Dr Maria Kalkani

Dentist

I cannot thank Dr. Maria Kalkani, and her entire team enough for the extraordinary care they gave our child during what was one of the most stressful days we’ve had as parents. After our son suffered a fall and traumatically lost his front tooth, my husband and I were overwhelmed with worry. We weren’t just concerned about the immediate injury, but about the possible long-term effects on his adult teeth, his smile, and even his confidence and mental wellbeing. Seeing your child hurt and frightened is heartbreaking, and we walked into the clinic feeling anxious and unsure of what the future might look like. From the moment we arrived, everything changed. Dr. Kalkani’s professionalism, calm expertise, and genuine compassion were immediately reassuring. She took the time to explain every step clearly, answered our many (many!) questions with patience, and never once made us feel rushed or silly for asking. Her knowledge and confidence gave us complete trust that our child was in the very best hands. Her treatment coordinator, Jasmine, was equally incredible organized, kind, and so thoughtful in helping us navigate appointments and options during an emotional time. And Sydney, her nurse, was simply wonderful with our son —gentle, warm, and so reassuring. She treated him like he was family, which meant more to us than we can say. What stood out most was the level of care and humanity. They stayed late to make sure he was fully seen and that we understood every option available. No one hurried us out the door. Instead, they focused entirely on what was best for our child. They kept both my husband and me calm, grounded, and hopeful when we really needed it. The whole team showed such patience, kindness, and compassion not just clinical excellence, but true heart. It felt as though they cared for our son as if he were their own. We left feeling relieved, supported, and incredibly grateful. If you are looking for pediatric dental care where skill meets genuine love and dedication, I honestly cannot recommend Dr. Kalkani and her team more highly. The care they provide is immense and truly unmatched. Thank you for everything you did for our family. We will never forget it.

Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I have been very happy with my overall experience at Vision Scotland Edinburgh. The staff were both friendly and professional. I was well informed regarding my choices and the procedure. I have been thrilled with the result of the cataract surgery. I was given an appointment very soon after the referral. I would however like to let you know how I felt the experience on the day of the operation could have been improved. Firstly I was not sent the Post Op information which would have been most helpful to read before the procedure. Secondly I got very cold in theatre and was given a blanket but it did take me ages to warm up. It would have been better to have been given a blanket before the procedure started. There is a lot of cold water being used which does add to the chill. Thirdly I was not told to bring sunglasses for the journey home or to bring analogies both of which I would very much appreciated as I lived over a hour away. On the journey home I became extremely uncomfortable. Finally the roof of my mouth and tongue got a little burnt I think by the coffee as they must have been a little bit anaesthetised still when I had the coffee. The coffee however i have to say was absolutely welcome and the best thing along with the toasted teacake. I found it very reassuring to have a telephone number to call which I did use. I also very much appreciate the phone call from the nurse a couple of days post op. I hope you find the above comments of use. I do not wish to criticise as overall it was an extremely good experience and I would and have already recommended Vision Scotland. ( I did tell my neighbour to ask for a blanket!)

One Ashford Hospital

Dermatology, Pain Management, + 21 more

There was a lot of confusion in regards to my follow up appointment post surgery. An appointment was booked and agreed for Monday morning, another appointment was booked for the afternoon in addition to the morning appointment, which I tried to rearrange for the following day and recieved confirmation, that appointment I found out later had not been booked and one was made for the following week, and I had called to confirm the appointment for Monday morning too. I found out later that the Monday morning appointment was cancelled but I was not told this until I arrived for the appointment early. Gill at reception was extremely helpful and was immediately on the case to help me as this was a wound check appointment. She spoke to Nikki and Bev and I was able to be seen very quickly. I appreciated all the help I was given by Gill and she helped me create my next appointment for 6 weeks time and navigate the situation well. The appointment itself was informative and very good. I believe there was a mix up with the lists for the day and it seemed to be that everyone just got confused with what appointments for me were needed to be rearranged/ cancelled. Everything was resolved quickly and calmly, and I thank everyone for their help in resolving this.

Dr Elizabeth Kulakov

Dermatologist

My appointment with Dr Elizabeth Kulakov was an extremely positive experience from start to finish. I was seen promptly at the scheduled time, which immediately set a reassuring and professional tone. Dr Kulakov took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything clearly and calmly. I felt that she was genuinely attentive and thorough, never rushed, and very focused on providing the best possible care. The examination and treatment were carried out with great care and professionalism, and Dr Kulakov explained each step along the way, which helped me feel comfortable and well informed. The advice I received was clear, practical, and tailored to my situation, giving me confidence in the next steps. I left the appointment feeling reassured, well looked after, and fully satisfied with the level of care and expertise provided.

