Mr Bilal Al-Obaidi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a hip replacement at The Circle Hospital on 2nd August 2025, performed by Mr Bilal Al‑Obaidi. Mr Al-Obaidi is a true gentleman - kind, empathetic, and incredibly reassuring. Before the operation, he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt fully informed and completely at ease. Throughout my stay, I felt genuinely cared for at every stage. The surgery itself went extremely well, and my recovery has been excellent. Mr Al-Obaidi is clearly held in very high regard by staff across all departments, which speaks volumes about him as both a surgeon and a person. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my consultant and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering a hip replacement.

Dr. Kathryn Taylor Barnes is an exceptional Aesthetic Doctor whose experience and skill truly stand out. From the very first visit, it was clear that she is not only highly knowledgeable, but also thoughtful, thorough, and attentive. She takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and approaches care with both confidence and compassion. Her expertise is evident in every interaction, and she makes you feel genuinely comfortable and well cared for. I am extremely grateful for the level of professionalism and excellence she brings to her work and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking outstanding aesthetic medical care.

Cromwell Hospital

Paediatrics, Cardiology, + 17 more

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

Ringway Dental Cheadle

Dentistry

Both occasions on visiting the practice have been fantastic. Having a fear of the dentist isn’t great, but the reassurance from the staff is absolutely second to none. Talking through the steps to give you an indication of what’s going on etc. checking in constantly to make sure everything is ok with the procedure taking place! The staff are professional and very friendly, the practice is probably one of the best I’ve ever visited. It doesn’t have a normal sterile dentist feel to it! Again a great experience for someone who isn’t particularly keen on visiting the dentist.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

It was a little overwhelming as I was expecting to discuss fitting a coil and whilst that was mentioned, I was advised about having surgery which was unexpected. I found myself agreeing to the surgery despite not knowing much about it. The risks were not explained and I didnt find out how the procedure would be executed or potential recovery time that might be required. I feel a bit confused about whether this is the right course of action or not. I was not pleased to receive a letter that claimed the risks were explained to me, when they were not.

Mr Stuart Gould

General Surgeon

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Mr Stuart Gould at the Clementine Churchill hospital. I’m a week post op. I am healing well. I cannot thank Mr Gould and all of the staff and nurses that looked after me at the hospital. Operation was a success. The hospital it self is so well managed. A big thanks again to all staff again. Special thanks to Mr Gould he is absolutely fantastic and such a kind person. Very comforting and good at explaining everything. I cannot recommend Mr Gould enough thank you!!

Mr Gurdip Shergill

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Had a review on my right shoulder today with Mr Gurdip Shergill at New Hall Hospital. He explained in detail the issues with my shoulder and how we could move forward with a plan. I was able to make an informed decision and surgery was decided. A rare gentleman in this busy world and with a smile. Very professional, never felt rushed and was given the option to ask questions. Very impressed and have asked for my husband to be also referred for treatment under Mr Shergill.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

Incredibly long wait times, and very poor communication. Repeated requests for infiormation I've already given them and they kept changing which "portal" they wanted to use. The diagnoses for one condition came as an email, with no human touch, no next steps, no follow-up. Was just left to fend for myself. The diagnoses for the other condition was by video call, with a very disenterested practitioner who clearler didn't take on board the severity of my struggles.

Prof. Adam Frampton

General Surgeon

Excellent all round experience. At my first consultation,Adam confirmed diagnosis, laid out my options, and then his team made all the necessary arrangements for laparoscopic cholecystectomy at The New Victoria. The surgery was more straightforward than I had expected, and the recovery quicker. From first consultation to final follow up I found Professor Frampton to be professional, clearly very skilled, but also friendly and approachable. Highly recommended .

One Hatfield Hospital

Geriatric Medicine, Neurology, + 21 more

Lovely helpful doctor, didn't feel rushed, was listened too. Only reason no 5 star was hard to get through to reception and the inconvenience of being sent a letter for telephone appointment instead of agreed face to face appointment and not being able to get through to reception until the 11th hour to confirm and endure we had the correct appointment. Hospital was clean and looked well kept and staff were very friendly and attentive.

Mr Swan was exceptional. From the outset, he asked all the right questions and took the time to truly listen to my concerns. He was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to identify and confirm issues that other doctors had previously missed. I felt genuinely heard and reassured throughout the consultation, and he explained everything clearly and thoroughly. Super helpful and professional — I couldn’t recommend Mr Swan highly enough.

Mrs Claire Freeman

Podiatrist

I saw Mrs Freeman to address an issue that had restricted my movement for the best part of 6 months. The problem was efficiently diagnosed and a corrective action agreed. The surgery itself was fast and professional. Throughout my treatment, I found Mrs Freeman and her team most adept and personable.

Dr Thines Karunakaran

Gastroenterologist

I had an excellent experience at the new endoscopy unit. The staff were professional, courteous, and reassuring, and the facilities were first class. The consultant and team explained everything clearly, which made an anxious time much easier. Thank you all for the outstanding care.
