Dr Nigel G Stephens

Cardiologist

I identified Dr Stephens as someone who might be more suited to my age and sporting interests than my previous cardiologist. The difference in approach was like chalk and cheese. Dr Stephens explained the hunch he had, was willing to share surprise that a key test had been overlooked, it was arranged quickly and delivered professionally by what seemed a very experienced and knowledgeable team at Northwick Park (Mary and colleague). The results accorded with the hunch and were extremely good news. This was against a backdrop of having been advised to do three months detraining, not easy for me but doable if necessary, but without any real assurance that it would lead to a diagnosis. Twenty seven days of booked holidays cancelled with deposits refunded, the prospect of beta blockers for a protracted period, not able to give blood, not possible to continue with my previous travel insurer and always with the doubt in my mind that there may be an undiagnosed significant heart issue. I was amazed by the clarity with which the advice was given, the quality of the advice, the personableness of Dr Stephens and the speed/clarity of the communications. after the two appointments. I got lucky in being given enough info by a friend to take the decision to get myself seen by Dr Stephens. The experience has truly been life changing and I can't think of any other way of describing it. To say I am extremely grateful is a total understatement. I was also impressed by Libby and others in the administration team at Maidstone who seemed to handle everything efficiently and slickly. Overall, entirely faultless and massively impressive. Thank you so much (and see you in a year's time!)

Mr Ian Hunt

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

From when I first met Mr Hunt I asked him not to explain things in medical terms and just tell me as it is .Mr Hunt did just that in a very explanatory way which I totally understood..His manner is and was direct,honest and sincere.On the initial consultation when I was told I had cancer,I could not have asked for a more honest explanation of my condition.MrHunt explained different ways to tackle the problem,and I said I will go with whatever he decides is the best way.Straight away Mr Hunt explained to me what he would like to do and there and then started a plan of action.During that meeting I asked him about the diagnosis and what the future treatments may have in store for me,Mr Hunt immediately said that the procedures I would have before the operation and the operation itself ,he was looking for me to be cured,this was something that I never in my wildest dreams thought I would hear. Yesterday I went for my post op consultation with Mr Hunt and his team and he told me that the operation had been a success and the X-rays showed that there was no signs of cancer.Mr Hunt offered great comfort to me and when I had got my self together explained the check ups I would have over the next 5 years. Not just because of the result I had but I found Mr Hunt as a totally honest, genuine, caring, professional,understanding, kind,empathetic,and knowledgeable person and I could not be more grateful to him and his team for looking after me

Professor Yacoub Khalaf

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an amazing experience with Professor Khalaf, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I started my IVF journey in 2023, which resulted in a successful pregnancy, and I am now the proud parent of a one-year-old baby. I am currently preparing for a second transfer, and throughout this entire journey, the Professor has been nothing but exceptional. He is incredibly approachable, reliable, and always available. I have been able to contact him at any time of the day, on any day of the week, and he has always been willing to accommodate my needs, including fitting in appointments when needed. His level of knowledge and expertise is outstanding, and he always takes the time to explain everything clearly, which immediately puts you at ease. What truly sets him apart is his constant optimism and positive energy. From the very beginning, he believed in my IVF journey and consistently reassured and encouraged me. This positivity made a huge difference and helped me stay hopeful and confident throughout the process. I am extremely grateful for his care, professionalism, and support.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

I was scheduled day surgery on a Sunday and was told to report at Margate Hospital, St Peter’s Rd entrance. Being a Sunday, there was no one at Reception and although a sign said to go to another Reception, it was the wrong one. We asked someone who worked at the hospital and they did not know. Finally we found someone who did know and she directed us to the correct location. The appointment was for 12:30 (no food or drink prior) and the surgery didn’t actually take place until after 3pm. My opinion: 1. Not impressed with the directions and the scheduling; and 2. The surgeon and nurses were all absolutely wonderful, very efficient and professional, and made me feel confident that I was in good hands.

Mr Jonathan Yu

Ophthalmologist

Mr Yu performed successful glaucoma surgery on my eye 2 months ago. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable, taking the time to clearly explain the procedure to me beforehand, patiently answering all my questions fully. He is very calm and reassuring, (as is his whole team) so I felt relaxed and confident on the day. His continuing aftercare has been excellent, and my eye recovered more quickly than I expected, with much less pain than I had anticipated, all down to his high level of expertise. I will definitely choose him for future treatment and have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone considering this type of surgery. I am so grateful to him and his team.

