Professor Nikhil Vasdev

Urologist

I was referred to Prof Vasdev via a friend of a friend who is: a prostate cancer patient, a practicing emergency Doctor and an ex-military doctor. When I first spoke with “###”, he talked me through his exhaustive research into who, is who, in the world of treatment of prostate cancer and the many specialists in a myriad of fields that he had interrogated. For him, there was only one option for the individual in which he was willing to place his trust and his future care, that man was “Prof Nik”, (a term of endearment I am sure I would never be so bold as to use!) On meeting Prof Vasdev, I was struck by how quickly he thinks, acts and assimilates information. On further conversations throughout my treatment, I have been amazed at how much he does, both locally and internationally across his surgical work, his research, his teaching and his sharing of best practice and in my case Neurosafe Robot Assisted Laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). The Neurosafe aspect is the gamechanger, this allows the team to assess at a cellular level the safe margins for the removal of diseased tissues live in surgery with samples taken and assessed in real time…AMAZING! I am now 11 weeks post-surgery and am recovering very well and have had my first post operative PSA test returning undetectable levels of PSA. Having been able to observe Prof Vasdev in his native environment at the NE Hertfordshire hospital in Stevenage he struck me as s a super-bright inspiring leader, held in great esteem by his colleagues and patients alike, capable of communicating the mission and the goal to his peers and his staff who offer him great respect in return and understand how and why to get to the best treatment and patient outcomes Besides his operative track record, his academic and research and teaching record leave no doubt to his expertise, energy and passion to improve medical science across many disciplines which culminate in him being an outstanding surgeon and an avid sharer of new procedures and techniques to give the best patient outcomes and I count myself as a very grateful individual amongst that number.

Dear Team, I would like to provide feedback, as my experience at Harley Street Specialist Hospital has genuinely changed my life. I want to say how incredibly grateful and eternally indebted I am to my surgeon, Mr Luke Cascarini. He has given me a completely new lease of life. He is not only an outstanding surgeon but an exceptional human being, and I cannot thank him enough for the care, precision, and compassion he showed throughout my entire journey. I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to Janet, Dr Bosh, and all the nursing staff, as well as every member of the team right down to the wonderful ladies on reception, including Marianne. There are too many to name individually, but every single person played a role in making this experience extraordinary. The hospital itself does not feel like a hospital at all — it feels more like a health retreat where you leave as a better version of yourself. The environment, the warmth, and the standard of care are truly exceptional. For anyone suffering from sleep apnea, as I was, or dealing with any of the conditions treated by your specialists, I could not recommend HSSH and Mr Luke Cascarini more highly. You have all transformed my life in ways I cannot properly put into words. Thank you, sincerely, for everything. Warm regards, Mr Shefik

Receptionist was absolutely lovely and really friendly and helpful. The building and facilities were all excellent and kept clean and tidy. The consultant I saw was extremely rude, arrogant and judgemental. There were several comments he made that shocked me and that made me feel very uncomfortable to the point I almost walked out mid appointment. There was very little sympathy or mindfulness of my injury and he came across extremely judgemental in the assumptions he made about the level of sport I played, what I could afford, and several other things. I actually play semi-professionally and have represented our country in World Championships in the sport I play, and I also have a law degree and accountancy qualification which I did not mention as quite frankly it is irrelevant. It was apparent he took a dislike to me for whatever reason from the start and the whole experience was very uncomfortable. His behaviour aside, he is clearly very knowledgeable and good at what he does. Reading between the lines I got the answer I needed. This hospital was recommended to me by one of your previous patients and I was lucky to get booked in through an NHS referral but after my experience I would never return for any issue and am relieved I didn't pay to go private.

Dr Runa Ali

Consultant Allergist

Being a medical doctor myself, I am able to really appreciate the presence of a kind and empathetic doctor so much more when I find myself at the patient end of a consultation. Dr Ali has previously treated me very successfully over 10 years ago for my very severe hay fever with desensitisation therapy. Understandably, after such a long period of time, there has been some mild recurrence of my symptoms and I was able to get more incredibly helpful advice from Dr Ali again on how to manage this. She is very thorough in her approach and listens carefully to all of your symptoms whilst checking in along the way. She is also very good in helping you weigh up several options whilst letting you decide on which way forward would work best for you. I would strongly recommend Dr Ali to anyone with significant allergies.

