Mr Khalid Malik

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to Mr Malik for the incredible results of my recent knee surgery. Before the procedure, I was struggling with a severely arthritic knee and a noticeable misalignment of my leg, both of which caused significant pain and impacted my quality of life. Mr Malik performed a total knee replacement using Mako robotic-arm assisted technology to ensure the highest level of precision in correcting my alignment. From the initial consultation through to the procedure itself, his expertise and professional manner gave me total confidence. The recovery process has been remarkably smooth—far better than I had anticipated. The outcome has been nothing short of life-changing; I now have an excellent range of movement in the joint with absolutely no pain. Perhaps most importantly to me, I am now able to walk completely naturally without a limp of any sort. I cannot thank Mr Malik enough for his skill and care. For anyone suffering from similar knee issues, I would highly recommend him and the robotic surgery route. It has truly given me my mobility back

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Emersons Green

Dentistry, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 6 more

I always have a good experience when visiting the practice. The staff are always friendly. However, on the last visit I think there are things you guys need to review. I was in for a gel injection into my knee which was being carried out by Mr Dehne in the theatre. He had previously confirmed that it would be a simple procedure and that after a short time I would be fine to drive home. However, on arrival it was clear that the team believed I was in for a knee replacement. I was shown to my own room, asked to select from the menu for the following day, and given medication that I assume I didn't require! Further more, the team were loathed to let me drive home and I had to wait a couple of hours until they could check with Mr Dehne that it would be ok as all the paperwork confirmed otherwise. The theatre staff were double checking with me the reason for my visit so there was a checking procedure in place but you may need to review why there was confusion in the first place.

Ms Stacey Strong

Ophthalmologist

I had a specific objective for booking a consultation about my eye issue with Ms Strong. I needed a medical professional to pull together an umbrella treatment plan of the several appointments, which I had running within the NHS system. I was not disappointed. Ms Strong is friendly, knowledgeable (medical as expected, but also how the NHS operates), straightforward and action-oriented. I was impressed by her use of a proprietary appointment and diagnosis reporting application, which she pays for herself as an add-on to her laptop software stack. Whilst the NHS is catching up in this area, this extra communication layer meant that letters and messages were disseminated to the various people who needed to know about and organise my NHS treatment plan going forward. Her excellent service gave me confidence about the future and put my mind at ease.

Daleswood Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I booked a consultation with Daleswood Aesthetics online and attended to discuss one of their treatments (Emsella). The treatment was explained fully and I booked a course of six treatments. I have had two treatments so far and I am very impressed with the level of service and how professional all of the team are. They pay attention to detail and ensure your experience with them is outstanding. The treatment rooms are clean, modern and impressive. The treatments they offer are leading edge and deliver results. After two sessions, I am already seeing results. They have a large waiting room and a good size car park. They have thought of everything to make your visit as easy and welcoming as possible. I highly recommend Daleswood Aesthetics.

UK Vein Clinic - Reading

Vascular Surgery

The assessment was very thorough but efficient at the same time. The team on-site put me at ease, demonstrated confidence in their abilities and ensured I understood the problem and potential next steps. The practical next steps (eg costs, timescale and dates) were not the focus of this appointment and therefore, at no point did I feel a pressure to commit. The focus was more on the calibre of staff who would manage my next procedure and we also discussed any medical concerns I had. I walked out of the session thinking why on earth have I held back so long on getting this treatment done! Thanks to the team both the Dr and Fabrizio were incredibly professional and welcoming.

Willow Health

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I have had various symptoms of perimenopause over the last year or so but it came to a head a few months ago when i had a severe panic attack and seemed to develop anxiety. I am finding this difficult to cope with and the GP didn't seem to help me. I met with Dr Colquhoun and she was lovely, provided me with alot of information and advice and took me and my symptoms seriously. As a result I now have a course of action and have had HRT prescribed and a coil fitted. Whilst this is all new to me, i am feeling very positive about this plan and hopeful that I can start to feel like myself again!

Mr Mohamed Abd Alazeez

Urologist

On November 17th, Mr. Mohamed Adb Alazeez performed a robotic proctectomy on me. Today, during my eight-week check-up, he informed me that I am cancer-free. Mr. Alazeez’s professionalism and personal approach have been exceptional. He guided me throughout the procedure and ensured that I received the best possible care, resulting in a remarkable and healthy outcome. His holistic approach has been exceptional, particularly in the manner in which he answered my pressing questions clearly and understandably. He has arranged my further 3 months check up

Miss Bethanie-Jayne Smith

Psychologist

Bethanie was great - very friendly, warm and engaging with Dulcie. She didn't make her feel daunted and very clearly explained what was going to happen but made it sound fun and interesting. She was patient and kind and recognised that if she asked Dulcie a question she didn't respond to, she should ask it in a different way. she was also very respectful in that she kindly asked me to try not to prompt Dulcie and allow her to answer and respond (which is a parents' natural reaction). I appreciated how diplomatically she approached this with me.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

I am very happy with my first experience at the Practice today. Everyone was relaxed and friendly. It was so reassuring to be certain I was seeing an actual medically qualified person (uncertain in todays NHS) whose judgement therefore I felt I could trust. Dr Ridout was very understanding and approachable - an attentive listener, carried out an objective examination and was happy to discuss it together with why she was suggesting the proposed treatment plan. I would definitely recommend this Practice.

Dr Duncan Birth

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I've been under Dr Duncan's care for the birth of both my daughters, and failed pregnancies in between. He and Colette have been incredibly supportive throughout our journey, and provided the reassurance that we needed during my most recent pregnancy with scans every fortnight. I had a second c-section in October, and everything went smoothly. My incision is neat, and healed quickly without issue. I really cannot recommend him enough.

Miss Lamia Zafrani

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Bit of a delay to be seen but it was a very busy clinic and is to be expected. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Miss Zafrani was a lovely lady who made me feel at ease and explained the procedure so well and answered any questions that I had. Hope to see her again for my C Section as she had a calming aura. Thanks 🙏 Jenna

Mr Ali Najefi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Najefi was very informative, he explained the steps he wanted follow and the reasons why. He gave clear explanations and was very welcoming of my thoughts and concerns. I left our consultation with a timeframe of actions going forwards which has helped reassure me. Could not recommend Mr Najefi enough, I feel in very safe hands

Mr Stavros Karamanakos

Surgery for cholecystectomy at Basildon Hosp. Cannot fault anything at all. Mr K explained everything & came to see me morning & night post op. Also had the pleasure of meeting Will, who alongside Mr K, had excellent bedside manner & ensured I was well looked after. Thank you both, I am extremely grateful to you.
