Mr Daniel Apostol

Physiotherapist

I have been seeing Daniel for post-operative shoulder rehabilitation following complex surgery. From the outset, his approach has been exceptional. At every session, Daniel takes the time to understand how the previous week has gone, including pain levels, sleep quality, flare-ups, and how the shoulder is coping with day-to-day use. He adjusts treatment carefully based on how I am actually responding, which has been crucial in ensuring progress while minimising the risk of setbacks. Daniel understands that I need to know why I am doing something, not just what to do. His explanations are clear, thoughtful, and grounded in sound clinical reasoning. This has given me confidence in the rehabilitation process and reassurance at every stage of recovery. He is also highly skilled at pacing rehabilitation appropriately. When necessary, he has deliberately held me back in a careful and protective way to prevent over-loading the repair. That restraint has been just as important as the progression itself, and as a result my recovery has been steady, controlled, and ahead of expectations rather than rushed. What I value most is the level of trust. I feel completely able to be honest with him about weeks that have not gone perfectly, including when I have done more than I should have. His response is always calm, supportive, and constructive rather than critical, which has made a significant difference both physically and psychologically. I trust Daniel implicitly with my recovery and would highly recommend him.

The Salisbury Practice

Clinical Psychology, Psychology, + 1 more

I recently completed a course of CBT sessions with Dr Sharon Pettit, focusing on managing my anxiety, worry, and rumination. When I first began, I struggled significantly with social interactions, often feeling socially awkward and fixating on past conversations. My mind would race with worries about things entirely beyond my control, pushing my anxiety levels to an all-time high. It felt like I was in a constant state of fight or flight, from the moment I woke up until I went to bed, leaving me completely drained. Now, almost six months later, I've gained valuable tools to help manage my thoughts and emotions. While I wouldn’t say I’m completely cured, I feel about 75% better and am now enjoying a much happier life. I've decided to take a break from CBT for the time being, but I'm committed to returning if I notice my anxiety levels rising again.

One Stop Healthcare

Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 48 more

The team at One Stop Healthcare in Hemel Hempstead were very friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I had a clean, tidy private room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The two ladies who handled my general anaesthetic were excellent and really helped put me at ease as I was quite nervous. Post surgery, the physio who showed me how to use my crutches and explained my recovery was lovely. My only criticism was the inconsistency around my sick note - my surgeon signed me off for 6 weeks, but a nurse was unhelpful and stated they only do 4 weeks and that I would need to see my GP to extend it! This felt unnecessary given this was my agreed recovery time. My surgeon did step in to resolve this. I did appreciate the follow up call a week after surgery to check how I was doing, which was a nice touch overall.

Mr Hooman Sherafat

Ophthalmologist

I chose Mr Hooman Sherafat after researching his field, posts held and reviews about him. I liked his special interest in both cataract and oculoplastics surgery. I enjoyed meeting him. He is one of those special people who is both utterly professional and relaxed and honest in himself. He is very kind and patient-centred and aware that sight is precious and trust in the Consultant key. His explanations were excellent, his answers to my questions thorough and patient, and he listened carefully to my preferences. Both cataracts were removed without a hint of pain and he filled me in as he carried out the procedure. My follow up visits with him were just as excellent as was the communication and organisation by his P.A., Dodo, a very kind, competent and understanding person. I would highly recommend.

Dr Riyaz Shah

Oncologist

It is always a pleasant experiance meeting Dr Shah for the consultation, despite the nature of the visit. The structure is generally clear and does well at providing patient confidence. To begin with, Dr Shah will listen to us and how we are feeling, how the treatment is developing, understanding and addressing any concerns we may have. All of this provides important patient validation which makes us feel included in the process. Dr Shah will therefore discuss the plan logically moving forward and why, and just clarifying we understand what everything entails. Discussions are open and are pivitol for my treatment, yet also for my wife Lisa, as we can feel confident in a realistic way what to expect and are to be addressing. As I say, all of our visits have been pleasat and comfortable.

