The admissions brochure fails to state that family members are not allowed to stay with patients during the pre-operative wait. This is a significant omission, as it creates avoidable anxiety for patients who are already nervous about their procedure and are only informed of this restriction upon arrival. The pre-op nurses showed poor bedside manner when I asked about this. Instead of offering reassurance, they quoted “hospital policy” and then gave reasons that felt dismissive and inaccurate — for example, claiming that “too many people come in and out of rooms,” when in reality only one nurse completed paperwork, followed later by the surgeon and anaesthetist. I was also told I would be going to theatre “shortly,” even though I knew (correctly) that I would be waiting another 1.5 hours. My family member could easily have stayed with me during that entire period, as is standard in the Ulster Independent Clinic and in my previous NHS experiences. The lack of engagement from the pre-op nurse beyond basic paperwork questions made the situation feel even more uncomfortable. The pods themselves felt more like small, bare cells than a calming space prior to surgery — no TV, no artwork, just two chairs and a table. It was far from a soothing environment. In contrast, the theatre staff and post-op nurses were outstanding. They were friendly, proactive, and reassuring, and they made up for the negative pre-operative experience. One final issue: the staff arranging my discharge medication did not check my notes and prescribed a medication I am unable to take. Because the pharmacy had already closed, the only solution was to remove it from the prescription entirely.

I’ve been working with Ethan Haussmann for several months, and I can honestly say he is one of the most attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring practitioners I’ve ever met. From the very first consultation, Ethan took the time to fully understand my goals, my lifestyle, and the underlying issues I wanted to address. He doesn’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach — everything is personalised, evidence-based, and explained clearly. His depth of knowledge in peptides, longevity medicine, and overall health optimisation is exceptional. What really sets Ethan apart is his communication. He’s patient, supportive, and always available to answer questions or make adjustments when needed. I’ve felt guided, understood, and genuinely looked after throughout the entire process. The results have been outstanding. I’ve experienced significant improvements in energy, recovery, mood, and overall wellbeing — far beyond what I expected. If you’re looking for a practitioner who combines expertise, integrity, and a truly human approach, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ethan. He is one of the best professionals in this field.

I took my daughter for a blood test today with Dr. Nimah Bholah, and we had an outstanding experience. My daughter has had difficult and painful blood draws in the past, so she was quite nervous. But Dr. Bholah was incredibly reassuring, gentle, and patient throughout the whole process. To our surprise, my daughter felt no pain or discomfort at all, it was the most relaxed she has ever been during a blood test. Dr. Bholah explained everything clearly, helped her feel at ease, and showed real care and professionalism. My daughter even said she would happily come back to see the same doctor again whenever she needs blood work. That alone says everything about the quality of care we received. Thank you, Dr. Bholah, for making what is usually a stressful experience into such a positive one. Truly exceptional service.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

The staff were lovely, so kind and understanding which has been thoroughly appreciated. However, some frustration noted around wait times. While it is appreciated that diagnostics are a lengthy process and take time, I found issues where my assessments were delayed due to Skylight not having all the information from the forms I had already completed, and after submitting my forms I was not told that all of the information had not been received until I reached out and chased my application due to the time frames I was given being overdue. To improve this experience, more communication on what has and hasn’t been received would improve the experience and shorten some people’s wait times, as my wait time was partially increased due to lack of communication over forms I had or hadn’t filled in.

Mr Jonathan Britto

Plastic Surgeon

I had a facelift and blepharoplasty under twilight anaesthesia a week ago and want to share how delighted I am with the whole experience. I do not react particularly well to general anaesthetic and sometimes my blood pressure drops dramatically , but this was actually quite pleasant. I got to lie down under a nice warm blanket and drifted into what I felt was a short nap. In reality it was 4 hours later and Mr Britto had done his magic. I was soon able to eat a light meal and to go home a couple of hours later. There was no “hangover “ feeling . It is a pity that this type of anesthesia is not used more widely. My dressings were removed today and I am looking forward to seeing the final result once the swelling has subsided.

