Dr Christopher Horne

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

My GP referred me to an Endocrinologist for an opinion of my symptoms. We chose the Consultant doctor who had the soonest appointment available in our area. Dr Horne is a young Endocrinologist who was personable on meeting and communicated clearly the tests that I should undergo to determine a diagnosis. Most important, he picked up on a comment about my feeling breathless by recommending a test for cardiovascular disease, although this was not his specialty. The result of this test revealed that I needed an emergency heart operation to install a pacemaker. I was kept overnight and received the pacemaker surgery the next day. It was amazing that this was discovered just before it became a crisis. I am so grateful to Dr Horne and the Cardiac team at Salisbury District Hospital. When he had the test results for the original symptoms, Dr Horne also confirmed the endocrinology diagnosis. I recommend Dr Horne without reservation, as a thoroughly Professional and Caring Consultant, who through active listening heard and clear communication explained a path for my medical investigation. His thoroughness picked up on a symptom (breathlessness) that I had explained away as unfitness, or other things. Ready to credit the Cardiac Team for their not insignificant part in my emergency treatment, I would add collaboration with a good dollop of humility to Dr Horne’s attributes. Professional at all times, I felt that he was on my side all the way.

Byron Lodge Care Home

Health and Social Care

Staff are amazing and caring, the problem is not enough staff, only 2 at a time on dementia unit. When they are assisting someone in their room there are no staff to keep an eye on residents in rest of unit. These residents have little understanding of their behaviour or instructions, have poor mobilty and coordination. Myself, as a visitor has had to intervene on several occasions to prevent falls or fighting, and I witnessed other visitors doing the same. This is not my job. I can't fault what the staff do, they go above and beyond and do their best, the issue is understaffing. I'm not making these comments to cause trouble but because I have concerns about safeguarding and feel that all is needed is more appropriate staffing levels. There should also be a male carer on at all times for male residents, and always the same group of staff for familiarity.

Mr Jonathan Pollock

Plastic Surgeon

I met Mr Pollock three times during my treatments for a wide excision of the melanoma on my left arm. My first was an initial consultation and although I had done my homework regarding my diagnosis Mr Pollock was really clear about my treatment and what to expect which really reassured me, I'm in the right hands. Second meeting was for my surgery which all went to plan with no surprises and very well looked after at Spires Nottingham. My third meeting which was today was for me to receive the results of both biopsies and check my wounds. I'm thrilled to say I am all clear and my wounds are healing really well after four weeks. A true professional with a touch of empathy which makes a real difference. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Mr Pollock again if needed, or recommend to anyone. Thank you.

Mr Shivakumar Shankar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My knee replacement operation was explained and discussed as Mr Shankar wasnt sure if partial or full replacement was required but he'd get a better understanding once knee was open. We agreed if there was any doubt that full knee was my preference but Id use his experience and skill to decide on best outcome. The surgery was completed with minimum pain only needed pain relief for 3 days post operation, and outside of swelling there was no brusing which the physio said would be down to the skill of surgeon. The care at Spire Hartswood was fantastic pre & post operation. Im two weeks post op and apart from minor swelling, the bend and overall knee look and feel great.

Kingsbridge Diagnostic and Treatment Centre

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 4 more

Had Cataracts removed in July and then September the staff and Dr Jothi was excellent and couldn’t wish for any better care, follow up phone calls on the day after to check if all was ok such a great procedure on both occasions and no pain at all as everything was explained. The eye sight is now great with all the colours all being clear and now I just need reading glasses to see stuff up close ,have worn glasses for the past 60 years and find it funny not having to were glasses permanently. I would thourghly recommend KingsBridge and their staff as all was very kind and looked after your needs on every visit, One thing no pain .

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

No problems with the medical teatment. Not sure why I was sent an invoice for medications some days after the treatment. It would have been much easier to pay in the hospital on the day. The invoice doesn't say if you can pay by card by phone or on line. This is a basic service these days. The menu offered for kosher food was limited and most of the items marked as being available weren't. If you're going to offer this service then you need to make sure you have available what you are offering - this is the private wing and one is paying for additional levels of service - not provided here.

MansMatters

Urology

Mansmatters was excellent. I have had Peyronie"s Disease for three years and it has been devasting. I was not able to have sex and it strained my relationship. i tried everything and was told my only option was surgery. I saw Mr Almashan at Mansmatters who talked me through a breakthrough protocol that has been avaible for less than a year. I proceeded with treatrment and the results were outstanding. I have kept the before and after photos and still cant believe that making the right clinic choice has changed my life.

MUMS - Midlands Ultrasound and Medical Services

Sonography, Pain Management, + 31 more

Such a positive experience at MUMS, I attended for a fetal medicine USS after concerns were seen at a private scan elsewhere. All the staff were professional, knowledgable and attentive. The venue was convenient and easy to find with parking. The fetal medicine consultant was extremely thorough and knowledgable. The whole experience was just so positive. I feel so much more reassured and positive now about my pregnancy. Thank you so much! I wouldn’t hesitate to attend this clinic in the future for any service offered.

Mr Nashat Siddiqui

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I consulted Mr Siddiqui for a surgical repair to my torn rotator cuff, which had brought my recreational activities to a stand still. It was to be my first ever experience of needing surgery in 70 years. I can't speak highly enough of his professionalism, technical expertise, positive attitude and equally importantly patient empathy both at the initial consultation and on the day of my surgery. The surgery was successful, and I am now on the physio program, but Mr Siddiqui continues to follow progress. Thank you.

I had an excellent experience with London Blood Test. Booking was fast, the clinic was easy to find, and the staff were warm and professional. The phlebotomist was very gentle and explained every step, which made the whole process surprisingly comfortable. Results arrived quickly and were clearly laid out, with helpful notes that made them easy to understand. Overall, efficient, friendly, and reliable service. Highly recommend.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

It was a truly very professional and friendly experience, beginning with a very welcoming reception staff. David, the orthodontist, was very thorough whilst examining me and then he clearly explained the most likely cause for my dental problem and the appropriate treatment to rectify it. The procedure itself went very smoothly and was pain free.David’s dental nurse was also very helpful and reassuring during my treatment.

I have been working with Dr England for around a year now on various issues that have gone hand in hand with my menopause. Going into busy Christmas season last year, I literally did not want to leave my bed and I white knuckled through various business and social functions, this year I feel 80% better and am excited to have some fun! Thank you so much

Dr Tamer Mikhail

General (Internal) Medicine

I've known Dr Mikhail for a long time, he has always had a kind bedside manner, reassures and listens to any symptoms you may have and tries he's best to explain everything in a way I can understand. I can easily get an appointment and has always has very good response times via email. This makes me feel reassured and listened to.

Mr James Carmichael

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Amazing consultant. Found an emergency appointment to get my foot seen quickly. Initial advice pre imaging has really helped; imaging was carried out quickly and the outcome discussed swiftly after. I can now how confidence to follow the plan and ensure my foot fully heals. Any problems the door is open to get re checked.

Mr Anthony Murphy

Podiatrist

The whole experience was excellent. The clinic in Lytham is very convenient for me and I got an appointment within a week. Mr Murphy was very caring and took the time with me to explain the treatment and looked after me as we went along. Thank you to all the nurses and people on reception at the clinic and the hospital.
