Dr John Philip O'Dwyer

Neurologist

I have had two appointments with Dr John O'Dwyer to date. On each occasion his compassionate, reassuring and attentive manner made me feel relaxed and heard - by listening carefully, asking perceptive questions to fully understand my situation, and by giving me ample time to think before I replied. In turn he responded to my questions with appropriate detail and language for me to fully appreciate the underlying causes of my symptoms. He had remembered me from my initial appointment so I could go straight into the second appointment without the need to recap previous information. Dr O’Dwyer sent his follow up letters in a timely manner which reflected an accurate, complete and articulate summary of our appointments; during the first visit I had asked him to document one of his specific statements, and he had remembered to do so. I have had many interactions with medically trained professionals through both my work as an auditor in clinical trials and of course as a patient, and it was refreshing to have been treated so well and provided with such high quality documentation.

One Ashford Hospital

Audiology, Cardiology, + 22 more

I visited the hospital to see an orthopaedic surgeon after having a fall at work and damaging my knee. I have had issue with it since the accident I suffered at work.I was advised to lodge a claim with my employers insurance. This I did because of the problems I am having with my knee. I was sent to see this gentleman so he could assess the damage to my knee. I was treated as if I was only there because I was lodging a claim and to have recompense for the damage I suffered and still am. He seemed very abrupt and I felt as though I was cross examined over the form I had filled in regarding my injury. I left the room feeling like I had done something extremely bad and wrong. I have never had to go through this scenario and very much hope not to have to go through another. I am a patient who has an injury that I am advised my a consultant needs an operation yet I was treated though I was feigning injury. I do not feel valued having attend at the one hospital.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, Dermatology, + 21 more

I had an excellent experience at the Lindo Wing. Everyone (midwives, baby doctors, anaesthesiologists) were exceptionally calm, supportive, and reassuring throughout my stay. Every step was clearly explained, and all questions were answered with patience and care. Even with the smallest concern about my baby’s health, a neonatologist was promptly invited to carry out a full assessment, which gave me great peace of mind. I was also supported with my baby’s breast attachment immediately in the delivery room, which was incredibly helpful. The rooms are very well equipped, and during delivery both my and my baby’s heart rates were continuously monitored and carefully assessed. After the birth, we received ongoing guidance on next steps, and both my baby’s and my own health were checked frequently and thoroughly.

Ms Evgenia Anikina

Ophthalmologist

Absolutely brilliant service all round, from the appointments system to the Eye Specialist consultation. Imagine what it would be like if we had a strong economy with enough money to properly fund the NHS, and refurbish the RBH : ) The present long waiting times is nobody's fault, but when needed, in my experience the NHS always responds quickly and professionally to emergencies, and the routine stuff eventually gets done to the same high standard, which is pretty good under the circumstances.. You can tell that the staff are under serious pressure, but generally they still manage a smile. In summary, they are providing a fantastic service, thank you NHS and Evgenia Anikina. David H

Mr Ravi Ray

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot thank Ravi Ray enough. I had my shoulder issue for nearly 30 years, with GPs constantly failing me and not giving me the right investigations to see what's wrong and saw Ravi Ray once, had an MRI and he knew straight away what needed doing and got it done. I'm now almost 8 weeks post op and it's been a real game changer. Just the rehab of building an extremely weak shoulder up now after 30 years of neglect. Ravi is one of if not the nicest, friendliest consultants I've ever seen and the only one who really showed he cared and that he wanted to help. I honestly will never have the words to thank him

Spire Cheshire Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 17 more

Dr A Ashish has cared for me for over 12 months and has been outstanding throughout my treatment. He is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable, and has played a key role in my diagnosis and ongoing management of bronchiectasis and asthma. He has a lovely manner — always clear, kind, and considerate — and takes the time to listen, answer questions, and put me completely at ease. Each appointment ends with a clear and well-thought-out management plan, which gives me real confidence between reviews. Dr Ashish is an excellent consultant and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him. Thank you.

Miss Adriana Kovacova

Cosmetic Doctor, Ophthalmologist

I found the whole experience of surgery with Dr. Kovacova to be extremely reassuring. I was relatively nervous about the ptosis op, she gave clear and considered information on what I should expect and the related risks before the op but was careful to explain that it was a relatively routine procedure that put me at ease. During the op she talked to me throughout, making me feel calm and relaxed. During my follow up appointment she was very friendly and explained the best course of action for healing. All in all, Dr. Kovacova ensure an extremely positive experience of surgery.

GenesisCare Nottingham

Oncology

I was anxious and didn't know what to expect during my SABR treatment for Prostate Cancer, but during the Planning Scans, it was explained to me what would happen and how to prepare for the treatments. Every stage was well organised, professional, and caring. A dedicated team looked after me very well. The car organised by Genesis picked me up for my appointments, with the same driver each time, making me feel at ease. The treatment sessions were comfortable throughout. I am very grateful to the team who looked after me so well.

Mr Dominic Davenport

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I met with Mr Davenport to discuss my options in respect of potential knee replacement surgery. He confirmed my expectation that surgery would be necessary. Mr Davenport performed my surgery successfully at the beginning of January 2025 and four weeks later I am well advanced in my physiotherapy programme, ahead of where I might expect to be. I have found Mr Davenport to be friendly, professional and an extremely knowledgeable and skilful surgeon. I am very happy to recommend his professional services.

Woodthorpe Hospital

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 12 more

I had a two night inpatient stay recently after having fairly major surgery at The Woodthorpe Hospital. The individual and quality care I received from my Surgeon, Anaesthetist and Nursing staff made my experience a very positive one. The room was well equipped and the food was good, with every need catered for. Special thanks for making allowances and letting me stay until late in my room on day of discharge. I would definitely recommend this hospital for an overall positive experience.

This was a visit for a small filling. I was apprehensive as usual at the thought of a dentist appointment, but i was made to feel at ease by the friendly staff. The wait time was very short on this day and the whole treatment from start to finish was quick and pain free. The dentist Levi and his assistant were very relaxed, friendly and professional. Thank you

Mr Mazin Ibrahim

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I’m extremely grateful to Mr Mazin Ibrahim for my tibial plateau surgery. His care and communication were exceptional—he was consistently reachable and followed up closely in the weeks after the operation. It’s exceptional to have such great medical attention with such a friendly personality. I felt genuinely supported throughout and would highly recommend him.

Every visit and every interaction has always been absolutely brilliant. Every person at YDS is knowledgeable, kind and approachable and now trips to the dentist aren’t something to be feared!

Dr. Pragati Kakkar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I found Dr Kakkar friendly, professional and it wa easy to explain my concerns to her. She outlined what she was going to do in the visit, the results she found and relayed the relevant information to my GP. She gave me the reassurance that I needed and I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending and revisiting her as necessary.
