Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Miss Shalini Chawla highly enough. After a long awaited pregnancy following five years of IVF, this journey meant everything to us. At my 28 weeks scan we were told we were expecting a large baby, and given that I am 45 and this was my first pregnancy, we knew we wanted one dedicated consultant to coordinate and oversee our care. For that reason, we decided to go private. After meeting several obstetricians, it was immediately clear that Miss Chawla was the right choice. From our very first appointment, she was personable, empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and instantly put a set ease. No question was over too small or silly, and she made herself available to us 24/7, which was invaluable during section anxious time. Miss Chawla got to work straight away. During her initial assessment, she identified the possible early stages of preeclampsia, arranged all the appropriate blood tests and scans promptly, and began planning ahead, including scheduling a potential delivery date. Her organization and forward planning meant that we never had to worry - everything was taken care of. Her communication skills are truly second to none. She kept us updated daily, even while she was on holiday, often checking in by text to reassure us and explain us the next steps. When my water is broke unexpectedly at 33 weeks, all plans changed. Despite the situation being frightening and stressful, Miss Shalini Chawla was immediately on hand, overseeing every aspect of my care and leading the team through an emergency cesarean section. Throughout it all, I had complete confidence that she would deliver our baby safely and she did. Her care did not stop after delivery. Her after care has been exceptional, checking in daily and continuing to do so even three weeks later. That level of dedication, compassion, and commitment is rare. Miss Chawla is an outstanding obstetrician, and I will be forever grateful for the care she provided. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional maternity care.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

I went in today for my first ever colonoscopy. Although I was nervous, every staff member I met made me feel comfortable and at ease. there was a brief 10 minute wait before I saw the nurse, who was very informative about the procedure and took some recordings (blood pressure, heart rate etc.) before asking me some questions. After not very long at all I went into the room to have my procedure and Samer and his team were excellent in talking me through the process, what I might experience, and how long it would be. They regularly checked in on me throughout to ask how I was doing. Regarding the colonoscopy itself - overall I felt no pain at all really - some discomfort from the gas (which they make you aware of) but otherwise it was fine. I chose sedation rather than gas & air, and found this worked well for me. It is an odd sensation in general; but manageable. The procedure took maybe 20 minutes, before I was moved to recovery. The recovery nurse & all staff members there were very friendly. They read me my report, made sure I understood the results, and gave me some biscuits and squash (which I was grateful for after 24H of not eating!) - I was out from here after around 20 minutes, having no notable lingering side effects from either the medication or procedure. Overall, fantastic service from everyone. Thank you so much.

Dr. Gerasimos Fragkoulis

Urologist

I had penis filler and it was one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. I had the filler on the Monday and by Wednesday I was in a&e with a very balloon swollen penis and had to have catheter inserted in my penis for 5 days. I was then rushed for emergency surgery the next morning to remove the filler and infection at the injection site. I was in hospital and 5 days and I’m now under a nhs urologist because the urologist at Moorgate cancelled the video call because he said it was unwell. Once they have your money your on your own and the chances of compilations are a lot higher than what they claim. The office I had my filler was not sterilised and moor like someone’s living room. Once if fully recovered I find out if it’s caused and permanent damage I will be looking to start a medical neglect claim against Moorgate. PLEASE if your thinking about having this done seriously I would re consider. Just use an extender/pump.

My experience of the hospital was very good. The staff were amazing especially Jayne on Day surgery and David at the ward at night. The only downside that came to my attention is being told that there was no lactose free milk for my tea. The lady, I did catch her name, told me that she wasn’t aware of my overnight stay. She asked me if I was aware that I was staying overnight and I replied ‘yes’. She then went on to ask if I had put it in my forms prior to attending and I said yes. She kept on going on it wasn’t her fault she had been told. A bit of advice would be that she overshared. She clearly sorted the problem as the following morning someone had picked up the milk and I had it with my tea.

Dr. Reza Abdullah

Respiratory Doctor

I have an Autoimmune disorder with Bronchiextasis. I saw Dr Abdullah due to poor NHS care from both respiratory and rheumatology service at Hammersmith Hospitals. I underwent extensive, blood tests, lung function tests and CT lungs and echocardiogram. I am now better informed about the state of my lungs. My treatment has also been optimised. Dr Abdullah is professional but easy to talk to. He has an excellent bed side manner. He explained my results clearly. I am a retired GP and have no hesitation in recommending Dr Abdullah if you are dissatisfied with your NHS care or have any concerns about your breathing.

Mr Jawad Freites

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

From consultation to follow up after surgery, you cannot ask for anyone better than Mr. Freites. I felt comfortable and well informed about my surgery and what I could expect afterwards. But what really ment the most was the fact that he acknowledged my fibromyalgia, taking into consideration how the fibromyalgia would respond to the stress of surgery, doing whatever he could to limit that stress, even down to words of encouragement and sometimes it’s just the little things that help the most in healing. Thank you Mr. Freites, so glad I picked you to do my surgery.

UME Health

I injured my back the week before Christmas — I could not even walk with the pain. I emailed Dr Swan over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday. I should’ve known from my previous experiences that he really cares about his patients and their outcomes so I was not surprised when he called me at home in the evening to discuss what I could do to immediately to relieve the spasm and a plan of next steps for investigations and treatment. I could not think of a safer pair of hands to be in when you are in severe pain and dealing with a spinal injury.

Spencer Private Hospital Margate

Pain Management, Audiology, + 12 more

It was a little overwhelming as I was expecting to discuss fitting a coil and whilst that was mentioned, I was advised about having surgery which was unexpected. I found myself agreeing to the surgery despite not knowing much about it. The risks were not explained and I didnt find out how the procedure would be executed or potential recovery time that might be required. I feel a bit confused about whether this is the right course of action or not. I was not pleased to receive a letter that claimed the risks were explained to me, when they were not.

London Digestion

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Professor Sanderson is a very kind and enterprising man. Other doctors have either had little ideas or will to treat me. In contrast, Professor Sanderson has never given up trying to help me. It is in a large part thanks to him alone that I’m still alive. His administrative staff are also a pleasure and make sure I’m well looked after. Do contact them if you are considering it. It will probably be one of the best things you ever do.

Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I feel very much a part of the team that is working to achieve the best possible outcome following my knee replacement. Mr Griffiths is extremely good at explaining what is currently going on with my knee, and is very encouraging about what I have achieved to date. This , in turn, encourages me to put my best effort into working towards my goal of full mobility so that I can live the life I want to in the future.

Dr Ken Darzy

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

Dr Darzy listened to my symptoms in a way that no other doctor has done bedore, and with his knowledge and testing I was finally able to get diagnosed and prescribed the correct treatment for an issue I’ve been suffering with for many many years - where many other doctors have been unable to help. The treatment for me has been life changing, and I am forever grateful to Dr Darzy - thank you!

Miss Seema Bagtharia

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Miss Seema Bagtharia was a breath of fresh air. I went in feeling very apprehensive, as I’ve been dealing with symptoms for many years. She made me feel heard, asked a lot of great questions, and explained in detail the possible causes. She put me at ease and has booked further exploratory treatment. On top of all this, she was a really lovely person, which was great. Thank you

Dr Ben Corden

Cardiologist

Ben was very personable and was very understanding to our circumstances that prompted my consultation. He quickly put me, and my wife who attended with me, at ease. He explain things clearly and set out a clear options for a way forward. Very pleased I chose Ben to see about my issues and deal with the actions we agreed. Thank you very much Ben.
