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

I spent years dealing with anxiety and depression, convincing myself I didn't need therapy - partly due to the stigma around mental health, especially in my industry. By the time I reached out to Dr Olena, my anxiety was affecting my ability to do presentations and travel for work, things that were essential to my role in finance. Working with Dr Olena has been transformative. She used a combination of approaches tailored to what I needed - CBT and existential therapy initially helped me tackle my anxiety head-on. Within months, I was back to delivering presentations confidently and travelling for business again, things I'd been avoiding for far too long. For my depression, we've taken a different approach, incorporating DBT alongside existential therapy. Whilst this remains a work in progress, I'm in a significantly better place than when I started. Dr Olena helped me understand that therapy isn't about 'fixing' everything overnight - it's about having the right tools and support to navigate life's challenges. I only wish I'd overcome my reservations about therapy sooner. If you're in a demanding professional environment and struggling, I can't recommend Dr Olena highly enough. Her approach is practical, insightful, and genuinely effective."

I was going to e mail anyway to pass on my thanks so it’s nice to be able to leave a review. How lovely all the staff were that I met on NY eve. Dr Aziz was amazing! What a kind, considerate, empathetic and professional individual. I felt really unwell that day and concerned about some test results. She was so thorough, talked everything through with me in such a kind and understanding way. I left feeling so reassured. I want to thank the two lovely ladies on reception for helping with a couple of issues, a lovely lady who advised about which tests/appointments to approach first and another lovely lady who took my blood tests. I am sorry I did not get any names. But I want to say a huge thank you to all five individuals I met that day. You really helped me so very much. Five star rating all round from me! Happy New Year all.

Mr Farooq Khan

Urologist

I cannot recommend Mr Khan highly enough for the care he provided during my prostate investigations. He was calm, professional, and extremely thorough throughout. He explained everything clearly, took time to answer my questions, and ensured I felt informed and reassured at every stage. His approach was measured and sensible, focusing on the right course of action without unnecessary intervention. At what can be a worrying time, his manner made the process far easier to manage and I always felt I was in safe hands. An excellent consultant and a credit to his profession.

Mr Daniel Cohen

Urologist

Daniel is a happy, friendly and personable guy and puts you immediately at ease. He clearly set out the different options and their particular implications for the future which was very helpful in selecting the procedure best suited for me. His care and attention throughout, from prescribing medication a couple of years ago to the aftercare, post op currently, is impeccable. I'm in no doubt that I have received the very best care, surgery and treatment under his hand that is available worldwide. In fact I'd go as far to say that he is a legend! 😊👌

Mr James Smellie

General Surgeon

Mr James Smellie is my surgeon and I couldn't be happier. His relaxed manner puts one at ease immediately and the information he gives is concise and clearly explained. I couldn't be in better hands and I will be eternally grateful for all that he has done for me. My scar, after just over two weeks post surgery, is almost invisible and placed so carefully and thoughtfully along a muscle line, that in time it will disappear completely. If there had been more stars I could have filled in, I would have. THANK YOU!

Mr Seni Subair

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Seni recently delivered my baby via induction at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes. With his help and expertise, I achieved the vaginal birth I was hoping for. He provided clear and easy to understand risk-based advice both before and during delivery. Seni also has a lovely bedside manner and good sense of humour. I would recommend Seni to anyone, and if like me you have gestational diabetes and are concerned about what this means for delivery options etc - you will be in safe hands with Seni.

Dr. Alexandra Pittock

Psychiatrist

Dr Pittock is highly professional and consistently patient-centred. She supported the continuation of my ADHD treatment with care and clarity, and took time to listen attentively at every stage. She explained clearly why I experience certain symptoms and how my brain processes information differently, which significantly improved my understanding and engagement with treatment. I felt heard, respected, and well supported throughout my care.

Dentistry

I had a check up.....my teeth are not doing very well and I'm holding on to them and looking after them as best I can....my dentist compared my latest x-ray with one taken 2 years ago and explains what's going on and what I can do to keep them as long as I can ... it's good she takes the time to explain without making me feel awkward.... And I always say to never underestimate a kind word and a nice smile....:)

St Giles Physiotherapy

I was recommended St Giles physiotherapy to take our Son to as he was complaining of knee pain. Claudiu diagnosed what was wrong and gave our son various exercises to do to help with the pain. Our son also had laser treatment and massages which really helped. The exercise programme we continued with at home too using a friendly app to track progress. I highly recommend St Giles physiotherapy and Claudiu.

Unblocked Thinking

Coaching

I had a set of ADHD/Autism coaching sessions with Jo, and she was consistently supportive and understanding throughout. She helped me talk about how hard I find things without shame, which felt incredibly important. Together we made and implemented a plan that was realistic and achievable rather than overwhelming. I left feeling understood, supported, and much more positive about moving forward.

Dr Shazia Malik

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had a consultation with Dr S. Malik, she was very polite, friendly but professional, like someone I could rely on, she made me feel safe and comfortable during the examination and gave me an easy and understandable explanation of what I had. The environment was as well cleaned and lovely. If I ever need another gynae review, I would certainly look for her again.

Mr Delukshan Rajah

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I found the care provIded excellent. Dr Rajah was very approachable and provided a comprehensive examination and assessment. He provided lots of information about my condition and took time to answer all my questions. I realised when I left I had not asked about work. He kindlly took a call from me .I am very grateful for time & care provided

Mr Giles Stafford

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Stafford instills confidence as soon as you meet him. He explains everything one needs to know before surgery in detail and encourages questions which he answers in equal detail. My belief, having had ‘two’ hip replacements carried out by Mr Stafford is that he is an excellent surgeon and his team equally so in every department.

After filling out a medical form on previous medical history I was introduced to Mr Edwards, the consultant. He was very professional and explained in detail the procedure that would probably be the best for me. All the staff were very friendly and the premises very clean.
