Mr James Raymond Oliphant

General Surgeon

I recently underwent J-pouch surgery performed by Mr Oliphant as part of the reversal process following emergency surgery a year ago, which resulted in an ileostomy due to ulcerative colitis. From my initial consultation through to post-operative care, Mr Oliphant was professional, compassionate, and reassuring. He took the time to explain the procedure clearly and thoroughly, ensuring I fully understood each stage of the process. He also checked in with me regularly both before and after surgery, which greatly reassured me and made me feel well supported throughout my care. The surgery itself was extremely successful, and my recovery was smooth with no complications. I was discharged promptly and felt confident managing my recovery due to the excellent care and guidance provided. I have one further procedure remaining to complete the reversal process, and I would be very pleased to return to Mr Oliphant and his team for this final stage. I am extremely grateful for the high standard of care I received.

Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I had cataract surgery on both eyes on 4th December 2025 and l was discharged today, 12th January 2026. I'm so pleased to say l don't need to wear glasses or contact lenses any more. From start to finish, my experience at Freedom Vision Chelmsford was exceptionally good - and my end result is superb vision. - more than l could ever have hoped for. Colours are radiant and bright, and probably the biggest bonus for me is feeling so much more confident driving at night. After undergoing rigorous tests and scans , the actual procedure is very quick and painless. All the staff, without question were delightfully kind people and I'd like to thank them all individually, if only l knew their names. But in particular, l'd like to thank Nicola who guided me patiently and expertly throughout the whole procedure, and a massive thank you to Mr Hove , my surgeon, for being such a genius. If you are contemplating cataract surgery, l urge you to go for it - don't be scared - you won't regret it!

My experience with Quen was exemplary - at the time of first meeting him, my humerus had been fractured for 2-weeks & I was in pain, so he very speedily made himself available for a call to discuss the procedure, and once this had been done, booked me in for surgery the following week. On the morning of the procedure, he once again came to see me to discuss the procedure and let me ask any questions I had, which really reassured me. He then came to see me the morning post the op too, to discuss next steps. Ever since the operation, my arm has steadily been on the mend and this is no doubt down to the great care that Quen & the team have showed throughout. I've also seen Quen for two follow-up X-Rays where he has discussed the progress with me, and with this, I've been able to become more competent & confident in carrying out my day-to-day. I couldn't recommend Quen enough - not only has he been brilliant throughout but he's also a thoroughly lovely man.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I went privately for a hip replacement. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. I was met in reception by a lovely man who took my bag for me an led me to my room. I was admitted by staff who each came to introduce themselves and explain what they would be doing. The room was lovely with a view onto the woodland just outside where a herd of small deer ran past one morning. The food was excellent and the staff were plentiful and friendly. If I had not been there for surgery, I would still have been happy to stay in that room! The surgery was fine and the aftercare was very efficiently handled by all concerned. When I did need to press my buzzer for attention, someone responded promptly and fetched the relevant staff members to help me. I felt safe and well cared for. It was the first time I have had surgery and I was apprehensive but the staff were all calm and reassuring.

Mr Andrew Pieri

Breast Surgeon

Dr Pieri is a fantastic surgeon. I had breast reduction surgery 2 year ago; my results are life changing, he done such an amazing job. I have recently had further surgery under local anaesthetic to remove a new breast lump in January 2026 at The Beverley Hospital by Dr Pieri, who again has done an amazing job. Dr Pieri and his team at The Beverley Hospital are outstanding, they are all so friendly, professional and made me feel so at ease for my surgery. I was looked after by Helen, Tracy and Lydia who were absolute angels. They’re also great when needing to call for any worries or queries, happy to go above and beyond for any help and support. The new Beverley Hospital is beautiful inside also, I felt like I was in a spa not a hospital. I could not recommend Dr Pieri and his team enough to anyone wanting to undergo any plastic surgery!

