist

David Treagus and Megan were incredibly welcoming, and I could tell David immediately recognised the fear on my face. Both of them were quick to put me at ease. During my initial appointment, David took the time to walk me through the entire process. He explained exactly what he was going to do, the expected outcomes, and even the potential risks involved. He also gave me the chance to see the before and after pictures of me teeth which I thought we a really nice touch.

Mr Vivek Sivarajan

Plastic Surgeon

A fantastic experience from start to finish! I've had life changing results that I owe to the skill from Vivek. I would highly recommend for TT and lipo 360. I also had an amazing anaesthetist that made me feel so at ease and made me feel calm and relaxed when I felt very anxious about day case sedation. If I required more surgery in the future I would not hesitate to return to Elanic. Thanks again for changing my life!

Dr Joe Ramsay

Psychiatrist

My time with Joe was brief, but he helped me understand my overaching social dysfunction. Childhood trauma left me with an overactive aggression response that has negatively affected every social interaction I've had since the trauma. Joe helped me realise this, and referred me to get the help I needed. Joe's help has proven to be life changing. I highley recommend Dr Ramsay.

Reflex 18 - Colchester

I was well looked after at reception, my details were taken quickly and efficiently and Kate was friendly and made me feel comfortable. Tom looked after me well, explained my condition and gave me exercises to do. It should be explained that I am currently in a show, and had a further 8 performances to complete and needed to be on stage. Tom made it possible!

Nuffield Health Bournemouth Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Cardiology, + 8 more

I had a very good experience with Nuffield Health Bournemouth. My cardiologist, Dr Sujata Khambekar, was excellent. She was very friendly and patient and listened attentively when I explained my condition. She very quickly arranged for me to have a heart MRI and stress echocardiogram. Her PA, Kim, also kept me informed about appointments, results etc.

Miss Parveen Abedin

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I feel really positive about my experience - everything was clearly explained in a calm, confident manner. On the day of my surgery I felt total confidence in Dr Abedin and I have recovered really well. I would highly recommend Dr Abedin as she had empathy and listened to my concerns and helped me through a surgery which felt quite daunting at the start.

The hospital has a very comfortable and peaceful waiting area, and every member of the medical staff is friendly and patient. The hospital lobby is clean and beautifully designed, with a pleasant, gentle fragrance in the air. I am very satisfied with the environment of this hospital and would highly recommend it to my family and friends.
