Mr Alex Leo

General Surgeon

I had severe haemorrhoid problems which had not cleared with over the counter medication or prescribed medication. Mr Leo identified the problem and attempted a banding to avoid intrusive surgery which was not successful and so a haemorrhoidectomy was preformed. There was a follow up as some skin tag and marginal inflammation occurred. Steroid treatment was prescribed and second follow up took place. The haemorrhoids were completely resolved as was the skin tag problem. The area concerned is now better than it has been in my lifetime. On each occasion Mr Leo was excellent in manner and explanation. His advice was based on excellent diagnosis and succinct. He sought to avoid unnecessary treatment and medication, but which in fact proved necessary. He was extremely efficient and speedy without being peremptory. All in all someone I would recommend for any colorectal issues.

Dr. Ricardo Jose

Respiratory Doctor

I am a medical doctor myself and so have an idea of what good quality care looks like and Dr Jose is excellent. He is caring, detail-oriented and highly evidence-based in his assessment and individualized treatment planning. My case was a bit of an outlier in that I had a lung infection that is very rarely seen for my age and baseline level of fitness and so I was essentially passed over by the NHS and another physician because I seemed not sick enough for more definitive treatment and investigations despite my complaints that I was not getting better and expressing that something was not right within myself. Dr Jose listened and gave me the inpatient treatment, thorough investigations and outpatient follow-ups that I needed for curative treatment and I am now back to my healthy normal self. I’m very grateful for his care and would highly recommend him.

Mr Nigel Hall

Paediatric Surgeon

I arranged to see Mr Hall after my daughter was showing signs of tongue tie. I had her assessed by the IOW midwife specialist at 4 weeks and they informed me my daughter had no tie. After 7 more weeks of matters getting worse I was referred to Southampton by NHS but when I found out the waiting time I booked myself in to see Mr Hall who could see me within 3days of my initial contact! A tongue tie was located and procedure performed there and then. With minimal distress with my daughter and I. There was immediate feeding benefits and physically seeing my daughter move and use her tongue better. Hopefully this is a road back to breastfeeding full time without the need to keep pumping. I wish I had followed my instincts and made enquires to book sooner. All health visitors should have his details to pass on!

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

The staff were lovely, so kind and understanding which has been thoroughly appreciated. However, some frustration noted around wait times. While it is appreciated that diagnostics are a lengthy process and take time, I found issues where my assessments were delayed due to Skylight not having all the information from the forms I had already completed, and after submitting my forms I was not told that all of the information had not been received until I reached out and chased my application due to the time frames I was given being overdue. To improve this experience, more communication on what has and hasn’t been received would improve the experience and shorten some people’s wait times, as my wait time was partially increased due to lack of communication over forms I had or hadn’t filled in.

Abbington House

Holistic Therapy, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I walked into Abbington House at rock bottom physically and mentally. The staff were very friendly, understanding, caring and reassuring. Making me feel calm and at ease. I have made significant progress and I am leaving a different person with new tools and knowledge to help me succeed on the journey. The Abbington House clients made me feel welcome and included, extremely friendly and I am grateful to have made many friends in the 5 weeks I have been here. My incredible therapist listened, un-judgmental and emphatic to me, who's care was brilliant and I will not forget the unreplaceable advice given to me. My advice from a former patient here is if you are wiling to work hard for your recovery, you have all the tools, great professionals and environment available to you.

ObGyn Matters

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I was scheduled for a laparoscopic bilateral cystectomy. My disappointment stems from a critical failure in communication immediately prior to surgery.Minutes before the procedure, and while already prepped, I was informed by an unfamiliar doctor—not my primary gynecologist —that a bilateral salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal) was being added to the plan. This major change, involving the removal of a reproductive organ, was sprung on me at the most vulnerable moment, leaving absolutely no time to process this significant loss or ensure fully informed consent. It felt as though my fallopian tubes were taken without my proper agreement. A change in procedure of this magnitude must be communicated well in advance, not moments before surgery.

