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

Attended for a blood test. I’ve had multiple bad experiences with blood tests over the years. This is primarily because I have very small and narrow veins which disappear with the touch of a needle..☹️ I find the whole experience extremely painful and distressing … I explained all of this to Debbie, the wonderful and kind nurse who attended me. She was brilliant! Totally put me at ease and was incredibly supportive and gentle. I was definitely a challenge for her as my veins were completely uncooperative per usual. But she took her time and used the smallest needle possible to minimise any discomfort. She succeeded in the end and managed to get enough blood for a full blood count!! Miraculous! I am so very grateful to Debbie for turning a potentially very upsetting and negative experience into a positive outcome. She has helped me to regain a little more confidence in having my blood taken again. Thank you Debbie! 😊

Mrs Sandra Cohen

Nutritionist

I was referred to Sandra by my consultant regarding my hormonal imbalance, having expressed that I wanted to do more not only for my current well-being but also for my long-term health. Working with Sandra has been absolutely incredible. Her holistic knowledge and the way she applies it in practice have been truly transformative. The adaptive protocol designed for me has been gradual, deeply receptive to my individual circumstances, while also being highly effective. I have truly felt supported every step of the way. After every session, I walk away with a greater understanding of my body, my health, and myself as a whole. I can honestly say I have benefited in far more ways than I ever imagined from working with Sandra, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and expertise

Dr Veenu Tyagi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was very impressed with my consultant but the hospital care was terrible. I had a 2 night stay and it wasn’t until the day I was leaving that I managed to have a shower and get out of the surgical gown into my own nightdress. I felt that the anaesthesiologist was very rushed with her consultation and did not listen to my concerns and as a result I had a bad reaction to the anaesthetic. After leaving the hospital I has 2 weeks of feeling very dizzy and sick then a rash appeared all over my body. My initial consultation was very positive and everything was explained well but the hospital experience and the aftercare were not so good.

Dr Chris Steadman

Cardiologist

I have had reason to see Dr Steadman over the last year firstly to deal with some heart issues which were diagnosed and resolved extremely quickly and latterly a number of tests which have proven to be reassuringly negative in their outcome. From dealing with Hannah to arrange things to being clinically looked after by Dr Steadman I have always felt I have been dealing with caring, efficient and positive people who excel at what they do. I would also say that has been my experience of those members of the medical team I have met at both Bournemouth and Poole Hospital.

When undertaking base line assessment prior to the procedure, this was conducted in the reception area. During this taking place, 3 other people arrived and seated themselves in the reception area. We were unclear if they were members of the public, staff or other appointments. They were not introduced to us as observers for my treatment. The introduction didn't occur until Prof Zveorov arrived, then introductions were made and my family was made aware they were from other institutions to learn and observe. The support and treatment were excellent.

Extremely happy with the service, care and everyone's attentiveness at the Cleveland Clinic. My initial consultation was with Dr Chetan Bhan. He was patient, friendly and made an effort to understand the symptoms I have been experiencing for some time. He quickly assigned my case to Dr Mark Samaan and appointments allocated swiftly too. I came away feeling reassured by that the Cleveland Clinic would be able to help. Also, the clinic is well kept, clean and comfortable. That is a massive plus too!

Ms Catherine Helen Ward

General (Internal) Medicine

My consultation with Dr. Catherine was exceptionally well conducted. She demonstrated strong clinical expertise and communicated complex information clearly and thoughtfully. I appreciated the time she took to listen to my concerns and her patient, reassuring manner throughout the appointment. Her professionalism, empathy, and calm approach created a highly supportive environment, and I left feeling confident and well‑informed. I am truly grateful for the high quality of care she provided.

GenesisCare Surrey

Oncology

All the staff at GenesisCare Guildford could not have made me feel more welcome and at ease with the treatment I was due to receive. Each staff member is professional and ensured I was fully comfortable with what was about to start. I would highly recommend GenesisCare Guildford as they have exceeded all expectations of what I thought was going to be very traumatic and upsetting experience. I can’t thank them enough and will be forever grateful for all they have done

Spire Montefiore Hospital

All staff, including the receptionist, were very nice and helpful. The hospital waiting areas and the consulting room were very clean and well maintained. There were unlimited free hot drinks and water available for waiting patients. Whilst the hospital does not have a car park, there was plenty of on-street parking available (charges varying up to £6.50 for 4 hours - enforced until 8pm), even on a busy Friday traffic wise after 4pm, when I arrived.

I found the GP we visited to be welcoming and friendly, he was very informative and honest with things however I found the reception staff to be the opposite they were not very welcoming and I felt that they were closed of from any type of communication or request I did not like that they were so miserable no smiles just blank I didn't like the experience or the feeling I felt when walking into the practise but the doctor was great.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 18 more

All the staff at the Spire Hospital were helpful & nothing was too much trouble so that I felt listened to in terms of my needs & any fears I had. I felt reassured that I was in excellent hands when it came to pain relief particularly immediately post op & was encouraged to get out of bed as soon as I was able. The food was enjoyable & there was a good variety which certainly helped my recovery & my room was light & very clean.

Dr Anastasia Mermigka

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr. Mermigka is a fantastic consultant. I was particularly impressed by how she explained my treatment options; she used clear language and made sure I understood every step of the process. I felt I could ask any question without being rushed. It is clear she is an expert in her field, and her calm approach made the whole experience very stress-free. A top-quality service from start to finish

Dr Nilay Joshi

Rheumatologist

This is my miracle doctor. Met Dr Joshi on my first visit on 11 December after being bed bound for six weeks. He put me on a course of steroids and within days, I started to feel like my old self again. Dr Joshi is a brilliant consultant who explained everything to me and put me at ease and made me feel good about myself again. I can only highly recommend him.

Mr Kartik Logishetty

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr logishetty performed a total hip replacement on me and today was my follow up appointment. He was polite, friendly and reassuring. We discussed my recent X-rays and my recovery so far and are both pleased with the results. My incision scar is healing nicely, it is so near and tidy and I am thankful for everything he has done for me and getting my mobility back

Dr Teresa Castiello

Cardiologist

I’m very grateful for the care I received from Dr Castiello. I needed pre-operative clearance for an elective procedure, she was kind, reassuring, and incredibly efficient. She arranged all the necessary tests quickly and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. I felt truly well cared for and would highly recommend her.
