Mr John Ferris

Ophthalmologist

Having suffered from very poor long vision I had laser surgery in both eyes about 18 years ago which for the first 7 or 8 years was exceptional and I achieved better than 20:20 vision. However, the myopia came back and while no where near as bad, it was annoying having to wear glasses or contact lenses again. Over the last couple of years I found that my near vision which was exceptional, became blurred when wearing contacts or glasses and I was on the brink of having to have various different pairs of glasses to cope with the changes. It was at this point that I started to investigate intraocular lens replacement. I researched this on and off for probably a year before I had a really good conversation with my optician and she gave me a recommendation of John. The recommendation was the missing piece for me and having read his reviews and the excellent information on his website, I knew this was something I wanted to pursue further. The initial chat with John was very informative and he kindly replied to my many questions giving full and clear answers. He was also very clear and honest from the onset of what the possible complications could be. For me this was the fact that my eyes were still myopic in shape and that I had previously had laser surgery. These areas were discussed further in our face to face meeting and having carring out a full examination, I booked surgery straight away. The wait for surgery was nerve racking and exciting in equal measures and I had chosen to get both eyes done at the same time. I also chose the Galaxy lenses as my goal was to be free of glasses and contact lenses. The procedure was carried out at Tetbury hospital which is a wonderful cottage hospital which has a very warm and welcome feeling. Alll the nurses and team there were incredibly supportive as was John who came over to say hello and administer the anesthetic drops about 30 mins before surgery. The surgery took about 45mins to an hour which included a short break inbetween eyes for all equipment to be changed. Initially you see a very bright light and feel some pressure, I had a mild bit of discomfort on one eye as we were coming to the end of the procedure but noting unpleasant. After having the first eye done, I was sat up and to be honest you see very little other than light, shadows and it looks like you have lots of water in your eye, that is the only way I can describe it. For a short time my vision was also tinted slightly orange which cleared quickly. By the time the other eye had been done, plastic goggles stuck to your face to protect the eyes, the first eye operated on was much clearer. There was no pain. The following morning it was a very bright and sunny day and there was some minor pain everytime my eyes had to adjust to light. I spent the next couple of days indoors, sometimes wearing some sun glasses which really helped. John's call at the end of the first day confirmed that everything was fine and apart from some gritty/itchy feeling, all the symptoms quickly subsided. Lots of drops supplied along with a handy reminder sheet really helped. At the four week checkin John informed me that the results were excellent and I have better than 20:20 vision for both close, medium and long distance. Some days things can be a bit blurry but this is apparently as the brain gets used to the lenses and this process can take up to 9 months. However, the results were amazing and I can't believe that this is my eyesight for the rest of my life. Lots of people have asked me what it was like, did I have my eye balls injected? Can I feel the lenses in my eyes? Did I see the knife as it cut my eye open? I can confirm that the process was a lot less terrifying than the nature of those questions and not as dramatic! I would recommend this procedure and especially John as a surgeon in a heart beat. It is life changing and brilliant to have John and his excellent team there to support and guide you through the process. I also have to recommend the fabulous service you also receive from his PA Carole-Anne, you are very well looked after.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

I've seen the Joint Injection doctor twice, had two injections, and both were very helpful. The first visit was after I suffered some tissue injury to an arthritic knee and had some fluid removed and a cortisone injection, which gave me immediate relief and was the catalyst to me returning to exercise. I was having ongoing stiffness in the same joint and returned six months later. After consultation I chose to have a hyaluronic acid injection. This made a big difference to the pain, stiffness and function of my knee and has meant I am able now to properly rebuild strength on that side. Dr Thing is easy to talk to, and I felt he really supported what I am trying to do, which is to stay highly active and delay the point I will need surgery for as long as possible. He is very well informed and explained clearly the pros and cons of various approaches to managing arthritis of the knee. He is also skilled at what he does, the injections are ultrasound guided to ensure correct placement and both injections were painless.

Good evening, Today I received the official confirmation that I have passed my viva, and as I promised, I wanted to share this happiness with you. I am writing with overwhelming joy, remembering your support and the help that I will never forget. Thank you, Doctor, from the bottom of my heart—you truly saved my life. Before contacting you, I felt I had nothing, yet in less than a year I was able to complete my thesis. It is something I could hardly believe. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown in helping someone like me. I am currently arranging my trip to Saudi Arabia next week on Wednesday, and I will return for graduation next summer. I would like to ask whether you recommend that I continue the medication. If so, my current prescription lasts month, I may need to request more, as I found that only the first medication I used is available in Saudi Arabia.

