I booked and paid for a private online consultation with Dr Vinesan Naidoo regarding persistent hyperprolactinaemia confirmed on blood tests (monomeric prolactin approx. 590 mIU/L; total prolactin approx. 704 mIU/L) with ongoing symptoms including low libido, low energy, anxiety, poor sleep and mood issues. This appointment was extremely disappointing. From the start, I was interrupted repeatedly and not allowed to explain my symptoms properly. The doctor quickly dismissed the issue as “physiological” and “not a medical concern” despite clearly abnormal blood results and clear symptoms affecting my quality of life. What I found most frustrating is that he seemed to assume he knew better than I do about what I’m experiencing, essentially implying that raised prolactin at these levels cannot cause symptoms — even though it is well known that prolactin elevation can affect libido, mood, energy and sexual function in men. There was no structured assessment and no clear plan. The consultation did not cover: possible causes of raised prolactin repeat testing plan (fasting, stress-controlled, early morning) medication/supplement review endocrine referral pathway whether pituitary imaging should be considered if prolactin remains elevated As a patient paying privately, I expected a professional, thorough medical discussion. Instead, I felt dismissed and rushed, and left with no help, no reassurance, and no next steps. I cannot recommend this doctor based on my experience. I paid for a medical consultation, but what I received was an opinion with no investigation, no plan and no clinical value.

Mr Tev Aho

Urologist

It has now been about a year since I underwent my HoLEP procedure to treat an enlarged prostate, and I can honestly say it has been completely life-changing. Before the procedure, my condition had become debilitating. I was in constant pain, dreaded going to the toilet, and felt restricted from travelling, socialising, or taking part in everyday activities. It affected me both physically and mentally, and I was in a very low place. Everything changed when my consultant referred me to Dr Tev Aho, who introduced me to the HoLEP procedure. From our very first meeting, Dr Aho was incredibly reassuring and informative. He clearly explained the procedure, shared the facts and success rates, discussed possible side effects, and outlined the options available should further treatment ever be needed. His honesty and confidence immediately put me at ease and gave me real hope at a time when I desperately needed it. Despite how unwell I was at the time, I felt confident moving forward. Dr Aho told me he expected me to be up and walking on the same day as the procedure—and remarkably, that’s exactly what happened. My recovery exceeded all expectations. Today, I am pain-free, back to my normal self, and feeling mentally positive again. The benefits of the procedure have far outweighed the minimal side effects, and the improvement in my quality of life has been incredible. I am deeply grateful to both Chris Dawson and Dr Tev Aho for giving me my life back. If anyone finds themselves in the position I was in, I cannot recommend the HoLEP procedure—and Dr Tev Aho—highly enough.

I went to the Urgent Care Centre at Chase Lodge Hospital, Mill Hill London on Saturday Nov. 29th 2025. I was seen immediately by an outstanding Urgent Care MD, Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh. He listened, he checked me thoroughly, ordered the required tests, sent me for Chest-Xray (done on site), while spending the time explaining it all. At the end, he diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia and bilateral conjunctivitis, prescribed the appropriate treatment which was started on-site (pharmacy on site). The following day, a Sunday, he arranged for me a Chest-CT and an appointment with respiratory physician specialist for the following Monday. The whole team, each and everyone, the receptionists, the nurse, the Xray person and the pharmacist were all helpful, efficient and professional. They all played a role in my speedy recovery. I returned to the Centre on Saturday Jan. 17th and was seen again by Dr. Dr. Jalal Moradzadeh on a related issue and again encountered, professionalism, efficiency all with a smile.

Mr Andrea Bille

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I feel lucky to have been under Mr Bille's care in recent months. On the basis of my experience I consider him to be an extremely knowledgeable and skilled surgeon and a very clear communicator who shows a lot of care in the way that he interacts with patients. In our initial consultation Mr Bille put me at ease and listened carefully to my description of my symptoms and concerns. He provided a very helpful explanation of the procedures that would form part of my surgery and associated risks and benefits so that I left feeling well informed. The surgery itself went to plan and in the check-ins we had over the following few days while I was in hospital he was kind and reassuring. In our subsequent follow up meeting he took the time to talk me through the histology report, giving me plenty of time to ask questions. Without a doubt the surgery has supported a significant improvement in my symptoms, for which I am extremely grateful.

Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently saw Mr Abdul Gaffar Dudhniwala for treatment of a herniated disc, and I was extremely impressed with the level of care I received. His bedside manner was excellent — calm, reassuring, and genuinely patient-centered. Before my nerve root block procedure, he took the time to clearly explain what would happen, what I should expect, and how the procedure would help. This communication made a huge difference, and the procedure itself went very smoothly from start to finish. What stood out most was that he did not push me toward surgery, unlike previous experiences I’ve had elsewhere. Instead, he offered straightforward, sensible advice on how to best manage my condition and the steps I could take moving forward. Overall, Mr Dudhniwala provided outstanding care, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with spinal issues.

