My consultant Hugh O’Kane was so lovely excellent communication skills empathy and he listened to me , which some consultants would need to have a refresher course on dealing with patients. The anaesthetist ( sorry i can’t remember his name an Indian gentleman again so lovely) and the nurses in theatre were all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the sedation was not great effect but got through. Recovery nurse Alex’s was very attentive & had a very caring way . Transferred to ward 3 Bernadette the nurse and Sinead & Sarah ( hopefully I have the correct names) all excellent A really lovely friendly member of the catering team Gillian came to see if I would like something to eat at that time I did not , but she Came k later to check & made the most delicious toasted sandwich. I had buzzed for the nurse as I was in a lot of pain behind my left knee she gave me liquid paracetamol, the pain got worse i asked for the compression stocking to be removed, the problem was that the stocking had not been pulled up straight and therefore it had “ marked my ankle very deeply “ with the result that the circulation would have been effected. My leg felt “Dead or asleep “ I felt afraid but the staff where lovely, Hugh came to see me around 8.30 pm had a conversation with my son in England and the plan was to stay (but before this they where happy to let me go home Kelly the manager came to speak to me as this was no fault of mine they I asked “in a scenario such as mine was there not a plan B in place “ to which she responded “0 yes and a plan b c & d “ ) So thankfully the outcome was resolved, I was to stay Hugh would see me in the morning. The night staff Keira & a girl called you I’m think the other health care assistant was Sharon hopefully this is correct but all excellent care. Hugh came in to see me just after 7am very attentive,examined my leg, I said that the pain was not as severe as the night before & I was happy to go home, “to which he replied if your happy so am I “ ( if only more consultants had his way ) he said I was not to worry re the financial situation re the over night stay Over all I am glad that we resolved the situation.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Audiology, Cardiology, + 12 more

It's not fair that being an NHS patient meant that we couldnt use the disabled parking, which was empty, right outside the hospital, meaning a much longer and uncomfortable walk. We we greeted well upon arrival and called through almost immediately. Although I found the nurse abrupt and abrasive to start with, I put this down to her working from the computer, checking through info. Perhaps that wasn't her strong point with technology. I have many complex needs, including some communication needs, being ADHD and Autistic. I clearly hadn't understood some of the portal questions and answered them differently to its intended expected responses. Perhaps some more understanding around neurodivergent conditions would be helpful and clarity around the context of their questioning, rather than to feel berated for replying "I fear spiders". The question asked for my fears or what I am scared of, if it was specifically regarding the procedure, it should have been clearer. I was clearly struggling with the bright lights in the office, holding my srm up to shield my eyes from the lighting, even commenting to my daughter who I took with me, my questionnaire replies would have told her I am photophobic, but because of how she initially presented to me, I felt unable to raise my concerns and ask for the lights to be adjusted. (This resulted in triggering a migraine after I left). Im still working on advocating for my own needs. Once the computer work was complete and she faced me to go through expectations of the operation day, she mellowed and warmed, her body language positively changed. This helped reduce my heightened anxiety. She was very good when it came to taking my bloods and I didnt even feel it, for the first time ever. I left feeling far less anxious than I did upon arrival.

The Joint Injection Clinic

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

I've seen the Joint Injection doctor twice, had two injections, and both were very helpful. The first visit was after I suffered some tissue injury to an arthritic knee and had some fluid removed and a cortisone injection, which gave me immediate relief and was the catalyst to me returning to exercise. I was having ongoing stiffness in the same joint and returned six months later. After consultation I chose to have a hyaluronic acid injection. This made a big difference to the pain, stiffness and function of my knee and has meant I am able now to properly rebuild strength on that side. Dr Thing is easy to talk to, and I felt he really supported what I am trying to do, which is to stay highly active and delay the point I will need surgery for as long as possible. He is very well informed and explained clearly the pros and cons of various approaches to managing arthritis of the knee. He is also skilled at what he does, the injections are ultrasound guided to ensure correct placement and both injections were painless.

I recently consulted Dr. Pavlidis and underwent an angiography procedure at London Bridge Hospital under his care. Dr. Pavlidis demonstrates exceptional clinical expertise and provides care with professionalism and efficiency, ensuring the best possible outcomes for his patients. He takes time to understand individual circumstances and develops treatment plans tailored to clinical needs. His nursing team is highly skilled and dedicated to patient well-being. I am deeply grateful to Farida, Slim, Anne, and Mahmood for their outstanding post-procedure advice and support. We also appreciated the thoughtful assistance from the catering team, which contributed to a comfortable recovery, and we are especially thankful for the special consideration that allowed my wife to stay with me, making a significant difference to my experience.

