Dentistry

I was seen by a young male dentist (apologies, he did tell me but I can't recall his name and it isn’t listed on the website – perhaps he is new). He was professional, informative, and efficient throughout my appointment. As I’m allergic to local anaesthetics, fillings can be particularly uncomfortable, but he was very reassuring and took great care, as did the dental nurse. By far, this has been the best service I’ve experienced at the practice to date. My only critique is not directed at the dentist himself, but rather the practice’s policy. Over the past couple of years, I’ve noticed that patients cannot book a filling replacement directly without first having a pre-booking consultation. This essentially doubles both the cost and the time needed off work. In my case, a chipped filling was causing pain due to decay, and it was obvious that a replacement filling was required. I had to insist several times when booking that I did not need a pre-assessment, only a filling appointment. Given that I am a private patient and a silver filling costs almost £200, being charged for an unnecessary pre-booking simply to confirm what is already evident feels unreasonable.

I can’t believe I have been sent a message asking how my appointment went and asking to rate my experience I attended my appointment to have my procedure done, the doctor went through details that had already been disgusted and proceeded to tell me that I wouldn’t be able to get the arranged procedure done as she was leaving and from a professional point of view she could not do it as she would not be there for my follow up appointment. So I’m still wondering where the professionalism was when no one contacted me to inform me of this only to be turned away after I drove an hours journey to get to my oppointment and an hour home again. A simple phone call would have been professional. This was not that the doctor was off sick or something last minute, she was leaving and was very blasé about it. Absolutely no professionalism here at all

Mr Iain Macleod

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently had shoulder surgery with Mr. Iain Macleod and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. He did a fantastic job correcting my shoulder, and the results have been excellent. What stood out to me was not only his skill as a surgeon, but also the way he and his team looked after me throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation, through the procedure, and into aftercare. I always felt supported, informed, and in safe hands. If you’re looking for a surgeon who is both highly skilled and genuinely cares about his patients, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Iain Macleod. . I’m very grateful for the outstanding care I received.

I attended HSSH for a hip examination under anaesthetic with a local anaesthetic injection with Professor Griffin. I cannot fault the administration in the run up to the procedure, or the care and attention that I had before, during and after. All the of staff, from the reception team to the team involved in the procedure itself - Prof Griffin, Dr Kazmi (anaesthetist), Rebecca (physio), Remmi (nurse) + all the theatre staff, made it efficient and comfortable. They also accommodated my request to stay a little longer than was necessary, until my partner could get to the hospital to escort me home until, which was much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use HSSH again.

Dr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos is an excellent thoracic surgeon. Totally comfortable with his skills, communication and bedside manners. I thank him, his team and all the nursing staff who cared for me during my recent thymus surgery, pre and post surgery visits. The warm and clean hospital environment, the friendly lobby and check in staff are fabulous too! Everything was seamless and efficient. Keep up the great work and I wish other hospitals, medical and non medical staff can learn from you to give the best care to their patients. Very grateful 🙏 I am recovering well. Blessings Joanne

Mr James Langdon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr James Langdon for sciatica and lower back pain. I was very nervous about having any back surgery. James’s conservative approach to treatment was very reassuring with a no ‘gung ho’ attitude for a quick fix. Surgery was decompression and bone removal. On the day of my surgery James again explained the operation and the risks. The anaesthetist and nurses at the Spire Harpenden were excellent. Pain management and post op physio was also excellent. One month after my surgery I have no pain for the first time in many years and am walking about without any aid of any kind.

Car parking can be a problem. There are some local side streets with the odd space or Sainsbury is about a 20 minute walk, think you get about 3 hours. I had my operation on a Saturday and the place seemed very quiet and peaceful, one member of staff said it's more chaotic in the week. Parking was easy at 7.30am on Saturday but I had been dropped off anyway. There are buses that stop nearby from Macclesfield bus station but I haven't tried them. It's lovely to have your own room, particularly if you're a very sensitive person. The staff on the whole treat you with respect.

Ms Erika Manzo

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

My visit was over a telephone call, which I felt was appropriate for this appointment. This was a very comfortable and open discussion between Dr Manzo and I. Additionally, I appreciated the extra knowledge given regarding how body temperature can affect my medications effectiveness so I can do everything to help myself as much as possible. It was also encouraging to understand because of our conversation that I appear to be doing other things right to help myself, especially as it can be confusing during long awaited appointments. Many thanks Dr Manza!

I recently visited Niva Medical Clinic in Stanmore for the first time and made an appointment to Dr Varsani regarding some problems I have been having regulating my high blood pressure. He listened to the issues and was very helpful in suggesting future management, including lifestyle changes, which I very much appreciated. Also I really was impressed with the very kind receptionist I met initially and shall continue to attend the clinic when necessary. Mrs A.R. Edgware

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Was treated by Dr Raiman. Unhurried and attentive with an easy and thoughtful manner. Accurately identified problem and his prediction was ultimately the correct diagnosis. Very pleased to be offered range of optional conservative treatments instead of rushing to immediate intervention. Appropriate treatment by medication and physio which cured issue effectively with minimal fuss. Overall, a comforting and reassuring experience.

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine

The care at the Portland was beyond what I was expecting from the experience. Not only did they care for me, they also made sure my husband was looked after too. My only issue was actually trying to book in with the Portland - it wasn’t clear what the process was and a few of the booking staff at the were rude when I was asking questions. In the end it was my consultant that was able to support me through this.

Miss Bethanie-Jayne Smith

Psychologist

Bethanie-Jayne was someone I found very comfortable in opening up to, both in the office in Deal and in an online setting. She was marvellous and we built a rapport very quickly as part of the assessment process. I found that she was very clear and understanding when it comes to seeing expectations for the process and how the assessments were to take place

Mr Adam Blackburn

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Blackburn was approachable, friendly, reassuring and informative throughout the process. He was professional at all my appointments and always answered any questions I had. His post surgery advice and encouragement to "get moving" made an enormous difference to my physical and mental health. I have and would recommend him to friends and family.

Mr Zack Best

Podiatrist

Zack has made a big difference to the health of my feet, advising the right treatments for fungal nail and dry skin, and how to tie running shoe laces to avoid nail trauma - and directing me to a specialist who identified and ameliorated the effects of a Morton’s Neuroma. I will continue to see Zack. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Dr James Hickey

Dermatologist

Dr. Hickey was charming, very explicit about the spot on my knee, which he pointed out is situated in an awkward place if surgery is required. I am of course reluctant to go ahead with the surgery if, as he pointed out, I would be laid up for a month. I wonder if he could perhaps look at an easier method if it turns out to be cancerous..

Mr Graham Tytherleigh-Strong

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr. Tytherleigh-Strong is kind and professional, but his words did not meet expectations. Over promised and under delivered. Personally would not recommend for Latarjet procedure as it's been a year since my surgery and there are still complications. He is almost near impossible to contact and I have yet to get a solution.
