In August 2025, due to the long delays at Luton and Dunstable, they offered for me to be seen as an NHS patient at One Stop (OSD) Clinic at Hemel Hempstead, where I was seen by Dr Mittel. Following a consultation, he advised that I be referred back to L&D for a hysterectomy (he could not do overnight procedures at his clinic) and prescribed Ryeqo, a medication that suppresses ovarian function and includes HRT. However, I was not provided with a NHS prescription for Ryeqo, as Dr Mittel did not have the necessary NHS prescription pad and advised that it must come from an NHS consultant. I have since discovered that my GP is unable to prescribe Ryeqo and that this must indeed be handled by a hospital consultant. I am unable to afford this medication privately, as it costs approximately £100 per month. With no consultant to prescribe the medication on the NHS, I am therefore left without treatment and unclear as to whether I am even on the waiting list for a hysterectomy. To add to my distress, my interactions with Dr Mittel have been upsetting. During our initial consultation, when I asked about potential side effects of Ryeqo, he responded inappropriately by laughing and comparing the risks to getting on a bus or plane. He failed to explain that only a consultant could prescribe the medication on the NHS, and I had to research this information myself. He also failed to talk me through any of the potential side effects which again I have now researched myself. At a subsequent appointment for a hysteroscopy, when I attempted to raise my concerns about still not being able to get the NHS Ryeqo prescription (as advised by his secretary), he dismissed the issue, saying it was not the right time to discuss it. Instead, he began venting his frustrations about NHS inefficiencies and his personal issues with parking as a consultant. This unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour left me extremely upset and in tears just prior to undergoing the procedure. Although he later apologised, stating he was “stressed,” this is not the level of care I expect or deserve as a patient and I wonder if I was his private patient as opposed to an NHS patient his manner would have been the same.

Dr. James Noake is not only a phenomenal doctor but also a truly exceptional person. His clinical expertise, commitment, and compassion enabled me to achieve something that had once felt impossible, and I will be forever grateful for his care. I had been training for seven months to take on a double marathon in memory of my brother, who tragically took his own life just over a year ago. The run meant everything to me — not just as a personal challenge, but as a way to honour him and raise money for The Hunchman Trust, a charity that supports young people navigating grief, especially after suicide. By the time race day was in sight, I had already raised £28,000, and the weight of expectation — from myself and from those supporting me — felt enormous. Seventeen days before the event, disaster struck. I was injured, and despite visits to a physio, I was in terrible shape. With less than two weeks to go, I was convinced my dream was over. It was then that my physio referred me to Dr. James Noake, who, upon hearing my story, went to great lengths to fit me into his schedule. My case was complicated. I had an inflamed Kager’s fat pad and a trapped sural nerve, problems made even harder to diagnose because of a previous ankle reconstruction back in 2019. Where others had struggled, Dr. Noake immediately identified the issue. The very next morning, he came in early to give me the treatment and injections I desperately needed. What happened next felt nothing short of remarkable. Days earlier I had been ready to give up, certain I’d have to withdraw from the race. Instead, with Dr. Noake’s expertise and guidance, I was not only able to start but to finish the double marathon. Throughout the event, he made himself available, checking in, offering advice, and guiding me on what I could and couldn’t do to protect myself. Thanks to him, I was able to cross that finish line and, more importantly, honour my brother’s memory in the way I had hoped.

From the moment I met Mr. Duffy, I knew I was in the right place. He immediately understood me - not just as a patient, but as a runner - and how important running is to my identity and well-being. Running is a huge part of my life, so finding a surgeon who truly understood was essential. Mr Duffy’s patient-first approach stood out. Despite being a surgeon, he didn’t rush to recommend surgery. Instead, we agreed to explore non-surgical options first, which really reflected his integrity, empathy, and commitment to doing what’s best for the person in front of him. When I later chose to go ahead with an arthroscopy. Mr. Duffy saw me both before and after the procedure on the day, which was incredibly steadying. The initial day-to-day recovery was remarkably quick, and although the longer-term recovery has required more patience and strength, I was back to some level of running just four weeks later. I’m incredibly grateful for Mr. Duffy’s care, understanding, and the trust he inspired from day one. He and his team (special thanks also to Lauren, whose support helped me feel confident about the decision to proceed with surgery) have made a real difference in my journey back to running for good.

Urology, Orthopaedic Surgery, + 6 more

The staff at Princess Grace Hospital were outstanding from start to finish. From pre-op to the pre-surgery waiting area, everything was explained clearly, including how patients are triaged, which really put me at ease. The level of support was exceptional; physio, dietitian input, and timely pain management were all seamlessly provided. I was also impressed by the technology, such as the pump to prevent blood clots, which gave me extra reassurance since I have predisposition to Deep Vein thrombosis. I would like to give special thanks to my anesthesiologist, Dr. Chan, who was excellent, and to every single nurse who cared for me; there were too many to name, but they were all amazing, including the night assistant who was always available the moment you ranged. Even the food exceeded expectations. It felt like 5-star dining, with healthy, abundant options that made recovery more comfortable. After many surgeries elsewhere, I can honestly say I’ve never had such a positive hospital experience. Princess Grace sets a remarkable standard of care.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