Mr Hisham Hamed

Breast Surgeon

I have been a patient of Dr Hamed for the past five years and recently attended my six-monthly follow-up appointment. As always, it was a pleasure to see him. These appointments are naturally stressful and anxiety-provoking, but Dr Hamed and the nursing team consistently make the experience easier through their warmth, kindness, and highly professional approach. Dr Hamed never rushes the appointment and always makes time to answer every question I have, no matter how many. He is a truly outstanding consultant whom I trust completely. His care, reassurance, and expertise have played a huge role in my recovery following my mastectomy, and I am incredibly grateful for the support he continues to provide. I could not recommend Dr Hamed more highly.

Mr Hassan Elhassan

ENT Surgeon

Very friendly and informative. Had a consultation and explained what was affecting me. Mr Elhassan then did an inspection for the cause of my problem and listed out what would need to be done. He had a great support team which helped organise everything very efficiently and the surgery went off without a problem. I was provided great aftercare instructions and from this I didn’t have any problems after the surgery was complete. Can’t thank Mr Elhassan enough for helping me. He’s improved my quality of life in a way I never thought I would achieve previously.

From the initial outpatient appointment to the procedure , everything was smooth and pleasant.

Dr Woollard was very attentive and helpful. He was reassuring and made everything clear. He was understanding and showed empathy .

Peninsula Heart Clinic

Cardiology

My appointment with Dr Guy Haywood was very good. - Dr Haywood had read the briefing information I supplied about my condition. - Dr Haywood interviewed me to establish how my atrial fibrillation was affecting me. - Dr Haywood examined me and my ECG and then explained very clearly the available treatments and their limitations. I am now happy that I have a better understanding of my condition and the options open to me if my condition starts to impact my activities.

Dr. Rahul Lakhera

General Practitioner, Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

Recommended by a friend, I found the service very helpful ;booking an appointment and explaining the procedure. Dr Lakhera explained how the consultation would be conducted for the diagnosis and treatment. He was very clear, showing me the ultra-sound scans and discussing what he had identified. Referral for an MRI scan was competed very quickly and returned to Wharfedale clinic for treatment, completed within eight days. Treatment has been successful .

Sapphire Eye Care

Ophthalmology

Every stage of my procedure for my cataract operations (both eyes a week apart) went like 'a dream' from the excellent initial Consultation with Professor Luff, to the 2 excellently/professionally executed outpatient operations he and his excellent team carried out, to the excellent aftercare and not to mention the miraculous results!. If anyone (like me!) is petrified of such procedures I would highly recommend Professor Luff and his Sapphire Team.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

Respiratory Medicine, Dermatology, + 21 more

I have had the misfortune to be admitted to many hospitals since 2018. Lindo Wing at St Mary’s has been the best experience, second to none, with caring, experienced, informative staff. Refreshingly, nothing is too much trouble. Lal Navaratne ensured my complex care was fully coordinated by wonderful teams of professionals. I have no complaints, only praise for such an amazing experience.

Mr Simon Sturdee

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I first met Mr Simon Sturdee on Friday morning at an early appointment and found him to be very pleasant and helpful and felt very confident that he will be able to do something to relieve me of the pain I have had for a long time ! I look forward to the next appointment when I know Mr Sturdee will be making every effort to help me get back to normality again !

Dr. Mary McStay

Gastroenterologist

Dr M treated me like I was an intelligent human (sadly not always the case with doctors). Clearly explained her medical suggestions and reasoning; offered straight forward financial options and was open to discuss possibilities for the way forward. Excellent manor, she created an environment of equal parties jointly tackling a problem! Many thanks

dentalessence - Sompting

Dentistry

As always Joanne and her colleague were friendly polite and very efficient with my tooth repair. Care was taken to explain the issue and how they would repair it, talked me through what they doing. When done a quick confirmation of how it would need more detailed repair if it failed again. All good with thanks to both.

Dyer Family Osteopathy

Acupuncture, Osteopathy

I've been seeing David for just over a year now for various issues. He's helped me with long term migraines and persistent headaches, a rolled ankle, lower back pain, shoulder injuries, and generally kept my body from falling to bits from working 9 hours a day at a desk and running around after two little people!

Mr Samrat Mukherjee

General Surgeon

Mr Mukherjee was very professional. He asked me questions to try and identify the source of my pain and examined me with a female chaperone present, which I thought was very thoughtful He suggested a follow up Ultrasound to eliminate other medical problems before looking at other ways to further treatment me
