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 Riaz Agha

Plastic Surgeon

Some unfortunate circumstances meant I had to change surgeons a few weeks before my surgery was booked in. This was quite unsettling and it took me a few times of meeting Dr Agha to feel comfortable. What I realise now is that whilst I was initially put off by his questioning I now realise that this was part of his thorough approach to his work and part of ensuring that I was provided with all the information. Taking so much time to explain the procedure, this risks and uncertainties and asking questions was part of a transparent approach which allowed trust building. Dr Agha changed the plan I had with my original surgeon (fleur de lis) to an extended tummy tuck and I am so happy he did. I am thrilled with the results. My scar is very thin, well placed and I had a very smooth recovery process. I would recommend Dr Agha to anyone wanting a transparent, realistic and honest surgeon who wants the best results achievable for his patients.

Dr Tapesh Pakrashi

Cardiologist

After a two year gap in contact, I had hoped that I might have had a bit more time to talk about my concerns - particularly some of the stranger sensations that I get from time to time in my chest since my last conversation. However, I was pleased and relieved when he suggested that an echocardiogram be done to see if there had been any further deterioration in the valves, etc and that the appointment came about soon afterwards. However, I have not had an further information about the result and have no idea who would have been in receipt of the information or how to acquire it myself and can only hope that no news is good news. Having been accepted on to Dr Pakrashi's NHS list I fail to understand why he does not receive details of my annual pacemaker check in July. There seems to be very little if any communication between the different NHS groups: monitoring my health which is why I have rated the value of the call so low.

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.

I have had a niggley back for some time due to swimming and playing netball and not done anything about it. However I have got much stiffer and one side of my lower back became painful so reached out to Oseteopath West. Lisa diagnosed my sacroilliac joint was disfunctioning (lol) and did some.hands on treatment and dry needling. All I can say is wow as the pain has gone and more importantly I know what is going on and what I need to do to.prevent this on going. Thank you Lisa for your professional service. I will be back if I need to and will definitely recommend your services.

Dr Russell Burcombe

Oncologist

I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional care I received from Dr Burcombe. He took the time to explain every step of my treatment plan in clear, reassuring terms and always made sure my questions were answered thoroughly. What made the biggest difference was how supported I felt throughout the entire process. Dr Burcombe's calm confidence and kindness helped me stay grounded during some incredibly difficult moments. I would highly recommend Dr Burcombe to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.

Mr Tom Setchell

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

There won’t be enough space here for me to do justice to Mr Tom Setchell. It is rare to find a Dr who is a technical genius coupled with a perfect blend of warmth and professionalism in his bedside manner. I trust his judgement entirely and have complete confidence in him. He deservedly has the very best reputation as a leading UK Obs and Gynae surgeon and if you are lucky enough to find yourself in his care you, like me, will feel incredibly fortunate that you found yourself way to him.

Mr Ali Abdelwahab

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I can’t thank Mr Ali Abdelwahab enough for the amazing care he has given me. From the very first meeting he was kind, reassuring, and explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. The results of my surgery have been incredible and I’ve managed to achieve a return to strength training that I honestly didn’t think were possible. His skill, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients really shine through. Mr Abdelwahab is a credit to his profession.

I went to see Mr. Darr in August as I was really struggling and needed some expert guidance. From the moment I arrived, he was incredibly attentive, taking the time to listen carefully to all my concerns. His reassurance and thoughtful advice immediately put me at ease. I left feeling supported, informed, and confident about the next steps. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his patients and their wellbeing, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Nuffield Health Tees Hospital

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!

Mr Mustafa Yusuf

Ophthalmologist

I am extremely happy with the care Mr Yusuf provided for my baby who suddenly developed a swelling in her eyelid. He was very gentle in his approach, meaning my baby was very cooperative and comfortable during the examination. His explanation of the condition was clear, treatment plan was easy to follow and my baby's condition is now improving. He also provided me with useful links with all the information I needed. Would highly recommend.

The Coriel Clinic

After my original consultation with a orthopaedic surgeon at a physiotherapy clinic in Doncaster, he wanted to put me on his list. He said I could have a new knee and be fit for Christmas. I said. I want Mr Haslam to operate on my right knee..I trust him. I haven't had any issues with my left knee. He operated on my friends Son's torn ligamentes. He'll br back playing Rugby again soon. Mr Paul Haslam is a genius

Mr Amro Hassaan

ENT Surgeon

If only all consultants were like Mr Hussaan. He was upbeat, informative and knew my history without me having to repeat my issues from the beginning which usually is the case.. I am finally clear on what action will be taken moving forward with a better understanding of my condition. Such a shame so much time has been wasted to reach this point. A big thank you to Mr Hussaan, you made my day!

Miss Hui-Ling Kerr

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot thank Miss Kerr enough. She has quite literally changed my life. I went in not being about to sit, stand or walk. Less than 24 hours post surgery, I had no pan and could do all of the above. She explained everything so clearly to me and my family members and kept them updated during and after surgery. Post surgery advice and help has also been wonderful. Thank you Miss Kerr!
