Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I have been very happy with my overall experience at Vision Scotland Edinburgh. The staff were both friendly and professional. I was well informed regarding my choices and the procedure. I have been thrilled with the result of the cataract surgery. I was given an appointment very soon after the referral. I would however like to let you know how I felt the experience on the day of the operation could have been improved. Firstly I was not sent the Post Op information which would have been most helpful to read before the procedure. Secondly I got very cold in theatre and was given a blanket but it did take me ages to warm up. It would have been better to have been given a blanket before the procedure started. There is a lot of cold water being used which does add to the chill. Thirdly I was not told to bring sunglasses for the journey home or to bring analogies both of which I would very much appreciated as I lived over a hour away. On the journey home I became extremely uncomfortable. Finally the roof of my mouth and tongue got a little burnt I think by the coffee as they must have been a little bit anaesthetised still when I had the coffee. The coffee however i have to say was absolutely welcome and the best thing along with the toasted teacake. I found it very reassuring to have a telephone number to call which I did use. I also very much appreciate the phone call from the nurse a couple of days post op. I hope you find the above comments of use. I do not wish to criticise as overall it was an extremely good experience and I would and have already recommended Vision Scotland. ( I did tell my neighbour to ask for a blanket!)

Mr Aftab Siddiqui

Plastic Surgeon

I had a breast reduction with Dr. Siddiqui, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had been considering the surgery for a long time, I was originally a size 34 GG (I am now a DD) so I booked a consultation with him. From the very first meeting, he took the time to talk everything through, showed me plenty of photos, and answered all of my questions with reassurance and patience. I never felt rushed and was given as much time as I needed. At my follow-up consultations, he continued to support me and address any additional questions or concerns I had. On the day of my surgery, I was very anxious as this was my first operation, but he was incredibly kind and reassuring, which helped me feel much more at ease right up until my discharge the following day. After surgery, I was given a nurse’s phone number that I could contact whenever I needed, whether for reassurance or any post-operative questions. That level of aftercare made a huge difference to me. Now, I feel so much more confident in my body and more comfortable doing even the simplest daily tasks. Nearly six months on, I am still so impressed with my results — Dr. Siddiqui did an amazing job. I truly couldn’t recommend him enough.

Ms Daniela Stan

Sonographer

I have visited Daniela at Sonoworld on many occasions since 2020 for various reasons / body areas to be scanned. Sometimes for routine checking and at other times, via doctor recommendation. Daniela is always very thorough, kind and her room is spotlessly clean. She has always made me feel at ease when explaining her findings. She clearly has many many years of experience and knowledge. She always goes above and beyond and has followed up with me via email and phone call, especially when she could tell that I was anxious. I have been to other Ultrasound clinics in Central London and I have always found that they are more expensive (for no better service) and more importantly, they always try to upsell more of their services, not something that I believe is appropriate when it comes to health. Daniela has seen myself and friends of mine at short notice, and I will always continue to recommend Daniela and Sonoworld to anyone who requires an ultrasound.

Miss Sarah Tang

General Surgeon

I cannot recommend Dr Sarah Tang highly enough. From my very first consultation through to surgery and aftercare, she was absolutely fantastic, caring, professional, and genuinely empathetic throughout the entire process. Dr Tang immediately put me at ease. She took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and answer all of my questions, which made me feel completely safe and confident in her hands. She is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly exceptional at what she does. I felt supported every step of the way, and that reassurance meant everything to me. Although it is still early days in my recovery, I already feel so happy with my decision. This surgery has truly changed my life for the better, and I couldn’t be more grateful that Dr Tang was my surgeon. I would 100% recommend Dr Sarah Tang to anyone considering surgery, choosing her was the best decision I could have made.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

1. We were wrong footed by the entrance barrier, but luckily another patient was close to the entrance button. 2. Parking was tight - we had to park in the radiology section, but hoped that would be ok. 3. The surgery was wonderfully light and airy and spatially arranged in such a way that each patient could have space and privacy. 4. The staff i have spoken to on the phone were immensely welcoming and efficient, as were the ladies on the desk on arrival 5. The loos were wonderfully clean and airy. 6. Dr. Johnstone was most welcoming and sympathetic. I can't make the next step work, which is to review Dr. J. On only one visit, my experience was very positive. She was clearly listening to what i was saying, and made a very quick referral, for which I am very grateful.

Newmedica Leicester

Ophthalmology

From the moment I arrived at reception until I left at the end of my assessment I was treated really well. Reception staff were really friendly and respectful and explained the paperwork to be completed and assured me that the wait would not be too long. I was called within 5 minutes by the first nurse who carried out all the necessary basic checks explaining everything really clearly. She then sent me back to the waiting area until the doctors were ready to do the final assessment again I only waited about 5 minutes before I was called to the examination room. The doctor explained really clearly what all the tests were for and what would happen when the procedure was to be done. A very pleasant experience from start to finish

Mr Samer Mahmoud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have undergone hip revision surgery under the care of Mr Mahmoud . The treatment i have received to me was outstanding from him and his team. His manor was of a caring and friendly nature explaining my situation and offering choices to have the surgery or to keep observing the hip. Right from the day of admission to hospital i was reassured by all people involved as i a very bad experience the first time round. I wish to give a special mention to the anaesthetist and his team because this was something i really anxious about again reassuring me all the way i can't thank them enough as a result of their kindness and support i was completely relaxed So once again a very big thank you to everyone involved in my treatment.

Dr Adam Friedmann

Dermatologist

We’re very grateful to Dr Friedmann for treating our older child’s severe eczema. Symptoms started at around 4 months old, but the initial treatments we received elsewhere were ineffective and the condition became severe. It took a long time to control until we eventually saw Dr Friedman. His assessment was clear, the plan was practical, and—most importantly—it worked. After a long, stressful period, our child’s eczema finally came under control. It’s very clear that Dr Friedmann’s primary goal is effective treatment and real outcomes, not just short-term symptom relief. We fully trust his clinical judgement, skills, and practice, and we highly recommend him.

He has a lovely manner — always clear, kind, and considerate — and takes the time to listen, answer questions, and put me completely at ease. Each appointment ends with a clear and well-thought-out management plan, which gives me real confidence between reviews. Dr Ashish is an excellent consultant and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him. Thank you.

Mr Christopher Buckle

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I needed a Total Hip Replacement. East Sussex gave me the option of choosing Sussex Premier health. I found Mr Buckle to actively listen to me, he was clear about the operation and there were no surprises. My post op appointment was great; clear and straightforward. I know what is and is not possible going forward. Mr Buckle should give what I guess might be called “bedside manner” coaching to some of his contemporaries and others coming up the “medical ladder” so to speak.

The Pregnancy Clinic

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Visiting The Pregnancy Clinic has been an amazing experience for both of us. The team is professional, friendly, and genuinely caring, which made my partner feel comfortable and supported throughout the pregnancy. Professor Ranjit Akolekar takes the time to explain everything clearly and answer all our questions. The clinic is modern, clean, and welcoming. I highly recommend The Pregnancy Clinic to any couple looking for excellent care during this special journey

Mr Edward Massa

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr Massa by another consultant who felt that my surgery was too complex for him, due to a pre-existing medical condition. Mr Massa was completely confident that he could provide the surgery I needed, and explained the extra measures he would take in theatre. Thanks to his expertise I feel as though I have my been given my life back again. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
