HCA UK at The Shard

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

From my first appointment, Dr. Philipose demonstrated exceptional professionalism and care. He listened attentively to my concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and explained his reasoning behind each test in a way that was easy to understand. The diagnostic process felt thorough and purposeful rather than rushed. What stood out most was his focus on identifying the root cause. He connected the findings from multiple tests, walked me through the results step‑by‑step, and outlined the likely diagnosis with clarity and confidence. I appreciated how he balanced technical detail with plain language, making it easy to make informed decisions. The follow‑ups were equally impressive: clear next steps, timely check‑ins, and a structured plan that made me feel supported throughout. Communication was prompt, and any adjustments to the plan were explained transparently. Overall, Dr. Philipose combines deep clinical expertise with genuine patient care. I left each interaction feeling heard, informed, and reassured. I’m very grateful for his help and would recommend him without hesitation.

Mr Ankur Barua

Ophthalmologist

I went to see Mr Barua for a laser eye surgery. I had been to see two other more well-known providers for consultations but this was the only consultation where I actually got to meet my surgeon and ask him questions directly. At my consultation Mr Barua was very thorough and knowledgeable and carefully explained all my options, as well as the pros and cons of each. I needed more time to decide whether to go ahead with surgery and Mr Barua was happy to let me take the time I needed, there was no hard sell or push to book in and he also offered me another consultation if I felt I needed it. His secretary Kate was also very helpful when I did have further questions and was happy to talk over various aspects of the procedure when I called back. I had my surgery done about 6 weeks later and I felt very safe in Mr Barua's hands and his team were great. The follow ups have been easy to schedule in and again the team have been very thorough. The healing and recovery have gone well without any issues and I am very glad I opted to have Mr Barua perform my surgery.

Advised to remove certain clothing and jewellery which I did. Ifudbt catch what the nurse ? Assistant quite says as she spoke so quickly. A reversed to this a that. I waited in the booty a further 10 -15 minutes. I opened the door. No one around. I went back into reception as I didn’t know where I should be. Wondering whether I should have returned to the reception. An assistant checked my details. Then a further assistant arrived and took me back to the booth. Scan itself. Could not understand the therapist heard part but again so quick. But held in there. Need more clarity clearer instructions. Speak slowly.

Mr Kam Cheema

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Honestly, if you're browsing reviews looking for an Orthopaedic specialist, just stop right now and book an appointment with Mr Kam Cheema. For me, he went the extra mile, taking time out of his own schedule to see me when we couldn't easily find an availble slot. That set him apart- not only has he competence in his work but also a good character. In our interactions, he has been knowledgable, personable and is passionate about what he does. He even followed up with me sooner than he needed to because he was concerned. I wholeheartedly reccomend him to my friends and family.

I had a breast reduction and uplift with Parkash Lohana in December 2025 and I am delighted with the results. All the staff here are so kind and friendly. Special shout out to Roslyn for how well she looked after me (and my very anxious mum!) on the day, Bernadette, Lisa, but everyone has been amazing. I'm still healing and had to come in for a same day appointment to have something checked and Belinda totally put me at ease and gave me really clear information. Honestly couldn't fault a single element of my experience!

OCL Vision London

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Ophthalmology

I had Smartsight surgery with Allon Barsam about 2 months ago. The whole process from initial consultation, to surgery, to follow up appointments has been fantastic, and I would highly recommend OCL to anyone considering vision correction. You really get that premium, personalised feel here. Everyone I interacted with was kind, helpful and reassuring. I'm delighted with my new vision and the days of having to think about contacts and glasses feel like a distant memory. A heartfelt thank you to the whole OCL Vision team!

Cancer Services

Oncology

I have been under the care of Professor Andrew Wardley for the past three years, and the care he has provided has been outstanding. He is always very responsive and open to any requests or questions. Throughout my cancer journey, he has consistently been calm, composed, and reassuring, which made an incredibly difficult time much easier to face. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach.

Dr Imran Malik

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr Imran Malik was professional, thorough, and genuinely considerate throughout my referral. He put me at ease from the outset, took the time to listen, and helped to significantly ease my anxiety. He clearly explained my medical concerns and the steps needed to move forward, leaving me feeling informed and reassured. His calm, respectful manner was exemplary, especially given the sensitive nature of my condition.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

It was great to be able to see Mr Steven Lau at the Spencer, although a great shame that the NHS does not recognise crossover between private and public services. I had paid £250 to see Mr Lau for the same consultation as I had on 7th January, meaning that I am no further along the path of accessing the treatment I’ve waited 21 months for. I am grateful, however, that I’m accessing private services via the NHS

Mr Akash Patel

Orthopaedic Surgeon

On my initial appointment Mr Patel took time to tell me my different options and the possible outcomes. I chose to go ahead with a total knee replacement, which was very successful I was very pleased with the aftercare, follow up appointments and the physio I received. On my long term outlook I feel that this operation has made a massive difference to my mobility and my quality of life. Thank you Mr Patel

Mr Nawar Abdulsattar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Good clear information during the assessment for my knee operation. The operation went as planned. Recovery has been good and with very little pain. I had good flexibility straight after the operation and have progressed well since. The incision has healed well and I was pleased the wound was glued and not stapled. A very skilled surgeon and I would not hesitate to recommend Nawal Abldulsattor.

Spire Parkway Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 16 more

Such a lovely doctor, she explained everything perfectly. I did not feel rushed in the appointment at any point, She made me feel comfortable to talk about things as she could see I was a little bit embarrassed. More than happy to give her 10 stars and above in all categories. If I have to come to gynaecology again, I will be requesting to be put on Dr Deepti Cheema list.

Dr Satyen Gohil

Haematologist

Always friendly, clear and open to questions about forthcoming treatment. Knowledgeable about previous history and sensitive to issues raised about current treatment plan. Complete confidence in options proposed by my consultant and follow up. Appreciated the continuity of care based on my consultant’s professionalism and understanding of my case history.

Miss Lamia Zafrani

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Bit of a delay to be seen but it was a very busy clinic and is to be expected. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Miss Zafrani was a lovely lady who made me feel at ease and explained the procedure so well and answered any questions that I had. Hope to see her again for my C Section as she had a calming aura. Thanks 🙏 Jenna

Dr. Sachin Sheth

Dentist

I was nervous about my root canal procedure but Dr Sheth was so clear and kind that I was able to relax completely. He gave the impression of great professionalism, and though youthful, of huge knowledge. He is not my usual dentist so I had no relationship with him but I trusted him from the start. Highly recommended.
