The Joint Injection Clinic

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

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

Cleveland Clinic Moorgate Outpatient Centre

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology, + 8 more

Asked to be 15 mins early for scan, but then not called until 30 mins or so after time of appointment without any prior indication of running late (perhaps because it was at 6pm ). Head scanner was still busy so junior radiologer kindly chatted to me for 15 mins after I'd changed to kill time. Having been told it would take 15 mins, scan took about 45 mins and team forgot to talk to me or put music on despite me saying I was a bit claustrophic (but can get by ok). Then at 8pm, no doubt in rush to scan next person, they didn't remove cannula so i wandered around to find another staff member to do that who happily obliged. Not a major problem but not up to Cleveland usual standards. Staff were all very friendly though, but perhaps clinic shouldn't book in patients at end of day if they can't really handle them properly.

Practice Plus Group Hospital, Shepton Mallet

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), General Surgery, + 5 more

I had an initial consultation for varicose vein treatment (following a flyer in the post) and following further investigations/diagnosis I went ahead and had an operation. The whole experience from beginning to end was first class. Everything was fully explained to me and all my questions were answered before deciding on the most appropriate treatment. The operation (under local anaesthetic) went well with a nurse talking to me all the time and explaining everything which was happening as as well as distracting me! My recovery went as planned - and as explained - and a follow up visit to see the consultant was very reassuring. All in all I was very pleased with everything and would not hesitate in recommending Shepton Mallet Hospital.

Mr Sabur Malek

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a knee replacement under the care of Mr Malek on 26 November This surgery has totally changed my life as before surgery I could not even wait bear on my knee & just over 7 weeks on I am walking without any walking aids at all & finally getting my life back. I cannot thank Mr Malek enough. I ended up paying private & although it cost me £15,000 it was worth every penny as I could not wait any longer for surgery under the nhs. If anyone is worried about having this procedure, please do not worry as the procedure is much easier to recover from than you may think & totally transforms all the pain & frustration of mobility issues that was certainly having a major impact on my life before surgery .

Ovara Health

Acupuncture, Breastfeeding and Lactation Counsellor, + 12 more

After seeing several gynecologists, Mr Raza was at last the most reassuring and straight forward in explaining why having a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy would be the best way forward for me. I am now 6 weeks post op and I am feeling great. I am continuing to be amazed by how small my scar is (2cm!). I would highly recommend Mr Raza to any women doubting whether to have the operation. Every person is different of course but he is so knowledgeable, kind and professional. His PA - Sukhy - has been extremely helpful, supportive and always at the end of the line if I had any question - even during the Christmas week. Thank you !

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

My operation was 3.5 months ago, my check up appointment was supposed to be 4-6 weeks after. This got postponed 4/5 times due to apparent emergency surgery that was known a week in advance each time. I rang and spoke to the surgeons secretary when it was postponed again and I couldnt make the new date due to work, it kept getting postponed and explained I was having problems ( wound opening multiple times and infection ) I was told to leave work, I explained i couldn't due to my job and working away on that date over two weeks, she said we'll if you don't want the new date then don't have it. She was very rude and tone was awful.

Matrix Eye Clinic

Ophthalmology

The treatment I received at the Matrix Eye Clinic was excellent from both Mr Guy Smith and his first class team. The results from the cataract operation in both eyes is sensational. My eyesight is significantly improved, the length, the accuracy and the intensity of the colour are all enhanced. I am absolutely delighted. Before I had the operation I was considering exchanging our television for a new model because I was having difficulty in reading small print and the scene was blurred. Now I can enjoy watching. Amazing! I have no hesitation in recommending Matrix Eye Clinic.

Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 16 more

This was my second cataract operation on my left eye having had a very successful cataract removal and lenses replacement on my right eye performed by Mr Sian a couple of months earlier at Musgrove Park. Mr Sian’s skills , patience and care are exemplary. The outcome hss exceeded all my expectations. For information I initially saw Mr Sian at the Nuffield and had my resulting procedures at Musgrove Park due to the complexity of both eyes. My comments apply mainly to Musgrove although are also applicable to treatment received by Mr Sian at the Nuffield Taunton.

London Finsbury Clinic

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

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 high quality aesthetic treatments. Thank you ,Cristina

Professor Vaibhav Modgil

Urologist

I have seen Professor Modgil on a number of occasions and he is just “the Best”. I’m no expert but clearly he is and his expertise combined with his personality and excellent bedside manner really does make appointments with him so good. Obviously, positive results always help but having been nearer the wrong side of results in the past he is always consistently Top Class. Thank you very much.

Dr. Arif Hussenbux

Gastroenterologist

I found a doctor Arif a pleasure to deal with, he is clearly an expert in his feeld and knows everything you would expect someone in his position to do so not only that he is very approachable communicative and has a good sense of humour and friendly which is important to me my dealings with him have been superb. I would definitely advise anyone to use him and I will do so myself if required.

Mr John Terrace

General Surgeon

I recently received an inguinal hernia repair led by Mr Terrace. His explanation of everything is always in a digestible manner and I’ve never felt rushed or dismissed, as is the case with a lot of doctors. He takes time to listen and is a very reassuring figure in the lead up to the surgery and in the weeks and months following.

Ms Jihène El Kafsi

General Surgeon

Ms El Kafsi highly professional in all respects. I’m feeling very confident post-surgery. She visited me twice shortly after surgery and called me twice over the next couple of days whilst in hospital. The second time was especially helpful as she’d researched my medical records which helped explain symptoms.

Dr Rajashanker was extremely professional throughout. She listened thoroughly to my explanations and I felt that she took everything into consideration. She was very reassuring when providing a diagnosis and made sure to explain everything fully. Couldn't have been better.

Mr Kanai Garala

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a total hip replacement with Mr Garala 6 weeks ago and am walking now without a stick. At 85 years old I have found the recovery very straightforward. Mr Garala clearly explained every step of the operation and recovery from the first appointment.

Mr Nimesh Patel

ENT Surgeon

Professor Patel was not only very professional and skilful but also reassuring. He always explained things clearly, was happy to answer questions and listened to comments I made. . His kindness and gentleness went a long way to enhancing my confidence.
