Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Having met several obstetricians in our hunt for the right DR we immediately fell for and felt connect too Dr Shalini. She quickly put us at ease of our fears and understood what worried us in relation to the birthing process, reassuring us with comfort and competence. Dr Shalini did not let us down post our first meeting, always being available (at all hours) and showed unreserved dedication to making sure we were catered for in every way we needed, and that we were her priority. In the end the birth was not going as originally planned, Dr Shalini handled the situation calmly and kept us informed yet not scared. All was explained, we were involved the whole way, all the way through the eventual C-section, this was after Dr Shalini had gone over and beyond to try and keep our wishes of a natural birth. The C-section was unavoidable for both me and our baby, and was done so well that I was up and walking the same day and have not had any complications since. Everyone who has since seen my scar has paid it compliments (and I normally scar badly), and after 19 days the scar is a distant line. We are wanting to plan more babies and would not consider another but Dr Shalini to be with us all the way. She calmed me, looked after me and reassured me, never leaving me/us feeling alone. Through the whole birth Dr Shalini maintained eye contact and connection with me, I felt constantly looked after. I feel we have parted as more than friends. THANK YOU DR SHALINI

Willow Health

General Practice (GP), Holistic Therapy, + 2 more

I had an initial appointment with Dr Lauren Colquhoun and Emily Holt at Willow Health, and honestly, it was such a positive experience. The appointment was meant to be an hour, but there was absolutely no rush and they actually spent around 1 hour 15 minutes with me just to make sure everything was covered properly. They really look at everything, my age, lifestyle including diet, exercise and sleep pattern, my long-term health conditions, and all the symptoms I’ve been struggling with. They didn’t rush me at all. They gave me some initial ideas to get started and said we’d talk through options once I’d had time to think things over and review the follow up materials, which I really appreciated. I left feeling genuinely supported and reassured. It was the first time in a long while that I felt confident I was getting the right advice, something you just don’t get in a 10-minute GP appointment. Would 100% recommend Willow Health to anyone needing proper advice, guidance and support.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I was at St Josephs for a repair to the rotator cuff of my right shoulder. Admission was at 11:00 hrs and I was shown to a private room with ensuite bathroom, bed, easy chair and TV with Internet and Sky access. A nurse took a set of observations and both the surgeon and anaesthetist came in to discuss my surgery and confirm my consent. At 12:00 I walked in gown and slippers to the operating theatre and once on the operating table I was connected to various monitors. A pre med drug was injected via a canula on the back of my right hand. At 13:00hrs I woke up in the recovery room with the operation complete. After a short while my bed was wheeled back to my room. Further sets of observations were taken and later I was given my choice of post op snack and coffee. A physio came to see me and gave me a sheet of recommended exercises. At 19:00 my daughter arrived to take me home. I was happy with all aspects of the day.

Mr Vladimir Revicky

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

As a nurse and midwife I was always going to have a strong opinion about the choice of Consultant I would see. Based upon a profile of professional credentials and special interests on Circle Health Group website, I made a personal choice of a private referral to Dr Vladimir Revicky at Ross Hall Hospital Glasgow. My experience has been extremely positive. Dr Revicky’s manner was professional, empathetic and he took the time to listen to me regarding my ongoing urology/ gynaecology issues. He explained my condition in great detail in a manner easy to understand . He also explained procedures and treatment options in great detail, along with answering all my questions thoroughly without making me feel rushed. He clearly demonstrated compassionate and reassuring care, also involving me in medical decisions. Overall a positive experience and would definitely recommend 100%

Spire St Anthony's Hospital

Dermatology, General (Internal) Medicine, + 21 more

I had a lumbar microdiscectomy at St Anthony’s and the care I received was exceptional from start to finish. The staff were incredibly kind, patient and attentive throughout my stay. In the post-operation recovery area, the Irish nurse who looked after me was especially wonderful. I’m so sorry I can’t remember her name — I was still a bit loopy after the anaesthetic — but she was unbelievably kind, gentle and reassuring at a moment when I really needed it. On the ward, Rose was also fantastic. She checked on me regularly, made sure I was comfortable, and was so warm and supportive. Her kindness made the first night after surgery much easier. Overall, the team at St Anthony’s made what could have been a very stressful experience feel calm and safe. I’m really grateful for the care I received and would highly recommend the hospital.

