Dr. Gergana Peeva

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

This review is 4 years later than it should be, because I only today came across the scan code to do a review. 4 years or 40 years, I will never forget the magnificent Dr Gergana Peeva who delivered our second and final child for our family. I had a very traumatic experience when I was forced into an elective c section at another hospital with our first child, the choice to have a natural birth was taken from me despite my having no medical issues but because I was an older mum, the Dr strongly advised it and as I didn’t know any better, i made the mistake of listening to the Dr. It took me many years to recover from the traumatic c section when induction failed. So second time around, I chose Homerton Hospital as I read many good things on the Care Commission website. When my waters broke, I made it clear at the hospital I wanted to have a natural birth, the difference it the nurses and Dr’s listened to me this time and this really made all the difference to me both mentally and emotionally. After 2 days and much helpful, caring and understanding dialogue between the Dr’s and myself, I agreed to a c section. But this time it was my decision and it was because I understood natural birth was not progressing which was harmful to the baby. Dr Peeva took me aside and gently explained things and we went through my concerns. The nurse who assisted, I can’t remember her name due to the years that have passed, I think her name was Genesis, was also wonderful in her care towards me. I was open to all staff on my previous traumatic c- section at the other hospital and they were willing to listen and their empathy made my second birth, albeit a c section again as I had not wanted, a much better and happier overall experience. When Dr Peeva held up our baby following delivery and imitated the scene from the lion king, it has etched in my mind and memory with deep fondness for her. I can and will never forget the kindness, professionalism and simply goodness of Dr Peeva, a wonderful and amazing human being regardless of her profession.

Mr Tarek El-Toukhy

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

It is important for me to leave a review here, as these overwhelmingly positive reviews played an instrumental part in us coming to meet Dr Tarek. From the first meeting, it was clear that they were all right: Tarek was by far the most professional and honest, yet warm and caring, doctor we met. We arrived to him after several consultations at private clinics, none of which felt right. A couple of months earlier, we had been denied access to NHS-funded IVF after I was diagnosed with a very low egg reserve just before I turned 40. Tarek didn’t sugar-coat it for us, but he urged us to start straight away, keeping us grounded as to our chances of success in the build-up to the process. Once we started, he was incredibly supportive and always available for questions. He scanned me frequently and kept altering the dosage to ensure the few eggs I had would have the best chance of becoming an embryo, growing increasingly positive, but still realistic, with every milestone we reached during the course of treatment. We managed to get five eggs, a high number for me, and only one of these matured into an embryo. I will never forget the day of the embryo transfer and how touched we were by his sincere wish for this single embryo to become our baby. It was warm and heartfelt in a way I couldn’t have imagined a clinical procedure could be. And against all odds, that one embryo, on the first cycle of a 10%-chance IVF process, turned out to be our beautiful son, who is about to turn three months old. We will be forever grateful to Tarek and the entire staff for this miracle.

Mr Zack Best

Podiatrist

Zack treated my son for deep verrucas caused by swimming, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care we received. The diagnosis and treatment were done in the same appointment, and everything was handled with so much care and professionalism. My son is 9 years old and was understandably nervous, but Zack was fantastic at keeping him calm, confident, and engaged throughout the treatment. He was reassuring, patient, and made the whole experience far less daunting. The treatment itself was quick and very well managed. We went back for a follow-up today and were given the all-clear, along with a top-up treatment to remove any remaining dead skin and ensure nothing was left behind. Zack explained everything clearly to both my son and me, which really empowered us and reassured us that this was the best course of action. Zack was excellent — funny, caring, and professional — exactly what you want, especially when treating a young child. I would highly recommend him without hesitation.

Dr Venkataswamy Mahesh

Gastroenterologist

This doctor (Mahesh) has completely transformed life with chronic constipation. The appointment started with a really thorough, calm discussion of a long history of symptoms, and for the first time everything felt properly listened to and joined up. The examination was focused and not excessive, just what was needed to work out the next steps. The colonoscopy was explained clearly beforehand, carried out gently, and felt very safe throughout, with clear results and what they meant. Afterwards, a newer laxative was recommended alongside very practical dietary changes and pre‑/probiotic advice, all tailored to day‑to‑day routines rather than some leaflets. ​ Since then, bowel habits have improved dramatically, pain and bloating are so much better, and normal life feels possible again. It genuinely feels like someone finally understood the problem and offered a long‑term plan rather than a quick fix, and I have a huge gratitude for the care and expertise given.

