Ophthalmology

It is extremely unpleasant being treated as a cash cow. I had diagnostics for cataracts at Bath St on 18 December 2025. It seemed organised and the consultant, Mr Rajesh Deshmukh (RD), answered my questions and so did his practice manager Paula Jessup (PJ). I subsequently asked for written information on the kind of lenses RD recommended and I had agreed to. They are EROV lenses. When I asked for it, PD's response was that RD had talked to me, I said I couldn't remmber everything and my eyes were dilated so I couldn't see information he showed me on his phone. The written information was not provided. in advance of the surgery. PJ directed me to RD's website. The information on the website writes briefly on product benefits, but doesn't explain how they work. I had bilateral cataract surgery on 2 February at New Cavendish. St. Thgere was no explanation, written or verbal, of the process, eg pre-med, med, timing of procedure, rest afterwards. (There is a very brief outline in PD's email of timing). People came and did things to me as the 'animal for slaughter'. Before the procedure, I was given a paper form to fill in for registration. I had already done this at Bath St. Surely the information is on the system. I needed to find my BUPA number and authorisation code again, GP Practice etc. I also had received a pre-procedure call when this information could have been checked etc. For several days, I couldn't read the written instructions provided after the procedure. A nurse did discuss them however I hope it is understandable that I didn't remember all of them. Additionally I couldn't read the numbers on the eye drops packing for several days. The second bullet point on the instructions says 'your vision will be blurry for the rest of the day and possibly the next week'> This is repeated as the 7th bullet point on the instructions on the second page. The instructions have not been prepared with this in mind. On the first page, the instructions also says if you feel any pain or discomfort in the eyes etc please call the clinical helpline number above. The number is not on the document. On the second page, last bullet it says, '....If you vision (there is a typo it should say your vision) becomes significantly more blurred etc, please contact your consultant. On the phone PD, said if you think you have an infection go straight to A&E. All of this is unclear. Overall the instructions are presented in an illogical and careless way. The day after my surgery PD phoned around 6.30 pm to ask about how I was. I would suggest this is too late in the day for a recovering patient, and the instructions say ' we would like you to go home and take it easy'. She also said she would send a prescription for further drops to my GP practice. On Thursday, I phoned to let her know that the GP Practice said they haven't received them. Her response was, if you have received them, they have. Fortunately I had taken a printout of the prescription to my GP surgery and they logged it into the system and have actioned. I do not think the response from PD was helpful and it could be called defensive. There appears to be no-one who takes responsibility for the patient and ensures that they are looked after.

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.

Prof. Ben Miranda

Plastic Surgeon

I met Professor Ben Miranda at the Spire Wellesley hospital in Essex. He was very approachable and I felt comfortable explaining my condition to him. He showed genuine interest and we discussed my options. I was booked in for surgery very quickly and the communication from his office was prompt and concise. On the day of surgery I felt completely at ease. We discussed the procedure again and I was excited to start! We chatted throughout the procedure, it all felt very calm. Before I left the hospital, I knew about the aftercare, what to expect in terms of recovery duration and my follow up appointments were all booked in. The whole experience was so much easier than I thought it would be, it's been a total pleasure being in Professor Miranda's care, I genuinely couldn't be happier with this whole process. Would highly recommend him for your surgery, he's not just a great surgeon, he's a very warm and considerate man.

Dr Hari has been an incredible to our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. From the very beginning, he has approached my mum’s care with compassion, calmness and genuine understanding. His manner is reassuring without ever being dismissive, and he takes the time to explain things clearly and thoughtfully. In such an overwhelming situation, that steady, considered approach has meant more than I can put into words. What really stands out is how balanced his advice is. He is open-minded, evidence-aware and always careful to ensure that any recommendations sit safely alongside conventional treatment. That level of diligence and professionalism gave us real confidence and peace of mind. During a time filled with uncertainty, Dr Hari has been a calm and trusted presence. We are truly grateful for his guidance and support Thank you dr Hari

It was OK. Sorry this system doesn't allow me to write why I went there and therefore wastes my time! I was there for a Pre op assessment. My Op is 9 Feb 2026 under Dr Panos Gikas. I asked him if I could attend this clinic as it is nearer where I live. The. appointment was alright. The only issue I had was that when it came to having a blood test, they insisted that I had to have 2 separate ones in each arm? I get blood tests regularly as I have a long term condition. The first one was relatively pain free which was performed by Isabella. The second was performed by Riggs(?) and was unneccessarily painful due to him holding down the needle when it was in my arm. I was not happy about that. I did not understand the reason for the second blood test, when one is usually fine and if more blood is required, then usually another vial is attached as necessary.