Dr Savio D'Souza

Cardiologist

I had a fantastic experience with Dr D’Souza and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He was extremely professional, kind, patient, and friendly throughout my appointment. He took the time to fully listen to all of my concerns and carefully explained all of my test results in detail, which really helped alleviate a lot of my worries about my heart. I never felt rushed and genuinely felt heard and reassured. Dr D’Souza has a wonderful manner and made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and supportive. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent cardiologist.

Mr Hisham Osman

General Surgeon

Mr Osman I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to my consultant and the entire breast team for the exceptional care I have received. My consultant is a true professional and a gentleman in every sense — calm, kind, and very personable. He made me feel at ease and supported throughout, and his communication was outstanding. The breast team have all been absolutely amazing. They were caring, professional, and always clear and reassuring. The care I received truly could not have been any better. I am extremely grateful to every member of the team. thank you so much

Dr Parkash Lohana

Plastic Surgeon

The surgeon I chose to do my breast augmentation surgery on December 8th 2025 was friendly and professional in consultation. He was honest about my expectations and explained everything start to finish on how to get the results I want considering I was asymetrical and had no breast tissue. Surgery wasnt bad at all and I am more than happy with the results (7 weeks post op) I had no infection, no side effects of the surgery, everything went perfectly and I healed quickly. My scars look so small and I am now holiday ready Thank you Dr Parkash Lohana for your hard work!

The Princess Grace Hospital Outpatients

Diagnostics & Testing, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 7 more

Pretty straightforward experience overall. The receptionist on the first floor (the Somali lady wearing a hijab) was extremely kind and helpful. My phone was about to die and I asked if there was any chance of a charger- she went out of her way to help me, which I really appreciated. It’s the small things like that which leave a lasting impression, and that’s exactly why I wanted to leave this review. The only small suggestion I’d make is having oat milk available at the coffee machine for those who don’t have dairy, it would be a thoughtful and considerate touch.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Ilford

General Surgery, Imaging (Scans), + 2 more

Paid privately for Hip Replacement, initial appointment was disappointing with an hour wait, and a non interested surgeon. A few blips along the way, upon arrival on surgery day, they had me down for a knee replacement not hip, staff on night shift not the friendliest, and thet x rayed the incorrect hip after the surgery. Day shift were great and surgery went well. I will say I expected more for paying privately however the main thing I've had my surgery instead of the ridiculous wait time on the nhs.

Mr Sanjiv Manjure

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Manjure and his team were outstanding. I felt safe, secure and confident in the whole team. From pre surgery appointment, hospital admission and post surgery review everything was just perfect. I was quite nervous prior to have a full knee replacement but the whole process was not as traumatic as I’d been led to believe from other non professionals. I’m surprised at how the wound has healed and how small it actually is. I would highly recommend Mr Manjure and. His team at Manor Hospital.

King Edward VII's Hospital

Urology, Dermatology, + 25 more

The staff at the hospital were all very friendly, helpful and efficient. They understood the importance of admission for surgery to the patient and were very supportive. All of the clinical and medical staff were first class, but the support staff were also excellent. The room was clean and comfortable and I was well looked after. The menu options were very good and the food was delicious. I have no hesitation in strongly recommending this excellent hospital.

Quality Dental : Fulham

Dentistry

I had a great experience with Dr. Aradhna Gupta and her team. I was seen right on time, and the receptionist was very accommodating when I needed to adjust my appointment time. Dr. Gupta was friendly and welcoming, as was her assistant, which made the visit very comfortable. She gave me a thorough check-up and took X-rays to ensure everything was properly assessed. I’m very satisfied with both the examination and the overall service.

Nuffield Health Woking Hospital

Vey please overall with my experience. The room I was allocated has become a little tired and looks like it would need an upgrade on the bathroom and shower equipment. I can’t fault the service and outcome of my knee replacement. Thanks to Woking Nuffield.

Dr Sue Porter is a brilliant doctor who sees you and treats you not your diagnosis. She gives you reassurance and it is easy to trust her and her recommendations . I would recommend her to my family and friends
