General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Early January 2024, I was diagnosed with Squamous carcinoma in my neck and I had gone through a radiotherapy / chemotherapy treatment and recovered well by mid 2024. A year and a few months later, I discovered something in my upper left jaw and with biopsy, it’s confirmed to be cancer again. I searched for a Maxillofacial surgeon and several of my friends and doctors recommended Dr. Mustansir Alibhai as one of the best in this area. I went to see him and from day one I saw how he is kind and taking good care of his patients. Within a week, he did all required scans and tests and booked the surgery. The surgery was so complicated because of my previous radiotherapy treatment. The surgery took about 14 hours, almost double the normal time, and Dr. Alibhai along with his team had to deal with several complications during the surgery. He dealt with these complications in a very professional way as I heard from his colleagues after the surgery. I think that Allah gave me a new opportunity in this day to come back to life through the help of Dr. Alibhai. After the surgery, I saw a caring person who was taking care of all the details along with his team. I spent 6 days at intensive care and then another 5 days at a normal room. During this period, Dr. Alibhai and his team took very good care of me. The results of the surgery were superb. The pathology report mentioned the success of the surgery in fully removing the tumor with a very good margin. Therefore, my oncologist along with Dr. Alibhai and the team decided that there is no need for further radiotherapy treatment, given the fact that I already had radiotherapy before. The recovery process is a little long because of the sophisticated surgery in my mouth and my leg. I can’t tell you enough about how careful and kind Dr. Alibhai is in following up with me and managing the recovery process in the best possible way to make sure that I return to my normal situation and normal life in due time. He is a real human before being a doctor and this is what makes the difference. I highly recommend Dr. Alibhai for similar cases and I am quite sure he will do a great job. I wish him all the best in his career and his life.

Mr Christopher Jack

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From the first consultation with Mr Jack in October 2024 I had the upmost confidence in him. Although it was a short consultation he was thorough in his diagnosis, explanations and proposed action. He listened to my concerns, showed empathy and had a good sense of humour. My only non positive experience was on the morning of the operation that I heard from the anaesthetist that I was to have the procedure under a spinal anaesthetic. This was the first time that I had “heard” this. My husband and I cannot recall it being mentioned on the first consultation and I do not remember seeing it being identified in the pre operative information. The procedure was excellent and I would not have any hesitation of undergoing the same again and I believe it aided my quick recovery. In my post operative consultation Mr Jack also addressed problems that I was experiencing with my knee on the operated leg and was able to reassure me that it was to be expected, was not a problem and would return to normal- which it has. I would like to thank Mr Jack for his skill and expertise in helping me to regain my quality of life. I have already recommended Mr Jack to acquaintances who are facing hip replacements.

I had an appointment for GBS test on Monday bit disappointed really on the website it said we take 2 swabs also said we can book with someone to take the Sab, which I did, but on the appointment, I was only given tools to do it myself. As being heavy pregnant it's really difficult to do and main reason I went private, paid extra and travelled all the way so, someone will do it for me accurately ( if I had to take swab myself, i would have ordered home kit, reduced so much hazel / money/ time). .

Mr Andrew Richards

Mr Andrew Richards is very professional, knowledgeable and experienced in what he does. He has great bedside manners, is a very good listener who happily takes the time to explain all details and answers all questions which made me feel at ease before and after surgery. I am extremely pleased that my recovery is progressing well. And what’s even better is that his PA Rachel Evans is always a phone call or email away.

Rebecca was so lovely and made me and my partner feel very at ease. She explained everything perfectly during our early pregnancy scan and was very patient. We were just slightly a little too early in the pregnancy and it was a little difficult to see what we had initially went for, but Rebecca was very patient and took the time to achieve this for us and we got to see our little heartbeat ❤️

Dr Chris Airey

General (Internal) Medicine, General Practitioner

Dr Airey is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. He doesn’t rush the consultation and genuinely listens to how you’re feeling. It’s clear he really understands hormones and how to tailor treatment to each individual which is important to me as I believe there isn’t a one shoe fits all for TRT. I’ve felt a huge improvement since being under his care.

Dr Stephanie Arnold

Dermatologist

My appointment with Dr Stephanie Arnold was excellent. I consulted her for a second opinion feeling hopeless after three years battling a painful genital skin condition. She was compassionate and understanding, and so easy to talk to. I left after being given a clear explanation of the problem, with a detailed treatment plan, and feeling much more optimistic about the future.

Appointments are on time.