Diverse Minds Clinic

Psychiatry

I had a great experience with Dr Cappai at Diverse Minds Clinic. She listened to all my concerns and gave me good advice on therapy and pharmacological treatment. I conducted some research before booking with Diverse Minds Clinic, and I was reassured because the clinic is registered with the CQC (unlike some other popular services in London), and Dr Cappai also works in the NHS as an ADHD specialist. The building in central London, Harley Street, is very elegant, and I felt comfortable during the long assessment (I had a 3-hour ADHD and ASD assessment), and Dr Cappai allowed some breaks and ensured I was at ease. The appointment started on time, and the report was very thorough. I am happy with the service. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

I understand that from here it’s up to me to focus on regular exercise and maintaining a balanced diet, and I’m feeling positive about moving forward. Thank you once again, Mike

Dr Duncan Birth

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr Duncan is a superb obstetrician. We were fortunate to be introduced to him during an open evening at the Portland Hospital, and within minutes of talking to him, I thought that he was the right fit for me during my first pregnancy. My husband and I thoroughly looked forward to each appointment with Dr Duncan during the 9 months of pregnancy; we always felt informed, cared for and safe in his hands. His qualifications and experience speak for themselves, but in addition to that he is a warm and interesting person and we always enjoyed his company, as we did that of Colette, his phenomenal secretary. We are supremely grateful for the experience with Dr Duncan and could not imagine a better one with anyone else.

Essex Private GP

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Diagnostics & Testing, + 2 more

After a mole on my shoulder began to grow, I booked a private consultation with a specialist who had removed others by Crotherapy. He told me that he could only do it after the infection which had caused it to change, had been cured and prescribed a course of antibiotics. The infection increased after several courses of six different antibiotics which were prescribed by my NHS practice were not able to halt its progress. My daughter Annie convinced me to book an appointment at Essex Private GP. I was seen on the same day and the correct antibiotics to target the infection were identified and prescribed at my first visit. There is already a significant improvement, thank you.

Mr Seni Subair

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Seni recently delivered my baby via induction at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes. With his help and expertise, I achieved the vaginal birth I was hoping for. He provided clear and easy to understand risk-based advice both before and during delivery. Seni also has a lovely bedside manner and good sense of humour. I would recommend Seni to anyone, and if like me you have gestational diabetes and are concerned about what this means for delivery options etc - you will be in safe hands with Seni.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

All professionals on all levels, be it administration, psychiatrists, health care professionals etc, have all been extremely empathetic, kind, respectful and efficient. I felt safe and able to trust all members of staff during all interactions I've had. Sometimes organisation wasn't always perfect such as informant questionnaires seemingly getting lost and causing delays and my assessment being double booked requiring a last minute rescheduling, but any problems were dealt with efficiently.

Mr Peter Cooke

Urologist

I’m extremely pleased with the highly professional level of care I received from Mr Cooke and his team. He is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very proactive in his level of service. He was able to efficiently treat me and provide me with future guidance to ensure my peace of mind and continue with good health. I’m very pleased that I found Mr Cooke and I absolutely highly recommend his services. Thank you once again and all the best to you for 2026.

Dr Matthew E Faircloth

Cardiologist

I saw Dr Faircloth this summer because I was anxious about chest sensations and worried about an arrhythmia. I felt I might be wasting his time, but he didn’t make me feel like that at all. Although my tests were normal, he was kind, engaged and genuinely reassuring. He took my concerns seriously, explained everything clearly, and put me completely at ease. I felt listened to and left confident that my heart is healthy. I’m very grateful for his care.

Nuffield Health Derby Hospital

My surgery was carried out sympathetically and I was reassured throughout. I have been delighted with the success of the procedure and my eyesight has been improved beyond what it was. I would like to thank the whole team and in particular Mr Anandan

GenesisCare Chelmsford

I have been very well looked after by a team of really nice people who seem to love their jobs. They create a happy and positive environment which makes treatment just about as pleasant and trouble-free as it can be.

Candover Clinic

General (Internal) Medicine, Physiotherapy, + 19 more

I saw the private GP, Dr Alison Johnstone. She is wonderful. She listens, she cares. Moving to her from my NHS GP eighteen months ago, as a self-funding patient, was the best thing I ever did for my medical needs.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Medical Weight Loss, Pharmacy

It was so easy to get the help that I needed from SImply Meds. To know that I can buy what I have a genuine medical need for, without waiting weeks for a dental appointment; it's magical.
