Miss Javeria Iqbal

General Surgeon

I would like to share my heartfelt experience with Miss Javeria Iqbal, because the care, skill, and compassion she has shown me throughout my breast cancer journey has been nothing short of life-changing. Being diagnosed with breast cancer was one of the most frightening moments of my life. Everything felt overwhelming — the uncertainty, the fear, the endless questions running through my mind. But the moment I met Miss Iqbal, something inside me shifted. She brought a calm, gentle reassurance that instantly put me at ease. She spoke to me with kindness, understanding, and total honesty, and from that first meeting I knew I was in the safest hands possible. Throughout every stage of my treatment, Miss Iqbal treated me with dignity and genuine care. She didn’t just explain things; she made sure I truly understood them. She listened to my worries, answered every question, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. She treated me as a person, not just a patient, and that made all the difference during such an emotional and challenging time. As for the surgery itself — I am still in complete awe. The results have been absolutely amazing, far beyond anything I could have hoped for. The precision, skill, and detail in her work are mind-blowing. I am so pleased and relieved with the outcome. She didn’t just operate on me; she helped give me back my confidence, my comfort, and a sense of myself that I thought I might lose. I will never be able to thank her enough for that. What stands out most about Miss Iqbal is not only her exceptional surgical expertise, but the compassion and warmth she brings to her work. She made me feel strong when I felt weak, supported when I felt scared, and cared for when I felt alone. She carried me through one of the hardest chapters of my life with kindness, patience, and unwavering professionalism. I will forever be grateful to Miss Javeria Iqbal and her incredible team. She has changed my life in ways I can’t fully put into words. If you are facing breast cancer and searching for a surgeon who is not only extraordinarily skilled but truly compassionate, I could not recommend Miss Iqbal more. She is exceptional in every way. Many thanks again Helen B and family x

Mr Mfazo Hove

Ophthalmologist

Mr Hove and the service provided at Blue Fin Vision is exceptional and world renowned!! I’ve had conjunctival naevi in both of my eyes since the age of 13 and they have been getting progressively worse over the years. I have always been conscious of them, and sought treatment with the NHS but was denied as it is a cosmetic treatment. Blue Fin provided me a fair quote and explained the process in detail via email. It was very simple to book my appointment and make the payment, and I was seen within 2 weeks of enquiry!! Upon meeting Mr Hove I soon understood why patients travelled across the world to see him. He is an extremely caring and professional clinician, who clearly strives to help his patients improve their quality of life and cure their ailments as best as possible. Post-operatively my eyes were significantly red for 5-10 days, which is something to bear in mind if you are planning on having this procedure. However, this was explained to me in emails and also when I consented on the day. Now, 12 days after my procedure my eyes are completely white and I feel a lot more confident and happy with their appearance. I cannot thank Mr Hove and the team at Blue Fin Vision enough!

Nuffield Health Highgate Hospital

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 14 more

I am a very active 51 year old man and Mr Atkinson fixed my medial meniscus tear which had been obstructing movement in my leg. After 8 weeks I am back swimming, practicing Yoga 5 times a week (all poses including deep squats and child pose) and I also started kick boxing again. I will be training jiu jitsu again in a week's time. I also climbed the stairs at Highgate tube station this week - all 100 of them - without any pain or locking. I had a very good experience with Mr Atkinson. From initial to final consultation I was very happy with the care given to me. In fact my girlfriend who is also a doctor was very impressed by Mr Atkinson's knowledge on a variety of questions she asked. He was very accommodating of her as well allowing her to talk to him on the phone and with me in my final consultation. I want to thank Mr Atkinson for putting me forward for this care, without this I would be struggling with my physical activities and now I have a new lease of life. Thank you so much.

Professor Yacoub Khalaf

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am currently undergoing IVF treatment with Professor Yacoub Khalaf at Guys Hospital in London. A few days ago Prof. Khalaf successfully collected 3 eggs, which I am very happy about. So far I am very impressed and completely satisfied with the high quality of medical care at the IVF clinic at Guys Hospital directed by Prof. Khalif. Previously I have undergone IVF treatments at one NHS and two private clinics in London, and I can confidently say that the integrity, honesty and personal care I have received from Prof Khalaf is exceptional, and well beyond that of the other clinics. The staff is well trained, and the process has been very efficient and easy. Unlike the other clinics they have not prescribed unnecessary medication or unnecessary scans. As a result the experience at Guys has been less emotionally and physically intrusive. My husband and I can recommend Prof Khalaf very highly.

