Mr Naren Basu

General Surgeon

I booked a. consultation with Mr Basu for Breast Implant Removal only. After researching him I felt assured he was extremely highly qualified and vastly knowledgeable in his profession. Upon meeting him I knew I had made the correct decision. During my consultation, Mr Basu listened intensively to my concerns with having my implants removed as they had been in situ for almost 21 years. I must stipulate, there was no underlying reason for removal of my implants other than I simply wanted them removed with no further augmentation required. Mr Basu discussed this with me in great detail advising me that I could change my mind if I was unsure at any time and also discussed the option to have a breast uplift in future, if I was not satisfied with the outcome. Mr Basu offered me time to go away and think about my final decision, arranged a mammogram and upon my next meeting, I confidently planned my procedure. My Medical History was complex, given I experienced Anaphylactic shock in theatre previously, have intolerance to general anaesthetic and required major blood transfusions in all of my previous spinal operations. I have a history of many drugs allergies which is seriously problematic for me with pain relief. I also have a Lung Condition and Spinal Fusion in situ with rods, pins, plates and a cage in my spine. I suffer with anorexia. Before, my surgery, I had a further consultation with Mr Basu, who arranged for me to see the Anaesthetist in order to obtain a detailed medical history should any complications arise in theatre. We discussed the need for my operation to take place The Priory Hospital, Birmingham, as they have ICU beds available, as this was a possibility, given my complex M/H. My operation was 7 November 2026. I saw Mr Basu and The Anaesthetist again before I went to theatre and we discussed any concerns and fully explained the procedure once again. Mr Basu and his team were fabulous. My stay at The Priory Hospital in Edgbaston, Birmingham was faultless. The superb care I received was second to none. I received incredible care during my stay. I ran into some complications a few hours later, with blood pressure and sickness issues, so it was decided best for me to stay overnight and I felt reassured I had professional care. I confidently returned home the following day, after discharge from Mr Basu. I unfortunately had a problem with my left breast wound, a week later, which required aspiration. I returned to Clinic for Consultation with Mr Basu and was seen a further twice before final discharge. During these visits, I felt completely assured by Mr Basu that all was well and always reiterated if I was concerned, I could contact him by email and his secretary anytime to arrange to see me in his next Clinic. I have had no further complications and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, 3 months post-op. Mr Basu is indeed a very welcoming, courteous, extensively knowledgable and truly professional Surgeon, whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone considering breast augmentation or breast issues. Given the complexity of my medical history I could not have asked for more thorough investigations and forward planning to have taken place before my operation and also with a courtesy follow up call after. Mr Basu is clearly a well-established Surgeon supported by a wonderful Team at both The Spire Hospital, Little Aston and The Priory Edgbaston, Birmingham. A great big Thank you for great quality care and expertise!

Mr Arun Prasath Shanmuganandan

General Surgeon

I had the pleasure of being treated by Arun at HCA at the Shard for an anal fissure, and I could not have asked for a better experience. From the very first appointment, his calm and reassuring presence made a stressful situation feel manageable. His bedside manner is exceptional. He combines professionalism with a warm sense of humour that instantly puts you at ease. It is rare to find a surgeon who can make you feel both understood and genuinely cared for, yet Arun does exactly that. He took the time to explain everything with clarity and patience, making sure I understood each step of my treatment. There was never any rush. Every question was welcome and answered in detail. What impressed me even more was how easy he was to communicate with outside of appointments. He remained accessible, responsive and supportive throughout the entire process. Arun recommended a colonoscopy to investigate things further, and I am grateful he did. The procedure was performed at London Bridge Hospital and, to my surprise, it truly was a breeze. The entire experience was smooth and far less daunting than I had anticipated, largely because I trusted him completely. Arun is not only an incredibly skilled surgeon but also a genuinely kind person who treats his patients with dignity, empathy and respect. I feel very fortunate to have been under his care and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking a colorectal specialist who combines expertise with humanity.

Dr Emanuela Manea

Paediatrician

I have now seen Dr Manea several times and have recommended her to many of my friends, who now also take their children to see her and absolutely love her. Having tried several other private paediatricians across London, there is a reason I always come back to Dr Manea and no one else. She genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. Her focus is entirely on her little patients and their wellbeing. She takes her time during consultations, asking all the necessary questions and often highlighting things you may not have considered. You never feel rushed. Instead, you feel listened to, supported, and truly cared for. She explains everything clearly and thoroughly, so you leave with a full understanding of the diagnosis and the next steps. You don’t feel like just another appointment in the diary — you feel like your child truly matters. As a new mum to a 4-month-old baby, that reassurance and level of care make all the difference. She empowers you with the knowledge and confidence to make the best decisions for your child. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Manea to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated paediatrician.

