Freedom Vision - Chelmsford

Ophthalmology

I recently had bilateral cataract surgery. From start to finish the treatment I received was excellent. The patient liaison manager was really helpful, friendly, incredibly supportive and a welcome calming influence. I was amazed by the state of the art optical equipment that was available to ensure that my lenses were perfectly suited to the dimensions of my eyes and my prescription, as well as the care that the technicians took while taking the measurements. The optometrists I saw were caring and informative, ensuring that I knew about the different types of intra ocular lenses available and what I may expect from them. They carried out my eye tests with care and patience. The eye surgeon was incredibly experienced and very skilled, and carried out the procedure very efficiently with great care. Now, six weeks post-surgery, I am very grateful of the care I received and the quality and clarity of my lenses; both aspects easily surpassed all my expectations. I would highly recommend Freedom Vision, Chelmsford to anyone considering cataract surgery.

Mr Michael Nixon

Osteopath

I can’t recommend Mike highly enough. He helped me enormously with severe sciatica down my right leg about four years ago, and I recently returned with a new injury on my left lower back. Once again, the results were amazing, I felt a huge improvement and pain relief within the first session What really sets Mike apart is that he makes sure you are comfortable and he clearly explains what’s going on in your body. He helped me understand how stiffness in my upper back was causing my lower back to compensate, especially during backbends. He also gave me really practical, targeted exercises and stretches to strengthen my lower back, glutes, and upper back, which have made a big difference. Knowledgeable, effective, and genuinely invested in long-term recovery. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and have recommended him to all my friends.

Mr Awaiz Ahmed

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dear Mr Ahmed, I am writting to express my sincere gratitude to you, Mr Kotrba, Mr Lambett, Tobias, and all of your surgical team at croydon university hospital; For yours and Mr Kotrba's expertise and steady hand during my surgery for Severe Cervical Stenosis on 10 December 2025. I am aware that it was a big and delicate operation and I deeply appreciate the way you explained the risks before the procedure. This really put me at ease and was the deciding factor as to why I went ahead and "took a chance". You gave me a second chance at life, at the grand old age of 80, and I can not thank you enough. I am recovering well and feel very blessed to have had you and Mr Kotrba as my surgeons. The outcome has exceeded my expectations and I am forever grateful. Best Regards, Vallis

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

Dr Benjamin Shaw

Audiovestibular Medicine Practitioner

Dr Shaw is extremely pleasant and a great specialist. After having gone through the NHS initially to both an ENT and neurologist I was discharged from the service with little follow up or support and uncertainty as to my exact diagnosis. I continued to suffer from debilaitng symptoms including vertigo attacks and booked an initial consult with Dr Shaw. From the get go I found Dr shaw extremely easy to talk to and he takes the time to explain the potential causes etc and a management plan to treat accordingly. Talking to Dr Shaw has given me hope once again. Very throughough and one of the best drs around for vestibular issues. Would definitely reccomend.

Physio Jack Studios

Pain Management, Physiotherapy, + 1 more

Nick from Physio Jack Studios was really great. I had what I thought was a typical calf strain but all the standard treatments from another physio did not heal it. 4 weeks out from a marathon, I was unable to run 1km without pain. Nick went through a very thorough diagnostic appointment, corrected my diagnosis to an overloading issue at a specific calf/achilles muscle complex and guided me through multiple plyometric exercises and a progressive running plan to allow me to finish the marathon in 3hrs 40mins. Could not recommend him highly enough, super knowledgeable, detailed and passionate 👍

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

The staff seemed very friendly and efficient in what seemed to be quite a busy little private out patient's department. I had to have quite a few test's and checks but didn't have to wait long in-between different department's. When I got to see the consultant he was very professional and explained to me exactly what my condition was, how it was affecting my vision . He then explained how he proposed to try to correct the problem, the likely time scale for the procedure, and the cost. I also felt that he was very clear to manage my expectations when the procedure does go ahead.

Dr Jeremy Halfhide

Dermatologist

This is the third time I have visited Dr.Halfhide, as I completely trust him with my skin. Not only does he help to resolve my issues but I leave understanding more about my condition. I’ve had eczema since I was a young child, I’m now 33. I thought I had exhausted all options until I met Dr. Halfhide, I can safely say he has given me the best care and guidance I have received throughout my many years of this condition. I have a long way to go, due to many years of mistreatment but finding Dr.Halfhide has given me hope and I always leave his consultations feeling positive.

Daleswood Aesthetics

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

Fantastic service and advice. Honest, friendly and very helpful whilst being extremely professional. A really good range of options and products, expertly explained and administered. Dr Denton is not only a medical professional but a lovely, caring person dedicated to helping you look and feel better. Visiting Daleswood on many occasions has really helped me with my self-confidence, physical, and mental health. There is no hard sell, and Dr Denton will only recommend what is best for you, explaining the benefits and risks if there are any.

I recently had a great experience at Fortius Clinic London from beginning to end. My appointment started on time, the clinic was spotless and well-run, and there were very few wait times. I felt more at ease because of the friendly and professional staff. Throughout my visit, Mr. Johan Witt was kind, informed, and comforting. He made sure I was at ease at every turn and gave me a clear explanation of the process. His experience was very clear, and the hip injections went smoothly and painlessly.

Very good ,only thing is after surgery and just before final appointment I was asked for my bank details I had paid everything last Nov a month before my surgery they agreed everything was paid but wanted to have a bank card on record ,Why ? I was asked again when I went to see mr smith for my final check up ,absolutely no need if front of other people when I didn't owe anything it made me feel like I owed something even though she said it was a token just to have it on record

Peninsula Heart Clinic

Cardiology

My appointment with Dr Guy Haywood was very good. - Dr Haywood had read the briefing information I supplied about my condition. - Dr Haywood interviewed me to establish how my atrial fibrillation was affecting me. - Dr Haywood examined me and my ECG and then explained very clearly the available treatments and their limitations. I am now happy that I have a better understanding of my condition and the options open to me if my condition starts to impact my activities.

Mr Lucas Attwood

Physiotherapist

I can’t recommend Lucas highly enough. He supported me through my recovery from a fractured ankle over several months, and his expertise, patience, and encouragement made a real difference. Each session was well-structured and tailored to my progress, and he always explained the purpose behind the exercises. Thanks to Lucas, I’ve regained strength, confidence, and mobility faster than I expected. An excellent physiotherapist and a genuinely supportive person.

Professor Eli Silber

Neurologist

Professor Eli Silber always took time to explain me my symptoms, issues and cures, and responded patiently to all of my questions, no matter how trivial. When interacting from Prof. Silber, there is a deep sense that he cares about the patient and about helping them first and foremost, and all the "admin" stuff are secondary. Best neurologist I've seen in years, and I've seen quite some of them. Thank you!

Dr Rory O'Connor

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Dr O’Connor seems to genuinely want what is best for his patients and thus I trust his decision making and expertise. I never leave feeling gaslit or glazed over. He views things holistically and adopts an approach based on the patient as a whole. This is refreshing and makes seeking quality care outside of the NHS worth it. I have been satisfied with my consultations. Many thanks

Professor Siôn Glyn-Jones

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the surgery on both of my hips to repair labral tears. My left hip was particularly problematic, but the results on both sides have been truly fantastic. The improvement in my comfort and mobility has exceeded my expectations, and I am deeply grateful to Professor Sion Glyn-Jones for his expertise, care, and outstanding work.