The Agora Clinic

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, + 1 more

Nurse caused me to bruise during a painful blood test. I always have trouble with veins appearing during tests and told the nurse which one tends to work the best; nurse insisted on going for a different one, causing pain and bruising. Nurse also used clumsy and offensive language when talking about another patient: “A man came in the other day - he’s a ‘they’ - he…”. Given that your clinic markets your service extensively to trans and non-binary people, I find it surprising that your staff wouldn’t see a problem with openly and deliberately misgendering a customer. Please do better to avoid making customers like me feel alienated.

Kingsbridge Diagnostic and Treatment Centre

Diagnostics & Testing, Gastroenterology, + 4 more

Had Cataracts removed in July and then September the staff and Dr Jothi was excellent and couldn’t wish for any better care, follow up phone calls on the day after to check if all was ok such a great procedure on both occasions and no pain at all as everything was explained. The eye sight is now great with all the colours all being clear and now I just need reading glasses to see stuff up close ,have worn glasses for the past 60 years and find it funny not having to were glasses permanently. I would thourghly recommend KingsBridge and their staff as all was very kind and looked after your needs on every visit, One thing no pain .

Somnowell - Snoring & Sleep Apnoea Help

Dentistry, Dermatology, + 3 more

Got my Somnowell mouth guard fitted at Causeway Dental in Teddington. Highly recommend the dentist. She was great. The guard really does work if I’m sleeping on my side. My partner and I now sleep together in the same bed! I’ve had the guard for about 6 months- don’t wear it every night as we don’t live together. It does feel a bit weird to wear but I have got used to it. It’s not so useful when I’m on my back as I tend to breathe through my mouth and will snore then. This Somnowell information does address this issue. I would really recommend it - and have - if you snore a lot and have sleep apnea as I do. It really works.

Mr Stavros Karamanakos

General Surgeon

Mr. Karamanakos is one of the kindest and most compassionate doctors I’ve ever met. I was extremely anxious about having my gallbladder removed, but he was so patient, understanding, and reassuring every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me see why the surgery was truly necessary. Thanks to his skill, care, and kindness, I now feel like I’ve been given my life back. I can’t put into words how grateful I am for what he’s done for me. He’s not only an incredible surgeon, but also a genuinely caring human being, and I will always be thankful for the difference he’s made in my life.

Spire Liverpool Hospital

General (Internal) Medicine, Cardiology, + 17 more

I would not choose Spire as a private patient. The nursing staff were fabulous but the overall experience was poor. I feel that since they now take 80% nhs patients then the overall standards have dropped. After my operation I ordered an evening meal that didn’t materialise and after starving for over 24 hours was able to get a chicken sandwich eventually. The breakfast was quite simply atrocious. Cold scrambled egg, awful tea, toast inedible due to being soggy. I recently had emergency surgery at Taunton NHS hospital and they were far superior to this hospital.

Spire Portsmouth Hospital

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), General (Internal) Medicine, + 8 more

I would highly rate not only my visit today with Mr Gowda but the whole hip replacement process, which for me was very daunting never having had any kind of surgery at all in my 69 years, save for wisdom teeth removal. He was professional and courteous and I felt in very safe and knowledgeable hands. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Gowda to anyone contemplating hip replacement surgery.

Mr Giles Bond-Smith

General Surgeon

Extremely efficient, hospital was clean and the food was of excellent quality. I was seen by the operating team almost immediately after my admission and was given clear instructions by them as the how the day would pan out. Care was great, nothing felt too much for the team. The nurses were kind and patient, not rushing around and stressed out which always makes nhs settings feel so chaotic.

Mr Suroosh Madanipour

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Fantastic work done by Dr. Madanipour and his team. Double total knee operation and I was up and walking without sticks at home within days. 6 weeks later and I am off medication and walking normally. Thank you so much to the whole team and I hope you received the cards my my two children, also the German bottle.

Mr Jeremy Latham

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Excellent consultation, Mr Latham has a very warm and considerate manner. Took time to explain everything in detail and was very thorough in history taking and physical examination. Holistic approach, wide discussion of general health issues. Did not feel rushed. Would highly recommend.

Mr Stuart J McGimpsey

Ophthalmologist

Professional and pleasant and responded clearly and concisely to my queries at the initial consultation. On the day of the procedure checked there were no concerns and explanation of the next steps provided reassurance. Theatre atmosphere was both relaxed and efficient.