Mr James White

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. White for a clavicle fracture. I actually went into the office not expecting to need surgery at all. Rather than pushing me toward a specific path, he took the time to walk me through my imaging and explain the long-term pros and cons of both surgical and non-surgical options. Because of that level of clarity and care, I felt empowered to decide on surgery, and I’m glad that I did. The outcome has been great, and my recovery has been on track. I also want to mention the PA, who was incredibly responsive and helpful with every follow-up question I had. I felt genuinely well taken care of by the entire team. If you want a surgeon who prioritizes patient education and respects your decision-making process, this is the place to go.

Mr Awaiz Ahmed

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Awaiz Ahmed was recommended to me due to my complex medical history, including degenerative disc disease. From the outset, I found him to be very approachable and reassuring. He is a caring and compassionate doctor who takes the time to listen carefully to his patients. He provided clear and thorough explanations of my condition and treatment options, which I found extremely helpful. Mr Ahmed proposed a well-considered course of treatment that he felt was the most appropriate for my individual circumstances, giving me confidence in his expertise and judgement. I have seen a number of consultants over the years, and Mr Ahmed stands out as one of the best. I would highly recommend Mr Ahmed to anyone experiencing neck or back pain.

Dr Andrew Gaya

Oncologist

I attended a follow up consultation with Dr Gaya yesterday during which he gave me my recent MRI and PET/CT scan results. As always, Dr Gaya spent time explaining his findings and action to be taken going forward. We also discussed my current state of health, my planned treatment by the Rheumatology Team and the impact the most recent Rituximab infusion is having. Dr Gaya is always very pleasant, asks relevant questions and is very clear about next steps in the short term whilst having plans for the longer term. I look forward to his encouraging consultations every two weeks. Dr Gaya’s calm, measured, patient manner reflects his professionalism and care towards his patients. He keeps me sane, especially in times of anxiousness !

This is my second surgery in the Cleveland Clinic and once again It was without fault and without equal. All the staff from the nurses, surgeon, anaesthetist, porters & dinner team are so friendly, kind and display genuine care to patients/my family.

He is an amazing professor with a keen interest in rib problems which is rare in itself but he was also very bubbly, reassuring and friendly i look forward to seeing what he publishes next on all things slipped rib syndrome as this painful condition has been very challenging to me and he was the one to fix it!

Basuto Medical Centre

Dermatology, General Practice (GP), + 1 more

Since I joined in 2000, I have been elightened and guided every step of the journey I needed to make for and with the maintenance and improvement of my health. Dr McMichen has at all times made clear connections between any of symptoms I described and the possible pathology behind them. In addition I have always had the most considered responses to any alternatives there might have been. My experience over 26 years has left me aware of the considerable knowledge and professionalism which I have been offered on each and every visit.

Dr Xue Yan Jiang

Oncologist

Dr Xue Yan Jiang was very welcoming and professional. She instantly put my husband at ease. She explained things in an easy to understand language and gave us time to ask any questions and concerns we had. She gave us options and again explained these thoroughly with us. Since our 1st meeting she has always been pro active in organising my husbands care. Her communication is second to none. I could not speak more highly of her.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

Greeted well by Amanda the secreatary and nurse on arrival. Dr Ridout greeted me with a smile and handshake, addressed me by name and personally conducted me to her office. She was warm, positive, respectful and dealt with my needs very professionally. I was re- assured with the positive measures organised. The blood work was excellently completed. A satisfactory and uplifting experience.

I was seen on time by a friendly and caring staff. The surgery went very smoothly, and I had no pain. The staff helped reduce my anxiety. The discharge meeting was very thorough and detailed, and appointments for aftercare have been arranged. I was very pleased with the appointment and the care shown. The staff also showed a high degree of expertise and competence, as well as personal care.

Dr Rachel Byng-Maddick

Rheumatologist

My experience was extremely positive. Dr Rachel Byng-Maddick listened carefully and explained everything clearly, which made the situation feel much more relaxed and reassuring. She was thorough in her assessment, completed all the necessary tests, and gave me real confidence that she had listened, responded appropriately, and made referrals where needed.

UK Vein Clinic - Exeter

Vascular Surgery

Very good explanation before the date and also on the day before the actual appointment. They gave me complete confidence, and the nurses were very good at chatting with me to distract me from the painful parts of the varicose vein precedure. A lot of information at the time, but also online afterwards so that i had no further questions.
