Breast Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 18 more

I had two visits - a pre-surgical assessment and 3 days later I returned for breast cancer surgery with an overnight stay. I have a few hopefully constructive observations: There was no evidence that any information collected at the pre-op meeting was transferred to the team admitting me for my operation. The inefficiencies of this became laughable at times and is a waste of your precious resources and my time . Eg wanting to repeat mrsa tests and weight/height checks because they hadn’t checked their records from 3 days prior. I was told I couldn’t go down to surgery without a Pregnancy test. I had to be very firm that I had the right to refuse and was made to feel like I was being difficult when the truth was very different. The consultants stepped in to support my position and my right to self advocate. The number of different contact points with junior/assistant nursing staff during my 28hr stay was startling, I lost count. There was no continuity at all which led to more observations that necessary (literally 5mins apart because of a lack of communication) and at other times several hours without any contact at all I twice had to tell staff not to put blood pressure sleeve on the arm that just been operated on as they were clueless regarding the surgery I’d had. It’s a general ward so I accept there are no/fewer specialists (eg for breast cancer) but the lack of interest/knowledge was frustrating and in stark contrast to other private hospital experiences I’ve had during this journey. Minor point but there were no towels or toiletries in the en suite and the shower set up was totally impractical for post surgery washing (as the hand held show was missing). I was offered option to use en suite in another room - staff did their best to find a solution and my husband was able to support me.

Harley Street Specialist Hospital

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dietitian, + 8 more

Dear Team, I would like to provide feedback, as my experience at Harley Street Specialist Hospital has genuinely changed my life. I want to say how incredibly grateful and eternally indebted I am to my surgeon, Mr Luke Cascarini. He has given me a completely new lease of life. He is not only an outstanding surgeon but an exceptional human being, and I cannot thank him enough for the care, precision, and compassion he showed throughout my entire journey. I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to Janet, Dr Bosh, and all the nursing staff, as well as every member of the team right down to the wonderful ladies on reception, including Marianne. There are too many to name individually, but every single person played a role in making this experience extraordinary. The hospital itself does not feel like a hospital at all — it feels more like a health retreat where you leave as a better version of yourself. The environment, the warmth, and the standard of care are truly exceptional. For anyone suffering from sleep apnea, as I was, or dealing with any of the conditions treated by your specialists, I could not recommend HSSH and Mr Luke Cascarini more highly. You have all transformed my life in ways I cannot properly put into words. Thank you, sincerely, for everything. Warm regards, Mr Shefik

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.

Mr Nahor Garcia

Physiotherapist

Very professional experienced physio. Nahor set clear goals from a holistic standpoint - focusing on regaining confidence, reducing pain and improving movement & feeling in the foot. He gave thorough explanations with many variations and tailored each session to address any concerns from the previous week. When I began physio with Nahor I had no movement in my toe and severe swelling in my foot as a result of starting physio 4 weeks later than recommended post bunion op. At this point I did not believe I would be able to get back to my previous active lifestyle. 6 weeks later I am back to regained movement and am back to gym, yoga and almost able to perform a lunge. Throughout the process Nahor created a calm, motivating environment which helped me progress further than I imagined.

Thornbury Radiosurgery - Gamma Knife Centre

Neurology, Neurosurgery, + 1 more

My experience has been outstanding. From the first phone call to leaving the thornbury hospital. Hannah the centre manager and Farqi treated me amazingly. I felt safe in the cleanest, calmest environment. The information I received was top notch and I have never experienced such kindness to me. Dr Ibrahim was very kind and I felt that someone was finally listening to me after many months. The staff at the Royal Hallamshire, particularly Nancy and Lisa also went the extra mile and again were very kind. We travelled from East Yorkshire and therefore accommodation was arranged for us by Elaine which was very much appreciated. I WISH THIS MESSAGE TO BE AVAILABLE TO THE HOSPITAL MANAGERS. Janine RN

Nuffield Heath Cardiff Vale

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 20 more

We recently visited Nuffield Vale of Glamorgan for my son’s squint surgery under the care of Dr Jewsbury. The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was clear, reassuring, and consistent, and every member of the team went out of their way to make sure my son felt safe and supported. Dr Jewsbury’s care, both on the day and in the weeks that followed, was exceptional. The results have surpassed our expectations and have been genuinely life-changing for my son. We are so grateful for the professionalism, kindness, and attention we received throughout. Highly recommended.