All of the staff at Nuthfield were so kind. Everyone was always smiling and being happy and kind to myself and my partner. From the receptionist who told us where to go and took us to our room. To the night nurse that checked us in to the room. I had multiple nurses come and check on me throughout the time I waited to have the cystoscopy. We were able to get food before and after. We arrived at 07:00 on the 27th, and I can't remember all the lovely people's names who helped us. My only slight criticism would be from arriving at the hospital at 07:00 the actual procedure didn't start till after 09:00 and this gave me lots of time to overthink the procedure. But I think that was a me problem and I also don't know how long these things take to check people in etc. So apologies if it is standard haha.

Mr Seb Sturridge

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had been advised against the op by friends and family due to questionable social media reels regarding the potential for things to go wrong and the low level of concern for the individual. I know today that if I had not done it my life would look very bleak in just a couple of years. I had prepared for a general anaesthetic but was happily surprised with the epidural and local injections. I clearly underestimated the intrusion and how much I needed to take regular medication afterwards. I also needed to top up with more medicine after 3 weeks. I’ve am also very grateful for the care and focus on making the scar so neat and the limited damage caused around the knee. I hardly brushed at all. A good physio and movement is key. 6 weeks after the op I can drive a manual and walk with no crutches.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

Communication from all staff was grand - support teams, and therapists/psychiatrists. Little long on the wait time beyond what expectations were set. Wouldn't say Skylight were at fault here, more suffering from the success of the Right to Choose program. Felt the ADOS portion was poor, the process felt infantilising and the member of staff ran the second half like a therapy session - I didn't need reassuring, I wanted to express XYZ thoughts and feelings that led me to explore a diagnosis. Combined ADHD/autism session was exactly what I felt was needed with regards to the above and the member of staff was sympathetic but handled me through the process while bringing out the thoughts and feelings I'd had up to this point.

London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Staff at both the receptions were welcoming , No waiting time . Saw the specialist regarding ongoing issues with my knees and toes, and the he was extremely helpful and informative. He took the time to clearly explain what was happening, walking me through the MRI images in a way that was easy to understand. All available options were discussed thoroughly, including injections and physiotherapy, and I felt fully informed throughout the appointment. . Overall, a very positive and supportive experience.

Different time slots and sessions or more flexibility. Clearer communication between services and funders. Digital timetable, links and resources could benefit from being clearer/more easy to find. Mixed bag of staff, although the weaker ones did go quite quickly it still felt as though I was a bit of a guinea pig and didn't get as much from those sessions. Core team very caring, compassionate and supportive. Environment is an downside, a shared office building is not the best setting.

Peninsula Heart Clinic

Cardiology

My appointment with Dr Guy Haywood was very good. - Dr Haywood had read the briefing information I supplied about my condition. - Dr Haywood interviewed me to establish how my atrial fibrillation was affecting me. - Dr Haywood examined me and my ECG and then explained very clearly the available treatments and their limitations. I am now happy that I have a better understanding of my condition and the options open to me if my condition starts to impact my activities.

Dr Thivi Maruthappu

Dermatologist

The doctor was very kind and gentle. However, I found the consultation to be largely limited to a question-and-answer format, with my questions receiving very brief responses. The mole check was carried out using a light, but the scalp (hair area) was not examined. I also asked her to look into other concerns; she responded kindly, but overall I did not find the consultation particularly thorough or reassuring, and it did not fully meet my expectations.

Mr Harry Akram

Audiologist

Mr Akram really knows both the technology and also the human factors and patiently and explicitly introduced me to my first hearing aids. These are working wonderfully from the very first wearing. I returned for a custom program for singing in choir. This too was very effective. I could not recommend Pindrop and Mr Akram more highly! It’s a bit traumatic to discover one needs hearing aids but the process is painless and the benefits are immediate.

Professor Yogesh Bajaj

ENT Surgeon

"I recently saw Professor Bajaj regarding severe Rhinitis. After referring me for a number of tests he provided a clear diagnosis and explained the surgical plan in a way that put me completely at ease. The surgery was a success, and I can finally breathe easier after many years of struggling. Throughout he showed care, kindness and professionalism for which I am grateful. I would highly recommend Professor Bajaj

Mr Rupert Wharton

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Unfortunately, they were running behind schedule. About 10 mins after my appointment time I was advised that I would not be seen for around 45 minutes. About 45 mimutes later I was advised that I was next in line. I was eventually seen about 80 minutes after my appointment time. Whilst delay was frustrating the communication was good and understand the delay created by unrealistic time per patient schedule.
