Mr Tahir Mahmud

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I underwent a unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in November 2025 performed by Mr Mahmud, and I am extremely pleased with both the surgical outcome and the overall care I received. From the initial consultation, Mr Mahmud was clear, measured, and reassuring. He explained why a UKR was appropriate in my case, whilst also providing me with alternative options. He set realistic expectations about recovery, which have proven to be very accurate. I felt well informed and confident proceeding with surgery. My recovery has progressed exactly as advised and whilst there has been some stiffness and swelling I have felt improvements day by day. One of the most noticeable improvements for me was how smooth the knee felt when bending — the grinding and grating sensation I experienced pre-operatively has now gone completely. I have received an additional benefit in significantly reduced hip pain due to the realigned knee joint, this was noticable from early in my post op recovery period and has maintained throughout. I have now been discharged from physiotherapy with no restrictions, clear guidance to self-manage progression, and confidence in the strength and stability of the implant. That reassurance has been invaluable as I’ve returned to exercise and everyday activity. Overall, the care was professional, calm, and expertly delivered. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with my knee at 10 weeks post op. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Mahmud to anyone considering a partial knee replacement.

Attended for a blood test. I’ve had multiple bad experiences with blood tests over the years. This is primarily because I have very small and narrow veins which disappear with the touch of a needle..☹️ I find the whole experience extremely painful and distressing … I explained all of this to Debbie, the wonderful and kind nurse who attended me. She was brilliant! Totally put me at ease and was incredibly supportive and gentle. I was definitely a challenge for her as my veins were completely uncooperative per usual. But she took her time and used the smallest needle possible to minimise any discomfort. She succeeded in the end and managed to get enough blood for a full blood count!! Miraculous! I am so very grateful to Debbie for turning a potentially very upsetting and negative experience into a positive outcome. She has helped me to regain a little more confidence in having my blood taken again. Thank you Debbie! 😊

I recently completed a course of CBT sessions with Dr Sharon Pettit, focusing on managing my anxiety, worry, and rumination. When I first began, I struggled significantly with social interactions, often feeling socially awkward and fixating on past conversations. My mind would race with worries about things entirely beyond my control, pushing my anxiety levels to an all-time high. It felt like I was in a constant state of fight or flight, from the moment I woke up until I went to bed, leaving me completely drained. Now, almost six months later, I've gained valuable tools to help manage my thoughts and emotions. While I wouldn’t say I’m completely cured, I feel about 75% better and am now enjoying a much happier life. I've decided to take a break from CBT for the time being, but I'm committed to returning if I notice my anxiety levels rising again.

Mr Ahmed Ibrahim

Neurosurgeon

My most recent visit was a post-surgery appointment. The purpose was to assess my progress and to provide advice and , in my case, a lot of reassurance that I will make a full recovery. Everything went well. Mr. Ibrahim was very factual and reassuring. I left the appointment feeling less stressed, confident that I will return to my being very active. My overall experience under Mr.Ibrahim's care has been positively memorable. He is very professional, calm, friendly and knowledgable. His support team is excellent! Amira was my contact. She was friendly, professional and pretty much perfect. She moved heaven and earth to ensure everything was in place pre and post - surgery. Dealing with Mr. Ibrahim and Amira has been an absolute pleasure.

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

Moreno Osteopathy

Osteopathy

I visited twice due to a stiffness in my neck. Rey was exceptionally friendly from the start and I felt I was listened to and he understood the issues I had been experiencing. I was very happy with the treatment feeling a notable difference minutes after the first session. They really do give good customer service and will not try to add extra, unnecessary sessions to get more money - my treatment lasted two sessions, and I was told to listen to my body and get back in contact if and when I need to. I will definitely be going back, even if it’s just for a quick readjustment.

Mr Robin Rees

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Rees explained the problem. He gave a very clear explanation of the options available go me. He also offered advice on what he felt was less like to be suitable for me. The appointment for surgery came through quickly. On the day of the surgery, the procedure went well. I went home with clear instructions and what to do if there were any problems. The post op appointment showed that the toes had fused and everything had gone well.. in summary, Mr Rees has been very professional, very kind and very efficient from start to finish. I would highly recommend him.

Mr Vijay Ramani

Urologist

I really struggle to put into words what I would like to say.words are not enough. Mr Ramani is an absolutely outstanding surgeon who has quite literally saved my life. His skill, compassion, and calm reassurance gave myself and my wife utter confidence at every stage. I’ll always be grateful for the exceptional care I have received and am eternally thankful that he chose medicine and surgery for his career all those years ago. I have had no problems with my recovery and can only praise him and his team “to the rafters.”Eternally grateful. Thankyou

Mr James Langdon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I read the reviews about Mr Langdon before I saw him and a couple said his manner wasn’t great. I feel it’s good to check these things as we have the information available. I felt he was friendly and explained everything carefully. I took my husband as I was on painkillers and my mind isn’t as sharp as I’d like. He listened more carefully and agreed with me. I would highly recommend him, he doesn’t waste any time. He gives you the relevant facts, gives you the options and you feel that you can make an informed decision.

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I chose galaxy lenses for my cataract surgery and am now very happy with the results. No need whatsoever for any glasses. The staff were all very kind and supportive, along with Mr Hove the surgeon who was quick and efficient with the procedure. I would recommend anyone who is thinking of this procedure to not be anxious, it is quick and painless and though your vision is a little blurry after it doesn't take long to resolve. Thanks again to Mr Hove and all the staff at Freedom Vision Chelmsford.

Dr Dennis Barnes

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I was an NHS patient of Dr Barnes approximately ten years ago. My experience then and now has not changed. He does not just listen; he hears what you are saying and talks to you as an equal. He has a caring disposition. Dr Barnes asks questions that go beyond the presenting issues. I know he will do his best to find a solution to alleviate my symptoms. I have recommended Dr Barnes to others in the past and would have no hesitation in recommending him in his current role.

Dr Imran Ansari

Cardiologist

I have been under the supervision of Dr Ansari over the past month and cannot recommend him highly enough. He put me at ease every step of the way and always felt like he had time for me and to go threw things in thorough detail and made sure I understood everything. If I was to have any heart issues in the future he would be the only person I would want to see . I sincerely thank him for all his help .

We recently referred a client with an acquired brain injury who was displaying episodes of anger incorporating challenging behaviour. Dr Rick Adams was easy to talk to and he quickly and accurately grasped the situation and recommended suitable treatment. His support team, in arranging appointments and correspondence was excellent. I cannot speak highly enough of the support we have been given.

Mr Nawar Abdulsattar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Abdulsattar in relation to my hip replacement surgery. From the very first moment he inspired confidence and put me at ease. He was calm and relaxed in his manner, which really helped. His explanations were very clear and easy to understand, and I never felt rushed at any point. I came away feeling reassured and confident in both the surgery and the care I was receiving.

Moorgate Andrology

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Urology

The booking process was good. David gave me an excellent first impression. He, with Dr. Fragkoulis, and the rest of the team - communicated professionally ensuring they obtained - and all the same - provided the right information to help me with. The staff was kind and reassuring pre-op, and the post-op guidelines were quite straightforward. I would recommend this clinic.

Nuffield Health Derby Hospital

General Surgery, Oncology

I would recommend nuffield health derby & Mr. Cockshott as a knee/hip surgeon ( i know he does those, guess other operations as well) All the staff I encountered where friendly & helpful. From surgeon & colleagues to pre op to all ward staff to rehab. I was sick and fainted the first night and all the ward staff where very attentive, kind & understanding.
