Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

I actually did not get to use the facilities in the private wing of Charing Cross Hospital, as I was seen in neurophysiology on level three of the NHS departments. The only time I had to go up to the 15th floor was to get two forms, stamped and provide my pre-authorisation number that meant getting in a crowded lift and riding up to the 15th floor, which took a very long time as the lift stopped on nearly every floor. Then I had to go back down to level three for tests. It was actually quite stressful for someone with my health conditions to do this, and to be expected to do this administration as the patient!. The waiting area in the NHS department was not relaxing, it was very hot, no natural light was had limited/poor ventilation and the receptionist was quite rude. The medical staff were more polite. When I pay for private healthcare, I prefer to stay in the private department than in the crowded NHS areas. I gather on this occasion the tests were not available in the private wing, but perhaps another hospital where the consultant worked would’ve been able to accommodate. I was not informed that the tests would be in the NHS department.

I had a really great experience at this private GP appointment and couldn’t fault it. From the moment I arrived, the staff were absolutely lovely, welcoming, and professional, which instantly put me at ease. The whole appointment felt calm and well organised, with no rushing at all. Dr Owen Weeks was fantastic — very kind, reassuring, and took the time to listen properly. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made me feel genuinely comfortable and cared for. It was such a refreshing experience compared to feeling rushed elsewhere. Overall, it was a great doctor’s appointment and well worth going private. I left feeling reassured and confident, and I would highly recommend this service to anyone considering it. I wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future if I ever need to — a truly positive experience from start to finish.

Dr. Alexandros Georgiou

Oncologist

Dr Alex Georgiou provided an outstanding second opinion for my uncle at a very difficult and uncertain time for our family. Even though he was not the treating oncologist, he showed genuine care, generosity, and commitment to the case, taking the time to review details thoroughly and explain everything with kindness and clarity. He was calm, reassuring, and honest, helping us understand the situation and the treatment plan in a way that gave us confidence and hope. His approach made us feel supported and listened to, rather than rushed or dismissed, which meant a great deal to both the patient and our family. We are deeply grateful for his professionalism, compassion, and willingness to go above and beyond, and we would highly recommend Dr Georgiou to anyone seeking expert oncological advice.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

My recent visit was for a crown fitting and work on the gums. I saw Dr Balawal . I have had a number of appointments with him. He explains what he is doing and, he takes care to ensure the patient is not experiencing any discomfort. I have always understood, and been pleased with, his treatment. He presents as a very competent, conscientious dentist. The reception staff are all polite, helpful and friendly. I am so pleased that I contacted Quality Dental. I have taken out a dental plan and will continue to attend this surgery. I don't know what the other dentists in the practice are like, but I can certainly recommend Dr Balawal.

Mr Iain D M Brown

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Brown is a very pleasant surgeon and extremely competent. He managed to repair tendons in my shoulder which previously were told were irreparable. His secretary is excellent and responding to my queries to Mr. Brown and both have been very patient with me. His matter is very pleasant and was good at sharing details of my operation and answering questions. He has a good sense of humour which often is lacking in surgeons! I am happy for Mr. Brown to view my comments.

Mr Matthew Oakley

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Oakley could not of been more helpfull in explaining to me the complexities of the operation I was going to have on my knee.Unfortunately on my first visit to the Operating theatre there was a slight problem but it was dealt with without any fuss by his team and I had the procedure done a fortnight later,with great success I might add.The aftercare I had was second to none and I have no complaints whatsoever.Doubles and trebles all round.Cheers!

Professor Bijayendra Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I needed an open reduction of a distal radial fracture. We researched local upper limb surgeons and were impressed with Professor Singhs experience and level of expertise. We were not disappointed. At each consultation both before during and after the procedure I felt reassured that I was in the best hands and that all would be fine. A very kind and thoughtful man who could not have taken better care of me. Thank you so much for everything.

Mr Edmund Ieong

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am absolutely delighted with the outcome of my big toe fusion operation. I was concerned that it would restrict my mobility but it hasn’t. The day of surgery was as comfortable as it could have been. Mr Ieong has been excellent from start to finish. He reassured me all the way, and answered all my questions when I had my review after 5 weeks. I’m keen to secure him to do the same procedure on my right foot

dentalessence - Haywards Heath

Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

No worries at all. Am a little confused with the form filling in via the web site, and I am inundated with reminders to fill them in both on the Internet and on my phone. It often makes me wonder if you have received them? Everything absolutely fine otherwise... My deafness causes me a problem, but once I have reminded the staff I am deaf, then they always make sure I understand what they are saying.

Dr Basaam Aweid

General (Internal) Medicine

I would like to commend both the doctor and the nurse for their efficiency and professionalism. I was seen promptly at my appointment, and they immediately arranged an ultrasound scan, followed by an MRI the next day. Their approach was truly person‑centred, ensuring that my care was handled with attention and respect. The service provided was excellent, and I cannot fault any aspect of the process.

Dr Riyaz Somani

Cardiologist

I felt listened to, and clear explanations about my cardiac condition and treatment options were given. There is a clear plan going forward in terms of treatment that I feel comfortable and confident about. Dr Somani also took careful consideration of my other health issues, dealing with these sensitively and with understanding. I feel very grateful and reassured after my visit - thankyou.

Neither I nor my wife visit Dr Johnstone very regularly but whenever we do one can be confident of good advice and a friendly reception. One of DrJohnstone's particular skills is that she can always put you in touch with an expert in his/her specialist field. Today we saw Dr J's temporary stand in. Once again- first class Peter B
