Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I had a bilateral cataract operation, performed by Mr. Deshmukh. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The technicians who did all the assessment checks (separate and earlier appointment) were excellent. At this appointment I met Mr Deshmukh who put me at ease and we discussed the best replacement lenses to suit my needs. For me the premium lenses were the right choice. On the day of the operation the hospital staff were brilliant - professional and good humoured. The operation was completely painless and took much less time than I had anticipated. The immediate aftercare was been superb and the nurse talked me through what I had to do and just as importantly avoid doing. I was given some eye drops to use for the next 4 weeks. You quickly become expert at using them. Following the operation my eyesight was as good as I can remember it ever being. I then returned for a follow up consultation with Mr Deshmukh who confirmed that my recovery was going very well and my vision is better than 20/20. I have worn spectacles since my early teens and this is an incredible outcome. I can now proceed with my training to become a driving instructor.

VISIO Health

Ophthalmology

I had a very good experience with Visio Health when I had recent laser treatment following cataract surgery on both eyes with Ms Sandhu. The cataract surgery, which took place in hospital in July and October, has been very successful. I no longer need glasses after having vision corrective lenses. And I hadn’t realised quite how blurred and sepia my sight had become. My vision is now very clear and bright. It really has positively impacted my life. Everything looks like it did back when I was young. It’s so much more cheerful than that blurry, yellow sight that I had grown so used to. And I am so much more confident when driving. No more night glare. I was really apprehensive and anxious about cataract surgery. So much so that it was decided that I would have the procedure under general anaesthetic. But I can honestly say that despite all the worry the end result is better than I could have imagined. The laser treatment at Visio to improve my sight further with one session of laser treatment was totally painless, very straightforward and uncomplicated. The clinic was very well organised and the staff were all lovely. A very good experience.

Mr Sujaya Dheerendra

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Dheerendra could not have been more professional, appropriately friendly and always explained everything so I could understand what he was going to do .He was exceptionally helpful in securing a hospital place where I would be accepted for the operation I needed. (Other medical conditions had made this a difficulty in the hospital of my first choice.) He was an excellent surgeon, my recovery has been very good, he took extra time to make 3 additional visits when I was in hospital to ensure that the wound was healing properly. He was very good at listening to me, both in terms of my current problems and in terms of my expectations for recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, both for his skills as a surgeon and for his ability to communicate with his patient

Kernow Psychiatry

Psychiatry

After many months of difficulties prompted by the sudden loss of my husband, I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Communication with Kernow Psychiatry has been very responsive and I booked an initial appointment to discuss my mental health difficulties. Dr Reid welcomed me into a comfortable room at the wellness hub, she immediately put me at ease and took care make sure I was settled and ready to start. After the hour, Dr Reid summarised what she saw as the key priorities to getting me back on an even keel, suggesting a clear approach to addressing my intersecting issues. I am looking forward to my follow up appointment and the start of my recovery treatment plan. I only wish I’d followed my instincts sooner and booked in months ago.

The McIndoe Centre

Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

Great! Excellent overall experience. Facilities in general good, room, cleanliness, staff and procedure. I really am a fan, and if necessity arises would return with a lot of confidence that things would go well. Two small items of feedback : Negative - situation of the centre is not ideal and some patients get a view of a dingy disused courtyard . This is a minor point ! Food could be a little more interesting. Positive - its both reassuring and positive that the whole experience, especially the excellent staff, are so personal. The patient feels that care is tailored specifically to them. Little danger of removing the wrong leg! Warm human interchanges throughout, which is very, very good!

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.

Mr Naga Venkatesh Jayanthi

General Surgeon

From the first appointment to my last Mr Jayanthi showed care and compassion and I finally felt like someone was listening and wanted to help resolve the issues I was having. I was scheduled in to have surgery a few weeks later and he made me feel so at ease and talked through the procedure and calmed my nerves before going to theatre. After the operation he came to make sure everything was ok and explained what the findings were after the op and made sure I was happy with everything before being discharged. The care I received was first class and would highly recommend Mr Jayanthi.

Mr Muzaffar Ali Anwar

Vascular Surgeon

I had both of my legs treated by Dr Anwar and I would highly recommend him to family and friends for any procedures they may be considering. He was extremely clear and explained everything in detail, which made me feel completely relaxed throughout the procedure. Dr Anwar consistently checked in on me to ensure I was comfortable, and I really appreciated how attentive and caring he was. He truly listens to his patients and creates a personalised plan, which made the whole experience even better. A fabulous surgeon who delivers an A-class service — well worth it.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

I was very apprehensive about eye surgery, but Tom Cudrnak Ophthalmology put my mind at ease. The procedure was painless, swift, and professional. I felt completely safe and supported, especially under Roni's warm, friendly guidance and that of the other team members. I felt in safe hands from the very first consultation to the final follow-up. It was a fantastic process. The results of the eye operation are miraculous and life-changing, and it means so much to me to have my sight back, thanks to you.

Mr Stelios Myriknas

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

We had an excellent experience with Dr Myriknas at West Middlesex Hospital during my first pregnancy. We had some worries about potential low birth weight but Dr Myriknas was very reassuring and made us feel at ease. I did not feel pressured into making any decisions regarding my birth plan and always felt respected and truly taken care of. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any patient seeking quality care in their pregnancy.

Dr David Game

Nephrologist

I consulted Dr. Game for a second opinion on the reported deterioration of my CKD in recent weeks. I was impressed by his thorough knowledge of his specialism and his attention to the detail of my case. He ordered additional blood tests and reviewed my test results from the past 20 years. His conclusions and treatment recommendations provided enormous relief for which I am grateful and reassured as to future prospects.

Dr Tim Lockie

Cardiologist

I first saw Dr Tim Lockie just over two years ago for a blood pressure issue and I was very satisfied with my treatment so I felt I should go back to Dr Lockie today after recent blood tests. Dr Lockie was excellent at explaining his understanding of my blood tests and the medication that he prescribed whilst listening to my concerns and adapting the medication to my lifestyle. IMO He is and excellent cardiologist.

It is a lovely, calm setting, always very clean, with friendly and welcoming staff, including the midwives, who made each visit enjoyable.