London Gynaecology - Harley Street

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I recently visited the London Gynaecology Centre for an appointment with Ms. Mishra, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. Ms. Mishra was incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly and answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed. What stood out most was her kindness—she approached every part of the consultation with genuine compassion and professionalism. It’s rare to find a clinician who is both highly knowledgeable and truly empathetic, but Ms. Mishra embodies both. I left feeling reassured as I could be-in my situation, informed, and very well looked after. I would highly recommend Ms. Mishra and the London Gynaecology Centre to anyone seeking exceptional care.

Mr Saket Tibrewal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We can't thank Mr Tibrewal enough. He acted swiftly to arrange urgent surgery for our sports mad injured son, ensuring he had the very best of care to enable him to continue to lead an active life and participate at a high level of sport in the future. We are now 5 months post op and our son is working hard on his physio to regain the strength he needs. Its reassuring to know the op was a success and feel like we have been in very safe hands throughout the trauma. We feel very lucky to have been introduced to Mr Tibrewal and can highly recommend him.

Simply Meds Online Pharmacy

Pharmacy

They listed a promotional 10% discount on their website using a coupon code if your total purchase is more than £30. However, at check out when you try and apply the code, you get a strange error message asking you to have at least £30 worth of items in your basket even though the basket total far exceeds the £30 threshold. When I e-mailed them to alert them to this error, the "customer service" agent provided a cold dismissive response, without so much as an apology. Rude staff. Suffice it to say, I did not receive the discount.

The London Dermatology Centre

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Dermatology

My wife and I have visited the clinic a few times during the last five years and are both very impressed. Dr Chopra is friendly, caring and very competent. He operates efficiently and is always on time. My skin lesions were examined and treated on the spot during the same session today. I received information about the nature and cause of my problem and was given instruction about how to look after the problem area until it is fully healed. I was charged as quoted when I booked the appointment.. Highly recommended service.

Newmedica Leeds

Ophthalmology

Staff all good, but I had been given inaccurate info before the appt and didn’t wear contact lenses for 2 weeks beforehand altho this was unnecessary as all measurements had already been taken. I then had to wait over an hour to be seen, longer than for the NHS appt. When I mentioned the long wait I was told this was because everyone had wanted a long discussion as they were private appts! Surely this is to be expected and the solution is not to overbook appts. I can’t comment yet on the procedure as haven’t had it yet.

Professor John Axford

Rheumatologist

I could wax lyrical about Professor John Axford. Before my recent visit, my GP’s had misdiagnosed/mishandled my condition. I was in pain. Not only does Professor Axford have a wonderfully kind way about him but his experience and knowledge meant that, after a brief examination and talking to me, he knew exactly what I was suffering from and how to treat it. He put my mind at ease, explained everything clearly and kindly, and I am already on the path to pain free fitness. I could not recommend him more highly.

Ms Sophie Corbett

Dietitians

Sophie is so kind, understanding, supportive, friendly, encouraging, caring, knowledgeable and has a lovely personality that helps you feel at ease She doesn't just listen she makes you feel seen and heard. I was able to talk and explain my struggles without a fear of being judged. She provides lots of great helpful tips/advice, works with you and creates a plan that feels doable an not overwhelming. I'm so glad I booked a appointment with her i finally feel heard and positive about finding my sparkle

Dr John Lindsay

Very informative, friendly , courteous and professional consultation and service provided by Dr.Lindsay.

Would highly recommend. Excellent Doctor.

Dr. Barbara Carey

Dr. Barbara Carey is an exceptional clinician. She was warm, caring, and took the time to explain my condition clearly and patiently. Most importantly, she provided the correct diagnosis after years of seeing more than ten GPs and specialists with no answers. Her expertise and compassion have made an enormous difference in my life. I’m incredibly grateful and highly recommend her.

Professor Olaf Wendler

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Professor Wendler put me at my ease from our first meeting. He explained everything to me in terms I could understand. He gave me confidence to face a big surgery and was always approachable and made himself available to answer any questions as they arise I know that my husband also felt that I was in very good and safe hands.

Mr Janos Balega

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Balega was very professional, he took lots of time to explain my treatment in details. He is a very good listener too. He took time to answer all my questions. He saw me before and after surgery. All the team on the day of my surgery was professional, always explaining what they were going to do and giving me explanations .
