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

Dr Sunila Jog

Paediatrician

I accompanied my teenage daughter to visit Dr Jog, following an initial consultation where my husband had been present. During the initial consultation, I had been overseas with work and because of the conviction my husband spoke about Dr Jog, I felt reassured and comforted that my daughter was in safe hands. Not being home for such a significant consultation was difficult but Dr Jog’s professionalism, confidence and assurance, as relayed by both my daughter and husband, made it a little easier for me. When it was time for our next consultation, we were apprehensive but were immediately put at ease by Dr Jog. She was sensitive to my daughter’s feelings, treated her with respect and grace, and spoke to her clearly without ambiguity. Dr Jog’s presence and conduct throughout our interactions was refreshing and reassuring. We would have rather not needed to attend the clinic at all, however I am grateful to Dr Jog for making the experience as positive as she did, for her kind words to my daughter and most importantly giving my daughter confidence on leaving the hospital to conquer the world! She is a true role model to young women.

The Women's Health GP

General Practice (GP)

Having been to several medical professionals in my life, I can honestly say the care provided by Dr Katie Cowie is exceptional. She has a great bedside manner, there is no judgement and she is, very knowledgable and understanding. Personably speaking, I would now always consult her on my journey through peri-menopause and beyond. She is well worth the cost for such excellent one to one care. I also see her for weight loss and again, for anyone contemplating medical assisted weight loss, I would always recommend going through someone like Dr Cowie. The assistance she provides with her vast knowledge on the subject is invaluable. I’m so grateful to have met her. and I recommend her to everyone I know going through any women’s health issues.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

I had a online assessment, I was seen by Wioleta Cholewinska. She was really lovely, welcoming and put me at ease. She made me feel comfortable and was understanding and listened very well. The longest waiting part was from filling out the forms to the assessment, but even tho this was a wait, I was expecting it to be a lot longer than it was so that’s great. The actual booking of my assessment was super quick and easy. They sent me a date and time that was for an appointment within 14days of them sending me the appointment details. I’ve heard this can be a lot longer elsewhere so I was surprised about this in a good way.

My overall experience at the clinic was exceptional. When I first booked my appointment it was scheduled for a week later, but I asked whether there might be any cancellations before then. The team were incredibly helpful and thoughtful — they called me back and arranged for me to be seen the very same day. From start to finish, the service was efficient, compassionate, and reassuring. At what was a very anxious time for me, everyone I dealt with was kind, responsive, and professional. I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout my visit, and I am extremely grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Dr Chris Steadman

Cardiologist

I have had reason to see Dr Steadman over the last year firstly to deal with some heart issues which were diagnosed and resolved extremely quickly and latterly a number of tests which have proven to be reassuringly negative in their outcome. From dealing with Hannah to arrange things to being clinically looked after by Dr Steadman I have always felt I have been dealing with caring, efficient and positive people who excel at what they do. I would also say that has been my experience of those members of the medical team I have met at both Bournemouth and Poole Hospital.

Mr Benjamin Lamb

Urologist

My visit with Dr Ben Lamb was extremely positive and reassuring. He took the time to carefully explain my prostate cancer diagnosis and walked me through the available treatment options in a clear, balanced, and compassionate manner. I felt listened to, respected, and fully involved in the discussion about my care. Dr Lamb’s professionalism, depth of knowledge, and calm approach helped me feel confident and better informed about the decisions ahead. I left the appointment feeling supported, reassured, and grateful for the clarity he provided.

Mr Chatenya Chauhan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

first meeting Dr Chauhan I felt at ease and he instantly gave me a lot of confidence to have a major operation, a full hip replacement. He explained in detail what would happen etc etc. In the operating theatre he again put me at ease with his professionalism and the operation was over and done before I knew it with no problems at all. All aftercare by himself and his staff was excellent. I would recommend anyone who is in need of surgery to seriously book Dr Chauhan as he was excellent. Highly recommend him

Dr Dennis Barnes

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I was an NHS patient of Dr Barnes approximately ten years ago. My experience then and now has not changed. He does not just listen; he hears what you are saying and talks to you as an equal. He has a caring disposition. Dr Barnes asks questions that go beyond the presenting issues. I know he will do his best to find a solution to alleviate my symptoms. I have recommended Dr Barnes to others in the past and would have no hesitation in recommending him in his current role.

The Prostate Centre

Urology, Oncology

I received excellent care from Mr Challacombe for prostate cancer, diagnosed in 2023. I had a robotic total prostatectomy for a high grade cancer and two and a half years later I remain cancer free, with normal urine continence and satisfactory recovery in erectile function. My follow-up appointments are always on time as scheduled. I highly recommend the professional care provided by Prof Challacombe to any man faced with a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

I found the number of emails related to the appointments to be unnecessary and extreme. I was asked to complete a pre appointment questionnaire online. I did so and then received 3 further emails and a text message asking me to do the same. I have also received 4 emails asking me to give this feedback. Please look at your system. Filling your clients inboxes with multiple emails is not helpful for anyone.

Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

No worries at all. Am a little confused with the form filling in via the web site, and I am inundated with reminders to fill them in both on the Internet and on my phone. It often makes me wonder if you have received them? Everything absolutely fine otherwise... My deafness causes me a problem, but once I have reminded the staff I am deaf, then they always make sure I understand what they are saying.

Mr Christian Smith

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Smith gave me his full attention and took the time to listen and explain the issues I have been experiencing. He talked me through the procedures clearly, helping me understand what was causing the problem and how it could be managed more effectively. I really appreciated the appointment and look forward to continuing treatment with Dr Smith.

Mr Bishwanath Pal

Ophthalmologist

He explained in detail what my condition was, how it was affecting my vision and what he proposed to do to try to correct it. He also explained the process involved and lively time scale involved with the procedure. He was also quite honest with me regarding my expectations after the procedure.
