The Focal Therapy Clinic

Oncology

I went for an independent assessment of my prostate cancer diagnosis with a possible view to private treatment if I did not get chosen for focal therapy on the NHS trial that I hade been offered. Also to help me make my mind up which of the many options offered to me by the NHS A consultation was quickly arranged via Mr Doherty’s p.a. for £250 which my wife and I attended. I was given an excellent appraisal at the meeting followed by a letter that outlined a meeting Mr Doherty had with his peers to discuss my case. The letter confirmed that in their opinion focal therapy was a good option in my particular case having had access to my medical records This in my view was an excellent service for the fee but I was lucky enough to be chosen for this focal treatment under the NHS trial, I would have gone private had not my private medical insurance rejected my claim (that is another story) I am however indebted to Mr Doherty’s help and service which he provided So far the day operation held in Oxford on the 10th Nov 2025 has had very few downsides although I am still awaiting the final result on Jan 13th 2026 and hoping for a positive result from my consultant on this day The treatment was far less intrusive that the other options offered to me for which I count myself very lucky. Under the trial I will be monitored so that the NHS can find out how the longer term prognosis is for focal treatments so they are able to offer this more widely in the NHS. For my selfish sake I hope that it is good news for me and will enable others to benefit from my experience now and in the future. I am aged 74 and look forward to good health for the foreseeable future.🤞

Mr Omar Ahmed

Plastic Surgeon

Twelve months ago, I underwent surgery following a fall that caused a bleed on the brain and significant damage to the nerves on the left side of my face. The nerves had realigned incorrectly during recovery, leaving me with a noticeably crooked appearance and difficulty with facial expression. After several consultations with Mr Ahmed, we agreed on a surgical plan to remove and correct some of the affected nerves to help restore my facial symmetry, expression, and smile. One year on, the progress has been remarkable. The improvements in my facial movement and overall confidence have been significant. I saw Mr Ahmed again today, and he took the time to review my progress in detail. He explained the positive changes achieved so far and arranged to see me again in six months to assess further development from ongoing physiotherapy. At that point, we will discuss whether any additional treatment, surgery, or support may be beneficial. I am extremely grateful to Mr Ahmed for his expertise, guidance, and the results I have achieved to date. His support throughout this journey has been invaluable, and I truly appreciate the care he has provided.

One Ashford Hospital

Dermatology, Pain Management, + 21 more

O 13 December I attended for a pre-med prior to spinal tap. Very good treatment until advised that the spinal tap cancelled due to my ECG. I was urged to immediately contact my GP or A&E. At Worthing A&E I was advised that due to current medication that I am taking for this issue it would have been OK to continue with the spinal tap and it was suggested that One Hospital refused to continue due to your lack of facility if the op went wrong. The journey to One Hospital, 90 miles each way, the time taken for that journey and the pre med followed by 2 hours in A&E was expensive. Before attending One Hospital I had completed a form at your request which listed the medication that I was taking and the reason. Why was I invited to that pre med? This is the second time that One Hospital have refused to go ahead with an operation that was subsequently completed by NHS without a problem. I now have no confidence in the One Hospital and will not seek further appointments.

Mr Feiran Wu

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Wu for my carpal tunnel syndrome which I had had for many years. I was just ignoring it as I didn’t want surgery. When I first saw him he was so professional and reassuring. I had my nerve conduction tests done and it demonstrated moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. I then assumed I could leave well alone and he very kindly and assertively said I should have surgery because if I left it the surgery might not be so successful. I had endoscopic surgery under a local block. The whole surgical experience was amazing. His whole theatre team were kind and efficient. My symptoms were cured immediately and I had my first good nights sleep for years. At 6 weeks the hand has healed so well and I’m even back to playing golf. The whole experience from beginning to end has been fabulous. Thankyou Mr Wu

Mr Christopher Mark Andrews

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I found it easy to book an appointment to see Mr. Andrews and the consultation was thorough and my condition was explained to me in terms that I easily understood. Mr. Andrews arranged for me to have an MRI scan and the appointment came through within days. The MRI scan procedure was simple and again everything was explained to me. I am having a telephone conversation with Mr. Andrews this week to find out the results of my scan and discuss the way forward. Mr. Andrews replaced a hip joint for me thirteen years ago which was life changing for me , as I am a farmer. This enabled me to go about my farming activities free from pain and regaining my mobility. I can't speak highly enough of Mr. Andrews.

