Ms Laura Ismail

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Laura Ismail is truly an exceptional doctor and one of those rare professionals who redefine what outstanding medical care should feel like. She is, without question, the most knowledgeable and highly educated doctor I have ever met, yet what makes her remarkable goes far beyond her impressive expertise. From the very start of the consultation, she took the time to listen attentively and understand my concerns in depth. She explained everything with clarity and precision, taking great care to ensure that I fully understood every aspect. I arrived with a long list of questions, and she answered each one patiently and thoughtfully, never rushing, never minimising anything, and always making me feel heard. What impressed me most was the sense of reassurance she provided throughout the entire consultation. Dr Ismail has a rare ability to make you feel completely safe, supported, and confident that you are in the very best hands. I feel that she would never allow a patient to leave without feeling fully at ease, fully informed, and with a clear understanding of the treatment plan and next steps. Doctors like her are incredibly rare. Her unique combination of intelligence, thoroughness, empathy, and genuine dedication sets her apart. I cannot recommend Dr Laura Ismail highly enough to anyone seeking not only an exceptional doctor, but an exceptional human being.

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!!

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I had a meniscal tear repair on 20th January. I am really disappointed and dismayed with the conflicting advice I was given regarding physiotherapy. An hour prior to surgery, Brad the physio told me I would be fully weight bearing after the operation. After the surgery a different physio told me I could not weight bear for three weeks and had me up and about practising walking on crutches. She also put a leg brace on my leg which was locked. I wasn't told to unlock it. Therefore for 2 weeks post surgery I wasn't weight bearing and movement in my knee was restricted totally. Today I had my stitches out and my first physio session. Physio told me I should have been 50% weight bearing straight away and that my leg brace should have been unlocked to allow some movement. So three conflicting pieces of advice. I am really unhappy.

Mr Tim Bracewell-Milnes

Fertility Medicine, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I initially contacted Dr Tim feeling very unsure about the process of egg retrieval and freezing. From the outset, he was extremely approachable, friendly, and reassuring — it never felt like a formal or intimidating doctor’s appointment. He took the time to explain everything clearly and I particularly appreciated his personalised approach; he genuinely remembered our case and circumstances, which made the experience feel very individual and thoughtful. He was never pushy, which built a great deal of trust. His guidance gave both my partner and me real peace of mind and clarity on how to proceed. We later went ahead with the procedure at the Lister, where the team were excellent, and I had very positive results from just one cycle. I would highly recommend Dr Tim as he is knowledgeable and genuinely cares for his patients.

Dr Mokhtar Ibrahim

Cardiologist

Saw Dr Ibrahim in his private clinic in Nottingham. We discussed what had happened since he took me of the NHS waiting list for a pacemaker in October 2024. I had been free of any AF episodes for 15 months. Since the end of December 2025, I have had 2 short episodes of AF. He then explained that unless the episodes continued and affected my way of life, then there was no need for a pacemaker. He explained in detail the procedure for fitting a pacemaker. He reassured me that as long as I kept taking Apaxiban, then I was perfecting safe, even though my heartbeat ranged from 45 to 110. His professional and understanding approach, left me feeling that he had listened to me and that I felt much more confident in going forward, knowing that a pacemaker could be fitted when it was necessary.

Dr Ram Dhotarkar

Anaesthetist

I had nerve root block injections done by Dr Ram, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about my experience. From the very first appointment, Dr Ram took the time to really listen to my symptoms and explain the procedure in a way that made me feel informed and comfortable. The injections themselves were handled with incredible skill and care under local sedation..Dr Ram and the team were calm, reassuring, and professional the entire time. The procedure was much smoother than I expected, It’s rare to find a doctor who combines expertise with genuine compassion, but Dr.Ram does exactly that. I’m so grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend Dr Ram to anyone dealing with nerve pain. Thank You!

TMC (The Menopause Consortium) Midlands

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Apart from a reception that were unaware of their visitors - the building and facilities were excellent. Dr. Bradley is a practitioner who has a broad grasp of all areas of HRT treatment. Her extensive knowledge makes you feel very confident about the decisions you make with the doctors assistance. She is never rushed and allows extensive discussion about past and present research. I am extremely impressed by her professionalism. I left after my consultation feeling I had explored all the areas I had questions about but came away with a lot of new information.

Dr Piero Zollet

Ophthalmologist

Due to a complication following a Trebeculectomy, I did have some anxiety as to whether or not I would have normal sight again. Dr. Zollet was always very professional answering my questions and taking the time to explain, in terms I could understand, what outcomes were possible and the treatment he proposed. I found him very reassuring and someone I could trust. The outcome of his treatment is that my sight has normalized and whilst my eye pressure was unduly high it is hoped it will reduce over the coming weeks

Spire Manchester Hospital

Orthopaedic Surgery, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 11 more

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.

Miss Lucy Satherley

General Surgeon

My recent visit to see Miss Satherley was excellent. Her professional yet warm manner put me at ease and her explanations were informative and clear. It was an incredibly busy clinic but this did not impact on the excellent care I received. Miss Satherley’s team were kind, helpful and clearly respectful of each other. Their teamwork shone through and the leadership by Miss Satherley was admirable. Thank you for looking after me so well, in what was a nerve wracking clinic visit.

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

I visited the clinic to discuss removal of a lesion on my eyelid. Having spoken to the consultant Mt Murray I decided to have it removed. I returned two weeks later to have the surgery. All the staff were very supportive and took time to explain the whole procedure to me. In particular Jenny took great care of me and made sure I felt as relaxed as I could be. Everything went to plan and I would like to thank everybody that was involved.

Mr Tarek Abdel-Aziz

General Surgeon

Doctor Abdel Aziz is an amazing Doctor/Surgeon. Suffering from high anxiety, I was very nervous about the parathyroidectomy, but I honestly felt reassured, comfortable, and in safe hands from the initial visit to the day of the operation. I can only thank Doctor Abdel Aziz for his professionalism, care, attention and availability to answer all my questions and conduct the operation successfully.

Dr Chopra is professional, kind, and takes the time to listen, which makes a real difference. We’ve always felt well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the practice.
