UK Vein Clinic - Harley Street

Vascular Surgery

Since the moment I entered the clinic I was very well taken care of. The friendliness of the staff made all potential stress go away in seconds. The procedure itself was almost pain free and if any pain was felt that was similar to when one has their blood test done. My treatment was both radiofrequency ablation as well as foam sclerotherapy on both legs. It was done literally in a flash while having a friendly relaxing chat with doctor and nurses. I was shocked when I was informed the treatment was already completed. I have been instructed about the aftercare as a reminder as I had received many emails before the treatment explaining all stages including recovery. Then I simply got out of the clinic and had a walk around the city with my husband who was also amazed how quickly it all went. Their aftercare is spot on too and you can get in touch any time you might feel concerned. It is now my fourth day after the treatment and I feel great and I am so happy that all nasty vericose veins I had are gone. I would and will recommend the clinic and the treatment to anyone struggling with vericose veins issues. Milena

Prof. Adam Frampton

General Surgeon

I had surgery in November at New Victoria Hospital for multiple abdominal hernias under Professor Frampton after seeking a second opinion, and I’m very glad I did. From the first consultation, he was friendly and reassuring, took the time to explain everything clearly, and answered all my questions, which put me at ease after a previous, less positive experience elsewhere. On the day of surgery, he came to see me beforehand and talked everything through again, which I really appreciated. The surgery itself went extremely well, using a no-mesh technique, and I was honestly surprised by how quickly I recovered. I had minimal pain and was back to normal activities within a week. I am now two months post-op and so far the hernias have stayed closed. I am able to do activities that would previously have caused me pain, which has made a huge difference to my day-to-day life. At my follow-up appointment, Professor Frampton was pleased with how well I’d healed and again took time to answer my questions. I felt listened to, well cared for, and very confident in his expertise throughout the whole process.

The communication from Skylignt is poor. My final report stated I did not complete 2 of the questionnaires, which I did, as I saved copies of my answers in case technology failed. Nobody chased these missing questionnaires and the response time when I did contact the admin team was 15 working days each time. All of the timescales I was told from start to finish were very inaccurate. Some of these timescales are still on the website. From referral to acknowledgement I was informed 6-8 weeks and it was 9 weeks. From acknowledgement/forms to initial appointment I was informed 8-12 weeks and waited 16 weeks. From assessment to report I was told 8-10 weeks and it was 14 weeks. I have been told 9 months from October until medication titration, but I can’t trust that this timescale is accurate. The staff are very friendly and helpful and brilliant when you do have an interaction with them, but the volume of work must be beyond current capacity to provide such inaccurate information to patients who are seeking support/diagnosis for a condition that requires accuracy and creates a high level of anxiety.

Dr Philip Alexander

Ophthalmologist

It would have been better if it was made more clearly to us that Johns' vision would settle after 3-4 weeks rather than be under the impression 10-14 days would see vision return. The difference in wording is quite subtle. If there were to be future patients with only one eye, and this needs operating on, then I would like to advise that it is extremely difficult to function with this sudden complete loss of sight, even for a few days. Both patient and any carer need to be made aware of this and the psychological pressure it brings to all involved in caring at home. Fortunately, I have experience through eye injury of my own and Social Care work. Therefore I was more prepared than John was!! We are very happy that Mr. Alexander took time to run through tests and explanations thoroughly in a very pleasant manner. Written by Johns' spouse as he is unable to see enough to write this himself!!

Dear Doctor and Team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the outstanding care I received during my gastroscopy. From start to finish, the entire process was made so much easier than I had expected. Dr Hayat was absolutely fantastic — humane, empathetic, and reassuring — which made a huge difference to me. The staff took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions patiently, and helped me feel informed and calm throughout. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. What could have been a very stressful and frightening experience was turned into a positive one, not only for me but also for my partner, who felt reassured by the kindness and clarity shown by the team. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved. Your compassion and professionalism truly made a lasting impression, and I am very grateful.

