Mr Mohammed Akmal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been under the care of Mr. Akmal since 2022, for treatment of Spinal disc degeneration. Without his professional skill and empathy I would still be in chronic pain. Having had a very successful disc replacement & fusion surgery back in 2023 under his care, further deterioration in other joints resulted in needing another bout of disc replacements and fusion in my cervical spine, and cortex spacers in my lumber spine. In late 2025 I embarked on another session of surgery and underwent the operation to replace, fuse and insert spacers in the offending areas of my Lumber & Cervical spine. I request both of my afflicted areas be treated in the same operation, whilst naturally cautious he undertook a rigorous assessment of the risks and eventually he and his team agreed to proceed. I had both my Cervical and Lumber spine treated in the same surgery and having entered at 07:00, I once again walked out at 18:00 on the same day. 2 weeks later the key hole wounds had healed I was off painkillers and well on the way to full recovery. My experience again is a testimony not only to the personal skill, knowledge and empathy of Mr. Akmal, but to all the people who enable such life changing surgery to happen, including the anaesthetist, surgical team, and ward staff. The successes of the surgery undertaken by Mr. Akmal and his highly skilled team are due not only to their professional skills, but to the holistic approach taken from diagnosis, explanation of options, type of painkillers and follow up care. Whilst the impact of aging and bodily wear cannot be escaped, Mr. Akmal does offer options to improve quality of life immensely. An interesting footnote is prior to the surgery I was suffering from Hypertension, post surgery my BP is back to normal for my age, a reflection of how chronic pain can affect you in more ways than one....!!

Mr Daniel Apostol

Physiotherapist

I recently underwent a hip replacement and was fortunate to have Daniel as part of my care team. His dedication and expertise made a difficult journey much smoother and gave me confidence every step of the way. Daniel’s knowledge and skill were evident from pre-op planning through post-op recovery. He explained options clearly, answered all my questions, and helped me feel prepared. He listened carefully to my concerns, provided reassurance during anxious moments, and maintained a patient, supportive demeanor. Daniel communicated expectations, timelines, and potential complications in a way that was easy to understand. I always knew what to expect next. He was attentive in clinic and consistently followed up on my progress, adjusting care as needed to optimize recovery. Daniel coordinated seamlessly with the surgical team, therapists, and nursing staff to ensure cohesive and comprehensive care. Thanks to his guidance and treatment, I experienced a smooth recovery and regained mobility and quality of life sooner than I anticipated. During the initial consultation, Daniel laid out a clear plan and answered my questions with patience. Post-surgery, his check-ins and proactive management of pain and rehab milestones kept me motivated. He encouraged me to stay committed to physical therapy, which was pivotal in regaining strength. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone facing hip replacement. His expertise, empathy, and proactive approach were instrumental in my successful recovery. If you’re looking for a clinician who combines technical excellence with genuine care, Daniel is an outstanding choice.

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

The Portland Hospital truly felt like a five-star hotel combined with exceptional medical care. From the moment we arrived, everything was calm, organised, and incredibly well run, making what can be an overwhelming experience feel reassuring and even enjoyable. The facilities are outstanding, the rooms are beautiful, and the level of comfort is unmatched — but what really makes The Portland special is the people. The care we received from the midwifery team was absolutely exceptional. In particular, midwives/nurses Lucy and Anna were truly wonderful. They were kind, attentive, reassuring, and incredibly supportive, always taking the time to check in, explain everything, and make us feel completely cared for. Their warmth and professionalism made such a difference to our experience and helped us feel confident and supported every step of the way. The aftercare was equally impressive, with genuine attention to both mother and baby. Every member of staff went above and beyond, and nothing ever felt rushed. We are so grateful for the outstanding care we received and would highly recommend The Portland Hospital to anyone looking for exceptional maternity care in a calm, luxurious, and supportive environment.

Mr Benjamin Jones

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Ben and the Lister team were amazing in every single way. We started our IVF journey at another large London clinic on Harley Street and did not have a great experience. After that we changed clinics to the Lister hospital and Dr Bens care and wished we had done it sooner. Dr Ben listened to our wishes and concerns, and took them into consideration, whilst always focusing on the best outcome for us. He is extremely knowledgeable and we trusted him and his expertise completely. One thing that also made a huge difference to our patient experience was that Dr Ben was always available for any questions and would answer them himself and almost always immediately or within a few hours, depending on his time. At the clinic we were before, we never saw the same consultant, the plan of care felt very much like a standard protocol rather than tailored to the patient and answers to questions where hard to come by outside of appointments. Our son Alexander was born healthy at the end of 2025 and we could not be more grateful to Dr Ben and the whole Lister Team!

