The Royal Marsden Private Care - Cavendish Square

Oncology

I have been under the care of Dr Alistair Ring since September 2024, and from my very first visit to The Royal Marsden, I knew I had made the right decision to begin chemotherapy there. During our initial consultation, Dr Ring immediately put me at ease, even though I had just received a difficult test result minutes before our meeting. He took the time to explain the Oncotype test for example and the treatment options available, making it clear that every step of my care would be centred around me. Dr Ring’s attention to detail and his encouragement to ask questions gave me great confidence and helped me feel empowered throughout my treatment. Following chemotherapy, I began medication that induced menopause, and thanks to his early guidance on potential side effects and how to manage them, I felt fully prepared. I also appreciate that he has been open to ongoing conversations about my treatment, including exploring HRT options, this openness means a great deal. The clinical staff at The Royal Marsden have been exceptional. They have consistently provided compassionate, professional care, and I genuinely look forward to seeing them at each follow-up. They remember small details and speak to me as a person, not just a patient, which makes every visit a positive experience. I cannot recommend Dr Ring and The Royal Marsden highly enough. I am deeply grateful for the outstanding care and support I have received and continue to receive from the entire team.

Cleveland Clinic London

Anaesthetics, Cardiology, + 10 more

I had two excellent experiences at the Cleveland yesterday. First Norman did the most thorough and careful echocardiogram. He took endless trouble so as to give the cardiologist views of my heart and its valves from every angle and perspective. The cardiologist was most impressed and helped by all the additional information this gave him. Dr Sam Dawkins, my cardiologist told me and showed me by using these images how well the TAVI and the reduction of the septum are working as they have not only hugely improved flow through my aortic valve but also through my mitral valve. Dr Dawkins is a brilliant cardiologist and an amazing thinker. I was faced with open heart surgery to replace two valves and excision of thickened areas of heart muscle; a very risky operation with a long and maybe unsuccessful period of recovery. Dr Dawkins devised the novel procedures he carried out on me on 24/10/24. The success of this is totally down to his skill and the trouble he took. He was excellently supported by the doctors and staff of the Cleveland during the operation. I hope he is able to share the knowledge of my operation with other cardiologists so more patients can avoid open heart surgery and be given back their health the way I was. Thank you Dr Dawkins

I am so thrilled with my experience at Weymouth Street Hospital, London, after having had cataracts removed in both of my eyes, by Mr Hove of Blue Fin Vision. I can see clearly now, both distance and close up, reading, computer etc, etc.. ; no need for any glasses. Mr Hove is truly amazing - so caring, kind and professional. He explained everything to me in my assessment on Monday 8th December, in Chelmsford and actually had the operation in such a short time - Thursday 11th December! I am a new person now ! Doctor Carlos, the anesthetist, was also so kind and caring. I felt thoroughly at ease for my operation. Many, many thanks to everybody, including the kind nurse. My husband and I were both given a delicious meal afterwards, which was really appreciated - so welcome. Thank you very, very much for everything, everybody

Dr Mohammed Al-Khateeb

Audiologist

I had been struggling with my hearing for a long time and visited several doctors, but unfortunately there was no improvement and no clear diagnosis. It was only when I met Dr Mohammed Al-Khatib that I finally understood what my real problem was. He is an outstanding ENT doctor — extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. He took the time to listen carefully, explained my condition in a clear and reassuring way, and made me feel confident from the first appointment. Although my hearing had not improved before, Dr Al-Khatib was the first doctor who truly identified the issue and put me on the right path. I am very grateful for his expertise and care, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent ENT specialist.

Mr Tim Duncan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Just over 4 weeks post-op from a total laparoscopic hysterectomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy, and I am feeling massively relieved and happy. Mr Duncan is a rare find: a surgeon who combines elite technical skill with genuine compassion. From the initial consultation to the post-op follow-up (where he patiently helped remove surgical glue and reassured me about my pathology results), he has been professional and composed. He successfully navigated a tricky surgery that required more incisions than originally expected, yet my recovery has been faster and less painful than I expected. Thank you for giving me my peace of mind back! p.s.: Special mention to his admin team who has been incredibly helpful and efficient.

