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!)

Professor Owen Judd

ENT Surgeon

I chose to book an appointment with Professor Owen Judd, after compiling my extensive research on ENT consultants in my area. I deemed that professor Owen Judd ticked all the boxes that I required and more. Professor Judd is widely recognised for his ability to manage complex and challenging cases with professionalism and clarity. He communicates diagnoses and treatment plans effectively, ensuring patients feel informed, reassured, and actively involved in their care. His calm manner and attention to detail contribute to consistently high standards of clinical safety and patient satisfaction. I have now had the opportunity to witness this professionalism firsthand. I felt very reassured and appreciative of his diagnosis and treatment suggestions. Overall, in my experience, Professor Owen Judd exemplifies excellence in consultant ENT practice, combining advanced clinical skill with academic contribution and compassionate patient care. I have no doubt therefore, that he would be just as exemplary in the discharge of his other specialty areas of his profession. Professor Judd comes highly recommended and I would like to reassure any potential future patients that they would be in very safe and capable hands.

Mr Gautam Mehra

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Gautam has been incredibly attentive from the very first day we met. He always listened to me with great care, took time to explain everything, and supported me throughout the entire process. He performed an extremely complex operation with outstanding skill, and the second surgery was also carried out by Dr Gautam. Both procedures went successfully, and I always felt safe and confident under his care. He gave me a sense of calm and trust during a very difficult and emotional time. He prescribed all the necessary medications and physiotherapy, and whenever I had questions, he responded promptly and kindly. His support never stopped outside appointments — he was always there when I needed guidance. Beyond his exceptional professionalism, Dr Gautam is a genuinely kind, compassionate, and empathetic person. I am deeply grateful for everything he has done for me and sincerely wish him good health, success, and all the very best.

Mr Bilal Al-Obaidi

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had a hip replacement at The Circle Hospital on 2nd August 2025, performed by Mr Bilal Al‑Obaidi. Mr Al-Obaidi is a true gentleman - kind, empathetic, and incredibly reassuring. Before the operation, he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt fully informed and completely at ease. Throughout my stay, I felt genuinely cared for at every stage. The surgery itself went extremely well, and my recovery has been excellent. Mr Al-Obaidi is clearly held in very high regard by staff across all departments, which speaks volumes about him as both a surgeon and a person. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my consultant and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone considering a hip replacement.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

I have recently had two procedures within two months, plus outpatient appointments. All members of staff, from receptionist to nursing staff to consultants, were extremely polite, and nothing was too much trouble. I have had two separate consultants, and they were extremely knowledgeable and put me at ease, as I was quite nervous. Their secretaries were very friendly each time I rang through, and nothing was too much trouble. The outpatient department is very modern and spotless. I was very impressed and grateful that so many different eye examinations were performed on me. The in patient department is also spotless, and my meal after my operation was delicious!

I've been trying to book an initial appointment for last two weeks. I've been emailed times slot for appointment but then we're told that the time slot was taken by another patient. I've called numerous times. But there is no one picking up the phone. Emails are not responded to in timely manner either. I don't know what to think of you're services and what your staff are like because you're team are not there to take calls or email back when we need them. Will you're doctors be the same? Would it be that difficult to get a consultation with them. I'm very disappointed with your reception staff!

Better - Soho

Acupuncture, Physiotherapy, + 2 more

I have chronic pain (left elbow, right wrist, and lower back) due to sports injuries and less-than-ideal posture from long working hours in finance. I first met Simon at the Canary Wharf clinic in 2018, and he has since become my go-to physio. Not only does he provide effective pain relief, he also helps me understand the root causes so I can manage the pain myself. I highly recommend him to anyone who works long hours and also trains hard at the gym. Went to see him first week of Jan 2026 becasue my wrist was a bit flared up last month, and he's as good as usual!

Mr Farid Ud-Din

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot thank Mr. Ud -Din enough for giving me my life back! From the initial consultation, when Mr. Ud -Din explained exactly what operation I needed, and assured me of the outcome, my experience of this wonderful surgeon has been exemplary and totally live affirming. My experience has been amazingly positive, and I can now walk properly again with a total hip replacement, and can even walk in a straight line again for the first time in years! My surgeon is extremely knowledgeable, talented, and exudes reassuring calm at all times. I am forever in his debt.

Mr Sanjith Gnanappiragasam

Urologist

I had a really positive experience during my visit. The doctor was kind, attentive, and took the time to actually listen to my concerns instead of rushing through the appointment. They asked thoughtful questions and explained everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and well informed. I left feeling confident about the next steps and reassured that my concerns were taken seriously. It’s clear the doctor genuinely cares about their patients, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone who is both knowledgeable and approachable.

Mr Gurdip Shergill

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Had a review on my right shoulder today with Mr Gurdip Shergill at New Hall Hospital. He explained in detail the issues with my shoulder and how we could move forward with a plan. I was able to make an informed decision and surgery was decided. A rare gentleman in this busy world and with a smile. Very professional, never felt rushed and was given the option to ask questions. Very impressed and have asked for my husband to be also referred for treatment under Mr Shergill.

Dorset Heart Clinic

Cardiology

I found the whole experience excellent and Dr Butcher was incredilbly helpful and explained everything incredibly well and I left feeling much happier about my possible situation. He put my mind at ease. The nurse who did my ECG was very nice and helpful as well as was the lady who sorted out parking so all in all it was a very good experience.

UK Vein Clinic - Exeter

Vascular Surgery

Very good explanation before the date and also on the day before the actual appointment. They gave me complete confidence, and the nurses were very good at chatting with me to distract me from the painful parts of the varicose vein precedure. A lot of information at the time, but also online afterwards so that i had no further questions.

Mr Franscois Runau

General Surgeon

Dr. Runau’s treatment, care, and support throughout the entire process were exceptional. Communication was clear and reassuring, everything was handled efficiently, and I always felt well informed and supported. Most importantly, the treatment worked. A truly great experience and a fantastic doctor. I would highly recommend Dr. Runau.

Dr Mohan was empathic and compassionate. I felt his explanations were helpful and his suggestions around future management included psychological approaches as well as a medical perspective and suggestions for potentially useful medication. He emphasised that I had choices and his approach felt very gentle and normalising. Thank you

Mr Saurabh Phadnis

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have attended a follow-up appointment with Dr Phadnis to review my health since the previous visit. He was professional and attentive. Also, he was taking time to listen , and give appropriate advice and reassurance. So I felt involved in decisions my care and next steps were explained well, too.