Ms Neeru Vallabh

Ophthalmologist

It took me a time to come to terms with the need for an operation, Neeru was patient at answering all my questions and concerns before I agreed to the procedure and on the day of the operation, the whole team were great. There are a lot of follow up appointments involved and at each of these Neeru provided clear explanations of how things were going, and of all changes to drops, procedures required and dos and don'ts on an ongoing basis. Neeru is passionate and caring about her job and I watched her video on Glaucoma UK as part of my decision making process, along with other videos relating to my condition. It is reassuring that Neeru is in the forefront of treatment of Glaucoma.

Ms Karolina Afors

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Karolina Afors is highly skilled and compassionate doctor. I started seeing DrAfors for a range of pain and suspected endometriosis symptoms. She took plenty of time to read through my pages and pages of notes at our first appt. After being dismissed by other doctors who called my list of symptoms "sensory overload", she was a breath of fresh air with lots of ideas, and she was invested in helping me get my life back from pain. The medicines she has prescribed me for my endometriosis have changed my life and she always has a range of suggestions for symptom management of many conditions. Cannot recommend her enough. I've got my life back with her help.

Mr Said Mohamed

General Surgeon

I have seen Mr Mohamed on two occasions recently and in both cases the appointments were on time, courteous and friendly. Mr Mohamed reviewed my extensive medical history in detail, asked appropriate questions, recommended the next steps and, with my agreement, drew up the appropriate paperwork. The procedures were organised, performed within a few days and a follow up appointment was arranged where the results & ongoing recommendations were discussed. All of this took place over a period of ten days, without doubt one of the best medical experiences I’ve had in my 81 years.

Absolutely amazing, I cannot fault the care and support I have received. I may not be able to climb mountains, but I can carry on with my walking, taking care of myself at the same time. I couldn't have wished for a better Consultant to carry out the surgery and the follow up consultation enabled me to verbally express my gratitude for what he has done. I am totally in a very good space both with my mental health being the best it's been for a long time and the fact that I am mobile without pain. Thank you once again from a very happy me!

Dr Balazs Ruzsics

Cardiologist

Dr.Ruzsics is an exceptional cardiologist who exemplifies professionalism, compassion, and dedication to his patients. His wonderful bedside manner immediately puts you at ease, and he always takes the time to listen carefully and explain every detail clearly and patiently. He cared for my late mother with genuine kindness and respect, and now, as his patient myself, I continue to be deeply impressed by his expertise and empathy. Dr. Ruzsics is truly the epitome of what a good doctor should be, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Rick Popert

Urologist

I first saw Mr Popert in 2016 and before we eventually 'found' my prostate cancer in 2023, I had several years of his unwavering thoroughness and care. This included two prostate biopsies (6 years apart), several MP MRI's and regular PSA testing. When eventually diagnosed, this had all meant we had caught it early which left all treatment options on the table. Eventually opting for Brachytherapy, my care under Mr Popert and his team has been first class. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Better signage would help. We wandered around looking for the appropriate location. There are two car parking 4 areas which doesn't help. Luckily we found a helpful Doc who took us to where we needed to be. Once there we were welcomed. I couldn't eat anything after the op, the restaurant didn't have anything for gluten, dairy and egg free patient. I feel sure they could have products on standby for the future, most vegan products would suffice.

Mr Chukwuemeka Okaro

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have had many consultations with Mr Okaro and he recently performed some major surgery on me. He has been an absolute pleasure to deal with in terms of his professionalism, approachability, friendliness, caring, and always having the time to answer my questions and concerns, and all I can say is I am so pleased to have met him, and to call him my Consultant.

Dr. Jonathan Korgaonkar

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

Arrived at my appointment unsure of what to expect. Dr Jonathan Kirgaonkar asked several questions about my general health and then on to more specific issues regarding my visit. Having firmly identified the problem that was causing the most concern with my arthritis, he suggested a procedure that was agreed on and was implemented extremely well

The Osborne Clinic

Physiotherapy

Everything about Osborne Clinic is just so welcoming , professional and friendly. From Helen greeting me when I arrive to my appointment with Derek for my knee physio. Everything about this practice just makes me at total ease and I just trust them so much. Derek and the team have been such a fantastic support to me.

10/10. If you are financially stable enough to afford this service, I would recommend. I have currently only had the initial consultation chat although I feel like I am putting my health in very capable hands and I’m positive I will continue on to have a fantastic outcome.
