In August 2025, due to the long delays at Luton and Dunstable, they offered for me to be seen as an NHS patient at One Stop (OSD) Clinic at Hemel Hempstead, where I was seen by Dr Mittel. Following a consultation, he advised that I be referred back to L&D for a hysterectomy (he could not do overnight procedures at his clinic) and prescribed Ryeqo, a medication that suppresses ovarian function and includes HRT. However, I was not provided with a NHS prescription for Ryeqo, as Dr Mittel did not have the necessary NHS prescription pad and advised that it must come from an NHS consultant. I have since discovered that my GP is unable to prescribe Ryeqo and that this must indeed be handled by a hospital consultant. I am unable to afford this medication privately, as it costs approximately £100 per month. With no consultant to prescribe the medication on the NHS, I am therefore left without treatment and unclear as to whether I am even on the waiting list for a hysterectomy. To add to my distress, my interactions with Dr Mittel have been upsetting. During our initial consultation, when I asked about potential side effects of Ryeqo, he responded inappropriately by laughing and comparing the risks to getting on a bus or plane. He failed to explain that only a consultant could prescribe the medication on the NHS, and I had to research this information myself. He also failed to talk me through any of the potential side effects which again I have now researched myself. At a subsequent appointment for a hysteroscopy, when I attempted to raise my concerns about still not being able to get the NHS Ryeqo prescription (as advised by his secretary), he dismissed the issue, saying it was not the right time to discuss it. Instead, he began venting his frustrations about NHS inefficiencies and his personal issues with parking as a consultant. This unprofessional and inappropriate behaviour left me extremely upset and in tears just prior to undergoing the procedure. Although he later apologised, stating he was “stressed,” this is not the level of care I expect or deserve as a patient and I wonder if I was his private patient as opposed to an NHS patient his manner would have been the same.

Mr Emeka Oragui

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had been living with severe osteoarthritis in both hips for years and once I had made the difficult decision to go ahead with surgery I became extremely concerned about the risk of hip dislocation after surgery, because I have very loose connective tissue. That’s why I specifically asked for the anterior approach hip replacement, which is well known for offering less risk of dislocation, less pain, and quicker recovery. I was referred to Mr. Emeka Oragui, and from the very first consultation I had a very good feeling about him. There was a sense of humility that gave me confidence in his capabilities. For me, it was an overwhelming decision to have the OP, to trust someone with my body and my future, but I felt I could surrender to the process, knowing I was in the care of a skilled and thoughtful orthopaedic surgeon. The results were far beyond my expectations. The next day I was walking short distances indoors, just four days I was walking short distances outside with crutches, and by the fifth day I no longer needed painkillers. An additional benefit was the “Bikini” anterior approach incision, where the scar is hidden in the crease of the leg and is already fading to the point of being almost invisible. After the OP Mr. Oragui told me I had full range of motion and encouraged me to move as I felt able, letting pain be my guide. Now, at 24 and 9 weeks post-op on each hip, I have regained about 90% of my pre-arthritis range of motion in the first hip, and the second hip is progressing nicely. A couple of months before surgery, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis. This meant the prosthetic stem had to be cemented to reduce the risk of fracture during the operation. I was deeply worried that this would limit my mobility, but to my relief, I have not noticed any restriction at all. I feel someone was looking out for me when I was referred to Mr. Oragui. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel that he was sent my way. His 20+ years of experience with the anterior hip replacement approach has given me freedom of movement, confidence in my hips, and after 14 years I am able to walk without pain.

Mr Davide Patrini

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

I found Mr Patrini to be a wonderful surgeon. He explained the procedure thoroughly, outlining both the benefits and risks, and never attempted to persuade me one way or the other, leaving the decision entirely up to me. Before the operation, he once again went through the procedure and potential risks, answering all my questions as well as those of my husband and daughter. Following the operation, he spoke with my husband to explain how it went, and I also saw him personally afterwards. He visited me again on Wednesday and Thursday morning, examined me, and answered all of my questions in full. In addition, he kept my husband updated directly. In conclusion, I would describe Mr Patrini as a conscientious, patient-centred surgeon who combines clarity with genuine care.

Dr. Franciske Evans

Psychiatrist

Dr Evans came highly recommended when doing research on finding a practice for a private ADHD assessment for our 9 year old. From our first appointment through to our feedback session Dr Evans was very welcoming, made our 9 year old feel at ease in clinic, operated with absolute professionalism and communicated well with us at each stage. After a very long wait on a waiting list with the NHS that was going no where, Dr Evans has given us the light at the end of a very long tunnel and I will be forever thankful for finding her. Our new chapter is only just beginning and Dr Evans has explained in detail next steps and will continue to be part of this process until eventually the NHS take over.