Last year I had the cataract in my right eye removed in Moorfields Private Eye Clinic. The consultant, Mr Vincenzo Maurino, was calm, professional and very kind. He immediately put me at ease. I felt strongly I could place complete trust in his care. Everything was explained clearly, and the whole process was handled with such skill and reassurance. A few months ago, when my optician told me that I needed the cataract removed in my left eye, I didn’t have any hesitation and booked an appointment with Mr Maurino at Moorfields. Once again, the care and professionalism were outstanding. Everyone on the staff was so good and helpful. The nurses were very kind, efficient and thoughtful. They even offered tea and biscuits afterwards (perhaps the best biscuits I’ve ever had)! Very soon after the surgery, my vision has improved so much that the world has become clearer. I am very grateful for the wonderful treatment I received.

Mr Parkash Lohana

Plastic Surgeon

I did a lot of research on surgeons before I settled on Mr Lohana, his 5* reviews drew me towards him, and I was not disappointed. From the initial appointment he made me feel at ease, everything was explained in detail, and he gave me his email in case I had any other questions, 8 weeks later I was in surgery for an arm lift, now 6 weeks on I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The incision is so precise and the scar so well hidden, I now have thin arms again. The aftercare I received from the nurses and staff at both Ross Hall Hospital and Ross Hall Clinic was top notch, nothing was too much trouble for them, such lovely nurses. I could not recommend Mr Lohana enough, he has a lovely bedside manner and is very friendly, and good at explaining everything anyone researching a surgeon should stop when they find him, they will not be disappointed.

Infiniti Healthcare

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I arrived early as I had been unsure of the volume of traffic at that time of day. I saw my consultant at the time that I had expected to see her. The consultation was exactly as I would have expected from previous visits...she was kind and polite and every inch a professional. She was clear in her explanations, asked my views on the treatment and answered every question clearly. The procedure required that I remained on site for a while and, when it became necessary, she saw me again to revisit the treatment plan. A totally helpful experience and I have no reservations in recommending both the Nuffield and my consultant to friends and family.

I honestly don’t think words can capture just how special the experience was. Everything felt incredible—from the first booking and clear information to the way it was all tailored to me. The whole process flowed so seamlessly. But what truly makes it unforgettable is the people. The team gave me hope at a time when I had none, and that’s something I’ll never forget. And on a slightly greedy note… the food was absolutely exceptional! Please keep on doing the amazing work you do—you really are making such a difference.

Mr Faz Pakarian

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

My experience with Mr Pakarian was 5* from my first appointment to going through two surgeries with him. He is calming and patient and takes time to explain everything in detail so you know exactly what is being done. I would highly recommend Mr Pakarian to any woman who had gynaecological issues. My appointments were on time and Mr Pakarians Secretary will also get you in as soon as she is able to. They are a great team and nothing is too much for either of them, the patient care is first class.

Mr Edward Britton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can not find the correct words to verbalise my experience throughout. I have felt 100% confident in the total care package provided to me through Nuffield care it has been excellent. I have felt safe, included, informed at every stage. Where I continue my recovery 100% confident that the quality of my life has been Improved. It is with exception to Mr Britton that I like to express my gratitude for the professional care that I have received. Thank you Mr Antony Welborn

Mr Lilly is an outstanding ENT specialist. From our first visit he led with empathy and clear communication. He took the time to explain every step. It was clear he specialises in children’s ENT, and having seen other doctors he was the best by far. We felt heard and supported from diagnosis through surgery and follow up. Our daughter is now breathing comfortably and the change is remarkable. I cannot thank Mr Lilly enough.

Mr Shahbaz Malik

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My shoulder was unstable following dislocation. I saw Mr Malik at Spire Worcester where he recommended non-surgical treatment which did not quite work. He recommended surgery, Latarjet which was done few months ago. My shoulder is back to being stable and I am confident in doing all things. Many thanks to Mr Malik and team for looking after me. I am very happy with his care.

Dr Daniel Kaitiff

Psychiatrist

Dr Kaitiff is an extremely fabulous consultant. He truly cares about his patients and is calm and has an ability to allow you to communicate under difficult circumstances and establish a good consultant /patient relationship which is so important in a promising outcome. I would therefore highly recommend Dr Kaitiff .

Ms Sarah Addison

General Surgeon

I can’t recommend Sarah highly enough. I’ve had an initial appointment and follow-up procedure with Sarah and throughout she was thorough and reassuring. She talked me clearly through all options and I always felt totally informed at each step. Thank you, Sarah for putting me at such ease and for your excellent care.

CP+R

Cardiology, Sports & Exercise Medicine

The assessor was lovely and encouraging. I do feel the format is unnecessarily stressful and the machines appear archaic. There is always a problem getting the heart rate monitor to link. The face mask tastes of public swimming pool and hinders breathing. On the other hand the data gained is invaluable.

Mr Olumuyiwa O. Olubowale

Breast Surgeon

Definitely 5 start would recommend mr olumuyiwa from start to finish he was so helpful and understanding and help me understand everything. such a lovely man told him what I wanted and he do everything I asked for happy with my outcome and feel so much better thank you so much
