Dr. Olena Edwards-Skadowska

Psychotherapist

My experience with Dr. Olena Edwards has been a five‑star experience from start to finish. She brings a rare combination of deep clinical expertise and genuine human warmth that immediately puts you at ease. Throughout each session, she listens with full presence and offers insights that are both clear and transformative. What stands out most is her ability to explain emotional patterns in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming, giving you practical tools you can apply right away. Dr. Olena’s approach is open, compassionate, and deeply committed to helping you understand your challenges at their core. She creates a space where you feel safe exploring difficult topics without judgment, and her passion for her work is evident in every interaction. Over time, my experience with her has remained consistently outstanding. Her genuine kindness, deep sympathy, and unwavering compassion create a therapeutic environment unlike any other. Her exceptional skills set her apart in her field — she is truly one of the best in her craft.

She is not only highly skilled but also sincerely dedicated to helping you gain clarity and move forward with confidence. For anyone considering therapy, a few things can help you make the most of your time with her: arrive with a sense of what you’d like to explore, remain open to her guidance, and feel free to ask questions — she welcomes them and responds with clarity and care. If you’re looking for a therapist who blends expertise with genuine empathy, Dr. Olena Edwards is an outstanding choice.

Mr Rupen Dattani

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Dattani for ongoing shoulder pain that had been affecting my daily activities, exercise, and overall quality of life. From the outset, I was extremely impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and calm manner. He took the time to listen carefully to my symptoms, carried out a thorough examination, and explained the diagnosis and treatment options clearly and honestly. I never felt rushed, and his explanations were easy to understand, which gave me real confidence in the plan we agreed together. What I particularly appreciated was his measured and sensible approach — he did not rush to surgery and focused on the most appropriate treatment for my situation. The care I received was excellent, and the improvement in my shoulder has been significant. I am now back to normal daily activities and exercise with minimal discomfort. The follow-up was equally thorough, and the whole process felt well organised and reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Dattani to anyone seeking expert shoulder care. He combines outstanding technical knowledge with genuine care for his patients, and I felt completely confident throughout my treatment.

The iGP - Private Doctors - Carmarthen

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

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! 😊

Urban TRT

Endocrinology & Diabetes

I started TRT last July at a point when I was struggling significantly with fatigue, anxiety, and poor sleep. Since beginning treatment, all of those areas have improved dramatically, and the difference in my overall wellbeing has been genuinely life changing. A large part of that is down to Chris and the environment he has created at Urban TRT. Throughout the process he has monitored my progress closely, explaining results clearly and adjusting treatment thoughtfully where needed. What really sets Urban TRT apart, however, is how personable and approachable Chris and the team are. I have always felt informed, listened to, and confident that my health was being managed properly rather than simply being treated by numbers alone. I genuinely would not hesitate to recommend Urban TRT to anyone considering TRT or looking for a clinician who takes a genuinely holistic and professional approach to patient care.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I had been considering eye surgery and attended Cathedral Eye Clinic to get a second opinion, having already spoken with a consultant in Dublin. Putting it simply, my experience in Belfast was far superior. The team at Cathedral ran a more comprehensive range of tests, assigned more time and personnel to my case, and were far better at talking through my options. In particular, I was very pleased that they were willing to give me their honest perspectives based on what they felt was best for me in the long run. Ultimately (based on their guidance), I decided not to go forward with any additional procedure at this time, but should I need treatment further down the line, I will not hesitate to go back to Belfast.

Miss Kavita Verma

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I contacted Dr Kavita Verma to discuss my concerns over my prescription for perimenopause. I booked an appointment online at a time suitable for me after work and although I had my reservations, I was put at ease straight away. I talked through my symptoms and what I had been prescribed and I was advised the best way forward and also advised on some other options to help with other symptoms. I am being given a letter to give to my GP regarding what we have discussed and we are having a follow up call in 3 months. Switching to HRT feels like a big step to take, but I feel much about my decision now that I have talked it through. I felt like I was truly listened to and my concerns were heard.