Infiniti Healthcare

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology

I arrived early as I had been unsure of the volume of traffic at that time of day. I saw my consultant at the time that I had expected to see her. The consultation was exactly as I would have expected from previous visits...she was kind and polite and every inch a professional. She was clear in her explanations, asked my views on the treatment and answered every question clearly. The procedure required that I remained on site for a while and, when it became necessary, she saw me again to revisit the treatment plan. A totally helpful experience and I have no reservations in recommending both the Nuffield and my consultant to friends and family.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Audiology, Cardiology, + 22 more

My wife is in hospital for an operation today and due to prior anxieties over NHS treatment, we asked the hospital for me to stay with my wife in the room throughout including overnight. They have been most accommodating and have bent over backwards to make it work and kept me fully informed throughout how the operation is going. The consultant was more than happy for me to ask questions both during consultations and the surgery today and has given great confidence that all will go as planned. Ward staff have been more than helpful to both of us and treated us as individuals and my wife has been provided a high level of care throughout.

Anglian Urology Associates

Urology

I came to urology as a private patient because I am allergic to so many antibiotics my own doctors had failed to prescribe something that would clear an infection I had had for six weeks. Within ten minutes of seeing the urologist and explaining things he prescribed medication that has cleared the infection and it hasn’t returned in the last five weeks. I am thrilled with the service I received and the prompt action of the urologist. I have since undergone further tests, which have had only a short wait time, perhaps a week. All I all I can’t thank the team enough for everything they have done. I finally felt listened to.

Mr Denis Tsepov

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

From my initial consultation to post operative follow up Mr Tsepov has been exceptional. He explained everything so clearly, took the time to answer every question I had and was very kind and compassionate. Mr Tsepov’s team have also been fantastic. His Personal Assistant provided clinic letters and follow up notes immediately after appointments, arranged scans and tests seamlessly and Vicky, the clinical nurse was very helpful at answering any post op questions I had. I am very grateful for the care I have received and would highly recommend Mr Tsepov and his team

Mr Edmund Chedgy

Urologist

Mr. Chedgy has been exceptional throughout my entire experience under his care. From our first meeting to the most recent, he has been clear, concise, and always took the time to explain every scenario thoroughly. He’s also been an absolute pleasure to deal with—professional, approachable, and reassuring at every step. He completed my treatment two months ago, and I can honestly say I wish I had done it sooner. The results have been outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Chedgy to anyone in need of expert urological care.

General Practice (GP), General Practice (GP) (Video Consultation), + 6 more

The nurse who did the pre visit assessment was amazing. She was very friendly & put me at ease and explained exactly what was happening. I was sent an easy to read comprehensive report of my results prior to seeing the doctor which was great as I could go prepared with my questions. Again, he was very friendly & put me at ease, also carried out further tests, explained my results and advised accordingly. I really really recommend anyone thinking of seeking medical advise to use them.

Spire Leeds Hospital

We were anxious about our daughter Abigail going under anaesthetic but put completely at ease by the friendly and professional team. Mr Moor gave a detailed description of the procedure and we particularly liked that our daughter was given the choice of IV or gas administration of anaesthesia. Nurse Jen provided exceptional care and was kind and compassionate throughout. Aftercare advice on discharge was very thorough. The ward was spotlessly clean and food very good.

Mr Ahmed El Gohari

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor! I was told by a previous gynaecologist that it wasn’t a gynaecology issue and to not come back. After fighting to see another gynaecologist I was finally sent to Dr Gohari who made me feel so heard and reassured me that he is happy to perform the surgery but it’s completely my choice. After around 7 years of fighting for a diagnosis I finally got one. He went above and beyond for me and I couldn’t be more grateful!

Mr Hariom Sur

Urologist

My father has been seeing Mr Sur over the last two years and today was a 6 monthly check of his bladder. As ever we could not ask for more. Mr Sur treats my father with the utmost respect and is clear and precise when explaining things. My father is 87 and always comes away from his appointments praising the care he has received from Mr Sur. We have been so lucky to be under Mr Sur's care throughout my father's bladder cancer diagnosis.

RTN Diagnostics

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I have had a great experience through this whole process honestly. My GP were struggling to make any considerable progress but RTN have been amazing. Doing my video call assessment I went into it extremely anxious as video calls are not the sort of thing I feel comfortable with. However Lucy, made me feel extremely at ease, and the whole conversation was easy to get through, no discomfort at all.

I am extremely happy with the professionalism and positivity shown by Maureen Wicks. She has been instrumental in helping me improve the movement in my knees, steadiness in my overall gait and also to achieve significant pain reduction. Through her feedback and advice she has created a ‘virtuous circle’ for me and I am subsequently living a healthier and more energetic life.

Mr George Voyatzis

Ophthalmologist

Ask to be first in the queue rather than wait around and get nervous. Wish I’d watched the operation on line to know what was happening. Very quick and efficient though.the anaesthetist reassured me the most and explained what he was doing and why plus his it might make me feel. I was relieved to have me other eye covered eventually.
