Dr. Gergana Peeva

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

This review is 4 years later than it should be, because I only today came across the scan code to do a review. 4 years or 40 years, I will never forget the magnificent Dr Gergana Peeva who delivered our second and final child for our family. I had a very traumatic experience when I was forced into an elective c section at another hospital with our first child, the choice to have a natural birth was taken from me despite my having no medical issues but because I was an older mum, the Dr strongly advised it and as I didn’t know any better, i made the mistake of listening to the Dr. It took me many years to recover from the traumatic c section when induction failed. So second time around, I chose Homerton Hospital as I read many good things on the Care Commission website. When my waters broke, I made it clear at the hospital I wanted to have a natural birth, the difference it the nurses and Dr’s listened to me this time and this really made all the difference to me both mentally and emotionally. After 2 days and much helpful, caring and understanding dialogue between the Dr’s and myself, I agreed to a c section. But this time it was my decision and it was because I understood natural birth was not progressing which was harmful to the baby. Dr Peeva took me aside and gently explained things and we went through my concerns. The nurse who assisted, I can’t remember her name due to the years that have passed, I think her name was Genesis, was also wonderful in her care towards me. I was open to all staff on my previous traumatic c- section at the other hospital and they were willing to listen and their empathy made my second birth, albeit a c section again as I had not wanted, a much better and happier overall experience. When Dr Peeva held up our baby following delivery and imitated the scene from the lion king, it has etched in my mind and memory with deep fondness for her. I can and will never forget the kindness, professionalism and simply goodness of Dr Peeva, a wonderful and amazing human being regardless of her profession.

Hormone Health

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

When booking the consultation with Nick Panay, the earliest available date was 2 months in advance. I was required to pay the full £395 under pressure at time, being told that the consultation would be lost unless I paid by 5pm. My understanding that this appointment would be for specialist, in-depth input tailored to a complex clinical history. Given that context, I was disappointed that the consultation felt limited to a reiteration of guideline-based recommendations, with little opportunity to explore causation, individual nuance, or the specific questions I had prepared. At several points during the consultation, I felt that my questions were closed down rather than explored, and the overall tone felt more directive than supportive. Given my long and complex medical history, I had hoped for a more compassionate and collaborative approach. Instead, I left the consultation feeling unheard and dismissed, which was distressing. I had hoped for greater depth and collaborative discussion, particularly in light of the significant upfront cost. I was given no additional value beyond what I already knew and was told in any case, that I required a further consultation to finalise a treatment plan. I have been in contact with the practice and explained that the consultation did not meet the reasonable expectations set by the cost, structure, or positioning of this service. I appreciate that since, I have received a considered response from the Practice Manager and the consultation and fee are being reviewed.

Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I can’t recommend Shalini highly enough. She is one of the most kind, compassionate, and thoughtful people I’ve ever met, and she truly goes above and beyond for her patients. Having multiple underlying health issues, it was important for me to have someone who was empathetic, understanding, and mindful of my additional needs. She spent time getting to know me and made me feel reassured and supported throughout my pregnancy journey. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I developed further complications with gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. During this time, Shalini was constantly checking in on me, always making me feel safe, calm, and reassured, and never once making me feel worried or dismissed. Our beautiful baby girl was brought into the world earlier than initially planned at 36 weeks due to the pre-eclampsia and how the baby was tracking, and I genuinely don’t think I would have got through this frightening period without her constant reassurance and support. Even now, one week postpartum, she is still checking in on me, which shows how much she truly cares. I couldn’t have felt more comfortable or confident with a consultant, and I will forever be thankful for her support.

Dr Farah Rehman

Oncologist

Dr Rehman is exceptional! In this meeting, as in all the others, she demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the issues and her communication was excellent. She always brought us into the solution by helping us understand her prescription choices and the rationale behind them. Further, she paid attention to what we had to say about the symptoms etc. and importantly, also our state of mind and opinions. This was particularly reassuring. When she couldn’t give us exactly what we requested or suggested, she always helped we understand why and then provide more suitable alternatives. She came up with some treatment suggestions that we weren’t initially keen on but on further reflection, realise those may actually be perfect. In this meeting, as with all the others, she demonstrated, professionalism, knowledge understanding and empathy. And it’s perhaps her empathy and care that have always stood out the most, and given us that needed reassurance throughout the process.

