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 Richard Scawn

Ophthalmologist

I can’t recommend Mr. Richard Scawn highly enough. Before meeting him, I had seen three other surgeons and even booked the operation twice but ended up cancelling because I didn’t feel fully confident. From my very first appointment with Richard, everything felt different. He was calm, kind, and incredibly reassuring — never pushy, never rushed — and both my husband and I instantly felt we were in safe hands. I trusted him completely, and I’m so glad I did. I’m now three weeks post–lower lid blepharoplasty and absolutely over the moon with the results. My bruising was minimal and disappeared quickly, and the scar line is genuinely impeccable. I’m 39, so my skin is still fairly young, but even with a magnifying mirror I cannot see the incision. The work Richard has done is truly amazing. If you’re considering this surgery, I would wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Richard Scawn. I couldn’t be happier with my experience or the outcome.

I had a very positive experience at my recent doctor’s appointment. The staff were attentive, friendly, and truly made me feel cared for. I was especially impressed that the doctors themselves came to the waiting area to welcome their patients (shake their hands 🤝) and personally guide them to the examination rooms — a small gesture that makes a big difference. I also appreciated that I was offered help without having to ask repeatedly, which has unfortunately been my experience at my local GP in the past. Overall, the visit felt organized, professional, and genuinely patient-centered. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Spencer Private Hospital Canterbury

Pain Management, Cardiology, + 6 more

The receptionist and the nurse were lovely. However, the consultant made me feel like I wasn’t heard at all, I didn’t really get to talk about anything I wanted to talk about because every time I tried to I was cut off and told I would have to speak to someone else about that but I was confused as I was speaking about the issue I was there for. I also felt like I was penalised for my gp making a mistake and did feel very uncomfortable by the end of the consultation. Which made me quite sad as this is an issue I’ve been dealing with for a couple of years and I feel like I’m still getting no where with it.

Miss Theresa Richardson

Ophthalmologist

My recent experience was the same as the first warm greeting, taken to waiting room that was so welcoming, putting you at ease, had my orbs done, then a lovely lady took my menu for after my procedure, When it was my turn, I was taken to the theatre, again was greeted with a warm welcome, I was told step by step about the drops they put in your eye to numb it lovely people put you at ease Then into theatre for my procedure Greeted by miss Theresa Richardson who explained what I was to do felt completely comfortable could not have asked for more what a fantastic experience it was

Dr Ahmad Khwanda

Cardiologist

I was very stressed as I needed to complete my stress test for DVLA in time otherwise I would my driving license. I was waiting for an appointment in other hospital for over 6 weeks and got cancelled, hence my wife contacted Dr Khwanda’s secretary. We were very surprised to have received a call from him something you rarely see in the current NHS nowadays. He was very humble and down to earth. He listened and was very sympathetic. I was overbooked for an early morning slot and performed the test himself. I luckily got this completed. We are grateful for his help.

Professor George Du Toit

Consultant Allergist, Paediatrician

Prof. Du Toit and his team were absolutely fantastic with our 19-month-old, who is usually very anxious in medical settings. She was also feeling unwell during the visit, which made their care and patience even more impressive. Prof. Du Toit demonstrated exceptional knowledge and quickly identified the issue. Everything was explained thoroughly, and we were given clear options for the next steps, which made us feel involved and reassured. I would highly recommend Prof. Du Toit and his team at the Allergy Center for their expertise and compassionate approach.

To help other people having the operation, I would encourage them to have it and explain its hard work at first but gets easier the more work you put in yourself , meaning physio work , sticking to the plan and not doing too much or definitely to little and being patient, success will come it might take time . I'm totally pain free which probably took a good 4 months to get there , now after nearly 10 months I have no problems whatsoever!

Santis Health - Prostate Cancer Clinic

Urology

I had a remote telephone consultation with Professor Eden following being diagnosed with prostate cancer at my local hospital and their proposed treatment for it which I was not happy with. We discussed my case and I was reassured by what Professor Eden said and the treatment proposed to the extent that I have booked up with him for carry out a Robotic assisted radical prostatectomy.

Dr Fiona Wright

Dentist

Dr Fiona was amazing in dealing with my dental issue - in what was probably a very ordinary treatment case for her (wisdom tooth extraction with sedation), was a very anxious procedure for me. She dealt with me gently and sensitively; the procedure was explained very simply and both the treatment and care by her and her colleagues were outstanding. It was very much appreciated!

Miss Akolekar could not have made me feel any more reassured today. She has a superb manner and was so kind and a great listener too. Miss Akolekar could not have been more concerned or helpful today. After such a worrying week, I could not recommend her any more highly! Thank you x