Dr Keith Duncan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Duncan is an excellent obstetrician. He guided me through my entire pregnancy and delivered my baby with the upmost care. He was always available to address any concerns and questions I had during my pregnancy and treated me with compassion and respect. He has professional bedside manner and a wealth of knowledge in his field. It was a pleasure being under Dr Duncan’s care. His team at the practice are friendly, kind and considerate. I highly recommend Dr Duncan.

HCA Healthcare UK The Harley Street Clinic

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 9 more

Couldn't praise Mr Tang anymore. From the moment I met him, kind, knowledgeable, calm, and I felt at ease even though I ripped my bicep less than a day before meeting him and was in a serious amount of pain. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer, and the surgery was as painless as it could have been. He did say he has never seen a bicep recover so quickly, which I am very proud of; however, I think that was more him than me. Thank you again.

Lanthorn Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

I recently visited Lanthorn Clinic in Farringdon for an advanced blood test and a shoulder ultrasound, and the whole experience was genuinely excellent. The team were positive, helpful and incredibly efficient throughout. The clinic itself is spotless, with a clean and relaxing aesthetic that immediately puts you at ease. Every member of staff I interacted with was friendly, professional and made the process feel straightforward from start to finish.

Dr. Isabelle Mercer

Psychologist

Isabelle was a very understanding person. In our first session she allowed me freely to state the condition in which I found myself. As the sessions progressed she introduced more suggestions and strategies. They were sound, commonsensical and practical. She adapted her strategies to my personal condition. I also found her very easy to relate to. I also felt confident with her, that her knowledge and expertise allowed us to develop common strategies.

Knightsbridge Doctors

General Practice (GP), Imaging (Scans), + 5 more

My experience at Knightsbridge was truly exceptional. I arrived early but the team was delighted to let me wait comfortably in the warm. When I was ready to be seen, I was greeted by Dr Michael Smith. His friendly and welcoming nature instantly put me at ease, even though I was already feeling anxious. The medical exam was done with professionalism and Dr Smith talked to me throughout which I appreciated. I can not express my gratitude enough.

Mr Raj Bhalla

ENT Surgeon

I recently saw Mr Bhalla and had an excellent experience. He was warm, caring, and genuinely attentive throughout the consultation. He took the time to listen properly and made me feel completely at ease with his calm and reassuring manner. His approach was thoughtful, thorough, and professional, and I left feeling confident and well looked after. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking high-quality, compassionate care.

Mr Stefanos Almpanis

Urologist

Doctor Almpanis has done a great work in identifying the issue, and explaining very thoroughly the procedure, the risks and the outcomes. It gave a lot of confidence and you feel how much he cares about the patient well being. I am very grateful to Dr Almpanis for the successful surgery. He attentively monitored the recovery process, and was very responsive and reassuring when I had questions.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, Dermatology, + 21 more

From the consultation to the end results, Mr Mohan was professional and responsive. He has a skill of recognising what needs to be done for my frame and body shape. I no longer have loose skin and have a flat tummy (wearing size 8-10!). The opportunity to have two consultants operating in their expert fields meant I got the best results. I would strongly recommend the Abdominal Wall Clinic.

Professor Rupert Bourne

Ophthalmologist

Professor Bourne obviously understood my anxiety over the problem with my right eye and explained everything very clearly. He also outlined the possible treatment that may increase the clarity of my vision. He invited my son into the latter part of the consultation so that he was also aware of the potential treatment. So thank you for your warmth and kindness during my visit with you.
