The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Dr Alan Watson

Gastroenterologist

Usually feedback is of a negative nature but this is not one of those occasions. My experience was awesome for which I am super grateful. I have had a number of gastroscopies in my life so was nervous about what was going to happen. From the moment of my arrival I was greeted and made to feel comfortable straight away. The pre-procedure nurses were very clear, helpful and showed huge amounts of empathy about what was going to happen. When wheeled into the operating theatre I was introduced to all of the team who were to perform the procedure, all of whom had welcoming smiles and a reassuring tone (a tone that continued throughout the procedure). Dr Alan Watson was super clear, professional and again very comforting. I knew I was in safe hands. I just had a throat spray, no sedation, so was fully aware of what was going on. One action that was performed by a nurse during the procedure was to, comfortingly, rub my shoulder. I couldn’t see who it was, but such a small, seemingly insignificant action, was hugely important to me and kept me connected with humanity during the brutal fact that I had a scope down my throat. Post procedure, I was greeted with the warm smiles again and wheeled to the recovery area where again everyone was super attentive. I can’t say thank you enough for everything. The team were awesome.

GenesisCare Birmingham

Oncology

Upon arriving at Genesis care I was impressed by its warm, friendly and immaculate environment. The little touches like a jigsaw for patients to work on and the endless offers of coffee and biscuits were appreciated. The Staff and radiographers were incredibly professional and so very pleasant. They quickly put my mind at rest. They were really focused on making sure I was ok during the whole treatment journey. While undergoing treatment I got to meet a Penny Brohn counsellor which was very much appreciated as cancer and its treatment can be a very challenging time. Last but not least the addition of a fleet of drivers that took me to every appointment, waited for me, and drove me home was a real comfort. The drivers, like all the staff, were so friendly and chatted to me in a way that relaxed me and helped me feel calmer upon arrival. Cancer is a tough journey but everyone at Genesis Care made it much easier in so many ways. I cannot recommend the entire team, that make it work flawlessly, highly enough.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely wonderful experience! I had a microneedling treatment at this clinic and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the very beginning I felt truly well looked after and completely at ease. The atmosphere was so warm, calm and welcoming — I felt comfortable, cozy, and deeply relaxed throughout the whole treatment. Selina was absolutely fantastic — kind, professional, gentle, and very attentive to my comfort. She explained everything clearly and made sure I felt safe and relaxed at every step. Thanks to her, the treatment was not only effective but also a genuinely pleasant and soothing experience. I am extremely happy with the results and I will definitely be coming back. I highly recommend this place and especially Selina to anyone looking for professional care and outstanding service. Thank you so much! 💛 Monika

I cannot recommend Erin Lahay highly enough. Over the past three months, she has helped me immensely with both shoulder and lower back pain. What sets Erin apart is her holistic approach. She took the time to thoroughly assess my body, running strength tests and identifying underlying issues rather than just treating symptoms. Her treatment combined soft tissue massage to relieve pain and a tailored exercise routine designed specifically for my needs. The results have been incredible - my pain has improved dramatically, and the changes have truly been life-changing. Beyond the physical improvements, Erin has also supported me mentally. She helped me shift my perspective on pain and has taught me not to give up on getting better. Her professionalism, empathy, and expertise have made all the difference. I can't thank her enough.

It was a really welcoming and professsional. Ms Ray was very friendly and welcoming. She put my daughter as ease. There was a slight confusion with the xray as my daughter didn’t realise she was meant to drop the form round to the x Ray department so we were waiting in the main reception for a while before I asked how long it would be. However it was quick to get the xray and bloods. My only issue was the parking. There were so many areas for consultants, disabled, oncology, staff, which is understandable but it meant we had to drive around 3 times to find a space.

Mr Stavros Karamanakos

General Surgeon

I was put at ease by Mr Stavros Karanakos, he explained the treatment for my condition, invited questions from me which he answered, and explained the procedure in detail. I left after that initial meeting feeling that I was in very capable hands. On the day of the operation I was visited by him where he outlined the procedure again, explaining the possible issues that could happen. I was visited again after the operation to check on my progress and to update me on how the procedure went.

The team on the OCD ward incredibly kind caring and compassionate. It's like being part of a family, including the other 5 patients here. Although, it was challenging at times, I've learnt so much about my condition and I now realise that my beliefs does not necessarily mean it's true. If you're suffering with OCD and feel like you're alone or you have nowhere else to turn to, I highly recommend the Nightingale's 28 day inpatient stay.

Mr Majid Shabbir

Urologist

I had my initial consultation with Mr Majid Shabbir and was genuinely impressed. He took the time to listen carefully and understand my concerns without rushing. He explained everything clearly, pointed me towards the most relevant information, and arranged the necessary further investigations in a very kind and reassuring manner. I left the appointment feeling properly heard and confident about the next steps. Highly recommend him.

Dr. Omer Ahmad

Gastroenterologist

After 2 years of stomach issues and getting no where with the gp, Dr. Ahmad gave me really clear & in depth advice on getting to the route of the problem. I had a gastroscopy which was smooth and practically painless which tested for a wider range of issues than I have tested for in the past. I now feel a lot more informed about the potential causes of my symptoms and confident in next steps to recovery.

Mr Madhusudhan Nannaparaju

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Knee replacement surgery, felt very well cared for and lucky to receive this treatment as an NHS patient. My recovery continues well and I’m sure my new knee will serve me well, I hope very much to come back and have treatment on my other knee in due course if I qualify for the help. Lovely hospital with kind and attentive staff. Felt very safe in the hands of mr Nannaparaju.

Dr. Arifur Rahman

Psychiatrist

Dr Rahman is incredibly kind and has a calming and reassuring presence. He truly listens when you speak and always takes the time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. He genuinely cares about his patients. My life has dramatically changed for the better thanks to him, and I continue to feel deeply grateful for the help he's provided me these past few years.

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

On the previous visit you are asked certain points the main one was can you lay flat on this type of bed for a period of ten to fifteen minutes keeping your head still I did it but with my back problem it was a worry quite painful. On the day I was pleasantly surprised as the bed had a soft top and in three sections that could be adjusted. No pain experienced.

Mr Mahantesh Karoshi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I’m very grateful to Dr Karoshi for seeing me the same day and for always treating me with such kindness. I’ve been his patient for a few years and he consistently explains everything clearly and makes me feel heard. He is not only an exceptional doctor but also a genuinely good person who treats his patients with real care. I always feel well looked after.

Mr Nibedan Biswas

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I received excellent care and support from Mr Biswas and the team at Nuffield. Everything went smoothly and Mr Biswas was calm, professional and put me at ease during the visits. So glad I went through with the hysterscopy as I was hesitant to begin with but now feel reassured and was informed of the results straight after with clear next steps.

Attended for Mirena coil fitting and was very nervous. Dr Colquhoun was excellent at putting me at ease and I had full trust in her. Her manner eased my anxiety and the experience wasn’t half as bad as what I thought it would be. The clinic does not feel like a doctor’s office at all and everything is done to make patients feel comfortable.