᠎ Clemmie Oliver

Nutritionist

Clemmie is utterly fantastic and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and living with IBD and, in particular, a J Pouch. Clemmie completely understands the challenges facing those with IBD and J pouches and her tailored advice and guidance has had an unbelievably positive impact on my diet and gut issues. I felt improvements almost instantly after starting to implement Clemmie’s advice. I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Clemmie and can’t recommend her enough to anyone needing support with nutrition and diet and particularly those requiring support to navigate their nutrition with IBD. Thank you so much Clemmie.

Dr Scott Gall

Cardiologist

I was diagnosed suddenly with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Dr Gall was thorough and highly professional in this condition. He gave me all the options which allowed me to make a clear and informed decision about my next steps. It can be a very challenging time, and Dr Gall alleviated my concerns. I opted for the ablation treatment option which was done within 6 weeks of starting this new journey! I knew that I was in very safe hands, and this was indeed true having now had the procedure done at Spire in Manchester. I would highly recommend Dr Gall for anyone considering medical treatment for AF.

Dr Punit Ramrakha

Cardiologist

It is a great privilege to remain under the care of Dr Ramrakha, one of the leading cardiologists not only in this country but, quite easily, in the world. Beyond his exceptional clinical and medical expertise, his ability to inspire confidence and reassurance in his patients is truly remarkable. In simple terms, he has helped me find the confidence to live fully and flourish, without being burdened by concern over my cardiac history. I am and will always remain deeply grateful to him. Thank you so much, Dr Ramrakha.

Mr Ravi Ray

It was lovely to meet Dr Ravi Ray on 15.02.2025 for my follow up appointment at the fracture clinic, Dr Ravi did brilliant surgery on my right humorous spiral fracture thanks to him my arm is on the mend with everything working normal i just need to strengthen my muscle more in that area as still weak but gradually getting there. The work he did on my arm was total perfection right down to the very neat and tidy scar, I can't thank him enough such a lovely man.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

All I can say is I’m so happy having both my cataract operations with Newmedia. Nick and the team are fantastic. They all have the time and patients to answer all my questions prior to the op, during and after and I’m so happy with the results. At 54 years old and now I don’t require contact lenses anymore, this is life changing for me, so thank you all very much, I can’t express how much difference this has made. Kind regards Steve

Mr Peter Driscoll

General Surgeon

As I suffer with acute anxiety about medical procedures, it was vital that I found someone who would be sympathetic to my feelings and dealt with carefully. Peter Driscoll was exactly the right person for me. Clearly a highly skilled and experienced professional, he set my mind at ease and tailored his interactions such that I felt wholly comfortable with the procedure. It was an excellent experience and I am very grateful to him.

Some feedback was the lack of information about parking. I also tried to follow the directions link and it failed on an apple device. A quick Google took me to the door fine. The appointment start time was late and my parking meter was at its end. Luckily no warden about. So some info on parking and timings to expect would be helpful. Thanks for reading.

Visit was easy to book via Circlehealthgroup although reception seems to be over capacity compared to previous visits particularly with all patients having to queue and book in at main reception as opposed to the previous process of checking in at the Outpatients Area reception. Queue resulted in slightly late arrival to patient waiting area.

Dr Asif Hamid

Dentist

I had an implant done by Dr Hamid and I’m extremely happy with how it went. I was very anxious going in, but his communication was excellent—he took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable at every stage. The whole experience was smooth and reassuring, and I’m very pleased with the result. Would highly recommended.

This was my second appointment to get results of blood tests. Dr Neet Dang was very thorough going through the results and was able to come up with a treatment plan. As a patient I felt really listened to and Dr Neet Dang is very knowledgeable in her field and has an excellent way of explaining so that I could understand what was going on.

Lumen Health Assessments

General (Internal) Medicine, General Practice (GP)

Booking this appointment was the right thing to do, the thought of spending the majority of the days in test and reviewing the results was not something I looked forward to, but Dr Savin and the Lumen team were first class and the reassurance I've got from the visit (with some areas to work on) is definitely worth it.
