Reflex 18 - Colchester

Acupuncture, Orthotics, + 5 more

I have been seeing Josh at Reflex 18 for the past two months as part of my recovery plan following a Total Knee Replacement in October 2025. During my initial consultation, Josh carefully established my prior level of fitness and worked with me to identify ambitious yet realistic rehabilitation goals. He designed a bespoke programme of graduating exercises which are further adapted during each subsequent appointment. I find it helpful that Josh demonstrates each exercise, fine tunes my ‘effort’ and also emails a visual guide, as a reminder, after each appointment. I believe that I have made far greater progress in terms of knee flexion, stamina and strength by visiting Reflex 18 than I ever would have done if I had attempted to pursue my own rehab using a book or online package. Josh has the ability to identify which muscles need to be worked upon in order to achieve a certain goal and this is something which I could have not done myself. The Reflex 18 rooms are immaculately clean and are well-equipped. I have found every staff member to be friendly and highly professional. There is never any pressure to book further appointments. Parking is plentiful and convenient.. I am very happy with the support which I have received from Reflex 18.

Mr Gautam Talawadekar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I cannot praise Mr Talawadekar, known more fondly as Mr T, highly enough. What an ambassador for the NHS! From the start of my referral for progressive dupytrons contracture over 12 months ago, through to surgery on the 27th October and post op consultation, he has shown such kindness and compassion wrapped up with a wonderful sense of humour. (the delay in my review is due to being out of the country) His knowledge and expertise in the condition as he engages with you at the consultations, is obvious. As is his passion and devotion to his craft. I did not have one second of anxiety about my surgery or doubt that Mr T would do an excellent job, and he did not let me down. Within a few weeks I had almost full use of my hand with a slight restriction being around the post op swelling. After 8 weeks and continuing physio I now have no swelling or scarring and a completely straight finger. I will be eternally grateful to Mr T and his wonderful skill as an outstanding surgeon.

Deben Private GP Services

General Practice (GP)

The Deben private GP service was thoughtful and reassuring throughout. Treatment was prescribed promptly in anticipation of a potentially serious issue, with careful and attentive follow-up, and an appropriate referral arranged swiftly. The doctor listened closely, showed genuine empathy, and took time to understand how the symptoms were affecting overall wellbeing. There was no sense of being rushed, and everything was explained clearly and calmly. Overall, Deben delivered a supportive, patient-centred experience - calm, kind, and reassuring from start to finish.

Mr Michael Van Den Bossche

General Surgeon

I have had Mr Van den Bossche for three of my surgeries now, and many of my friends have also had him as their surgeon. I trust him (quite literally!) with my life. He understands my busy nature and always strives to get me back to my busy and active lifestyle very quickly - whilst making sure I am taking it easy enough to recover. He always makes sure I know all the risks, and goes out of his way to check on me, and I really like him as a person. His secretary, Rebecca, is always prompt with her responses to me, and is also incredibly kind.

Living Mind

Psychiatry

I’ve had an outstanding experience with my psychiatrist from the very first session. They created a safe welcoming environment where I was truly hard and understood the approach compassionate professional professional Taylor to my needs which has made a huge difference in my mental health journey. They take the time to explain treatment options clearly and always encourage open communication. I feel supported and empowered thanks for their guidance. Highly recommended to anyone seeking thoughtful and effective psychiatric care

Dr. Billie West

Dentist

Billie was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. She took x-rays of my back lower and upper teeth where I felt pain and she explained everything very clearly as to why I was experiencing pain. She said it can come and go and today the pain seems to have gone! I took her advice to use a tepe between the two roots of the back molar giving the problem. Billie was most friendly and reassuring and it was good to have her suggested options such as root canal treatment or extraction if the pain becomes unmanageable.

Mr Ako Nnochiri

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Highly recommend Mr Nnochiri. I had an open myomectomy surgery last year December (2025). The best decision I made for myself by far, I trusted my gut and went with the best surgeon. Mr Nnochiri is calm, attentive and understanding you feel seen which is very important and considering my journey with fibroids my mind was at ease. I’m extremely appreciative and grateful of my experience. Thanks again Mr Nnochiri! Sian.

Associate Professor Alex Day

Ophthalmologist

I had an excellent experience overall. Although I needed a follow-up procedure shortly after my initial treatment, the team acted immediately and handled everything with absolute professionalism. I felt completely reassured, very well looked after, and the aftercare was exceptional. Any concerns were addressed quickly and thoroughly, and I always felt supported. I genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

New Victoria Hospital

Acupuncture, Cardiology, + 26 more

This is a hospital I tell everyone about. The private Gem where service and speed excel all the bigger bars in London with the accompanying expertise. I hope BUPA’s acquisition does not change what is the best private hospital in the cpu try and I unfortunately have been to may form London to Southampton to Oxford. Outstanding care and true real world service excellence

Mr Jan Marciniak

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Marciniak is so positive with a wonderful bedside manner. I saw him recently after a total hip replacement and couldn't thank him enough for giving me my life back. I can now play with the grandchildren, walk comfortably without pain meds, drive and generally enjoy life again. So much admiration for the work of this wonderful surgeon.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

I couldn’t have wished for a more caring and helpful team who carried out my cataract removal surgery. From the receptionist to the consultant they all made me feel reassured, which was much needed as I was very apprehensive about the operation. I’m happy to say it all went smoothly and I’m so pleased with the outcome.

Mr Andrew Skyrme

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Andrew Skyrme has been great. Excellent manner, everything explained, professional and friendly. From my initial consultation through the surgery day and my follow up, everything has gone to plan and no nasty surprises!! I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone considering a knee replacement

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I was very nervous to have my assessment but the assessor made me feel at ease, let me pause when I needed to and was happy for my husband to say some things on my behalf, he seemed to understand what I was trying to say and added to it to make it make more sense, very good experience overall

Queens Terrace Dental Practice

Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dental practice aside, which are exemplary, the practice needs some heating it was too cold in there and I must say £5 for the soft bristle tooth brush just because I forgot mine was not necessary at all. I felt a little shoehorned into having to buy that which I did not appreciate.

Spencer Private Hospital Ashford

Pain Management, Audiology, + 11 more
