Dr Asif Qasim

Cardiologist

Approximately one year ago I experienced a sudden increase/spike in my heart rate when exercising on the rowing machine. My usual heart rate for a steady state training session was between 130 and 145 BPM. This time it suddenly spiked up to about 180 to 190+ bpm, and it would not come down quickly enough. I am quite fit for my age and never had such issues before. As this had never happened before, I did get in touch with my GP and eventually I had a 24hr Holter monitor fitted. The results did not reveal anything that was out of ordinary. But, a month later, I was at an indoor rowing competition, when my heart rate suddenly jumped to 226 bpm and I also experienced headaches. I then decided to use my wife's BUPA family health insurance and I had my 1st appointment with Dr Qasim in July 2025, at Cromwell Hospital. What struck me was his friendly and professional manner. He asked numerous questions about my lifestyle, my past or existing health issues, if any, and the sport I am involved in, rowing. He listened very carefully, patiently and sympathetically to all my concerns I had regarding my symptoms. He was also very reassuring, and I left the appointment feeling a lot more optimistic. Dr Qasim booked several thorough tests and, following the test results, I am now on medication that controls the atrial fibrillation symptoms. I have regained confidence in training harder, and I am now able to race without worrying. I also have regained the confidence that I am not going to have a sudden heart attack or a stroke! As it happens, very soon, I have an appointment with Dr Qasim, to review the last few months since I last saw him and the efficiency of the medication prescribed and obtain a final diagnosis. I am confident that I will able able to control the Afib symptoms and any possible complications, with Dr Qasim’s help and expertise.

Mr Daniel Apostol

Physiotherapist

I have been seeing Daniel for post-operative shoulder rehabilitation following complex surgery. From the outset, his approach has been exceptional. At every session, Daniel takes the time to understand how the previous week has gone, including pain levels, sleep quality, flare-ups, and how the shoulder is coping with day-to-day use. He adjusts treatment carefully based on how I am actually responding, which has been crucial in ensuring progress while minimising the risk of setbacks. Daniel understands that I need to know why I am doing something, not just what to do. His explanations are clear, thoughtful, and grounded in sound clinical reasoning. This has given me confidence in the rehabilitation process and reassurance at every stage of recovery. He is also highly skilled at pacing rehabilitation appropriately. When necessary, he has deliberately held me back in a careful and protective way to prevent over-loading the repair. That restraint has been just as important as the progression itself, and as a result my recovery has been steady, controlled, and ahead of expectations rather than rushed. What I value most is the level of trust. I feel completely able to be honest with him about weeks that have not gone perfectly, including when I have done more than I should have. His response is always calm, supportive, and constructive rather than critical, which has made a significant difference both physically and psychologically. I trust Daniel implicitly with my recovery and would highly recommend him.

Mentis Clinic

Psychiatry, Psychology

I had a consultant review with Dr Shaikh for the re-initiation and titration of medication for a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis. I chose Mentis Clinic as it was the most affordable option I found during my research, particularly considering that their service includes consultant review, medication titration appointments, prescriptions, and a shared care agreement. My previous notes were reviewed promptly, and I was offered an initial consultant appointment within a week, followed by a titration appointment the following week. Dr Shaikh was very attentive and took the time to understand my circumstances and reasons for seeking re-initiation and titration of medication. There was no waiting list, which meant I was seen extremely quickly. The pharmacy also handled my prescription efficiently, with medication delivered in a timely manner. After the initial consultant review, I received my clinic letter very quickly and was given the opportunity to request amendments, which were dealt with promptly. I was provided with comprehensive information about medication options and was also given a letter of support for education and employment without even having to request one, which was something I genuinely needed. I am extremely satisfied with the service I have received from Mentis Clinic and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking assessment or ongoing care for ADHD.

Chase Lodge Hospital

Cardiology, Dentistry, + 7 more

I went to the Urgent Care Centre at Chase Lodge Hospital, Mill Hill London on Saturday Nov. 29th 2025. I was seen immediately by an outstanding Urgent Care MD, Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh. He listened, he checked me thoroughly, ordered the required tests, sent me for Chest-Xray (done on site), while spending the time explaining it all. At the end, he diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia and bilateral conjunctivitis, prescribed the appropriate treatment which was started on-site (pharmacy on site). The following day, a Sunday, he arranged for me a Chest-CT and an appointment with respiratory physician specialist for the following Monday. The whole team, each and everyone, the receptionists, the nurse, the Xray person and the pharmacist were all helpful, efficient and professional. They all played a role in my speedy recovery. I returned to the Centre on Saturday Jan. 17th and was seen again by Dr. Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh on a related issue and again encountered, professionalism, efficiency all with a smile.

Mr David Griffiths

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

My recent visit was to receive the results of a pelvic ultrasound, discuss the outcome and discuss further options. Nothing untoward in respect of the pelvic scan. Benefiting from the topicalvaginal oestrogen presribed, but switching to Estriol cream. Discussed the ongoing problems I have with unauthorised surgery done during a bowl prolapse operation in 2013 using mesh. There are to many difficulties and dangers involved in removing the mesh. Am grateful to Mr Griffiths for the detailed information he has given me about this surgery and the reasons it would be very difficult and not wise to try and remove the mesh. He is the first Consultant who has done this and I have been trying to find out this information for 10 years. I now know what the real situation is and what my true options and possibilities are in dealing with my continuing problems. A successful outcome for me.