Norfolk Menopause

General Practice (GP), Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I can’t recommend Dr Emily Cary highly enough. She has been absolutely amazing in supporting me through the early stages of perimenopause. From our very first appointment, she made me feel listened to, understood, and reassured during what can be a confusing and overwhelming time. Her knowledge, calm approach, and clear explanations helped me make sense of my symptoms and feel confident about the next steps. She took the time to tailor my care to me as an individual, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Thanks to her support and guidance, I feel far more informed, supported, and positive about managing this transition. I’m incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any woman at the start of their menopause journey.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Psychiatry, Psychology

Trying to book the appointment for the video interview for the autism assessment was very frustrating as there were often no slots available and I had to keep trying numerous times before I got an appointment. One of the reasons I have used RTN for Right to Choose was because the details for RTN showed that it would take 10 weeks to receive a diagnosis. It took nearly a year to get the autism assessment and a year later I am still waiting to receive the ADHD report, although I have received a verbal diagnosis. It was good to be given a verbal diagnosis at the end of the ADHD video interview and to have a discussion about the next steps to find out if medicineI is an option. However it is going to take even longer to find out about medication.

I loved all the staff that took care of me. I was very well looked after. My only small complaint was the lady that brought the food around kept leaving my door open and blocked half the TV and at one point my partner was helping me on the toilet with the bathroom door open and she walked in to ask if we wanted a cup of tea then left my room door open so anyone in the hall way could see me on the toilet, he was holding me up so couldn't go and close the door right away which made me feel a little bit conscious. Other than that the care staff were amazing surgeon and anaesthetist were very friendly. I would definitely recommend this hospital.

Mr Chetan Bhan

General Surgeon

I could not be happier with the care provided by Mr Bhan. From the outset, he was warm, approachable, and genuinely attentive, taking the time to listen and understand my concerns. His depth of experience and the number of procedures he has performed were evident, and he was able to draw on this to explain everything clearly and put me completely at ease. He was always honest and candid about the potential risks, which I really appreciated. Although I am only eight weeks post-surgery, the results have already been life-changing. For the first time in years, I feel “normal” again, and I am extremely grateful for his skill and care.

Newmedica Norwich

Ophthalmology

I went as an NHS referral for cataracts and they explained about the various options for both NHS and private. As I work full time and do a lot of computer work I decided to pay to have Rayone Galaxy toric lenses. I am so pleased with the result. After wearing glasses since early teens I am now glasses free! Mr Injarie and all the staff at the clinic were friendly and professional and made you feel at ease. Mr Injarie took time to explain everything and obviously is a brilliant surgeon. I can't thank them enough. I was so nervous about having eye surgery but from start to finish I felt in very safe hands. I would highly recommend.

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.

Mr Dominic Davenport

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I met with Mr Davenport to discuss my options in respect of potential knee replacement surgery. He confirmed my expectation that surgery would be necessary. Mr Davenport performed my surgery successfully at the beginning of January 2025 and four weeks later I am well advanced in my physiotherapy programme, ahead of where I might expect to be. I have found Mr Davenport to be friendly, professional and an extremely knowledgeable and skilful surgeon. I am very happy to recommend his professional services.

Dr. Himadri Chakraborty

Paediatrician

Dr was very informative. Always has been since my son has been under his care. Has reassured me at times when I’ve felt unsure, trusted him & the plans he set out for my son worked! He is very attentive to my son, he has ASD and the Dr was very understanding & patient. My son condition has drastically improved since coming to see this Dr and will be sad to be discharged from him & the service at some point. Can’t thank him enough.

Mr Edward Massa

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was referred to Mr Massa by another consultant who felt that my surgery was too complex for him, due to a pre-existing medical condition. Mr Massa was completely confident that he could provide the surgery I needed, and explained the extra measures he would take in theatre. Thanks to his expertise I feel as though I have my been given my life back again. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mr Ali Raza

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Dr Raza explained pain I was experiencing in left hip was not from arthritis but from trochanteric bursitis and gave me an injection on the day. He advised he will write to my doctor and that I will need physio and maybe further injections (however he is hopeful this is not the case) Can I say a big thank you to Dr Raza he listened to myself and my husband and was very caring doctor

Miss Despina Mavridou

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a truly wonderful experience at my women’s health appointment. Every member of staff, including the doctor, was caring, supportive, and incredibly respectful. They were responsive to my needs, took the time to listen, and made me feel genuinely heard, seen, and believed. It was such a reassuring and positive experience, and I’m really grateful for the compassion they showed.
