Mr Anthony Antoniou

General Surgeon

My wife and I live in Nottinghamshire and I was referred urgently to Mr Antoniou at St Marks under the National Referral Scheme, as none of the Colorectal Consultants in the Midlands had experience of my problem or in treating it. We only waited a short time for the appointment and travelled down to London. Mr Antoniou called us into the consulting room personally and his warmth and demeanour immediately gave us total confidence in him and we knew I was in expert hands. He took time to explain the issue in detail and the proposed surgical procedure which we then discussed. Crucially, we were part of the discussion as opposed to be spoken at, which we were very grateful for. Two weeks later I was admitted to St Marks and went to Theatre where, again, Mr Antoniou was very pleasant and I felt at ease, despite the procedure I was about to undergo. When I awoke on the Ward post surgery, Mr Antoniou visited my wife and I and explained that all had gone well, again very reassuring. I have recently seen Mr Antoniou in Clinic for a 12 month check and, as ever, Mr Antoniou was friendly and welcoming and reassured us that all was well and that if I had future concerns, I should contact his secretary. I cannot commend or recommend Mr Antoniou highly enough for all aspects of the care and compassion he showed to my wife and I during a difficult time, especially being so far from home. We will be forever grateful.

Professor Sanjiv Jari

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This is my second knee replacement under Professor Jari at Spire Hospital and I am highly delighted with the result. I had my left knee replaced in 2021 and my right knee replaced in November 2025, both under Professor Jari using the Maco Robotic Surgery technique. I understand Professor Jari has performed many knee replacements using this Maco Robotic Surgery. I have had no issues with healing or infections following my surgery and the recovery is going very well. After just three weeks in recovery I am no longer using crutches for support and my Physio Therapist has signed me off as I have full mobility in my knee. Professor Jari does set a strict exercise programme which in my opinion is the key to full mobility and a quicker recovery time. I would strongly recommend anyone who is thinking of having a Knee replacement to consider the Maco Robotic Surgery under Professor Jari at the Spire Hospital. This surgery is more accurate, less painful and a quicker recovery time. I have friends who have had knee replacements done via a surgeon and they have taken much longer to recover and in some cases suffered issues following their surgery. I can only speak from my own experience but both my knee replacements are perfect. The icing on the cake for me is Professor Jari has managed to straighten both my legs so I am no longer bow legged, perfect! Stephen W

Mr Irshad Shaikh

General Surgeon

I recently had an operation performed by Professor Shaikh. In the lead up, I had several discussions with him about the way forward; he was highly professional and very helpful. He explained the options to me very carefully, he gave advice and allowed time for me to ask questions which he answered fully. However, I was over weight and he explained very carefully the risks posed in surgery by the extra weight I was carrying. We decided a way forward together; we set a date for the operation, allowing time for me to lose some weight. I was very grateful to him for providing me with a clear focus and for his encouragement. By the date of the operation, I had lost a substantial amount of weight and the operation was performed successfully. I have a great deal to thank Professor Shaikh for - in addition to his surgical expertise, I am grateful for his advice, encouragement and support. I have the utmost confidence in him and I have no hesitation in recommending him, unreservedly.

Dr Diab Haddad

Paediatrician

We visited Dr Haddad just before Xmas and again recently. Dr Haddad has been excellent! My daughter has been struggling with a severe reaction to something which is causing her stress and unfortunately the other channels we have taken to date have not been of any help. Dr Haddad has really turned things around for us by helping us to understand what might be going on and helping as best he can in getting to the bottom cause. He Explains everything so clearly, allowing us to ask as many questions as we need, putting my daughter at ease which has made her feel that she is being understood and heard. Above all giving us a clear path on our next steps and not giving up on us. I would highly recommend Dr Hiddad and so grateful that we found him.