Miss Theodora Pissanou

General Surgeon

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Miss Pissanou after seeking her for a second opinion. From the very beginning, she was thorough, honest, and incredibly reassuring. She advised that while gallbladder removal was necessary, I should first prioritise a cyst on my kidney. She immediately referred me to an excellent surgeon who successfully removed the cyst, which unfortunately turned out to be cancerous. I am extremely grateful for her judgement and prompt action, which made all the difference. When it came to my gallbladder operation, Miss Pissanou was exceptionally informative, taking great care to explain all the risks and ensuring that both my wife and I fully understood the procedure. The surgery itself was very successful, and my recovery was remarkably quick. I cannot recommend Miss Pissanou highly enough for her professionalism, expertise, and outstanding patient care.

Dr Dinkar Bakshi

Paediatrician

Dr Bakshi is a gentle, kind, and excellent doctor. He took the time to truly listen to me and explained clearly why I am experiencing these reactions, as well as what the most appropriate course of treatment would be. I felt heard, reassured, and deeply validated. It is difficult to articulate what it feels like to live with unusual symptoms for years, to search for answers, to be doubted or dismissed, and then finally be met with understanding. Dr Bakshi treated me as a whole person, not as a problem or an anomaly, and that in itself was profoundly healing. I would unhesitatingly recommend Dr Bakshi to anyone seeking an expert immunologist with both exceptional clinical knowledge and a genuinely caring heart.

Mr Shantanu Gudsoorkar

Ophthalmologist

I recently underwent cataract surgery with Mr Gudsoorkar at Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital and am absolutely delighted with the outcome. From the first consultation, he provided a clear, detailed explanation of my options and recommended Alcon Clareon PanOptix trifocal toric lens implants to address both my cataracts and astigmatism. The surgery itself was quick and completely comfortable—I felt reassured throughout. Post-operative care was thorough, with attentive follow-up reviews and clear guidance at every stage. My vision is now excellent for both distance and near, and I rarely need glasses. I would highly recommend Mr Gudsoorkar to anyone considering cataract surgery.

I attended tonight for a scan of my hands with Dr Patterson. On arrival I was welcomed at reception, checked in quickly and asked to take a seat in the waiting room. Breda then came out and called me to attend the consultation room, introductions were made, and Dr Patterson then performed my scan, he was professional, and provided information relevant to my condition. The whole consultation was a pleasure and demonstrated the significance difference a private company can make to a struggling NHS. Thankyou both again for such a positive experience.

Mr Shahab Khan (Shad)

General Surgeon

Mr Khan completely put my mind at rest after I had received ambiguous medical advice. He described everything with clarity but also with kindness and understanding. I then understood the illness and the best way forward. I was treated with care and high standards by all the staff at New Foscote where I had the operation. His secretarial team have also been incredibly helpful. There is a definite and supportive follow-up plan with a genuine offer that I can get in touch any time. The surgery has been successful. Overall, an excellent experience.

Dear Natasha, Thank you for your brilliant service, as always. I always feel so relieved after our sessions. I used to be unsure about physiotherapy and had tried several physiotherapists before, but you have completely changed my opinion. When my doctor referred me to you, he was confident that I would be satisfied—and he was absolutely right. I will now be his mirror copy in recommending you to others. Thank you so much for helping me regain my strength and confidence. I am truly grateful for your support and encouragement.

Mr Vasileios Minas

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Minas performed an elective hysterectomy for me due to excessive fibroids and bleeding post menopause. He is very professional and obviously highly knowledgeable and extremely experienced. I felt like I trusted his advice. Everything went according to plan - even though the operation was quite difficult. I am now recovering very well and two weeks later I'm glad I went ahead with the procedure and am looking forward to being able to wear white trousers and sit on cream sofas without worrying any more! :-)

Miss Nair is incredibly thorough, warm and friendly, and explains everything clearly. She is very efficient, provides results and follow-up letters quickly, and is always clear about treatment plans and next steps. I also really appreciate the Carebit platform she uses, which makes it easy to access all results, letters and appointments in one place — it feels well organised and reassuring as a patient.

Thames Valley General Surgery

General Surgery, Medical Weight Loss

As this was my first operation, I chose to use my company BUPA beneft. From my first consultation through to my post-op check up, everything happened efficiently, and very quickly. All my questions and concerns were explained by my lovely consultant, Marianne Sampson, and I was well looked after by the nurses; they were wonderful. Highly recommend.

As soon as I entered the building I was greeted and assisted to my appointment by the front desk staff. I then checked in with the helpful and friendly receptionist. Followed by a smooth and gentle taking of my blood pressure. I then had my consultation with Dr. Dipesh Patel which was excellent.