Freedom Vision - Cambridge

Ophthalmology

Impossible to speak to anyone in Cambridge which was very frustrating. am used to being seen privately and this did not come up to the usual standard. Although the staff were very polite and friendly I felt that nobody was sure what to do and did not fill me with confidence. I have never gone privately and only seen the surgeon on the day of the operation with no follow up appointment with the actual surgeon. I was left with a cut on the skin to the left of my eye and an indentation across my eyebrow which I feel had probably been caused by the clamp used to keep my eyelid open. I was left feeling that for some reason the private sector in Cambridge was struggling. A great pity.

Mr Samuel Rajaratnam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Both Mr. Rajaratnam and the physiotherapist that visited me at home ( not the hospital physio's) strongly emphasized not to do any strengthening exercises for the first few weeks but restrict myself to just bending the knee aiming to get a 130 degree bend after 3 weeks. Heating the wound with a hot water bottle helped to loosen up the knee prior to doing this exercise. This was contrary to what the physiotherapists in the hospital were advocating , Anyway after 6 weeks I can bend the operated knee almost as much as I can the other one and I'm walking normally and I am now starting on strengthening exercises.

Dr James Gamble

Cardiologist

My entire experience with Dr Gamble and the staff has always been outstanding. My appointments are greeted with polite and friendly staff and everything is on time. I find Dr Gamble very friendly and easy to discuss my health matters with. He explains everyone very well and I always receive his report very shortly after my visit. It's nice not to have to try and remember the details of our discussions. I definitely that Dr Gamble listens and understands my feelings when we do discuss my health condition. I feel personally attended and not like the "next patient".

HCA Healthcare UK The Portland Hospital

Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Fertility Medicine, + 1 more

The C-section itself was handled in an extremely professional and calm manner at The Portland Hospital. All of the midwives were exceptional; kind, reassuring, and incredibly supportive both during the procedure and throughout my recovery. The post operative care was excellent, and the team went above and beyond to support us as first-time parents, offering guidance and reassurance whenever needed. Our experience at The Portland Hospital was outstanding, and we felt genuinely cared for at every stage.

Spire Methley Park Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 14 more

Very good overall. Minor gripes only would be the limited parking, limited capacity in waiting areas and that some seating is too low to meet the needs of hip / knee patients . The roll out of the new call centre facility makes for a patchy experience at times and it’s concerning that online accounts fail to show all patient appointments - even with the consultants - which may lead to confusion and potential missed appointments. Work in progress and will surely iron out in time.

Prof. Andrew Davies

General Surgeon

Mr Davies was excellent throughout my initial consultation, operation and post operative care. I had all the information about my condition and the procedure explained in detail along with all my questions answered in detail. I would also like to comment on Mr Davies surgical skills, I’m super impressed with the neatness of the scar tissue and the dressings applied post surgery. I would absolutely recommend Mr Davies.

Well Life Clinic Oxted

Allergy Medicine, Clinical Genetics, + 12 more

The receptionists were incredibly kind getting me a drink when I walked in. I have been feeling very poorly and it was a relief to book in on the same day and be seen. The doctor was so thorough in my consultation. 20 minutes is a good amount of time to have a proper discussion. Antibiotics were needed - the dr sent me a code to give to the chemist to get my prescription. All very easy and straightforward.

Reflex 18 - Colchester

Acupuncture, Orthotics, + 5 more

First time at Reflex 18 and had had good reports from Colchester Harriers. Was seen by Josh Harvey who went through my running history and then took a look at two niggles (ankle and knee). It was great to go through some of the rehab exercises with Josh to make sure I was confident to do these at home. All in all an great experience and Id have no hesitation in recommending Reflex 18 to others.

Dr Emily Lord

Sexual Health Doctor

I cannot recommend Dr Lord enough! I went to her today after months of worrying about recurrent thrush and a very long list of my worries to share. She listened to every single thing I had to say and at no point did I feel rushed. I've left with an action plan and feel confident and happy again. My mind is at ease which is worth any cost!

Wellness in Motion Physio Therapy Chislehurst

Physiotherapy

Chris and the team are excellent, I always have the experience of being personally cared for by all of the team. Chris has a wealth of knowledge and experience the transcendence physiotherapy. I often walk away from the sessions with a deeper understanding of physio therapy, which is something I really appreciate.

Dr George Bownes

Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I have been so fortunate to be seen by Dr. Bownes. I was devastated when my Achilles injury happened but he has been always calm and he helped me mentally and physically. Still it will take some time to heal complete but I have a peace in my mind knowing that he is there if something happens.
