Find your trusted Doctor

Dr. Lorraine Kemp

General Practitioner

As a business owner and mum of 2 it is vital that I keep operating as close to my A Game as I can. As a result I have been trying to find both the optimal HRT for me personally - and also the best provider/ clinic I can find. I started with the NHS and my local doctor which quickly didn’t feel bespoke or targeted enough for my hormonal needs or personalised in the approach. I then registered with an online menopause clinic and worked thru them for over a year. The HRT felt much better however it was a logistical challenge. HRT was sent thru the post and took 2 weeks to arrive. If you missed/ had to reschedule an online appointment/ blood test (which with a business and kids happens regularly) it had ramifications so I would find myself running out of HRT with a 2 week stretch ahead of me. This just didn’t work with my job where I am client facing and needing to know that I am feeling grounded, confident and not overwhelmed / severely anxious. Another problem I found was that the online clinic wasn’t conferring with my NHS doctor so my records were not up to date which felt concerning. I have private health and know how close the private doctors work with the NHS so this raised alarm bells to me. It was in one of these periods when I was about to go into a work trip with no HRT that in my desperation I saw an advert for Dr Kemp. I booked an appointment with her and the process felt so personalised and easy. The consultation was surprisingly in depth (much more so than the online clinic). I realised after the consultation the importance of working with a medical professional who can take a holistic view of your health as a female - not just focussing on your hormones. I realised during the call that I was behind on my mammogram - and also have since the call booked myself in for therapy in the advice of Dr Kemp. She asked for a blood test - and prescribed a new variation of HRT with clear instructions on how to use. The prescription was emailed direct to me within a few hours and I could use my local chemist to action it. This felt so liberating being able to pick up within hours as oppose to waiting for a few weeks. Dr Kemp sent me the notes from our conversation with her suggested next step actions - which prompted me to both book the mammogram and therapy. And has checked in a number of times since. She also sent a letter to my NHS doctor and logged both the recommendations and HRT prescription. As a result if I need some urgently and I can’t contact Dr Kemp I can now go direct to my NHS doctor and ask them to prescribe. I feel I have finally found the set up and professional I need to be able to navigate myself through the perimenopause and menopause whilst maintaining the responsibilities I have in my life. I’ve realised how anxious I have been previously not feeling like I have a medical professional and HRT available to me - and I feel so relieved that I’ve been able to find the set up with Dr Kemp. No matter what the menopause continues to bring up/ throw at me I know I can face it head on - with my optimum health and mind set - with the advice of Dr Kemp helping me maintain my emotional and physical strength.

Dr Ehtasham Ahmad

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I recently visited Dr Ahmad at Melton Hospital for a scheduled Fiabetic appointment after a referral from my local GP surgery. Dr Ahmad is a great asset to Melton's Diabetic popularion. He is polite, encouraging and extremely knowledgeable. Dr Ahmad and his team are professional, courteous and very well connected with colleagues in the Diabetes and Nephrology departments at Leicester General Hospital. With Dr Ahmad's supervision and dedication i am now living with my Diabetes within 'normal' parameters which is a huge bonus. I am very grateful for the first class care shown to me so far by Dr. Ahmad.

Dr. Tarun Nagpal

Dentist

Dr Nagpal truly goes above and beyond. He did a thorough check of my medical history and sourced the tablets I needed for my extraction due to my risk of bleeding from a genetic condition. My GP did not help me regarding getting these but Dr Nagpal ordered them in just for me. As a teacher it is difficult getting time off and it was a pleasure having everything tailored to me and made as convenient as possible. I appreciate how precious Dr Nagpal’s time is as a specialist but he was still so accommodating.

The hospital itself was great and senior nursing staff on the day were informative and professional. My anaesthetist was phenomenal as was my amazing surgeon. However I had a bad experience with one of the health care assistants who wouldn’t let me use the bathroom and led to a bit of a weird experience. Plus when I got my stitches out two weeks later the nurse couldn’t see the stitches and she gave the tweezer to my fiancé who actually ended up getting the final ones out.

Mr Parag Patel

ENT Surgeon

Mr Patel saw me for a recurrence of BPPV and was, as usual, excellent. He was thorough, friendly, reassuring and most importantly corrected my BPPV even demonstrating the manoeuvre to my husband to enable him to help me with it at home. I was particularly glad that he went into detail about what causes the BPPV, the prognosis and preventative measures I could take to make recurrence less likely. I came out 10 times happier than I went in !

Platinum Medical Centre

For a place that nobody hopes to ever need to go to, it is a very nice place. I’ve had a few visits. At the Breast Centre, everyone I have seen has been very nice & professional, especially Ms Lobo & Ms Patel. A very special thank you to Alina who has explained everything so clearly , who checks in regularly to see if I’m okay & at the end of the phone if I need her. Receptionists very friendly too!

Dr Edward Petzer

Cardiologist

I had experienced the onset of quite marked heart arrhythmia which was concerning in the light of some earlier issues and my family history. Dr Petzer was able to professionally interpret my test results and arrive at an assessment which was reassuring and to plan future monitoring. I was keen to consult with Dr Petzer based on my previous experiences with him which have always been very rewarding.

Dr Matthew Balerdi

Cardiologist

Matthew was amazing and I’d give him 5 stars and more! What a kind, caring consultant he is - carefully taking the time to properly listen to me when I was anxious. I completely trusted him with diagnosing my symptoms due to his extensive cardiac knowledge. I was left with a clear plan that I fully understood and reassurance about my condition. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much.

Ms Miriam Kate Green

Physiotherapist

I was recommended to go see Miriam after having my baby via c-section and I’m so glad I did. Miriam was so friendly, professional and listened attentively. Miriam explained things in so much detail and gave me very simple and tailored exercises to do afterwards. Having them emailed to you with short videos is a massive help. I would highly recommend, you won’t regret it.

Mr Aziz Gulamhusein

Urologist

I can’t compliment Mr Gulamhusein more highly. From the minute I met him he has provided the most excellent service and support. His professionalism, expertise and reassuring manner has been hugely appreciated from my initial appointment right through to post-operation care. A huge thank you to him for everything he has done for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I was extremely impressed and satisfied with the overall care and treatment I received at LBH. The surgeon was magnificent and so was the nursing staff. I was well cared for from the reception and portering service to the whole clinical team to catering. It was a wonderful experience and I would certainly recommend having treatment at London Bridge Hospital.

I got there at the appointment time I had been messaged and it was deemed too late as the clinic was not informed of my changed time from 09.40 to 11.45.. also the doctor I saw was not one that dealt with my condition although he did promise to refer me to another one who does deal with it.
