Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was referred to Newmedica Newcastle for eye cataract surgery by my optician. I had my first eye surgery done in September, and my second eye done in December. I received excellent service from all the Newmedica colleagues whenever I visited; for my pre-surgery consultation, the surgeries themselves, and the post-surgery visits. Those working on the reception were friendly and made me feel welcome. The waiting area was clean and tidy, with hot drinks available. The colleagues who did the testing, pre-surgery administration, and post-surgery follow up checks were all very knowledgeable. They took me through the surgery preparations, explaining the process as they went, putting me at ease and answering any questions. After surgery they made sure I was aware of what I needed to do over the following three weeks to ensure my eyes healed completely. The surgical team were very proficient, and I felt I was in safe hands. The procedure was explained at every step, putting me at ease. The consultant for my first procedure was Nicholas Wride. The procedure itself took just under 3 minutes, which I had not expected, as internet searches indicated it would take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. I was so impressed and, as I was told I could have the same consultant for the cataract removal procedure on my second eye, I didn’t hesitate to ask for Nicholas Wride again. My second procedure was equally as expertly performed, and this time took 3 minutes 20 seconds. There was no pain during the procedures and only very slight discomfort straight afterwards. Other than the pain relief eye drops that were put in for the surgical procedure, I didn’t need to take any painkillers at all. The hardest part for me was remembering to use the post-surgery eye drops the clinic provided, as my eyes felt that good. Three weeks after surgery, I attended the clinic for post-surgery follow up checks. I was signed off from the clinic after the follow up check on my second eye. My vision is now excellent, and I only need to use reading glasses for small print. Before the surgery I wore varifocal lens glasses at all times. I wasn’t expecting the improvements in my sight to be quite so good, so I’m pleased I took up the opportunity to have my cataracts removed and really pleased that it was Newmedica Newcastle who did the procedures and looked after me and my sight so well. Thank you Newmedica!

I was made to wait 6 months for my cataract operations because I had a cardioversion. This is a short sedation rather than a general anaesthetic. I have been given no clinical explanations for this. I am in perfect health despite my age. I understand that a normal waiting time at other hospitals is 6 weeks with good recovery after a major operation. I suspect there are no clinical reasons, just a bureaucratic hesitation to take the slightest risk. I wonder how many patients discover that “Well soon” should be retitled “Well sometime”. Your bureaucratic incompetence is illustrated by your list of specialists which does not include the name of my surgeon, your lead ophthalmologist Dr Marzena Raszewska. It is her recorded ability that persuaded me to wait the 6 months rather than seek an alternative.

Loughview Health

General Practice (GP)

After not getting an appointment with our GP I decided to book an appointment late on in the afternoon when I became concerned with my child. I was able to book online with ease and had the appointment for 35 minutes later. The staff were welcoming and it wasn’t long in the waiting room before we were seen. Fiona made my child and myself feel at ease and did a thorough check. She even offered a follow up MOT check the next day which left me very reassured. This is the third time I’ve used the clinic and would recommend to anyone needing piece of mind when they can’t access their own GP unfortunately..

Miss Melissa Davies

Urologist

"1 cannot recommend Dr. Melissa Davies highly enough. For several years, I struggled with persistent incontinence issues that significantly impacted my daily life and confidence. From my first consultation, Melissa was incredibly thorough, empathetic, and patient. She took the time to explain all my treatment options clearly and worked with me to find a long-term solution that actually worked. Her friendly approach made me feel relaxed and comfortable and my symptoms are now almost completely resolved. She has enabled me to live life to the full again with no embarrassments or accidents.

Ophthalmology

This was my 2 nd cataract op with Mr Kamran Khan at Newmedica Leeds. I was very happy with my treatment with everyone especially Wr Kamran Khan who I can’t recommend enough, he was friendly, assuring and also the lovely nurse who looked after me after my op. Sorry I can’t remember her name but she was so caring. Anyone going for a cararact op this place is brilliant and everyone I came in contact with both times I was there I feel I couldn’t have had better. Someone calls you the following day to check that you are okay so everything perfect. Thank you all.

My total knee replacement at The Park Hospital was an excellent experience. Mr Hosam E. Matar, anaesthetic specialist, theatre team provided outstanding surgical care with clear explanations and reassurance throughout. The nursing team were attentive and supportive, helping manage pain and early mobility. The hospital was clean, calm, and well‑organised, making the whole process smooth from admission to discharge. Overall, I felt well looked after and confident in my recovery, and I would highly recommend The Park Hospital for joint replacement surgery.

Had a finger and palm operation on the 27th November 2025, Mr Misty kept me informed every step of the way during the operation and was strict with my after care which has now led to my finger looking amazing and the finger is now straight better than I ever expected.

I have had lots of compliments on the neatness of the scar from medical professions. thank you Mr Misty you have done an amazing job on my finger I will forever be grateful.

Mr Jonathan McFarlane

Urologist

My follow-up consultation went perfectly. I described some of the symptoms I had experienced following my operation, and how pleased I was with progress so far. Mr McFarlane explained clearly what might happen during the next 6 months, and also that the tests on my tissue eliminated any doubts I might have had about cancer. He made it very clear that I could contact him (or my GP) if there were any changes to my progress. I left the Bath Clinic feeling very reassured that I had been in safe hands throughout.

Mr Jacob D’Souza

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

I was recently treated by Mr D’Souza for the removal of impacted wisdom teeth. Throughout my consultations and treatment, Mr D’Souza consistently provided clear options and explanations, ensuring I fully understood all information, and took the time to answer any questions I had. His kind and approachable manner put me at ease from the first consultation and reassured me that I was taking the best course of action. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for further treatment or recommend him to others.

Mr Shahbaz Malik

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was seen by Mr Malik for my knee arthritis. He planned surgery but for medical reasons it could not be carried out at the same hospital. Mr Malik transferred me to HCA Harborne Hospital and did the surgery there. He has been superb with his mannerism, care and explanation. I am around 5 months from surgery and can not thank him enough for all that he has done for me. I am walking pain free and getting my steps in and travelling without fear of knee giving way.

Dr Kathryn Taylor-Barnes

Cosmetic Doctor, General Practitioner

I’ve been a patient of Dr Kathryn for nearly 10 years and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. She always gives excellent, honest advice and the treatments are consistently great. Over the years she’s become more like a friend than just a doctor, never pushy, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. You always feel listened to and in safe hands. The clinic itself is also lovely, calm and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Dr. Christos Tziotzios

Dermatologist

Had my first appointment with Dr. Tziotzios who has abundantly researched my condition. Having seen several doctors / specialists the past year for my case, Dr. TZiotzios was the first to provide me with additional details about my condition in a professional, empathetic, and explanatory manner, also regarding the medication and way forward proposed.

Mr Rohit Jain

Orthopaedic Surgeon

At all times Mr Jain explained procedures and possible risks in a clear way. We discussed benefits of surgery and ways to ensure the outcome was positive. I can only say I could not be more delighted with my experience and the outcome. At seven weeks post surgery I feel much more positive about my future. Thankyou
