Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

Mr Ahmed Hamouda

General Surgeon

I recently had an operation carried out by my consultant Mr Ahmed Hamouda, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding care I received from start to finish. From the very first appointment, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions with patience, and made me feel completely at ease. On the day of the procedure, his friendly and confident manner helped calm any nerves I had, and the operation itself was a complete success. My recovery was surprisingly quick and virtually painless, which I credit to his skill and expertise. I also want to highlight how wonderful his secretary and the entire team were throughout the whole process. Every member of staff was welcoming, organised, and genuinely caring. Communication was always smooth, and I felt supported at every stage. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend this consultant and his team to anyone in need of exceptional care.

Mr Prodromos Laftsidis

General Surgeon

It has been almost four months since I donated a kidney to my husband, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had Mr Prodromos Laftsidis as my Consultant Kidney Surgeon. From my very first consultation, he put me completely at ease — taking the time to listen to my concerns and clearly explain every aspect of the procedure, including both the benefits and potential risks. His calm, reassuring manner inspired great confidence before and after surgery, which was invaluable during such a challenging time. Mr Laftsidis’s exceptional surgical skill, combined with his compassion, professionalism, and excellent communication, made me feel as though I was his only patient. He also has a wonderful sense of humour, which he shares at just the right moments to lighten the mood. I am deeply grateful for his outstanding care and dedication, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a kidney specialist or surgeon.

The appointment and staff were great but please please please sort out the signage to your section of the hospital. I arrived at the QEQM an hour before my appointment as I knew parking at that time would be a nightmare. I was still trying to park 15 minutes before my appointment. I had to leave my car in a side road and hope it was a restricted area. I had to run from me side of the hospital to the other and no where on any map or sign was there anything saying where the Spencer hospital was. I eventually found the main reception who had to give me directions. I found the part I needed by pure chance. I arrived 4 minutes after my appointment time. This is the 3rd Spencer hospital I have visited within 5 weeks. It was the same story at K and C with no signs. WHH was the only one that had signage where I could find where I needed to go easily but again not listed on the main hospital maps.

Mr Jamil Ahmed

Plastic Surgeon

I had been considering this type of surgery, breast implant removal with capsulectomy, for a few years, and I was incredibly relieved to find such a highly skilled surgeon and team. From the very beginning, he made me feel safe and confident, which truly helped ease my mind throughout the entire process. My results have been amazing. Even my lymphatic masseuse was surprised by how minimal my scars are, you can barely see them, and I haven’t even needed to use anything special to improve them. The team, the hospital, and the overall care were fantastic. I always felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend this surgeon. He works with an excellent team and hospital, with high standards and exceptionally well-trained professionals.

Nightingale Hospital

I loved the day staff. Ikram and Sennecca treated me with such kindness and so much support. I unfortunately was discharged after a week as I have other issues that need addressing before I am able to continue the treatment. The night staff in my experience have not been very attentive to my distress. As nights are the hardest time for me this was quite a big issue for me. Dr Veale is great and really knows what he is talking about. The rooms feel like a hotel and the program is scary but excellent here. Food is another issue for me and the kitchen are very accommodating to needs but the general menu is very eclectic. Overall I would say this is a very good hospital and I've seen patients with real change here.

Harpenden Medical

I was intrigued by the services offered, as they seemed too good to be true. I'm a mid-life woman, starting to worry more about my overall health and wellbeing but didn't want to burden the NHS with curiosity! I really just wanted to have an MOT, to spot any underlying issues or potential health concerns. I was really impressed with the whole set up - state of the art machines, beautiful and clean building - with the most relatable, down-to-earth and professional team of experts. I felt in safe hands, and I had all the advice, tests and support I needed to give me a 12 month clean bill of health but with some advice on how to improve and maintain my health and wellbeing. Highly recommended!

Miss Nishma Patel

Dentist

Not a good experience for me I’m afraid I was extremely nervous but this was kind of dismissed. The extraction took a very long time and was extremely uncomfortable and I was traumatised and shaking like a leaf. Wasn’t even offered to be able to sit down afterwards or asked if I was okay. I have since had terrible pain and rang the surgery to go back but they told me as the surgeon only comes in once a week which I didn’t know I had to go back to my own dentist which is a drive away. I’m on continual painkillers and Have been up half the night I will not be coming back to this Dentist.

I was anxious about my first visit following some negative experiences with nhs gp appointments. But on meeting Dr Shori I was instantly very comfortable and felt heard. I had relevant tests quickly and efficiently. I did not feel rushed or dismissed at any point and came away feeling relieved that I had some answers to symptoms I had been struggling with for a long time. The practice was lovely, clean and overall a nice atmosphere. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again for a concern I was struggling with and would recommend anyone to do the same if they were in a position to do so.

Professor Richard Simcock

Oncologist

I have been under the care of Richard for several years. He is a consultant with a full understanding of required treatment, also with an in-depth knowledge of medical advances in his field and beyond. You never feel rushed with Richard. He always takes his time to fully explain recent developments with treatment or diagnosis. Richard always looks to fully understand any concerns you have, always providing a considered and thorough response. I cannot recommend Richard highly enough.

Mr Andrew Gray

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have suffered osteoarthritis in my right knee for over 4 years. My mobility had deteriorated badly. Just to get out of a chair was excruciating. I received a total knee replacement under Mr Andy Gray at Tees Valley hospital in July 2025. 4 months on and my life has been changed totally. I am totally pain free, fully mobile. I regularly go for 5 mile walks without pain or a limp. My scar has now healed and is virtually invisible. I cannot thank Mr Gray and his team enough.

Was a little confused and concerned with all the last minute changes for surgery, then to be told and left waiting in a room for surgery to then say ur appointment was not the appointment time when u came in on our computer so they did change my appointment time! Other than that surgeon was fantastic brilliant and friendly After Care - as given a bag of meds and a latter and cards for the doctor with no sore dressings for wound area.

Mr Fadi Housami

Urologist

This was my final visit with Dr Housami after several diagnostic procedures and I consider the overall support I have recieved to have been outstanding. Whilst Dr Housami was not able to personally perform the reccomended treatment, he was very helpful un reccomending consultants and the process I needed to follow to proceed, and left me feeling he really cared about finding me the right outcomes. Dr Housami has been absolutely wonderful

Mourne Private Clinic

We went for an early pregnancy scan for a bit of reassurance and to get a better idea of dates and it was the best thing we could have done. Deirdre was our sonographer and was fantastic. She was so reassuring and kind and made us so comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility was spotlessly clean, modern and bright. Everyone we came across was helpful and so friendly!

Mr Sam Jain

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was seen ahead of my appointment time. Mr Jain observed me walking to his consultation room, an important observation following hip replacement . The consultation was carried out with respect for me. I was not rushed in any way and able to ask questions. My xrays were shown and discussed with me. I can't rate Mr Jain high enough. Excellent .
