Miss Lauren Thomson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having finally decided I needed to do something about my bunion I was referred to Miss Lauren Thomson. She was clearly focused on finding the best solution to match the way I live my life, which includes walking and exercising regularly. She explained very clearly her recommended surgical approach which immediately made me feel I could trust her entirely to operate in my best interests. She spent time to explain exactly what the procedure would entail, how to prepare for it and what to expect regarding recovery. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions. The procedure went exactly according to plan and at every step I felt very confident that Miss Thomson was doing a great job with her combination of professionalism, knowledge & experience alongside her ability to communicate and connect with me as a human being. I wish now that I had had the bunion attended to earlier as I had put up with it until the point where my right foot was virtually unshoeable and my gait was causing pain in my right knee and hip. 8 weeks after the operation I am getting back to normal activities and wearing shoes without discomfort.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Newmedica Leeds. 5* Care from start to finish. My optician at Specsavers suggested it was time to consider cataract surgery and I was offered an NHS referral to my choice of providers. I chose Newmedica Leeds and just over 2-3 weeks later had an initial consultation at Newmedica. Unfortunately my high blood pressure caused some problems and delayed the first cataract operation to my left eye, after 4-5 weeks weeks I had surgery on my first eye and 5-6 weeks later my second eye was done. Without exception all of the staff I met at Newmedica were friendly, helpful, and very caring. The consultant who carried out the procedure on both eyes (Mr. Kamran Khan) took the time to explain the procedure and answer my questions. During the procedures he was reassuring and calmly explained what was happening. Both procedures were carried out successfully and my sight is so much better now. I would like to give a big thank you to Mr Kamran Khan and his team and my Optometrist Summer Elyoussfi and her team for all the care and attention I received. I have no hesitation in recommending Newmedica Leeds.

Vision Scotland Glasgow

Health and Social Care, Ophthalmology, + 1 more

My first appointment was arranged within a week. After my appointment I was offered surgery in exactly one more week. Everything was great, lovely facilities, lovely staff. Everyone was very friendly and constantly being offered coffee etc. On every occasion I was taken either on time or early. I was put at ease and everything was fully explained and what the best lenses for me would be, based on my history and interests. On the day of surgery, everything went fine and there was no pain whatsoever, merely a strange feeling as the surgeon did his stuff. Afterwards I was given advice re eye drops and aftercare and again all great. Everything was fine when I got home, merely discomfort and that soon passed. I had plenty of people checking and following up that all was well. Finally, I had a follow up visit after a few weeks and again everything was great and very professional and I was advised to see my optician and GP. Throughout my time, the service I received was first class.

Mr Seb Sturridge

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After many years of self-denial regarding my hip pain—and finding myself caught in the NHS merry-go-round—I turned to Mr Sturridge. His calm manner and pragmatic advice were exactly what I needed. The resulting total hip replacement surgery was performed without complication, and my recovery was swift, despite my own frustrations along the way. I am now three months post-surgery and have returned to all normal day-to-day activities, as well as many sporting pursuits, including walking, swimming, and cycling—completely pain-free and with ease. I would have no hesitation in seeking Mr Sturridge’s advice again in the future should it be required, and I would highly recommend him to anyone suffering from hip pain. While no surgery is ever welcomed or entirely risk-free, the skill, care, and attention provided by Mr Sturridge were, I am in no doubt, a major contributing factor to my successful recovery.

Miss Theodora Pissanou

General Surgeon

I recently had my gallbladder removed by Miss Pissanou after seeking her for a second opinion. From the very beginning, she was thorough, honest, and incredibly reassuring. She advised that while gallbladder removal was necessary, I should first prioritise a cyst on my kidney. She immediately referred me to an excellent surgeon who successfully removed the cyst, which unfortunately turned out to be cancerous. I am extremely grateful for her judgement and prompt action, which made all the difference. When it came to my gallbladder operation, Miss Pissanou was exceptionally informative, taking great care to explain all the risks and ensuring that both my wife and I fully understood the procedure. The surgery itself was very successful, and my recovery was remarkably quick. I cannot recommend Miss Pissanou highly enough for her professionalism, expertise, and outstanding patient care.

