Fitzrovia Suite

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

We opted for private care at UCLH because we wanted the birth experience to be as positive as possible. As a medically uncomplicated patient I felt that I may not receive much attention or time on an overstretched NHS ward. I also had some anxieties around birth (as a healthcare professional myself) and felt reassured to be receiving consultant-led care, from a clinician with whom I was able to build a trusting relationship. Shalini provided exceptional care from 32 weeks pregnancy and after delivery. She got to know me and my partner, and understood our priorities and concerns. I had previously found it hard to make decisions around birth. Shalini provided us with evidence, data and her experience - this empowered us to make our decisions. She spent a lot of time with us and brought great care, empathy and kindness to her practice, as well as her excellent clinical skills. When we had questions, fears or anxieties Shalini was able to reassure us, both with her kindness and her experience and expertise. The care she provides is holistic and individualised - she advocated for me in many ways and empowered me to advocate for myself too. We had an elective caesarean at 39 weeks. The surgery was pain free and crucially for me, I felt confident and safe - something that was not natural for me in approaching birth. Shalini was close at hand to care for us before and afterwards. I made an excellent recovery and have healed extremely well. I recommend Dr Shalni in the strongest terms to mothers and families looking for private care at UCLH. Shalini is passionate about obstetrics, her patients and practising medicine. It is a great privilege to be cared for by a clinician at the top of her field, who clearly cares deeply about her patients.

Dr Deepti Cheema

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently underwent surgery under the care of Dr Cheema and her team, and I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional standard of professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion I experienced throughout the entire process. From my very first consultation, Dr Cheema took the time to explain every step of the procedure with clarity and patience. She made sure I understood the options available, the associated risks, and what I could realistically expect in terms of outcomes and recovery. Her ability to communicate complex medical information in a way that felt approachable and reassuring immediately put me at ease. On a personal level, Dr Cheema demonstrated empathy and attentiveness that truly set her apart. She listened carefully to my concerns, never rushed the conversation, and made me feel like an active partner in my own care. In the days leading up to the operation, her calm and confident manner helped relieve much of the anxiety I was feeling. Post-operatively, the follow-up care was equally outstanding. Dr Cheema checked in regularly, monitored my progress closely, and offered practical advice to support my recovery. Any questions I had were answered promptly and with genuine concern. Thanks to the collective skill and dedication of the team, my recovery has been smooth, well-managed, and far less stressful than I had anticipated. Overall, my experience with Dr Cheema and her team has been nothing short of excellent. Her blend of professional skill and personal warmth made a challenging moment in my life significantly easier. I am deeply grateful for the care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking surgical treatment delivered to the highest standard. Thank you Sunita W.

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

I saw Alex Townsend for a running injury on my foot/ankle via Bupa. He was very professional, provided great care, and was excellent at communicating his thought process as he inspected my injury. He was efficient and determined in getting me the necessary follow ups booked timely when I told him I had an upcoming race. He referred me to Dr. Burdon who was also very professional and provided great care. After our follow up, Alex provided me with useful training resources for foot taping and running. He performed walking and running gait analysis on me. It was insightful to hear his analysis, and it formed the basis for him to refer me for additional foot physio appointments to strengthen my foot and minimize chance of future injuries.