Harley Street Hearing

Audiology, Ear Care

I had a very good first visit to Harley Hearing and wish I had known about and visited this practice when I first had hearing problems 25 years ago! Now I feel very grateful to the senior clinician whom I saw. She put me at ease immediately and she understood the problems I had been having with my current hearing aids. She gave me a hearing test and explained clearly to me the reasons for the loss and suggested a maker that would be able to supply a hearing aid which would give me much improved hearing. I trust her judgment and look forward to wearing my new aids. All the staff were friendly and kind and supportive and, having had experience of both NHS and other private audiologists, I can recommend this practice unreservedly.

I had an excellent experience at Nuffield Hospital Guildford. The hospital was very easy to find, and the reception team were welcoming and efficient. Check-in was quick, and within a few minutes I was seen by the doctor, which was impressive. The facilities were modern and spotless, with a comfortable waiting area and both hot and cold drinks available. The building itself feels contemporary and well maintained, creating a calm and professional environment. The staff were courteous, organised, and clearly experienced, which gave me confidence throughout my visit. Overall, a very smooth and professional experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Nuffield Hospital Guildford.

Essex Private GP

Absolutely 5star experience everytime at this wonderful private practice. The service, the time given to you and the kindness and knowledge of the amazing doctors is just second to none.

He has helped us so much over the years and is always available for support if needed. Would not hesitate to recommend, in fact many of our friends and family now use the practice and all speak so highly of every doctor. Thank you Essex Private GP for everything.

Cooden Medical Group

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology, + 4 more

My first appointment was cancelled by the clinic this was after telling me to pay the fee upfront and re booked two weeks later. I arrived on time for my appointment and was told there would be a delay again. After waiting for sometime I asked the staff to find out what the delay was I was then seen by the clinician half an hour later. My experience with the clinician I felt was not worth the fee. I was not examined correctly I was not given any advice as to how to deal with the issue and the letter I received afterwards was not very accurate or informative. So I would not go back again or recommend.

Dr. John Whitaker

Cardiologist

This was the clearest medical consultation I have ever had. Dr Whitaker’s grasp and balance, his clear and detailed explanations and his kindness and honesty were simply outstanding. I now have the clarity I needed to decide the way forward with my longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation. He also took the pressure away and left me feeling positive, which is rare. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him and feel lucky to have consulted him. He has performed an ablation on my brother who is absolutely of the same opinion.

Mr Amit Patel

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Had an unfortunate accident falling down the stairs and breaking my ankle. After my initial NHS surgery, I went to see Mr Patel privately and feel incredibly privileged to have come under his care. He performed a revision surgery and treated me with exceptional patience and compassion, especially as I was a very nervous patient. His secretary has also been incredibly supportive throughout. I am now on the road to recovery with renewed confidence and feel genuinely grateful. An outstanding professional, highly recommended.

Mr Aruna Dharmasena

Ophthalmologist

We attended a private consultation when I noticed my 3 month old baby had a lump under her eyebrow. I wasn’t satisfied with our GP’s advice / diagnosis therefore booked to see Mr Dharmasena. His secretary was great and organised a consultation the same week even on the weekend. Mr Dharmasena was friendly, professional and really reassuring and provided confidence during an anxious time that he knew what the problem was and can help our baby with her Dermoid cyst, Congenital craniofacial malformations, Orbital surgery.

Mr Raghu Ram Vindlacheruvu

Neurosurgeon

I am a patient with chronic illnesses and it was so refreshing to meet a consultant who not only understood them, but looked at my problem taking an overall health approach as opposed to a specific problem approach. I felt genuinely listened to, understood, and my overall Health taken into account. He also understood all the medications I am on. I left feeling listened to to with a forward plan.

I am extremely happy with the services I received from HCA Harborne hospital, right from the first consultation I had with my consultant, and throughout the hospital stay after my procedure and during my further clinical follow-ups. All the clinical and non-clinical staff members I have encountered have been very professional, kind and gentle in their approach.

I have had a follow up appointment after having bowel and bladder prolapse repair and vaginal hysterectomy.. Mr Hassan has made me feel at ease from the very start, at my follow up appointment we discussed any issues I might have following my procedure and health care going forward. Mr Hassan is an excellent surgeon, I feel very lucky to have had him .

Ms Shikha Kapur

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Wonderful experience under the care of Dr Kapur; she’s brilliant and reassuring in every way. I had a procedure to remove polyps from my uterus and it was performed with great ease and there was no discomfort. She went ahead to explain it all, including the results in great detail taking her time. She’s an absolute star.