Dr Rohan Jagathesan

Cardiologist

I came to Dr Jagathesan with symptoms that had been presenting since teenage years but had never been investigated by GPs. After talking these symptoms through with Dr Jagathesan he was very sympathetic to my concern and provided clear suggestions as to possible causes and outlined a set of tests to explore these possibilities as well as an extra round of tests if deemed necessary by the initial results. Once the tests were completed Dr Jagathesan was very clear in communicating the results, which were that my heart was structurally fine and showed no irregularities in the tests done. As such my symptoms were likely caused by anxiety and not life threatening. Dr Jagathesan’s communication and care throughout was fantastic presenting me clearly with facts and data whilst also being sympathetic to my concerns.

The McIndoe Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, General Practice (GP), + 3 more

I have received nothing but the upmost care from all staff. The parking is simple on arrival and great to have disabled spaces immediately outside for collection post op! I have always been called through to my appointments on time and at times even earlier if I've arrived early myself. The staff that have stood out to me and taken wonderful care are Louise, Ruby, Jessie in the surgery department and Sandy in the post care department. Everywhere is always clean, with a warm welcome from reception. It's a lovely touch to use the drinks machine in the waiting area, the hot chocolate is delicious. I cannot fault any of my treatment or care by the Mcindoe staff, its exceptional.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, Dermatology, + 21 more

I had a day procedure at the Lindo Wing and the experience was excellent. The doctors and nurses were incredibly supportive, professional, and kind, which made a stressful situation much easier to cope with. The entire process, from arranging the initial consultation to scheduling the procedure, was handled very efficiently, with minimal waiting time. The medical staff took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout the day. The environment was calm, clean, and reassuring, and I truly felt that I was in very safe hands. I am very grateful for the care and compassion shown by the whole team.

Mr Shailesh Agrawal

ENT Surgeon

I am beyond grateful to Mr Agrawal.. From the very first moment, he treated me with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. He truly listened to me — not just to my symptoms, but to my concerns and fears — and that made all the difference. He never rushed the appointment and took the time to explain everything in a way that made me feel understood and at ease. His bedside manner is exceptional, and his compassion is real and deeply felt. I left feeling relieved, confident, and cared for. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an ENT Dr who combines medical excellence with compassion and respect.

Mr Mohamed Boshnaq

General Surgeon

I really couldn't be happier or more grateful for the care I received from Dr Boshnaq. From the first consultation, he explained the procedure (laproscopic cholecystectomy) clearly and had plenty of time and patience to answer any questions. The procedure itself went completely smoothly and Dr Boshnaq has a very calm bedside manner. So pleased that I was able to have treatment with him at the Spencer wing and would absolutely recommend him and the hospital to anyone needing similar procedures.

Mr Oisin Keenan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Both consultations with Mr Keenan were a pleasure. Appointment bookings were swift and flexible. His warm, and relaxed yet professional nature immediately settled my nerves. He was most thorough in his assessment and examination of my knee. My follow-up appointment was equally positive. While very informative, I later emailed with another question. The reply was extremely efficient, answering my question and providing additional, helpful information. I highly recommend Mr Keenan.

Mr Tan Arulampalam

General Surgeon

Tan has been fantastic from the start. He explained everything clearly and concisely and also ensured my expectations were managed as my case could have been more complicated than it was. I feel this it's important so as not to get patient's hopes up to an unrealistic level. I feel much better after my fistulotomy than I thought I would and that in itself is treatment to Tan's expertise and professionalism. Thank you Tan, for all you have done so far.

Skin Horizon

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I had an excellent experience at Skinhorizon Clinic for my acne treatment. The team was kind, professional, and really took the time to understand my skin concerns. The treatment plan was explained clearly, and I started noticing improvements sooner than I expected. The clinic has a calm, reassuring atmosphere, and I felt well cared for throughout. I highly recommend Skinhorizon Clinic to anyone struggling with acne.

Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Paediatric Cardiology, Breast Surgery, + 35 more

The doctor and nurses here are very kind and really helped me during a nerve wracking procedure that I was highly anxious for. I do think given how much we pay for these appointments, that the facilities could really use a revamp. It fees tired and dated in the common areas and the toilets were not very clean. On top of that, you can never find a parking spot, which adds extra anxiety to pre appointments.

HCA Healthcare UK London Bridge Hospital

Gastroenterology, Respiratory Medicine, + 11 more

The hospital was very clean, very friendly and very welcoming. I was shown to my room, given a menu for dinner that night as I was staying over. The staff were all very polite and attentive, even going above and beyond to get me a chocolate milkshake when the kitchen had shut. Very nice people and a very good stay after my first time going under anaesthetic

Cleveland Clinic Portland Place Outpatient Centre

Gastroenterology, Anaesthetics, + 10 more

His extensive experience and strong knowledge inspire confidence and I felt well supported and understood throughout my care.
