Freedom Vision - Gloucester

Ophthalmology

I have had Cataract operations to both eyes January-March 2025. Things didn't start well when the Surgeon, in a 'telephone consultation' with me, committed to a price for the new lenses I would get. This was later overruled by the Management who told me the Surgeon didn't have the authority to agree a price with me. So I had to pay quite a bit more than I was originally told. As in some £400 per eye more. Amusing to observe how the 'care' (on the NHS, but sub-contracted to this private business) was promoted as being 'Exactly the same as Private Medical Care'. Oh no it wasn't ...it was much better. Once I was flagged up as 'potentially suitable for a PRIVATE operation' using Implants that were 'Not available on the NHS' I was treated very different. Previously done examinations were repeated 'to be sure'. Does that mean they are not sure if you are a NHS Patient? ;). Additional examinations 'not available on the NHS' were done. Am I being unfair? A short review would just say this: *Generally excellent professional friendly staff. * Medical care excellent. But.... Appointment waiting times need reviewing - I have always had to wait at least 45 min, sometimes more than on hour, before being seen. Why? If you depend on a relative or friend to drop you off and pick you up it sometimes got a bit difficult: Is this appointment going to take 30 Min, or 4 hours? Nobody knows. Admin/organization sometimes a bit confused - Why did I get an email survey for my right eye, and not for my left? Waiting in the corridor between different checks in different rooms a bit of a hit and miss - staff running around, folders being handed over, people sitting and waiting being missed, the order in which things were done got a bit confused sometimes, patients reminding passing nurses that others who arrived after them were seen before them. But all with good humor! But, in the end, I can see excellent again with both eyes - and that is what is really important.

London Trusted Therapy Harley Street

Clinical Psychology, Hypnotherapy, + 1 more

Finally, answers at 50 After five decades of feeling "different" but never quite understanding why, the ADOS-2 assessment at London Trusted Therapy has been life-changing. The professionalism began from my first enquiry - Sofi and Andrew were incredibly accommodating with scheduling and answered all my questions without making me feel I was being difficult. The location at Pinero House is perfect for anyone who values discretion. The reception is small and well-managed, and you're not sat in a crowded waiting room, which I appreciated enormously. The consulting room itself was unexpectedly comfortable - large, well-appointed, and crucially, not intimidating or overly clinical. What impressed me most was the rigour of the assessment. Trish, who conducted the ADOS-2, clearly knew her field inside out and created an environment where I could be myself. The clinical psychologist's evaluation was extraordinarily thorough - they didn't rush, they listened, and the subsequent report gave me clarity I've sought my entire adult life. Having a multidisciplinary team means you're not relying on one person's opinion, which gave me confidence in the diagnosis. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mr Con Kelleher

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr. Kelleher was my chosen consultant for both of my pregnancies, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. During my first pregnancy, my waters broke unexpectedly at 36 weeks. Despite it being 4:00 AM, Mr. Kelleher took my call immediately and met me at the hospital just two hours later. His decisive recommendation to deliver early to avoid infection ensured that both my baby and I remained healthy and safe. ​When my second pregnancy became significantly more complex with a high risk of premature delivery, I knew I was in the best possible hands. Mr. Kelleher monitored me meticulously, coordinating additional specialist care with the premature delivery team at St Thomas'. Despite two hospitalizations, his expert guidance helped me reach full term. He delivered our healthy second baby with the same skill and care he showed the first time. Beyond his own practice, his referrals to other specialists—including an endocrinologist and physiotherapist—were outstanding. We are incredibly grateful for everything he has done for our family.

Miss Jess McMicking

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I was recently under Jess’ care for my first pregnancy and birth of my son and we felt so safe and supported working with her. Jess has a personal approach with her patients and took the time to get to know myself and my husband, which made us feel very comfortable around her during appointments and the birth. Jess made herself available whenever I needed a question answered or an appointment, she was always contactable via whatsapp and answered any questions (big or small) that I had! There were parts of my birth that did not go to plan (which were outside of our control) and Jess took the time during and after the birth to discuss and debrief on the birth in detail, which were so helpful to me being able to process and understand. I was very grateful to be able to be under the care of Jess - I look forward to being under her care again for future pregnancies and highly recommend her.

Dr Ahmad Khwanda

Cardiologist

Since February 2025, I have been under the care of Dr Ahmad Khwanda at The Princess Royal University Hospital and would like to express my sincere gratitude for his exceptional professionalism. Dr Ahmad Khwanda is an extremely attentive, highly qualified, and clinically thoughtful physician, thorough in every aspect of his work. He not only accurately diagnosed anemia of chronic disease — a condition that had previously been overlooked and even denied — but also manages my primary cardiological condition with great competence, prescribing appropriate investigations and the correct treatment. His overall clinical approach fully aligns with the most up-to-date international guidelines. Thanks to the treatment he prescribed, I feel well and my health condition has significantly improved. I sincerely recommend Dr Ahmad Khwanda as a highly professional cardiologist.

Dr Joseph De Bono

Cardiologist

Before my 1st appointment with Dr. De Bono, I spent many months unable to get a diagnosis for my heart arythmia. I was very symptomatic and really anxious. Dr. De Bono finally diagnosed me and started me on a treatment plan. He took the time to explain everything to me and asnwered all my questions. He was very thorough and professional. I felt so much better after that appointment. As time went by, the treatment plan needed adapting and once again Dr. De Bono took the time to explain my options, one of which was an ablation. Again, I was very anxious but he took the time to explain all the pros and cons and risk factors. Fast forward, I had the ablation and the care I received was wonderful. I have recovered and now feel I have my life back.

We were lucky enough to get into the appointment before our allotted time. Mr Mohammad seemed like a very nice person, but I felt very rushed, I wasn’t shown the MRI scan, The situation was not explained to us in depth,just offered options of an injection or surgery involving “metal work” which scared me somewhat. So I chose the injection as seemed a less scary choice to start with. We were told this would be put forward, then we left , all taking about five minutes, not really very reassuring. Hopefully I may get another chance for someone to explain what the operation with the “ metal work” would involve. So I would feel more confident with what needs to be done

I had a video consultation with Dr Kallis. In the previous months I had a abdominal ultrasound scan and a CT abdomen and pelvis dual phase scan which appeared to show conflicting results. Dr Kallis explained the purpose and limitations of such scans as the reason for such conflicts, which I found understandable and reassuring. He also outlined the appropriate tests to take to clarify any remaining issues. Dr Kallis was patient and clear in responding to any questions I had. The organisation of the video consultation was very efficiently handled by his Medical Secretary. I would certainly recommend Dr Kallis

Prof. Ben Miranda

Plastic Surgeon

I couldn’t be happier. Everything was easy, fully explained, no hassle and I felt comfortable and confident with my decisions. Nothing I asked or requested was too much an all the staff involved were fantastic. Prof. Miranda was honest and explained everything in detail. Allowed me to chop and change my mind until I was completely happy. I would definitely recommend and would have any further cosmetic surgery with him again.

Deanbrook Practice

General Practice (GP)

I saw the GP within an hour of calling. GP was friendly, confident and extremely competent. I was able to discuss the medication options and I felt part of the process in a very positive way. I cannot recommend the Practice highly enough. Within 2 hours of seeing GP, collecting the prescription and taking it I felt relief and felt on the road to recovery. Thank you