The staff were incredibly helpful, understanding and supportive. I explained my concern and was given an urgent appointment. Vanessa S is the perfect person for her role and puts people at ease immediately. She secured me a hearing test and a consultation appointment on the same day. She also helped me with some of the administrative elements of using my private healthcare as the process has changed since I last used it. Very helpful, friendly, professional and reassuring. I was greeted on arrival, immediately shown to the waiting area and taken straight through to my first appointment, even though I was a few minutes early. Cannot fault the service I received and the care and professionalism was consistent throughout.

I came in today for surgery feeling incredibly nervous after a bad experience on the NHS previously, all I can say is I am so impressed with how different the process has been with the team today. Everyone from reception to the nurses to the anesthesiologist and of course Mr Banwell were genuinely fantastic and I can’t thank them enough. No question or ask was too much, I truly felt genuine care and warmth from all the staff. They checked on me regularly, reassured me constantly. My pain has been managed incredibly well and Mr Banwell’s precision has most definitely aided this too. I can’t be more grateful for everyone that cared for me today, Thank you all so much.

Mrs Ami Shukla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Ami Shukla is the first gynaecologist who listened to me and understood my concerns and worries. I left feeling reassured that my issues will now be looked at properly. Before seeing Ms Shukla I was feeling really lost I found GP's don't really understand womens health. I was previously put on antidepressants and was told that I was feeling a certain type of way because this was all in my head and this was put down to mental health when in realitiy my HRT needed looking at. The HRT was not quite right which is why I booked into see Ami Shukla who has now put my mind at ease and is helping me with my women issues. I highly recommend Ms Shukla to everyone.

London Pregnancy Clinic

I went at 11 weeks for a scan and for a NIPT test. The booking process was excellent, the members on the phone were so helpful and considerate. My appointment with Dr Desi was on time and extremely thorough. She was so compassionate, caring and kind throughout the appointment, explaining everything each step of the way and being extremely thorough through the scan and explaining our NIPT options. It’s the best consulting experience I’ve had throughout my pregnancy. Reception staff were extremely helpful too. I would really recommend LPC to any expecting couples. An excellent experience end-to-end

Mr Francesc Malagelada

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot recommend Mr Malagelada highly enough. From the initial consultation through to surgery and recovery, his care and professionalism were exceptional. I underwent bunion surgery with an excellent outcome — the correction is outstanding, recovery was smooth, and the final result exceeded my expectations both functionally and aesthetically. My foot is now pain-free and feels completely transformed. Mr Malagelada is highly skilled, calm and reassuring, and took great care to explain every step of the process. I am extremely grateful and would recommend him without hesitation.

On arrival, and in good time, there was a huge que at the reception desk with only one member of staff trying to deal with patients. We waiting a very long time even to be acknowledged so, not wanting to be late for our appointment, we made our own way to the area A. We were then approached another member of staff in Area A who was able to give us the forms we should have received at reception. Knowing that a significant number of patients were due in the recetion should have been fully staffed with an expeditious way in processing through.

Mr Tamer Ghatwary Tantawy

Vascular Surgeon

From the first consultation with Mr Ghatwary, through surgery , follow up consultations and final discharge, I was treated with compassion, care and true professionalism. I clearly understood the surgery I was to under go and the reason for the choice. Without doubt I needed surgery to ease the discomfort I was suffering with, and I’m now delighted that I am discomfort free and cosmetically my body is returning to normality. I could not have been treated better or wished for a better result had I been treated as a private patient.

Mr Mahantesh Karoshi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently underwent an open myomectomy performed by Mr Karoshi, and I cannot speak highly enough of the care I received. From the initial consultation through to the surgery and post-operative follow-up, he was exceptional - highly attentive, knowledgeable, and personable throughout. His calm manner and clear expertise put me completely at ease at every stage. My recovery has been far quicker than I expected, and I could not have hoped for a better experience. I would highly recommend Mr Karoshi.

Amazing consultation and face scan with Eleni who prescribed an Obagi skincare system which is making my skin look brighter, tighter and fresher already. Several treatments from Monica which I am delighted with after having old cheek fillers dissolved from another clinic years ago. I feel like I have my old self back but renewed and refreshed because of Monica’s expert treatments giving a natural soft more youthful look. Very happy customer!

Miss Tasha Gandamihardja

General Surgeon

I have to admit I was scared but all the staff were lovely, relaxed and friendly but also confident in what they were doing. They all took time to explain what would be happening and answer my questions. They never rushed me. All this gave me confidence in them. For me the best part was getting the result on the day actually within a couple of hours. I would recommend this clinic to anyone I speak to in similar circumstances.
