Practice Plus Group Hospital, Barlborough

I had knee replacement surgery at the Practice Plus hospital at Barlborough on 29th November. The pain I experienced during the two weeks following the surgery on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate at 8 to 9. Now that I am in my eight week of recovery my pain level is 1 or2 I had a problem in that during the first 2 weeks after surgery I was hardly able to sleep due to the pain when lying down and some nights I had zero hours of sleep. After discussion with the hospital pharmacist it became evident that one of the pain killing medicines I had been prescribed had insomnia as one of it’s side effects. After stopping this medication and taking an alternative my sleep pattern returned to normal and my recovery accelerated. From the experiences of friends who had undergone this surgery I knew that physiotherapy was the key to a successful outcome. The physiotherapy I received at Barlborough was exceptional. By following their exercise plans and receiving guidance at my follow-up visits I am now able walk for one hour virtually pain free, ride my static bike at home and if all goes well should be able to ride my bike on the road in a few weeks time. Thank you Barlborough Stephen M

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

Dr Eugene Oteng-Ntim

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I’m so grateful to have had the most amazing experience with Eugene as my consultant. He was so kind and welcoming and made me feel at ease from start to finish. He did his absolute best to meet my birth preferences and made me feel really comfortable and listened to. I ended up needing an emergency c-section which was a huge fear of mine but it couldn’t have gone better. The surgery was quick and comfortable, and it was a beautiful, happy experience. My healing process was virtually painless and my scar looks so neat and tidy, i could not fault this birthing experience at all. I would recommend Eugene and the westminster suite team to everyone and I wouldn’t go anywhere else to have my next baby! Thank you so so much.

The McIndoe Centre

Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

Great! Excellent overall experience. Facilities in general good, room, cleanliness, staff and procedure. I really am a fan, and if necessity arises would return with a lot of confidence that things would go well. Two small items of feedback : Negative - situation of the centre is not ideal and some patients get a view of a dingy disused courtyard . This is a minor point ! Food could be a little more interesting. Positive - its both reassuring and positive that the whole experience, especially the excellent staff, are so personal. The patient feels that care is tailored specifically to them. Little danger of removing the wrong leg! Warm human interchanges throughout, which is very, very good!

Mr Ahsan Sheeraz

Orthopaedic Surgeon

We would like to thank Dr. Sheeraz for the excellent care he provided to my father. He was professional and thorough throughout the consultation. He conducted a detailed examination of my father’s knee and clearly explained the diagnosis and next steps, which gave us confidence and reassurance. He took the time to address all our concerns and listened carefully to each issue we raised. We especially appreciated that he also spoke with my mother and offered helpful advice on maintaining bone health as she ages. His guidance was practical and easy to understand. We felt listened to and well cared for, and we are grateful for his expertise and attentive approach.

Mr Philip Dobson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Dobson saw me recently for ongoing pain I have had in my right knee. He had looked after me previously for a skiing injury to the same knee and I fully trusted his expertise in a new issue. He was extremely polite and professional and diagnosed a medial meniscal tear. My investigations were prompt and he went out of his way to find a treatment date that was convenient for me. I’m now 3 months post arthroscopic debridment and microfracture and I am pain free with full movement and have started running and training again. Couldn’t be happier with the treatment and fully recommend him!

Nuffield Health Taunton Hospital

Breast Surgery, Cardiology, + 16 more

This was my second cataract operation on my left eye having had a very successful cataract removal and lenses replacement on my right eye performed by Mr Sian a couple of months earlier at Musgrove Park. Mr Sian’s skills , patience and care are exemplary. The outcome hss exceeded all my expectations. For information I initially saw Mr Sian at the Nuffield and had my resulting procedures at Musgrove Park due to the complexity of both eyes. My comments apply mainly to Musgrove although are also applicable to treatment received by Mr Sian at the Nuffield Taunton.

Mr Kenneth Elder

General Surgeon

I had an excellent experience with this consultant and cannot praise him highly enough. I have met him twice, including once 18 months ago, and on both occasions he was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional. From the outset he reassured me during what was a very anxious time and explained everything clearly and calmly, which immediately put me at ease. I felt listened to and cared for throughout and had complete confidence in him. I truly felt I was in the very best hands. An outstanding consultant.

Newmedica Plymouth

Ophthalmology

I was very apprehensive about eye surgery, but Tom Cudrnak Ophthalmology put my mind at ease. The procedure was painless, swift, and professional. I felt completely safe and supported, especially under Roni's warm, friendly guidance and that of the other team members. I felt in safe hands from the very first consultation to the final follow-up. It was a fantastic process. The results of the eye operation are miraculous and life-changing, and it means so much to me to have my sight back, thanks to you.

Mr Vivek Gulati

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Gulati during October initially for a consultation. This confirmed and was followed by a total hip replacement in December concluding with a final follow on consultation in January. Mr Gulati proved to be an excellent surgeon throughout my journey. He was clear on his advice, a consummate professional in all our meetings and a very positive, warm and engaging demeanor overall have made for as positive an outlook as I could hope for. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Gulati.

London Gynaecology - Harley Street

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Dr. Muglu has been one of the best consultants I have ever seen. I read his reviews before booking and they are all true. He is kind, patient and explains everything in understandable terms and is never in a rush to get you out and onto the next one! He went above and beyond to advise me even once my gynae tests were completed and we were had to explore other options. The support staff were also always welcoming and attentive. Overall, a fantastic experience. Thank you!

GenesisCare Surrey

Oncology

All the staff at GenesisCare Guildford could not have made me feel more welcome and at ease with the treatment I was due to receive. Each staff member is professional and ensured I was fully comfortable with what was about to start. I would highly recommend GenesisCare Guildford as they have exceeded all expectations of what I thought was going to be very traumatic and upsetting experience. I can’t thank them enough and will be forever grateful for all they have done

Clarity - Kings Norton

Gastroenterology, Ophthalmology

Transfered to Clarytin after disappointing time with NHS awaiting time for appointment for cataract removal. Very pleased with Clarity who saw me very shortly after referral and operated on a week later. I was going to wait for the next operation on the NHS on the 4th February but when that was moved to sometime in April, I took the next available appt on January 20th for a private operation. Both private experiences have been a pleasure and very good.

Mr Sam Norton

Plastic Surgeon

We had an excellent experience with Mr Norton when my son had two moles removed. The care was professional, clear and reassuring throughout, with everything explained thoroughly. Also very caring and understanding towards my son when he was anxious. The procedure was handled with great care, and we felt confident we were in very capable hands. The end result was brilliant. Highly recommended.
