Mr Sacheen Kumar

General Surgeon

I had an excellent experience with Mr Sacheen Kumar as part of a coordinated operation involving three surgeons all completing separate procedures. From the outset, he was highly professional, approachable, and reassuring. He took the time to provide a clear and detailed overview of the procedure he would be performing and patiently answered my long list of questions without ever making me feel rushed. What truly stood out was his commitment to patient care. Mr Kumar went above and beyond to align his schedule with the other two surgeons, working late into the evening, to ensure the operation could proceed as planned. Despite heading off on holiday shortly afterwards, he still made the effort to visit me post the operation over the weekend. This level of dedication and professionalism was greatly appreciated and made a significant difference to my overall experience. I would highly recommend Mr Kumar.

Hospital was dirty. Room was dirty. Was provided with a pillow that was fully stained yellow on one side with no pillow cover. One of the nurses saw it when he turned it over but I had already been lying on it for hours. Went to the surgery without any pillow only to wake up to another stained pillow without any cover. Found a toenail on the bed. Very unhygienic and was not comfortable. Staff were ok. Food received was not what I ordered, so left without eating anything. Will only be coming back for my second operation because it is the surgeons only practice that is close to where I live, otherwise would not be returning. Hygiene is most important in these environments and it was not to par at all. Worse than NHS.

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.

Avenues

I have used Avenues for a cycle of IVF/ICSi, a hysteroscopy and then FET. I was under the care of De Ali Al Chami and became pregnant with the first transfer, having 3 failed attempts elsewhere. Dr Al Chami changed my protocol (both stimulation and transfer protocol). This places is miles apart because it guarantees continuity of care and patients are treated as people. dr Ali is a wonderful person and he cares about his patients. The midwives (Marina Christina Katie Fiona Emily Starvula) are all amazing and know each patient by name and treated me with warmth, dignity, compassion and professionalism.

Dr. Ziad Farah

Rheumatologist

Dr Ziad Farah is professional yet personable. He studied my case in detail and was able to provide reassurance on how my treatment was going. He is incredibly responsive and fast acting - I have never experienced this before but I am so grateful for this as he was able to act quickly on my case which has been prolonged for months. He provided me with the right referrals, quickly. Most of all, he was one of the first specialists to take his time and listen to me in detail and was very understanding and empathetic. Thank you Dr Farah, your help has been greatly appreciated!

Mr Muzaffar Ali Anwar

Vascular Surgeon

I had both of my legs treated by Dr Anwar and I would highly recommend him to family and friends for any procedures they may be considering. He was extremely clear and explained everything in detail, which made me feel completely relaxed throughout the procedure. Dr Anwar consistently checked in on me to ensure I was comfortable, and I really appreciated how attentive and caring he was. He truly listens to his patients and creates a personalised plan, which made the whole experience even better. A fabulous surgeon who delivers an A-class service — well worth it.

Mr Shivakumar Shankar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had recent knee surgery carried out by Mr Shankar , every bit of the process was clearly explained by himself from my 1st consultation up to the final check up. His professionalism is above and beyond. On the day of the surgery he came to see me and again went through the procedure, after I came out of surgery and come around I could straight away feel the difference, 4 weeks on and I feel like a new person. It has gave me back freedom to carry out every day activities. I would like to thank Mr Shankar and his team.

Mr Gavin Macpherson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Macpherson was incredibly approachable and very helpful - my surgery was for a full hip replacement. He went over the options and the surgery was agreed. Mr Macpherson was particularly helpful when my surgery had to be postponed from the initial appointment date due to unfortunate and unconnected circumstances. Everything was explained very well to me and email communication was always prompt and informative. I have had a very positive experience and am very grateful to Mr Macpherson and the rest of his team

Very happy to see Miss Fraser 6 weeks after my fascial sling which has completely stopped my stress incontinence . I'm pleased to say my operation has been a success more than I ever expected and Miss Frazer and her team have been amazing from beginning to end . Wish I had this done sooner rather than waiting after 10 years of bladder issues since child birth . Looking forward to being able to do normal activities with my children without having to worry about my badder . Thank you so much .

Check4Cancer

Oncology, Diagnostics & Testing

My appointment was arranged at short notice, and I was given clear instructions on location and parking. My appointment startedon time, and I was told exactly what was being done. The examination was thorough, identifying several lesions which were scanned for the doctor to assess afterwards. I was told that the doctor's report would be available within a week. Imagine my surprise at receiving it the next morning! I would certainly recommend the service provided by Check4Cancer.

Mr Sushmith Gowda

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Gowda has been very clear in his explanation of what the procedure entailed and the possible outcomes including level of pain possible although luckily I experienced only mild discomfort. His approach is friendly but extremely professional - an excellent bedside manner. He gave enough time for me to ask any questions I might have and was at all times reassuring. I felt confident about my treatment and that he was listening to me. Absolutely no complaints.

Mr Julian Pavier

Podiatrist

I have felt seen and heard from the first consultation. Mr Pavier listened to my issue and concern and immediately put my mind at rest. He found the problem, and is in the process of fixing it. The operation went smoothly and I was well informed. So far I've had two follow up visits and its been very comforting and reassuring that all is on track. Mr Pavier is very professional yet approachable, and I can't praise or thank him enough.

Consultation with Dr Alice Thomas. Parking was easy Welcomed by lovely receptionist who immediately offered me a tea Met Dr Alice who immediately felt 'and relax'! Instant reassuring and lovely energy. Thoroughly talked through blood results. No rushing. We had time and I felt more me walking out of the practice than I had for weeks for speaking to someone who listened and clearly understands what we all go through with our hormones.

I found the GP we visited to be welcoming and friendly, he was very informative and honest with things however I found the reception staff to be the opposite they were not very welcoming and I felt that they were closed of from any type of communication or request I did not like that they were so miserable no smiles just blank I didn't like the experience or the feeling I felt when walking into the practise but the doctor was great.

Mr Robert Gleeson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to see Mr Gleeson as a second opinion after sustaining a ACL rupture and lateral meniscus tear. Mr Gleeson clearly explained my options and the pros/cons of each ensuring I was fully informed. I opted for a surgery which went smoothly and I was in minimal pain during my recovery. I am now 6 months post op and back doing 90% of my previous sporting activities, with a good prognosis for getting back to 100%.
