Mr Irshad Shaikh

General Surgeon

I recently had an operation performed by Professor Shaikh. In the lead up, I had several discussions with him about the way forward; he was highly professional and very helpful. He explained the options to me very carefully, he gave advice and allowed time for me to ask questions which he answered fully. However, I was over weight and he explained very carefully the risks posed in surgery by the extra weight I was carrying. We decided a way forward together; we set a date for the operation, allowing time for me to lose some weight. I was very grateful to him for providing me with a clear focus and for his encouragement. By the date of the operation, I had lost a substantial amount of weight and the operation was performed successfully. I have a great deal to thank Professor Shaikh for - in addition to his surgical expertise, I am grateful for his advice, encouragement and support. I have the utmost confidence in him and I have no hesitation in recommending him, unreservedly.

The Joint Injection Clinic

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

Dr James Thing is a miracle worker—I am now walking almost completely normally for the first time in almost a year. I had a Baker's Cyst which he drained and injected. I had limped into his office, barely able to walk and I (almost) skipped out. He did a scan on my foot but wouldn't do an injection until I had an MRI. This is good medicine as he wanted to be sure he was injecting in exactly the right place, and indeed, he wanted to make sure an injection was the right thing to do (which it was). The foot is so much better. I am back to walking my normal 4 ½ -5 mile routes without much difficulty. Dr James Thing is a brilliant doctor! What I like is that you go in, he does an ultrasound to make a diagnosis, and if appropriate, he carries out the procedure there and then. No waiting for additional appointments at additional costs. Treatment and relief are immediate. That is amazing to find in this day and age.

Mr Abdul Kasem

Breast Surgeon

I highly recommend Mr Abdul Kasem. From the outset, he acted quickly and thoroughly, ensuring nothing was missed and nothing was too much trouble. He was exceptionally hands-on, making time to see me when schedules were tight and even calling in the evenings to explain next steps, which was hugely reassuring. Every consultation felt calm and unhurried, with clear explanations and a compassionate, relaxed manner that built real confidence. His positivity and encouragement made the situation feel winnable and well managed throughout. The efficiency and coordination of his team were outstanding, and the respect they clearly have for him was evident. My heartfelt thanks to Mr Kasem, who has clearly found his calling in helping people through difficult moments and making them that little bit easier.

Mr Srijit Banerjee

Urologist

I had an excellent experience with Mr Banerjee. From the first consultation through to the procedure and aftercare, everything was handled with exceptional professionalism, clarity, and care. He took the time to explain each step, answered all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel completely at ease throughout what could otherwise be a stressful experience. The procedure itself went smoothly, recovery was exactly as explained, and I felt very well supported the entire time. I’m extremely grateful for the high standard of care and would highly recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.

The Forbury Clinic (Berkshire Health Ltd)

Chiropractic, General (Internal) Medicine, + 5 more

Yesterday I had a phone call from Mr Yang who came up with a plan for my latest UTI . We had a full and informative discussion. Within 5 mons of his call I had a private prescription emailed to me and within 30 mins I had a phone call from Forbury saying my UTI vaccine was ready for collection. I went to the Forbury and the vaccine was all ready for me complete with cooling pack to keep it cold. During the afternoon I also received a very accurate clinic letter from Mr Yang and copied to my GP. All very speedy and efficient and much appreciated.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Greeted by friendly staff and seen at my appointment time. Following a basic health check, the procedure was explained in detail and I was taken to a treatment room for the Gastroscopy to begin. Throat spray was applied, blood pressure and oxygen levels were monitored throughout the procedure, then the camera was inserted via the mouth into the oesopagus and stomach. The process was painless but a little discomfort was felt and took no longer that 10 minutes in total. I was then taken to a recovery room and discussed the treatment findings.

Mr James Langdon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr. Langdon has a very professional yet caring manner. A full explanation of the procedure was given prior to my operation. Follow up care has been second to none. Not only am I delighted to have had the procedure performed, I am grateful that it was Mr. Langdon’s care that I was placed in. I needed advice a couple of weeks after the operation and Mr. Langdon called back quickly with great advice and reassurance. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Steven Harsum

Ophthalmologist

Mr Harsum took great care and spent time discussing the likely outcome of my cataract operations in terms of the impact on my vision in general. He also gave me several pointers towards avoiding any further deterioration in my eyesight due to macular degeneration, which was over and above the expected benefits of the actual cataract operations. I now have excellent distant vision restored and confidence about the future.

Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 35 more

The doctor and nurses here are very kind and really helped me during a nerve wracking procedure that I was highly anxious for. I do think given how much we pay for these appointments, that the facilities could really use a revamp. It fees tired and dated in the common areas and the toilets were not very clean. On top of that, you can never find a parking spot, which adds extra anxiety to pre appointments.

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

Communication about where the treatment was to take place could have been a bit clearer - appointment was arranged via Shawfair Park reception but treatment was actually at Murrayfield which wasn't clear to me. Murrayfield reception also called and seemed surprised too that it has been done by Shawfair but didn't clarify where it was happening. All worked out in the end though.

Miss Elaine Cheung

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Initial appointment was really good and Dr Cheung was really patient and thorough but it was her calmness that made all the difference. In the end I had to have a Hysteroscopic surgery and it went well and it didn’t take long for me to heal. Dr Cheung came to see me after the surgery and then had a really good post op follow up consultation. Thank you

Mr Koldo Azurza

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Rashid explained everything perfectly, im just over 2 weeks post open inguinal hernia surgery and healing well, it also looks like Mr rashid has done a very neat job at the incision site.

Experts in Skin and Hair

Dermatology

I found it very easy to make an appointment with a specialist of my choice at a nearby hospital. During my appointment, I benefited significantly from the Consultant's specialist knowledge, which was extremely helpful and beneficial in regards to my condition and also to my overall health and wellbeing.

Queens Terrace Dental Practice

Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dental practice aside, which are exemplary, the practice needs some heating it was too cold in there and I must say £5 for the soft bristle tooth brush just because I forgot mine was not necessary at all. I felt a little shoehorned into having to buy that which I did not appreciate.
