Vision Scotland Edinburgh

Ophthalmology, Optometry

I have been very happy with my overall experience at Vision Scotland Edinburgh. The staff were both friendly and professional. I was well informed regarding my choices and the procedure. I have been thrilled with the result of the cataract surgery. I was given an appointment very soon after the referral. I would however like to let you know how I felt the experience on the day of the operation could have been improved. Firstly I was not sent the Post Op information which would have been most helpful to read before the procedure. Secondly I got very cold in theatre and was given a blanket but it did take me ages to warm up. It would have been better to have been given a blanket before the procedure started. There is a lot of cold water being used which does add to the chill. Thirdly I was not told to bring sunglasses for the journey home or to bring analogies both of which I would very much appreciated as I lived over a hour away. On the journey home I became extremely uncomfortable. Finally the roof of my mouth and tongue got a little burnt I think by the coffee as they must have been a little bit anaesthetised still when I had the coffee. The coffee however i have to say was absolutely welcome and the best thing along with the toasted teacake. I found it very reassuring to have a telephone number to call which I did use. I also very much appreciate the phone call from the nurse a couple of days post op. I hope you find the above comments of use. I do not wish to criticise as overall it was an extremely good experience and I would and have already recommended Vision Scotland. ( I did tell my neighbour to ask for a blanket!)

Mr Kumaran Thiruppathy

General Surgeon

I saw Mr Kumaran Thiruppathy at Circle Reading Hospital in October 2025 for troublesome internal haemorrhoids. He quickly made an accurate diagnosis and clearly explained my condition and the treatment options, including rubber band ligation. I went ahead with banding of my internal haemorrhoids, which was done efficiently and with great care, and he talked me through each step so I knew exactly what was happening. Since then my symptoms have improved a lot, with much less discomfort and bleeding in everyday life. At my follow‑up appointment in January 2026, we mainly reviewed how things had improved after the procedure and discussed ongoing management and prevention. Mr Thiruppathy listened carefully, answered all my questions, and gave clear, practical advice. Overall, I’ve had an excellent experience under his care and feel much more comfortable and reassured now. I would highly recommend Mr Thiruppathy and the team at Circle Reading Hospital to anyone needing assessment and treatment for haemorrhoids.

Mr Rikki Mistry

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Mistry performed my mini abdominal rhinoplasty and I am absolutely over the moon with the results. From my very first consultation through to my post-op appointments, he went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood the procedure and felt completely comfortable at every stage. He took the time to carefully explain everything, answered all of my questions without ever rushing me, and made sure my expectations were realistic and well managed. I felt genuinely listened to and reassured throughout the entire process, which made a huge difference to my overall experience. The aftercare has been just as exceptional as the surgery itself. I always felt supported, well looked after, and confident that I was in very safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Mistry to anyone considering this procedure - not only for his excellent work, but for the outstanding care and attention he gives to his patients.

Osteopath West

Neurology, Osteopathy, + 2 more

I had an outstanding experience with this osteopath. From the very first appointment, their professionalism and kindness immediately put me at ease. They take the time to listen carefully, explain every step of the process, and make sure you feel fully supported throughout the treatment. Their depth of knowledge is truly impressive. You can tell they are highly skilled and passionate about their work, and they approach each session with precision and confidence. They quickly identified the root of my problem and tailored the treatment perfectly to my needs. The results have been remarkable. I noticed a significant improvement not only in my pain levels but also in my overall mobility and well‑being. It’s rare to find someone who combines such expertise with such exceptional care. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for effective, thoughtful, and truly transformative osteopathic treatment.

Mr James White

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. White for a clavicle fracture. I actually went into the office not expecting to need surgery at all. Rather than pushing me toward a specific path, he took the time to walk me through my imaging and explain the long-term pros and cons of both surgical and non-surgical options. Because of that level of clarity and care, I felt empowered to decide on surgery, and I’m glad that I did. The outcome has been great, and my recovery has been on track. I also want to mention the PA, who was incredibly responsive and helpful with every follow-up question I had. I felt genuinely well taken care of by the entire team. If you want a surgeon who prioritizes patient education and respects your decision-making process, this is the place to go.

Castle Craig Hospital

Psychiatry, Psychotherapy

I was really happy that I chose to go to Castle Craig. It was my first time in Scotland, coming from London I was a bit nervous about what would happen but the admissions team and Justine in particular were extremely reasurring. The cleaning staff are always around, making sure everything is spotless and the therapists were so impressive and dedicated. I left after six weeks feeling like a new person with a sense of purpose in life. I can't thank everyone at Castle Craig enough!

Dr Amin Karim

My experience with Dr Karim far exceeded my expectations he made me feel very comfortable with a very welcoming and calming demeanour and extremely thorough. I felt very confident in his diagnosis and proposed treatment. He also looked at a lesion i was concerned about for which I am very grateful as it needs further investigation which Dr Karim has made arrangements for.

Dr Ravi Kumar

Paediatrician

This is the second time we have visited Dr Kumar. He has been very professional and his passion for helping young children is clearly demonstrated. My daughter is very quiet and shy yet he managed to engage with her and she felt energized after both visits. He explains things very clearly and the visit did not feel rushed at all. I definitely would recommend Dr Kumar.

Mr Ashutosh Acharya

Had a 2nd meniscus tear repair and arthroscopy on my Left Knee, Mr Acharya explained everything in detail the morning of my operation, came to see me later that day and explained everything had gone well and he was confident of a full recovery if I followed the instructions of him and the physio. Happy to say 3 weeks post op and everything seems to be on track.