Mr Vivek Srivastava

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

My stay with Dr Srivastava's team at John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford was amazing. Considering the life changing operation that I was undertaking I was made to feel both at ease & confident in their skills & at no time did I worry about a sucessful outcome to the proceedure & recovery. I was given a full breakdown of what was going to happen & when unsure of my understanding I had all my questions answered clearly & patiently. The operation itself went very smoothly from my perspective & every step of my recovery time at the hospital was made comfortable & professionally by the lovely staff there in excellent facilities. I can't stress enough how happy & grateful I am for the amazing treaatment that I have been given.

Mr Samit Unadkat

ENT Surgeon

I had an excellent experience during my recent ENT appointment with Dr. Samit Unadkat. From start to finish, the visit was smooth, professional, and reassuring, Dr. Unadkat was exceptional, knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely caring. He took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything in a clear and understandable way, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the appointment. His thorough approach and calm demeanor immediately put me at ease. I left with a clear understanding of my diagnosis and treatment plan, and I truly felt that I was in expert hands. I highly recommend Dr. Samit Unadkat to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate ENT specialist.

Dr Hemant Sharma

Gastroenterologist

I was visiting to discuss long term cough for which I have recently been taking Omeprazole for which I tried for a month but after stopping the medication the cough came back so my doctor referred me for tests. The doctor asked about my symptoms and discussed likely causes and told my about the camera test they could do to try and understand if there was any serious underlying problem. We discussed what might happen in the unlikely event that some sort of surgery might be necessary but also that staying on the medication would be the best solution if that has worked and no the results of the test show no serious problems. It was a very informative conversation

Dr Tanvi Bagtharia

Dentist

Although apprehensive about my surgery and the need for sedation Dr Bagtharia reduced my worries prior to the date of my dental procedure through an online face to face consultation which I found very reassuring. On the date of my surgery having met Tanvi on line, I felt little apprehension and my sedation passed without incident and I was grateful for the professionalism she showed throughout and the after care I received at the conclusion of my sedation. Although I hope I will have no further need for sedation in the future, if ever such an occasion should arise, I would have no hesitation in putting my care in the hands Dr Tanvi Bagtharia.

Mr Paul Haslam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

From first meeting with Mr Haslam he spoke so much in lay men’s vocabulary which gave me confidence in the procedure I was to have. Operation was just as had been discussed at the first meeting in July. I was told that a full knee replacement would be painful, which was true and even after eight weeks can still feel sore. Physiotherapists have been. So very helpful in my recovery. I was able to update Mr Haslam , how I was doing and thankfully he was delighted with my progress. I do realise that progress is ongoing for a while but I have been given confidence and assurance by Mr Haslam that all is going well.

From the very first consultation, Mr. Rahim Kaba put me at ease with his calm, professional manner and clear explanations. He took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I fully understood the aqua ablation procedure and what to expect. On the day of the operation, his team was attentive and reassuring, and I felt confident I was in the best hands. The procedure itself was smooth, and the recovery has been far easier than I anticipated. I noticed improvements quickly, and the results have genuinely made a positive difference to my daily life.

He listened to all of my concerns and found out exactly what I wanted, explaining every step of the process and answering all of my questions.

This was my first treatment session with Mr Raf Niziol and from the outset he was warm, helpful, personable and kind. His friendly demeanour immediately put me at ease and he was patient and understanding. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly and also gave plenty of space for me to share my own thoughts and ask questions. I will be switching to Mr Niziol for all future and ongoing treatment.

Everyone was so lovely and helpful. I was very anxious but was put at ease and felt safe and well looked after. Premises were clean and comfortable. I was warm and as relaxed as I could be thanks to staff. I particularly felt very thankful and impressed by how my daughter was called and kept up to date in order to time her picking me up with an Uber. This meant a lot to us. Thank you.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Pharmacy

Really simple to order medications. Fairly straightforward experience. The problem starts and ends when the fact that they use Royal mail for deliveries. Had I known, I would have ordered elsewhere. Royal mail consistently mess up on deliveries especially on my area, and it's impossible to get through to customers service (which is non-existent really at Royal Mail).
