Professor Nikhil Vasdev

Urologist

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer following routine screening, and I am at the younger end of the spectrum, with two teenage children who rely on me, an incredible partner, and a very full, active life. Needless to say, the diagnosis came as a shock. From the very outset, **Professor Nikhil Vasdev** was exceptional. He fast-tracked seeing us, was calm, reassuring, and immediately inspired confidence. He listened carefully — not just to the clinical facts, but to us as people — and set out a clear, structured plan at a time when everything felt overwhelming. His manner with both me and my partner was outstanding; thoughtful, compassionate, and quietly authoritative. My cancer was aggressive and required surgery to ensure a cure. Throughout the process, Professor Vasdev was completely transparent without ever being alarmist. He fought hard to preserve both my continence and sexual function, and went the extra mile during surgery to maintain the nerve structures wherever safely possible. That level of care and skill has made an enormous difference to my recovery and quality of life. What truly set him apart was the way he managed the entire journey end-to-end. He coordinated all referrals — oncology, fertility, and beyond — and delivered what can only be described as a fully managed service. He recognised that we were in shock and removed complexity at every step, allowing us to focus on getting through it. Without underplaying the seriousness of having cancer, the speed, efficiency, and excellence of my treatment — and the rapidity of my recovery — has made the whole experience feel almost like a non-event. I know how fortunate I am that this was caught early and handled so exceptionally well. We will always be deeply grateful to Professor Nikhil Vasdev. His skill, leadership, and humanity have had a profound impact on our lives, and we remain indebted to him.

Mr Alex Ionides

Ophthalmologist

It would be helpful to add the following to your briefing: after surgery - we will offer to help you to a taxi or to the taxi rank, if you do not have a person to accompany you (I went downstairs on my own and had to find a taxi - as the rank was not manned) Worth considering clear plastic, wrap around glasses for walking/cycling in windy areas/or where likely to be grit in the air Clear some space in your fridge for the eye drops which will need to be refrigerated If you are travelling invest in a portable coo lbag, with icepack to keep eye drops at the required temperature tell people ahead of time no eye make up on the day or for a month post op / swimming hair washing will be tricky for a few days, so consider dry shampoo explain to people what is normal in terms of recovery day by day over the subsequent days post surgery explain to people what to do, if despite taking the drops, there is a feeling of grit in eyes explain to people - if it is normal or not to see halos or to see with a soft focus - perhaps have images, which are shown ahead of time provide youtube video with how to insert drops - have practise drop session on a pre visit, with non irritant drops, to enable the technique to be mastered The person who provided the medicines did not go through the 'knuckle technique' which is on the document provided, trying to master this when your eye sight is recovering is not straightforward Suggest that patients have ibrufen 200 and or paracetemol at the ready suggest setting alarm on phone at regular intervals for drop taking

Mr Mustansir Alibhai

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon

Approximately 6 months ago, my sister was diagnosed with oral cancer which had spread to her cervical lymph nodes. Since this time, we have seen Mr Alibhai a number of times both prior and after the extensive surgery he performed on her. Having worked in health care now for nearly 20 years, I have met several consultants from specialties across the board. Mr Alibhai is by far one of the best in a number of ways. His knowledge and expertise is second to none - this came across in his explanation of the diagnosis and meticulous detail and success of the surgery. He has a warm and compassionate manner while being honest about a difficult diagnosis and the reality of this. Each and every time he has seen my sister, he has spent ample time with her and provided her with reassurance and answered all her questions. Mr Alibhai made a massive difference to my sister in all the time he spent with them with the exceptional care and respect he have them. I was keen to recognise the outstanding care my family received by Mr Alibhai .He is clearly an exceptional professional and massive asset to any organisation he works with.

Mr Bassem Amr

General Surgeon

I had a very positive experience with Dr Amr. From the beginning, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely concerned about my well-being. He took the time to listen carefully to my symptoms and worries, he explained my diagnosis clearly, and discussed all available treatment options in a way that was easy to understand, and with compassion. I felt respected and reassured throughout my treatment. Dr Amr and his calm approach helped ease mine and my husbands concerns during a particularly challenging time. Thanks to his outstanding treatment, expertise and guidance, l was confident about my care plan and made a full recovery from my medical emergency. I am so very grateful for the support I received from him and will be eternally grateful. He even came to visit me more than once after he treated me, even though I had been moved to another ward. Dr Amr is an absolute asset to any hospital trust.