Mr Sinan Barazi

Neurosurgeon

When quarterly injections no longer worked for my condition, I was told surgery was my only option. A daunting prospect, particularly as I had never had major surgery before. I am so fortunate that I was referred to Mr Barazi. From the first meeting he asked detailed questions about my condition and listened to me. His calm, confident and personable manner instilled trust immediately. He took the time to explain the procedure, showing me examples and talking me through my MRI and CT scans, as well as preparing me for how I might feel post-surgery. My many questions were answered with infinite patience and continue to be as I recover. My life is returning to normal again, something I found hard to imagine a few weeks ago. Mr Barazi is an amazing surgeon, and a kind and caring human being. I cannot thank or recommend him highly enough.

Dr Scott Gall

Cardiologist

I just want to put on record what an absolute gentleman Dr Gall is. His natural ability to be so genuinely empathetic to me on my initial consultation, made me feel comfortable instantly that I had chosen the right consultant to help me with my problem and subsequent surgery . There was nothing that I didn’t understand along the way as he took as much time as was needed to put my mind at ease with everything that was ahead. On the day of the procedure Dr Gall had had an exceptionally busy day and I was the last on his list but he still spent a lot of time reflecting on the surgery even after a busy clinic. He explained the findings fully with no rush to get away despite it being 9pm by then. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Gall and have already recommend him to anyone who asked as he is clearly the leading consultant for a reason.

Mr Reza Mansouri

Orthopaedic Surgeon

The recent visit was excellent. Mr Mansouri thoroughly examined me and explained everything very clearly. I would also like to say that Mr Mansouri is one of the best orthopaedic surgeons I have come across. I cannot speak highly enough of him. From the very first appointment regarding my knee arthritis, to the monitoring of my condition, to the surgery itself and post op care, my journey was fantastic because of him. He has excellent bedside manner and genuinely cares for his patients. He always listened to my concerns and made himself very accessible (even at short notice) if I needed to see him for a review or to ask any questions. I am still recovering from surgery but I believe his care has and will truly change my life and give me my quality of life back.

Miss Dorota Hardy

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

This was a very positive visit. Dr Hardy is friendly and kind and really put me at ease. She listened to the symptoms I had been having and provided explanations for them in a jargon-free and understandable way. She then developed a management plan that she carefully explained. I was nervous about this appointment as it is not easy discussing very sensitive and personal symptoms. However Dr Hardy has a lovely bedside manner which made it really easy to be open about the symptoms I was having. I came away from the appointment feeling listened to, with my symptoms acknowledged and feeling positive about the therapies that she had suggested. I can highly recommend Dr Hardy.

Dr Oliver Guttmann

Cardiologist

Dr Oliver Guttmann showed great professionalism, and an impressive ability to analyse my rather complex medical details. I was most impressed by his meticulous diligence in taking the trouble to review my many files the day before actually seeing me. Not only that, but bringing to my appointment, a complete understanding of all the reports he had evaluated so well. It was quite a display of his medical prowess. That, combined with an accurate and incisive follow-up report which I received the following day, and his friendly manner, make him outstanding in his field.

Quality Dental : Shoreham

Dentistry

Really pleased with my move to Quality Dental Practice. After almost 20 years at my previous practice, I moved after clearly different ownership and different dental surgeons. I was after a practice that felt they had me in mind rather then constantly "up selling". I can not recommend Quality Dental in Shoreham enough. Great experience from begining to end.

Spire St Anthony's Hospital

Mr Antonios was the perfect surgeon to have to operate on . From first encounter throughout op and after op follow up he has explained in detail that I could understand what was to occur. After op follow up the use of photos and a drawing were excellent for me to see and understand what had happe. I would recommend Mr Antonio's to anyone for surgery.

Lanarkshire Private Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, General Practice (GP), + 6 more

I recently attended Accident and Emergency where I was advised to attend my GP to be referred for a ultrasound scan. Rather than wait, I booked online and attended the clinic the next day. Thanks to this I now have a diagnosis and can get treatment. What a fantastic service. Everyone was so welcoming and reassuring.

It was comforting to have a couple of chats with the staff on the helpline. I was pleased to be seen by the nurse to check my dressing. ( Though frustrating I had to ask to be seen because my own Dr surgery couldn't offer me an appointment till the end of the month) I would certainly recommend Practice Plus

Sussex Premier Health

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 18 more

Consultant was very thorough and knowledgeable and we came away with a forward plan to cure the problem. On many visits to our GP we never got the right advice or treatment, and each GP visit was 8 weeks apart which meant needless suffering. Thanks to premier health we are now making progress.