CAS Medical

General Practice (GP), Primary Care

I had an outstanding experience with Dr Socklingham. From the very beginning, he was warm, caring, and genuinely attentive, taking the time to listen carefully without ever making me feel rushed. His communication was clear and reassuring, and I felt fully involved in every step of the decision-making process. What truly stood out was the rapid feedback and proactive approach to treatment planning — I received timely follow-up, clear explanations, and a well-thought-out plan that gave me real confidence. The consultation was delivered with professionalism, empathy, and efficiency, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone seeking high-quality, patient-centred care

Kingsbridge Diagnostic and Treatment Centre

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 4 more

Reception staff were very helpful both on arrival and when leaving the centre. The medical staff were very knowledgeable & took time to explain everything that would be part of the procedures. The doctor and his team of nurses worked very well together, a well run team. I liked the idea that a nurse remained beside me throughout all the procedures, explaining things as they happened. The recovery room nurse was very attentive and very helpful in her explanation of the printouts following the procedures. The discharge staff in the discharge waiting room provided a very welcome cup of tea and a slice of toast. I had been fasting for over 24 hours by that stage.

Cromwell Hospital

Paediatrics, Cardiology, + 17 more

My most recent visit was for an MRI scan which occurred in in the mobile unit. My oncologist requested a full spinal scan as well as a head and neck scan. The radiographer told me that this wasn’t possible then proceeded to ask me to choose one or the other. I wasn’t qualified to make this decision as both were equally important. There was insufficient information given as to the reason for not being able to have the scans I was booked in for, which really wasn’t good enough. Having waited quite a few weeks for this appointment I am annoyed that I will have to return next week to have the spinal scan. I expect better.

Mr Sanjaya Kalkur

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have consulted with Mr Kalkur at Spire Wellesley private hospital in Southend and have had treatment (minor op) from him at Springfield private hospital in Chelmsford. I would highly recommend Mr Kalkur as someone who understands all issues relating to perimenopause and menopause. He listens, he asks relevant questions, he is patient and kind. He has empathy and a clear passion for helping women achieve better health. He liaises with your NHS surgery and your health insurer for a smooth overall service. Now that I have found him, I won't be using anyone else! Thank you Mr Kalkur!

Dr. Cristina Mihut

Cosmetic Doctor

I had a great experience at this clinic for my Botox treatment. The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment I arrived. They took the time to explain every step of the procedure clearly and answered all my questions, which really helped me feel confident and relaxed. The clinic has a very clean and welcoming atmosphere, and the results look natural and exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for highquality aesthetic treatments.Thank you, Cristina!You are the best!

Mr Cristian Nita

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Nita explained everything and options I had. I had tests and trials with walking aids to determine best option for me explaining both pros and cons I opted for long leg osteotomy which gave me option to have knee replacement later in life. I am 12 weeks post operation and i’m walking unaided and I am using no pain killers. I do realise I do have lot of recovery to get 100%. I cannot thank Mr Nita enough, his professional and skills have changed my mobility, without the pain that I used to endure

Nightingale Hospital

Nursing, Nutrition, + 2 more

The therapists and dietitians are very passionate about helping patients and clearly have a genuine desire to help people. The group therapy sessions and the structure of the day was very helpful in helping my recovery. When I first came I was a bit confused about a lot of things and maybe communication in terms of meals and rules etc could be better explained in a more compassionate manner. The other patients and staff are the most wonderful lovely people and I am so grateful to have met them.

Cathedral Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology, Optometry

Kiera was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and made me feel very much at ease throughout my appointment. I was diagnosed with a Retina tear in my ear and she made me feel very much at ease and safe. She talked throughout, keeping me informed of everything that was happening, giving reassurance that everything will be ok and that should I need further information or just needed to chat at about it, I was to ring her and speak to her about it. Help and advice that was offered was exceptional!

Spire Montefiore Hospital

Dermatology, Breast Surgery, + 17 more

All staff, including the receptionist, were very nice and helpful. The hospital waiting areas and the consulting room were very clean and well maintained. There were unlimited free hot drinks and water available for waiting patients. Whilst the hospital does not have a car park, there was plenty of on-street parking available (charges varying up to £6.50 for 4 hours - enforced until 8pm), even on a busy Friday traffic wise after 4pm, when I arrived.

Ms Mahwash Masood Babar

General Surgeon

Thank you very much to you and the team for taking care of me. I had a brilliant experience at the Cromwell Breast Clinic with Ms Babar. The team who conducted the mammogram and ultrasound were handled with great care. I can sum up my whole experience with Ms Babar and the team as comfortable, reassuring and professional. I felt well-informed throughout, with clear advice and guidance provided. Thanks again.

Dr. Nasim Rouhani

Dermatologist

Dr Rouhani is knowledgeable, efficient and has an air of quiet confidence. She made the experience easy and was also very open to seeing if I had any other dermatological issues unrelated to the one I presented with, as she was happy to look at those too. She explains things in a clear manner. Overall a 5* experience. I would not look elsewhere for another Dermatologist!