10/10 experience. We had our 10 year old son assessed for ADHD. From the moment i called to enquire about the process and what are the steps involved to the actually assessment, everyone has been amazing. Steven in the front office walked me through the entire process, what to expect, costings etc. he was polite, kind and very professional. Dr Hollie Hearfield who did the assessment was lovely. She was so good with our son, she explained everything to us as to what the next steps are. I cannot recommend you enough to others who might be thinking of going private. Its an overwhelming decision to make and it has been nothing but informative and easy with Berkley's. Keep up the amazing service that your staff deliver x

Mr Georgios Exarchos

General Surgeon

Dear Mr. Georgios, ♥️ Let the beauty of what you love be what you do ♥️ I am so grateful for your professionalism and empathy. From the first moment we met in the doctor's office, I knew I was under the best care. I am grateful for the treatment process. I am grateful for the answers to every question I had. Thank you for the exceptional atmosphere during this difficult time and for trying to understand my language (not entirely pure English). I was terrified from the first day of my diagnosis, but your approach to the patient and your guarantee of health made me trust you and face one of the most difficult moments in the last months of my life. Dziękuję 🤗

I had a really positive experience at this clinic while receiving support for endometriosis and adenomyosis. From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, professional, and compassionate. The care I received was thorough and reassuring, and I finally felt listened to and taken seriously. The clinic environment was calm and supportive, and everything was explained clearly throughout the process. I’m so grateful for the help and understanding I’ve received here, and I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone seeking specialist care for women’s health conditions

Mr Magdy Nawar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Nawar is a fantastic consultant and surgeon. He listened to my concerns and issues, provided a clear explanation of the options available to me without being overly technical and was very supportive of my decision. Not quite knowing what to expect, the surgery itself (total abdominal hysterectomy) and recovery have been a revelation and this is down to Mr Nawar's expertise and calm and caring approach. He showed great care before, during and after my surgery and I would 100% recommend Mr Nawar. Thank you!

Spire Manchester Hospital is exceptional in every sense. The nursing staff who cared for our son were outstanding and made the entire experience feel calm and reassuring rather than clinical. In particular, Sarah was wonderful — attentive, warm, and highly professional, creating an environment that didn’t feel like a hospital at all. The standard of care throughout was exemplary, and this was without question the least stressful surgery experience we have had. We are extremely grateful to the nursing team.

Mr Robert Turner

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Initially I was very unsure about my condition, however, Mr. Turner provided reassurance that the condition of my hand could be fixed. Tests were carried out over the following month then surgery was suggested. The operation proved to be very successful and, despite being prepared for subsequent pain, I did not experience either pain nor discomfort at any point. Further to the surgery, Mr. Turner and colleagues provided after-care which was reassuring, professional and continued to ensure a speedy recovery.

Mr Nicholas Hodgins

Plastic Surgeon

Absolutely amazing surgeon. From consultation to surgery to post-op checkup. I was treated with dignity and kindness throughout my entire process. The personal interactions with the nursing team and Dr Hodgins have been brilliant, I felt like I was a person and not an object or a number. There was some miscommunication between River Medical and Fitzwilliam Clinic about the compression garment but soon cleared up and no issues whatsoever with any communication aside from that.

Mr Emanuele Garreffa

Breast Surgeon

I feel very fortunate to be under the care of Mr Garreffa. He is calm, personable, and always takes the time to make appointments feel unhurried and reassuring. He explains everything clearly and never makes you feel like a question is too small. What really stands out is how genuinely interested he is in you as a person, not just a patient. He has a natural way of putting you at ease, and every visit feels supportive and reassuring. I couldn’t ask for better ongoing care.

Associate Professor Anand Kelkar

Urologist

On arrival, I was anxious and terrified at the same time, and had been for some time after having a positive result of prostrate cancer ( 7 out of 10) also a bone scan, followed by a PET scan all taking time and stress level as you can imagine high, on meeting Mr Kalkar, he quickly got around to telling me all scans were clear and he confidently clear that I would be cured, my emotions were through the roof, most professional and caring person, thank you

My visit was well run with all preparations going smoothly. Apparently it was rather difficult to waken me after the operation and therefore had to remain overnight. I was told that I would be contacted approximately four weeks after, but this didn’t happen. I would have liked to have been explained the reason for the problem with my awakening as it might be useful should I need a general anaesthetic in the future.

The admin side of things was a bit bad. Had the wrong shoulder down for surgery and even though said it would be changed still had the wrong shoulder listed on day of surgery. Unfortunately I am in the process of compiling an official complaint regarding the nurse I had on the day of my surgery, worst nurse I have ever had in my 52 years on Thai earth. Truly awful and needs to be removed from the ward.