Miss Claire Mellon & Associates

I am so grateful to have had Dr. Clair Mellon as my obstetrician throughout my pregnancy and for the delivery of my baby girl. From the very first appointment, Dr. Mellon made me feel supported, informed, and truly cared for. She always took the time to answer my questions, explain each step of the process, and ensure I felt comfortable and confident. Her calm, reassuring presence made a world of difference, especially as my due date approached. During labor and delivery, Dr. Mellon was compassionate, attentive, and incredibly skilled—everything you could hope for in such an important moment. I felt safe in her hands every step of the way. I cannot thank Dr. Mellon enough for helping bring my daughter into the world with such kindness and professionalism. She is an exceptional OB, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding care.

Mr Yasin El-Wajeh

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

This morning I received fantastic treatment from Mr Yasin El-Wajeh which was delivered in a suitably upbeat, capable and compassionate manner. Time was taken to explain, to answer queries and importantly, to listen. The dentist was also really kind and reassuring which meant a lot to me as I was very, very anxious after an extremely distressing experience with an extraction years ago. Even before the treatment began, Mr Yasin El-Wajeh exuded competence and I knew I was in good hands. Indeed, he had no sooner administered anaesthetic than he was holding the offending tooth. The extraction took less than five minutes. I would highly recommend Mr Yasin El-Wajeh for his ultimate professionalism, skill and warm compassion. I am so grateful to him and the lovely staff at Scunthorpe Orthodontics.

Mr Gidon Ellis

Urologist

For a considerably long time I've had prostate related problems which seemed to come to a head with a severe and very debilitating urine infection. Mr. Ellis suggested Holep surgery to my prostate which was very enlarged. He also suggested the operation could help to prevent another infection. Well, it was extremely successful and I'm totally amazed with the result. I'm thrilled that he suggested the operation. Mr. ellis explained the possible side effects along with what was expected post operatively - it all went beautifully and as planned. I could not be happier. Millions of thanks to Gidon Ellis. Thank you for making a 77 year old guy feel like 37!

The results speak for themselves. Thank you very much to Vicky and her team.

Mr Norman Waterhouse

Plastic Surgeon

Mr. Waterhouse was my choice because of his honesty, understanding, knowledge, advice and confidence during my consultations for my neck lift and submandibular gland removal. (Which he advised In fact, around 90% of the glands were removed. Which has given me my jawline back) He tailored his approach specifically to me, and now, at 8 weeks post-op, I am extremely happy with the results. I can honestly say I experienced absolutely no pain, with minimal bruising and swelling, and my scars are already virtually undetectable. This is truly a testament to Mr. Waterhouse’s skill.

Miss Monika Kaushik

General Surgeon

I had an excellent experience with Miss Kaushik. From the moment I had my initial consultation, Miss Kaushik and her assistant were warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. I felt really comfortable with Miss Kaushik and trusted her and the staff to look after me. Miss Kaushik listened carefully to me and explained everything clearly in the lead up to my operation. She did everything I asked for and more and I would highly recommend her services and Nuffield health Leicester.

Mr Mark M Yodaiken

Ophthalmologist

I consider myself so lucky to have found Dr/Mr Yodaiken. From the very beginning he has helped my eyes so much and even saved me from having a cornea transplant with his treatment on my badly scarred left eye. He always gives my eyes a thorough examination as he did this time and l am always so reassured to hear what he has to say. I trust him implicitly and this time my tests showed my eyes had improved, all down to his treatment.

Mrs Melanie Cullis

Acupuncturist

I'm so glad I found Melanie. I'd never had acupuncture before, but had heard of it's benefits for fertility issues. Not only did Melanie provide acupuncture, but she also helped me push my GP for certain tests and then helped with understanding the results - she really was with me at every step and was the first to suggest I may have raised NK cells, which it turned out I did! I couldn't recommend her enough!

Professor Raj Bhattacharya

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Professor Bhattacharya has been incredibly helpful with my knee issue. I have seen multiple specialists who have misdiagnosed or administered the wrong treatment. Only Professor Bhattacharya has truly helped me get on the road to recovery. My injury is not huge but it has held me back for over a year so to finally speak to someone who can fully help and appreciates my problem is thoroughly relieving!

Came in for full health check. Appointment was on time. Staff very friendly. O was offered a hot drink before I sat down. Staff asked if I minded using AI technology to record my consultation. Process was explained to me. I asked if I could be tested for allergy. The Staff found out for me and, for extra charge, arranged for further bloods to be tested for allergy. Check was completed in good time.

Butterfield Osteopathy

Osteopathy, Paediatrics

I felt listened to and appropriate questions asked about my health, including what my regular osteopathy at home treated me for. Joshua treated me slightly differently to my usual practice which I appreciated, as fresh eyes often see things slightly differently, which I felt was beneficial to me. He made suggestions on exercises to do before my next appointment.

Newmedica Grimsby

Ophthalmology

The kind and helpful staff did everything to make me feel relaxed and comfortable. I had been booked in to fill a cancellation so my wait time was minimal. The operation was quick and painless and I had detailed instructions about aftercare, with numbers to ring for any further questions or in emergency at any time. I was very impressed.