Private room badly refurbished from a two bed ward. Very poor heating system so room was cold and because there were three windows to the corridor, it could not be darkened - blinds ineffective. Bathroom newly refurbished but I was surprised there was no Arab douche facility or bidet. It is not acceptable to have to pull individual sheets of very poor quality toilet paper from a wall machine. There were shampoo bottles and body lotion but no soap bottles or dispenser. I know the NHS cannot compete with SJand E or the Wellington but I was dismayed by the standard. Care was good but rushed because of Christmas staffing levels.

Mr Mark Farndon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have had several operations under the care of Mr Farndon over the years and I have recently undergone a full knee replacement under his care. Mr Farndon is very professional, caring and always has time to listen to your concerns. Mr Farndon came to see me after the operation explaining everything to me and also visited the next day. All the staff at the Duchy were efficient and caring. With the expertise and continual care by Mr Farndon and his team I am on the road to recovery and I would certainly recommended Mr Farndon as I have already done to family and friends.

Mr Tom Holland

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I couldn’t recommend Mr. Holland enough - he’s exceptional at what he does whilst also being an incredibly kind and caring individual. I came in to see him on 24th November with severe abdominal symptoms after receiving poor treatment from NHS A&E services. He straight away diagnosed me with ovarian torsion and performed emergency surgery that day to remove the cyst. The treatment and care I received was second to none and his calm and professional demeanour put me at ease despite a very scary situation. Thank you so much for everything you have done Mr Holland!

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Greeted by friendly staff and seen at my appointment time. Following a basic health check, the procedure was explained in detail and I was taken to a treatment room for the Gastroscopy to begin. Throat spray was applied, blood pressure and oxygen levels were monitored throughout the procedure, then the camera was inserted via the mouth into the oesopagus and stomach. The process was painless but a little discomfort was felt and took no longer that 10 minutes in total. I was then taken to a recovery room and discussed the treatment findings.

I am currently 6wks PO from having BA with Mr Apostolou. I cannot recommend him enough. Mr Apostolou was very professional and reassured any uncertainties I may have had. I am very happy with the results and I have not had any problems whatsoever. My very short stay at Nuffield Hospital was very pleasant and I was very well cared for, even after surgery with routine check ups. I will certainly be recommending Mr Apostolou to friends who I know are considering the same surgery.

Dr Kuldeep S Cheent

Gastroenterologist

Dr Cheent and his team were amazing . The care from the emails & phone calls to the treatment was over and above. Nothing was ever too much trouble and his secretary, like the rest of them worked incredible hours to ensure that she made contact with me around my working hours. Everything was clearly explained to me prior to any tests or treatment. The aftercare was just as incredible. Dr Cheent made me feel calm and at ease at all times. I am so grateful to them all.

Mr Philip M Stott

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Stott is extremely empathetic, easy to talk to and clearly expert in his field. He explained options very clearly and suggested conservative treatment initially to see if I could avoid a hip replacement which I liked as in my experience, surgeons can be all too keen to jump straight to surgery. I didn't feel rushed or pressurised to make a quick decision and feel I couldn't be in better hands when my is replaced.

I recommend a private appointment. Instead of a rushed NHS 10 minute experience, the doctor spends 30 minutes understanding symptoms and background. Dr Hamdulay was very thorough, professional and friendly. He gave me very helpful advice and the medication I needed to make a full recovery. Highly recommend OSD Healthcare.

The doctor was extremely kind, friendly and understanding. He made me feel very at ease and listened to everything I said. Most importantly, he did all the checks needed for my condition. Nothing was too much to ask for, and my examination was shared with my NHS surgery as requested. Thank you!

Very well organised, friendly staff and superb facilities. Staff explained everything and were friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly and was discharged with necessary medication and full explanation of use. Follow up phone call next day from surgery to check that all was well.

Total waste of my time as the MRI team ignored the consultants instructions and orders and was not ready to perform a IV contrast MRI on shoulder. I travelled from Ascot as well as returned a from my vacation early to make this appointment. Completely unexpected
