The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

Mr Christopher Hemmerdinger

Ophthalmologist

I had worried previously about the need for this procedure, not knowing the risks and outcomes. However, the online information provided ahead of the procedure was detailed and comprehensive, so I knew exactly what to expect. I have known Mr Hemmerdinger for many years, and had confidence in his ability, so I was not at all worried on the day. He gave me so much time to reconsider and mentally prepare, that I worried about holding up his other patients! I really appreciated this. The procedure was not in the least daunting. It seemed to me like paintballing, with flashes of green light. There was no discomfort, apart from a headache from the pilocarpine drops administered in advance, and blurred vision for a while. I waited after the procedure for half an hour to allow time for recovery, after which the eye pressure had reduced. I was particularly reassured by access to the online advice again later, to double check what I should know, and to note and follow up any queries. My only query was promptly answered by email. In all, this was a very positive experience. I wait to learn whether the procedure was effective, but have no qualms now about repeating it in the future, if necessary.

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.

TCM Healthcare Fertility Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

We decided to visit them after reading their positive reviews and wanted to give it a try. After reviewing my test results, they recommended a three-month course of treatment. The instructions and cooking process were clear and easy to follow. After completing the three months of treatment, I went for another test and was delighted to learn that my FSH levels had gone down, which felt unbelievable and made us extremely happy. That said, I would have liked to learn more about my TCM diagnosis and what it meant, as this was not really explained to me. This was a bit disappointing, as I was genuinely interested—especially considering the cost of the consultations. Communication and transparency could have been better in this regard. However, Professor Au did call us to reassure us whenever he felt it was needed, which we appreciated. I would recommend them to anyone who is struggling with fertility and looking for support.

Dr Kajal Patel

Dentist

Absolutely fantastic 🌟 I recently visited Carshalton Dental Centre for the first time, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly and professional team. My dentist, Kajal, was incredibly thorough in explaining every step of the examination and possible treatment, ensuring I understood what was happening and answering all my questions. I appreciated how Kajal took the time to listen to my concerns and tailored the approach to suit my needs. What really stood out was the level of care and attention to detail. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Kajal to anyone. I’ll definitely be returning! Thank you so much for such a lovely dental experience!

Main reception lovely and consultant was great. Imaging receptionist was blunt and frankly dismissive. Now paying invoice for consultation the original price was quoted on phone I found it’s £20 more which isn’t much but when you are self funding every £20 counts! When I complained I was directed to the fees as outlined on my original appointment letter which state it would not exceed £150 which it obviously doesn't but it wasn’t explained that the figure quoted on phone was only an estimate. Pricing should be communicated more clearly for those who don’t have insurance. So far, apart from consultant, a disappointment.

Newmedica Norfolk

Ophthalmology

I have just had private cataract surgery at Newmedica Norwich, it was an exemplary experience, the staff were so welcoming and the surgeon, Mr Anas Injarie fully explained the procedure and delivered an amazing result. I no longer need contact lens, which I have been wearing for 50 years. Two months earlier Newmedica removed the cataract in my other eye under the NHS. That was a wonderful experience , going private for my remaining eye gave me the flexibility of appointment dates and a premium lens for the best possible vision. I now regret delaying the surgery, I now have two new eyes.

North Wales Eye Specialist Centre

Ophthalmology

I had an excellent experience under the care of Consultant Divya Mathews. She performed cataract surgery on both of my eyes with outstanding skill and precision. From the first consultation through to post-operative care, she was calm, reassuring, and very clear in her explanations, which gave me complete confidence and peace of mind. The results have been excellent, and my vision has improved significantly beyond my expectations. I am truly grateful for her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach, and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional eye care.

I highly recommend Dr Sandra Hlaing who I decided to seek help with regarding my menopause struggles. She was amazing and explained everything to me in great detail. She was professional but friendly and put me at ease with my situation. I came away with a huge sigh of relief as I was listened to and given a plan which I desperately needed. I am extremely grateful to Dr Hlaing as I now feel happy and so much more in control of my condition. She is a credit to both her profession and Sancta Maria Hospital.

As I said it was brilliant in regards to how I was treated. It was so straight forward, I laughed, I relaxed I was treated like I was the only person who has ever suffered which I think is amazing for how many people do suffer, worse than me. I will always recommend Dr Srivastava and if I ever need another follow up or something in the area of Dr srivastavas expertise I will go to him every time. He is fantastic I am so happy and can move forward. Thanks again Dr srivastava.

Mr Sudhir Rao

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can not praise MrRao highly enough. The second total hip replacement appears so far to have gone well. I felt very safe with him at all times and was informed what was most likely to happen and needed to be done. It sounded very complicated to me as a patient but Mr Rao has such an assuring and calming manner that I felt totally safe and had no doubt that this would be a success . I’m very happy to be pain free after a long time and would highly recommend him

Mr Edward Pringle

Ophthalmologist

Mr Pringle is not only a brilliant surgeon but also an excellent communicator, very clearly explaining what the issues are and how best to resolve them. He makes complex procedures comprehensible to a medically ignorant person like me. And, on top of his technical expertise, he's also very calming, reassuring and expert at dispelling any worries you might have.

Mr Leon Almashan

I came here nervous first time with my wife. We met Mr. Almashan, we both felt confident & relaxed after the first meeting, my Peyronie’s disease curvature reduced to half . Now I can have sex easily & my wife very happy . I’m so glad I didn’t get my penis chopped under the knife ! The PD360 treatment with injections , shockwave & the rest made huge difference

Mr Jochen Fischer

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was treated with the upmost care and respect. Consultations were well explained and plans/next steps for treatment were always discussed in a shared manner which was much appreciated as I felt involved in my care plan. Mr Fischer was always welcoming and personable making me feel like I was always in safe hands.

Miss Kazal Omar

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have been looked after from start to finish. Procedure explained, undertaken and recovered extremely well. Miss Omar has a lovely manner and I would highly recommend her. The staff in the hospital from reception, nurses and all personnel have been helpful and kind and again I would recommend the hospital too.

Miss Charlotte Foster

Nutritionist

I spoke to Charlotte about an anti-inflammatory diet. Charlotte is very empathetic making it easy to discuss any issue. Her advice was clear and practical so I could make changes to my diet immediately. Charlotte is so knowledgeable and up with the latest thinking, I won’t hesitate to seek her advice again.
