Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

I had booked an echocardiogram with a female technician, and had taken the day off work to attend, but when I arrived and asked about the female technician (to confirm), I was told that a female was not available, which was extremely disappointing. I had called twice earlier in the day (before travelling to the appointment) to confirm that a female was available, but no one in the echo department answered the phone. Further, I have been attending the Cleveland Clinic since March of last year, when I had a subarachnoid haemorrhage, and had been told that my standing request for a female echocardiogram technician had been recorded in my patient profile. The staff in the imaging department seemed to be surprised that a woman having this test would insist on a female technician, which indicated a lack of sensitivity and training, and they appeared not to know how to handle this situation. So, not only did I waste my time and lose a work day due to this oversight, but I had to cancel my follow-up cardiology consultation, and now cannot take time off work to reschedule until the new year, which has created a very stressful situation for me. In my opinion, the Cleveland Clinic should always have a female echocardiogram technician on duty, for women who are uncomfortable with a male, and the front desk staff needs much better training in this regard.

Good evening, Today I received the official confirmation that I have passed my viva, and as I promised, I wanted to share this happiness with you. I am writing with overwhelming joy, remembering your support and the help that I will never forget. Thank you, Doctor, from the bottom of my heart—you truly saved my life. Before contacting you, I felt I had nothing, yet in less than a year I was able to complete my thesis. It is something I could hardly believe. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown in helping someone like me. I am currently arranging my trip to Saudi Arabia next week on Wednesday, and I will return for graduation next summer. I would like to ask whether you recommend that I continue the medication. If so, my current prescription lasts month, I may need to request more, as I found that only the first medication I used is available in Saudi Arabia.

Dr. Elizabeth James

Chiropractor

From the very first consultation, it was clear this was different. The team at Haptic doesn't just look at your spine; they look at you. The initial assessment was incredibly thorough, involving posture analysis, gait assessment, and a long conversation about my lifestyle, stress levels, and overall wellness goals. I see Dr. Lil, who is absolutely amazing. She spent 30 minutes just listening to my history and my frustrations before ever laying a hand on me. I was so impressed with my results and Dr. Lil's gentle, knowledgeable approach that I even brought my 12-year-old son in for some sessions. She was fantastic with him—explaining everything in a way he could understand and making him feel comfortable and involved in his own health. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing we are both building a foundation for better posture and long-term wellness.

Dr Matthew Balerdi

Cardiologist

This is my first consultation at Rookery Healthcare and I cannot thank Doctor Balerdi enough. Having been 6 months feeling extremely unwell and getting nowhere with the NHS, I contacted Rookery Health and with just one consultation I feel safe that I will be receiving the service which will hopefully put me back to good health. The office is in a good location plenty of parking and the venue is a modern business centre. The office is comfortable and Dr Balerdi and his secretary were very welcoming and put me at ease. I feel the information that was given to me was constructive and I am confident that this will be the way forward. I have since sent communication to Doctor Bederdi and it was answered immediately no long wait for Drs appointments such as our local surgery. The service is excellent and I can highly recommend Rookery Health Care.

Dr Paul Farrant

Dermatologist

My visit to Dr Paul Farrant was just as I'd hoped. I'd selected him to carry out a skin check, based on his high rating in the Brighton area from reviews I'd checked, as well as his qualifications. This was my first skin assessment ever and, at 74, was really later than it might have been! Happily nothing serious was found, but I was advised on a skin maintenance programme which i will adopt going forward. I want to age healthily, and this approach will help me do so. I will return every 2 years from now on for a regular check with Dr Farrant. Highly recommended. (He has very nice skin, by the way, which is encouraging :) :) )

Received urgent call requesting blood test for tolerance to Dye. I Moved appointments for that afternoon to facilitate a flying visit. After arrival kept waiting for 35 minutes until I asked reception as was needed elsewhere and was told phlebotomist would be with me shortly. With Phlebotomist approx 3 minutes, total time 50 minutes and 50 miles traveled Then had to wait 9 days for scan which was only scheduled following chase-up from private GP. On presenting for CT Scan was told that they did not require blood test as procedure did not indicate use of dye. Most unimpressive communication and administration throughout

Professor Richard Field

Orthopaedic Surgeon

It’s always good to talk to Professor Field. He explained the process of fitting my hip replacement clearly and I saw an X-ray of my hip with the implant in place. He explained that new bone would grow round the ball. I have had no problems at all with my new hip replacement. Professor Field was happy with my movement in the joint and my walking. I am happy too. He is always happy to answer questions and it’s a pleasure to see him. I am going for a final check in 6 months. Already my hip feels very good and I am walking well. This is marvellous after a year of pain, frustration and depression.

Mr Donald Mcarthur

General Surgeon

I had a very large inguinal hernia and after a long wait I had my operation. From my original consultation with Mr. McArthur, his pleasant and reassuring manner gave me great faith in him, and his skill was outstanding. My follow up appointment was so reassuring and he confirmed that everything had gone great. As I am a very nervous type of person, I would venture to say that Mr. McArthur is truly a "hernia angel", such was the good work he did for me. Mr. McArthur and his anesthetist and medical and admin team worked great together. I am truly grateful.

Mr Jamil Ahmed

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Ahmed performed my Breast Reduction surgery and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the first consultation, he was patient, thorough, and honest about what I could expect. The clinic staff were efficient, and I always felt well cared for. My surgery went smoothly, recovery instructions were clear, and my follow-up appointments were never rushed. The results look amazing and exceeded my expectations. I’m very grateful for the care I received and would absolutely recommend Mr Ahmed to anyone considering this procedure.”

am African and originally from Africa. Today, the young lady who took my blood was extremely kind and very professional. As we were talking, she was friendly, respectful, and welcoming. I was truly impressed by her attitude and the way she treated me. When she inserted the needle to draw my blood, I barely felt anything — she clearly knew exactly where the vein was and performed the procedure with great skill. If people in this world were all like her, the world would be filled with endless happiness.

I recently visited Lanthorn Clinic in Farringdon for an advanced blood test and a shoulder ultrasound, and the whole experience was genuinely excellent. The team were positive, helpful and incredibly efficient throughout. The clinic itself is spotless, with a clean and relaxing aesthetic that immediately puts you at ease. Every member of staff I interacted with was friendly, professional and made the process feel straightforward from start to finish.

Mr Andrew Pieri

Breast Surgeon

Andrew is just amazing. Makes you feel so at ease. I had wanted my surgery for 25 years and finally found the courage to go after a recommendation. I had confidence and trust in him after my first face to face consultation. I wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted things to look but he gave me his time and patience and we decided a plan together and it is honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you so much for changing my life.

VIP Hearing Solutions Eastcote

I received excellent person centred care. I came for wax removal and discovered I had an ear infection that needed treatment first. The audiologist was very helpful and gave me a referral letter to see the Doctor and once the infection has cleared I could return to complete the wax removal . The Receptionist was welcoming , friendly and helpful from my first phone and on my two visits . Thank you

Mr Raf Niziol

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

This was my first treatment session with Mr Niziol and from the outset he was warm, helpful, personable and kind. His friendly demeanour immediately put me at ease and he was patient and understanding. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly and also gave plenty of space for me to share my own thoughts and ask questions. I will be switching to Mr Niziol for all future and ongoing treatment.
