Overall, Spire Elland was great and I would happily return should I require any further procedures in the future. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and everything is very clean. I think the main thing letting the hospital down is patient communication. All appointments and comms are recorded and delivered via an app. If you don't want to or aren't able to download the app (like me), you do end up being left a little in the dark about things. For example, I had been given a surgery date fairly soon after my initial consultation, which was great, however I hadn't been informed that there would be multiple pre-operative assessment appointments to attend - all of which were on-site at Spire Elland, which is around an hour's drive for us. On one occasion, I had to make last-minute arrangements to move clients around as I'd been unaware of an upcoming appointment - I'd received no email, no text, no phone call, no letter. I just so happened to log in to my online portal and find the appointment date there. I moved clients around so I could attend, and just a couple of days before my appointment received a text message to say the date had changed, with no explanation provided. I called to try and find out why this might be, but was met with a dismissive reply of, "We just had to move it". All of the documents outlining the process for my surgery and the prep I should do beforehand were provided online, and the online portal isn't the simplest to navigate, so accessing them wasn't as easy as it could have been. When I was admitted for my day surgery, the staff were very welcoming and friendly, although I did find that I received a blunt reply whenever I asked a question about anything. This was my first ever surgery and my first time being put under general anaesthetic, so naturally I was quite nervous. Some of the members of staff were very helpful and supportive, but others seemed to have little patience, which wasn't ideal and only served to make me more anxious. When I came to after the surgery, I had been expecting to have a bit of a handover with someone so I could at least find out how it had gone and what they had/hadn't found. Unfortunately, Mr Gan was occupied in another surgery, and so I was discharged before having the chance to speak to him. I asked the nurses for some clarification - any brief notes or insights they might be able to give to put my mind at ease a bit until I could speak with Mr Gan - but this was met with quite curt replies. I was told no one could read Mr Gan's handwriting so no one could tell me any information, which at the time was quite frustrating as I'd been dealing with the pain for so long and had viewed the laparoscopy as the light at the end of the tunnel. It was disheartening to leave the hospital without any real clarification of the issue. Now having had my final follow-up with Mr Gan, I can say with confidence that all of my questions have been answered, and I feel validated and supported as a patient. However, I can't help but feel that had the communication from the hospital team been a little better throughout the process, it wouldn't have been so frustrating to wake up after the surgery and find that no one could tell me how it had gone.

I cannot speak highly enough of Mr Paul Tierney and the care I received during my recent visit to Spire Hospital Bristol. From the very first consultation, Mr Tierney was the consummate professional — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely compassionate. During what was a challenging and uncertain time, he looked after my overall wellbeing exceptionally well, not just addressing the clinical issues but also ensuring I felt informed, reassured, and supported throughout my recovery. His communication was clear, thorough, and easy to understand at every stage, which made a huge difference to my confidence and peace of mind. I always felt listened to, never rushed, and completely confident that I was in expert hands. I am extremely grateful for the care, professionalism, and humanity shown, and I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Tierney to anyone seeking outstanding medical care

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!

Dr Craig Mowat

Gastroenterologist

Dr Mowat listened to my concerns and explained small changes to help relieve my symptoms meantime (which worked pretty quickly). My upper endoscopy was performed only a few weeks later- again all was explained well and results given straight away along with any instructions going forward. Biopsy results were returned within two weeks and Dr Mowat called me to discuss. He has a great manner and put me at ease which helped lessen my worries. He explained exactly what was to happen during the procedure and made sure I understood the results. All the staff involved were very professional and caring. Reception staff also, being very nice and professional, help make this clinic a pleasant place in which to have diagnostic procedures.

Once Again Dr Chiraush Patel was outstandingly professional and kind. I was fortunate enough to get an appointment within an hour of calling. It cannot be overestimated how important it is to patients to have a well trained Doctor with exemplary bedside manner to help the patient to recovery. This is true of all the other GPs at One Stop, but I am lucky enough to see Dr Patel mostly. My standards are very high but Dr Patel exceeds them by miles every time I visit (I only visit sparingly). This is medicine at its very best and reminds me of when GPs were true family Dotors back before fundholding. I am fortunate indeed to have such excellent GPs. Thank you Dr Patel and OSD!

Pretty straightforward experience overall. The receptionist on the first floor (the Somali lady wearing a hijab) was extremely kind and helpful. My phone was about to die and I asked if there was any chance of a charger- she went out of her way to help me, which I really appreciated. It’s the small things like that which leave a lasting impression, and that’s exactly why I wanted to leave this review. The only small suggestion I’d make is having oat milk available at the coffee machine for those who don’t have dairy, it would be a thoughtful and considerate touch.

Dear Natasha, Thank you for your brilliant service, as always. I always feel so relieved after our sessions. I used to be unsure about physiotherapy and had tried several physiotherapists before, but you have completely changed my opinion. When my doctor referred me to you, he was confident that I would be satisfied—and he was absolutely right. I will now be his mirror copy in recommending you to others. Thank you so much for helping me regain my strength and confidence. I am truly grateful for your support and encouragement.

I honestly couldn't thank Daniela enough! She has done my scans for many years now and has always been clear, transparent and informative. I am usually an anxious person and she has always made the process easy and smooth. I accidentally booked another place for a scan a few years ago and the experience I received traumatised me until I went back to Daniela. I couldn't recommend her enough and genuinely trust her with all my scans. Daniela is great at her job, is honest and provides a very high level of service. 5 stars as always.

I would like to say how impressed I have been with treatment I received from Zack. He has a professional, friendly manner and clearly wants to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients. He ensured that I understood every step of my treatment. I did not feel at all rushed during my appointments as Zack gave me time to ask questions and he responded to these in detail. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Dr Nazar Sharaf

Neurologist

My appointment started on time, so there was no long wait in the waiting room, which I really appreciated. I felt reassured by the clear and thoughtful feedback I received from Dr Sharaf, and he took the time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand. I left the appointment feeling confident and trusting that all the necessary exploratory tests have been thoroughly carried out in relation to my condition.

Mr Rakesh Choudhary

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Before I had my knee replacement, I could not exercise, could not sleep properly and was in constant pain. I got quite depressed about it. Since I have the op I resumed exercise at seven weeks. Since then I have been walking every day. My knee is now brilliant, no pain at night so I am slleping

Mr Kumar Reddy

This follow up appointment was to assess my recovery from hip replacement surgery. Mr Reddy took me through some questions and reviewed my before and after x-rays. I no longer suffer any pain and I am able to walk without crutches, so overall a very satisfactory outcome..

Dr Yee Mah

Neurologist

Dr Mah was very attentive and allowed me to tell him exactly what my problem was. After several questions he then proceeded to examine me. Dr Mah was very clear in his diagnosis and explained very clearly exactly what my problem was. I can highly recommend Dr Mah.

Ms Stacey Strong

Ophthalmologist

Ms Strong is excellent. She is very reassuring, listens attentively and explains quite complex things in simple language. She has excellent patient skills and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any ophthalmology consultation or surgery.

Mr Joseph Yazbek

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Yazbek was always kind and understanding and quick to address my questions and worries. He gave me clear information throughout the process and did a great job with my surgical procedure as I had no problems and recovered very quickly.

Miss Seema Prasad

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a consultation with Miss Prasad after an ankle break and complications which were getting worse - I was unable to walk at that point. I am positive that her treatment and actions are the reason I am walking again.