Dr Venkataswamy Mahesh

Gastroenterologist

This doctor (Mahesh) has completely transformed life with chronic constipation. The appointment started with a really thorough, calm discussion of a long history of symptoms, and for the first time everything felt properly listened to and joined up. The examination was focused and not excessive, just what was needed to work out the next steps. The colonoscopy was explained clearly beforehand, carried out gently, and felt very safe throughout, with clear results and what they meant. Afterwards, a newer laxative was recommended alongside very practical dietary changes and pre‑/probiotic advice, all tailored to day‑to‑day routines rather than some leaflets. ​ Since then, bowel habits have improved dramatically, pain and bloating are so much better, and normal life feels possible again. It genuinely feels like someone finally understood the problem and offered a long‑term plan rather than a quick fix, and I have a huge gratitude for the care and expertise given.

Mr Arun Prasath Shanmuganandan

General Surgeon

I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to doctor Arun for the excellent care I received during my surgery in November. From the beginning, I felt very well looked after, and the procedure itself was handled with great professionalism and skill. The outcome of the surgery has been very positive, and I am extremely pleased with the results. What stood out most to me was the doctor’s empathy and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns, understood the impact the problem was having on me, and addressed everything clearly and reassuringly. This made a significant difference to my experience and helped me feel confident and at ease throughout the process. Thank you for the high standard of care and for treating me with such kindness and respect. I am very grateful.

Spire Bristol Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 18 more

I am transformed! I came to see Mrs Langton Hewer because I had suddenly gone completely deaf in one ear. She listened to me when I explained my anxieties and then examined my ears. She diagnosed otis externa which was causing pain and there was water behind the wax causing deafness. She then very carefully removed wax and debris from my ear and my hearing was immediately restored. I am so grateful that this was diagnosed so expertly and then sorted out immediately. I would strongly recommend her for ear problems and for removal of ear wax. Thank you.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I was naturally very apprehensive about the procedure but was met with friendly reassurance at every stage of the process. Everyone was very helpful, always very anxious to answer all questions, and very keen to help in any and every way. All procedures were carefully explained and it was always made sure I’d understood and was happy to proceed. I can’t speak highly enough of all the care I received from every member of staff I met at every stage of the process

Living Mind

Psychiatry

Living Mind provides a very high standard of care for ADHD treatment. The overall process was well organised, professional, and efficient, from initial assessment through to ongoing support. Communication was clear and timely, and the approach felt structured while still being personalised. The quality of care has had a clear positive impact on my daily functioning, and I would confidently recommend the clinic to others seeking specialist ADHD support.

Mr Syed Ali Shahzad

Urologist

When I thought there were no viable options for my prostate problems and that I would have an in-dwelling catheter for the rest of my life, Mr Shahzad proposed a solution. He proposed a non-invasive prostate procedure, aquablation. He explained everything thoroughly and I felt confident to go ahead. The procedure, and the successful outcome have been remarkable. A wonderful, caring and highly skilled professional who I can recommend unreservedly.

Skin Horizon

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

I had an excellent experience at SkinHorizon Clinic for hair loss treatment. I completed three courses of microneedling with exosomes and the results have been outstanding—visible improvement in hair density and overall scalp health. The team is professional, knowledgeable, and truly attentive throughout the process. I highly recommend SkinHorizon Clinic to anyone seeking effective and advanced hair loss solutions.

Mr Arvind Mittal

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently underwent laparoscopic surgery with Dr. Arvind Mittal to treat my blocked fallopian tubes, and I couldn't be happier with the care I received. He explained the procedure clearly beforehand, putting me at ease and preparing me mentally. The surgery was successful, and I'm grateful for his expertise. His after-care advice was thorough and reassuring. Thank you, Dr. Mittal, for your skill and compassion.

Mr Sam Wilde

Physiotherapist

Sam provided the best physiotherapy care I have received. I had a long standing back injury for well over a year, had seen many different professionals about it, and he fixed it in a matter of weeks. If you are struggling with an issue for a long time and feeling hopeless then he is your guy. He's helped me with various other issues also - he is my go-to physiotherapist for any issues I have now.

Recently attended HCA Harborne as an inpatient. Every member of staff from the nurses, the caterers and the cleaner was incredibly professional. Nice room which was, as you’d expect, spotless. Nobody wants to be in hospital but HCA make the whole experience a stress free as possible