Daye

Diagnostics & Testing, Infectious Diseases, + 2 more

From start to finish Daye is intuitive and easy to use. I’ve done many online health tests prior to this but nothing compares to the level of service Daye provides. For clarity I did the full screen and purchased the 30 min nurse call. The sample is beyond easy to take and post. The results came back fast and were clear to understand, on top I was sent a beautiful kind email and was also offered a free call to over my HPV results. I didn’t use this but my 30 min call with the nurse was invaluable. I would have been happy to pay triple the price for the service I received. I will be 100% using Daye again and have already recommended to friends.

Mr Raghav Dwivedi

ENT Surgeon

Mr Dwivedi treated me for a large thyroid lump - I didn't know whether it was benign or malignant and as someone who suffers from anxiety, I was a bit of an anxious wreck in the lead up to surgery. I could not have been treated better by Mr Dwivedi. His bedside manner is excellent, he explained everything very clearly and with empathy, and he put me at ease from the start. I had to have a hemithyroidectomy in order to ascertain whether the lump was cancerous or not (thankfully it wasn't), but the operation was smooth, the recovery was manageable, and the scar is barely noticeable already. All round - I would highly recommend Mr Raghav Dwivedi.

The Forbes Clinic

Pain Management, Allergy Medicine, + 4 more

I had an online meeting with Gayle which was really helpful, much more relaxed than expected whilst including an in-depth exploration of my test results, health issues, and their timeline and effects on my life. Gayle is polite, respectful, understanding, and easy to talk to, as well as thorough and interested to understand and create a full picture. She’s very knowledgeable in a range of areas and made various links between results and possible causes. I look forward to continuing my health improvement with her support.

One Stop Healthcare

I highly recommend Dr Sandra Hlaing who I decided to seek help with regarding my menopause struggles. She was amazing and explained everything to me in great detail. She was professional but friendly and put me at ease with my situation. I came away with a huge sigh of relief as I was listened to and given a plan which I desperately needed. I am extremely grateful to Dr Hlaing as I now feel happy and so much more in control of my condition. She is a credit to both her profession and Sancta Maria Hospital.

Dr Mustafa Alnaib

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My planned visit to consult Mustafa after the festive period suddenly crystallised, such that the consultation and treatment occurred all in one evening visit. Arrangements were made and on examining the analysis of the X-ray of my knee, it was clear that Durolane plus Depo-Medrone would be the best treatment, at least initially. Mustafa then carried out the injection and, with some advice on what might happen during the next few days, I was free to go. That level of service is very hard to beat!

Mr James Smith

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr James Smith. His warm and reassuring bedside manner put me completely at ease instantly. Before our consultation, it was evident that he had thoroughly familiarised himself with my file. He was incredibly personable and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns about ‘next steps’. He explained everything clearly and simply, never rushing me. I left the hospital feeling very happy with my choice of consultant.

The Doctors Lounge Chalfont

General Practice (GP)

I think the Doctors Lounge is such a great personal investment. You are able to see a doctor quickly, they have all your notes in front of them and have excellent referal doctors should you need further support. I cannot recomend Dr. Nik Chopra and his team more highly. It also means you take pressure off your local GP who can then spend their time with patients who need to use the NHS service. Think outstanding service and value for money.

Ass. Prof. Dr. Dilip Nazareth

Respiratory Doctor

Dr.Nazareth is a superb Clinician with a truly wonderful friendly and reassuring manner. Completely superb in every respect. Going that extra mile to look at X-rays to give early feedback on results to save patient anxiety. Carefully explaining his initial thoughts on appropriate tests and initial treatment etc as part of the process. A warm and caring man who is a credit to the services offered by Spire.

Dr Anastasia Mermigka

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr. Mermigka is a fantastic consultant. I was particularly impressed by how she explained my treatment options; she used clear language and made sure I understood every step of the process. I felt I could ask any question without being rushed. It is clear she is an expert in her field, and her calm approach made the whole experience very stress-free. A top-quality service from start to finish