The Park Hospital (part of Circle Health Group)

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 19 more

After my atrial fibrillation (AFib) diagnosis, I booked an appointment with Dr Davies at the Park Hospital. He explained the treatment options: medication, a cardioversion (an electrical reset of the heart), or an ablation. His manner and experience are second to none. He helped me understand the options and I decided upon the RF ablation using the new state of the art facility at the Park. Dr Davies and his brilliant team carried out the procedure and the ITU aftercare team were equally impressive. I’m very pleased to say it went well and heart is now back in normal sinus rhythm, and I’m expected to make a full recovery. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Dr Davies and everyone at the Park Hospital.

Prof. Ben Miranda

Plastic Surgeon

Professor Miranda made me feel at ease as soon as we met for the first time. He looked at the problem with my hand and explained that it was something called Dupuytrens Constriction and that it was possible to improve my hand shape by an operation. He explained in detail the procedure for an operation which I then agreed to. All went well a now 2 months after the operation and with the necessary physiotherapist, the finger that was bent is now straight and not giving me pain any more. I would recommend anyone to Professor Miranda for any surgery required on their hands. He was kind, understanding and had a sense of humour, my whole experience was made easy by his demeanour.

Osteopath West

Neurology, Osteopathy, + 2 more

I had an acute pain in my right leg and had difficulty walking. Having had IDD treatment at Osteopath West before for sciatica I called and was given an appointment later that day. On arrival i was given a thorough examination and it was decided that I most likely had a pulled muscle as well as a nerve issue. I had some deep massage on my back and leg followed by an IDD session. The result today is that the pain is considerably better and i can now walk mush better than before. I am grateful for the prompt appointment and the service I received and would recommend Osteopath West to people in a similar position.

Mrs Effie Katsarma

Plastic Surgeon

I am very glad that I saw Miss Effie Katsarma for my hand injury. She was so helpful and kind and really took the time to make sure I got the care I needed. She walked me downstairs to get me squeezed in for a sonogram appointment, that I’m sure I could not have gotten without her. She explained everything to me, with diagrams and I highly recommend her. Her secretary Pauline is also very helpful and polite on the phone (not the case with a different hand doctor’s secretary, who was quite rude) and she responded to my email immediately. I appreciate the excellent care.

London Allergy Consultants

Allergy Medicine

The ACE facility was very impressive with sleek and modern finishes, and sensitively designed for allergy with all shared areas wipable and allergen-free. As a mother of a young baby, it was also great to see the centre ideally set up for kids and babies with easy pram access everywhere and multiple baby change facilities. The centre also offered all allergy-related support services (blood tests, pharmacy, dermatology) under one roof, saving me from having to run around to get my child everything needed.

Dr. Sangeetha Devarajan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Devarajan could not have been more amazing! She was the kindest doctor and helped me so much along the way! Between appointments and admissions to hospital, she continuously checked in and supported me. For a young female the gynae world can be overwhelming, she made me feel so safe and relaxed and reassured that things will get better. She had the most amazing communication and care provided i could not be more greatful to of had her as my doctor. I will forever be so greatful. Thank you.

Miss Dana Touqmatchi

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an excellent experience with Dana. She has an exceptional bedside manner, emanating kindness and care with a friendly, attentive and personable approach. As an anxious patient, this really helped to put me at ease. The c section and recovery went better than I had anticipated, and the care I was provided both during and after the procedure was exceptional. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been under Dana’s care for such an important day, and I would recommend her unreservedly.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

Facility was excellent, nice and clean as well as lovely and quiet. Instructions weee clear, and the receptionist was extremely friendly, as were the nursing staff I saw. The surgeon I spoke to was excellent, everything was explained and he was more than happy to explain things in more detail if I required, and I didn’t feel pressured to leave, as if I was taking too much of his time. My overall experience was excellent, I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

HCA Healthcare UK The Princess Grace Hospital

Breast Surgery, Urology, + 8 more

I only saw Mr Lambert so cannot give feed back on any other member of his team. From being referred by someone who knows him well, I was predisposed to like him and respect his expertise, but hadn't expected to find such a a courteous, thoughtful, kind man who engaged with every aspect of me as a patient. Mr Lambert answered all my questions and was patient and understanding. I felt listened to, for the first time since I had my injury.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I underwent a shoulder operation on the 17th November. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout: the room I was allocated for the day was clean, tidy and comfortable as was the bathroom. The post-operative tuna sandwich was delicious! All the staff were excellent, including admin staff, nurses, physios, anaesthetists and my surgeon, Mr Jahnich. The followup care has also been excellent, with especial praise to my physio, Chris.

He then carried out an examination of both hearing aids and informed me that they were both in good order. I was finished in a little under fifteen minutes and left delighted with the service.