Mr Divyang Shukla

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Shukla originally saw me as a private patient in order to relieve the pain in my left shoulder. He gave me a pain reliving injection and advised me that I really needed an operation to solve the problem. He offered to write to my GP and ask him to refer me back to Mr Shukla as an NHS patient for the necessary operation. Subsequently I had an X-Ray and an MRI scan on the shoulder. Yesterday Mr Shukla saw me having seen the X-Ray and scan results and advised me that instead of a shoulder replacement op. he recommended that he carry out a key-hole operation to remove a piece of bone on the shoulder which was causing me pain and also to repair two damaged tendons. This I have agreed to and I now await a date for the op. Mr Shukla is very courteous, kind and re-assuring and also explains what the problem is and what is the best way to resolve the problem.

Deia Health

General Practice (GP)

I initially booked in to see Dr Lafina as I wanted to be more proactive with my health and wellbeing. She provides a fantastic service, where she brings great professionalism, expertise, attention to detail to the individual in front of her, and genuine care. Everything you'd want from someone overlooking your general health. With regards to my own health screening, the whole process was extensive but very smooth and I was quickly provided actionable outcomes. The overall clinic experience was great, the clinic staff were very welcoming and helpful and the clinic space was of high standard. As someone into their health and fitness, and as a practitioner in a different field of the health and wellness industry, I would highly recommend Deia Health and Dr Lafina.

Mr Mark Farndon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr M Farndon is an outstanding orthopedic Consultant. I have been his patient since he operated my disabling Morton’s neuroma (schwanomma) on my foot 11 years ago which gave back my ability to walk painless. His expertise , kindness and communication skills are what you look for in a specialist. I recently visited him due to a knee problem and again I had a clear diagnosis and a sensible plan to follow. I have highly recommended him to my patients and close family members. If you need an expert and sensible opinion about anything related to orthopedic issues, he is the person to come and see. Thanks again Mark !! Dr L Idrovo,

Mr Noaman Sarfraz

General Surgeon

I had my annual review with Mr Sarfraz, I’m on year 4 since my diagnosis. For such a difficult time, it is a joy to visit him. I have absolute confidence in his skill and professionalism. The physical exam provides me with huge reassurance. He listens to what I and my husband need to share and answers our questions clearly. It is also nice to have a general catch up about life and what we have all been up to since our last appointment. I honestly do not know what I would do if I had to have my reviews with someone different. An amazingly authentic individual with integrity.

Mr Edward Lee

Ophthalmologist

I saw Mr. Lee for an eye issue and was absolutely impressed with his professionalism, expertise, and patient approach. Especially after a disappointing experience with another consultant, Mr. Lee’s clear and concise explanations immediately put me at ease. He was incredibly thorough, reassuring, and attentive to all my concerns. I left feeling completely confident in his care and would not hesitate to see him again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Lee to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and exceptional consultant.

Mr Padmanabh Phaltankar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Absolutely brilliant, from the moment i had the pre-op all the staff from the reception right upto and including the surgeon Mr phaltankar are great - they put you at ease the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out and considering I had a full knee replacement I didn’t think I would walking so well even with crutches and after four weeks I didn’t need them the procedure was that good. My thanks to all the staff at highfield hospital and a special thanks to Mr phaltankar who gave me my mobility back.

The Staff were amazing, sadly I had bloods and collapsed, Margaret and her team was brilliant and got me back to normal. I can't remember all the details but I know they was very worried about me and jumped into action very quickly. They didn't let me go till I was better. I really wish I knew the name of the lady who was fanning me and talking to me as she was brilliant and I hope they get to see this message. Thank you so much for looking after me. Richard

I had a very good experience, the staff were polite and welcoming.. The imaging receptionist was very efficient, she prepared the requested copy of my MRI disc and sent it to me to the 3rd floor.. My consultant Mr Ulbricht is excellent in every way. He listened to my questions and answered them patiently , he explained my MRI results clearly to me without rushing me. He is very kind and caring. I am really grateful to him for his outstanding care.

After my second diagnosis of breast cancer, Miss Summerhayes & her team were amazing through the mastectomy and after care.

I now look forward to seeing her at my 6 monthly check ups Thank you Hampshire Breast Clinic for your continued support & care.
