Medical Prime Menopause Clinic

General Practice (GP)

I found MP through a friend of my sister who was having an horrific menopausal ordeal so she decided to go private and discovered MP. She spoke very highly of them and so both myself and my sister immediately booked appointments. I had an unpleasant interaction about 2 years earlier with an NHS FEMALE doctor at my GP surgery when I tried seeking help with my menopausal symptoms, as I found her quite callous and unsympathetic as she told me that I just needed to buckle down & get on with it as it is normal and every woman goes through it, but she would describe pills if I couldn’t handle it. I was so disheartened and discouraged that I never sought any further help. So struggled through this for three and a half years without any medical help. I tried a lot of natural & herbal remedies but nothing seemed to help, if anything it made my symptoms worse. I was suffering from awful hot & cold flushes and unbearable itchy skin. It was so debilitating and was making me miserable and I have always been a bright and upbeat individual. I had a talk with Zarina, the office manager, who arranges all the appointments and follow up calls and who was simply put a godsend. She was empathetic, patient, kind and very reassuring. She is an amazing ambassador for the clinic. I referred to her as My Earth Angel, she was beyond helpful. My doctor of choice was Dr Ash. I had my first appointment with her and liked her immediately. She is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and could answer any question asked of her. She put me at my ease instantly and asked considered and pertinent questions surrounding my symptoms. I never felt that she was just going through the motions and that I was one of many. She was very down to earth, personable and likeable. It almost felt like a chat between friends , although one of them extremely knowledgeable about the subject at hand. I came away feeling fortified and HEARD! Dr Ash immediately got me started on a prescription , and advised a follow up appointment for 12 weeks later to see how the medication had worked. I used a pharmacy that they are affiliated with to order my prescription and it was an huge relief as it arrived to my workplace the very next day so I could start on it immediately. I had my follow up appointment with Dr Ash and she adjusted my prescription as my symptoms had lessened but not disappeared so upped the strength which helped immensely. I am now receiving my prescription through the NHS and am doing really well and have gotten my life back , but I could not have achieved this without Medical Prime who put me on the road to recovery. Yes it is expensive but totally worth it in my opinion. I had no idea about where to start and it is a minefield as there are so many doctors out there who just prescribe medication without really thinking about what is most suitable for YOU. MP really take the time to find out what medication will give you the best results and that is what everyone wants and needs. . Dr Ash was very thorough and I was never made to feel that I was being dramatic about the effect my symptoms were having on me. Medical Prime made a huge difference for me and I will be ever grateful for their help in my menopausal journey.

Mr Anthony Antoniou

General Surgeon

My wife and I live in Nottinghamshire and I was referred urgently to Mr Antoniou at St Marks under the National Referral Scheme, as none of the Colorectal Consultants in the Midlands had experience of my problem or in treating it. We only waited a short time for the appointment and travelled down to London. Mr Antoniou called us into the consulting room personally and his warmth and demeanour immediately gave us total confidence in him and we knew I was in expert hands. He took time to explain the issue in detail and the proposed surgical procedure which we then discussed. Crucially, we were part of the discussion as opposed to be spoken at, which we were very grateful for. Two weeks later I was admitted to St Marks and went to Theatre where, again, Mr Antoniou was very pleasant and I felt at ease, despite the procedure I was about to undergo. When I awoke on the Ward post surgery, Mr Antoniou visited my wife and I and explained that all had gone well, again very reassuring. I have recently seen Mr Antoniou in Clinic for a 12 month check and, as ever, Mr Antoniou was friendly and welcoming and reassured us that all was well and that if I had future concerns, I should contact his secretary. I cannot commend or recommend Mr Antoniou highly enough for all aspects of the care and compassion he showed to my wife and I during a difficult time, especially being so far from home. We will be forever grateful.

Dr Sam Dawkins

Cardiologist

Dr Dawkins used the excellent images from the echocardiogram to show me and explain why and how good the results of his innovative surgery and procedures on 24/10/2024 are. Dr Dawkins is a brilliant cardiologist and an amazing thinker. I was faced with open heart surgery to replace two valves and excision of thickened and calcified heart muscle; a very risky operation with a long and possibly unsuccessful recovery. Instead Dr Dawkins devised the novel procedures he used. The success of this is totally down to his skill and the trouble he took. He also gathered and used the help of other experts to minimise risk and provide support. At the visit on 2/1/2026 Dr Dawkins also took the time and trouble to review and explain all my medication. He asked all about my current health and has adjusted my medication to benefit me and help me get fit again. He treated me like a person not just a heart! I hope he will be able to share his knowledge with other cardiologists and so save more people from open heart surgery and needless risk and pain. I cannot praise or thank Dr Dawkins enough.

Mr Irshad Shaikh

General Surgeon

I recently had an operation performed by Professor Shaikh. In the lead up, I had several discussions with him about the way forward; he was highly professional and very helpful. He explained the options to me very carefully, he gave advice and allowed time for me to ask questions which he answered fully. However, I was over weight and he explained very carefully the risks posed in surgery by the extra weight I was carrying. We decided a way forward together; we set a date for the operation, allowing time for me to lose some weight. I was very grateful to him for providing me with a clear focus and for his encouragement. By the date of the operation, I had lost a substantial amount of weight and the operation was performed successfully. I have a great deal to thank Professor Shaikh for - in addition to his surgical expertise, I am grateful for his advice, encouragement and support. I have the utmost confidence in him and I have no hesitation in recommending him, unreservedly.

Dr Joseph De Bono

Cardiologist

Before my 1st appointment with Dr. De Bono, I spent many months unable to get a diagnosis for my heart arythmia. I was very symptomatic and really anxious. Dr. De Bono finally diagnosed me and started me on a treatment plan. He took the time to explain everything to me and asnwered all my questions. He was very thorough and professional. I felt so much better after that appointment. As time went by, the treatment plan needed adapting and once again Dr. De Bono took the time to explain my options, one of which was an ablation. Again, I was very anxious but he took the time to explain all the pros and cons and risk factors. Fast forward, I had the ablation and the care I received was wonderful. I have recovered and now feel I have my life back.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I recently had surgery at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Newport and I honestly couldn’t fault the care I received. From start to finish, the staff were outstanding and made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm, reassuring, and well looked after. A special mention has to go to Esther and Megan R — they were absolutely fantastic during my stay. Both were incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely caring, and they really went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and supported. I can’t recommend the level of care highly enough. If anyone is considering having a procedure done privately, I would 100% recommend St. Joseph’s Hospital. The standard of care is excellent, and I felt in safe hands throughout.

Mr Muzaffar Ali Anwar

Vascular Surgeon

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am extremely pleased with both the treatment and the overall experience. From the first consultation to the final follow-up, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism and care. The surgeon demonstrated exceptional expertise in treating my varicose veins, clearly explaining each step of the procedure and making me feel completely at ease. The treatment itself was efficient, precise, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I truly appreciated the attentive approach, medical competence, and reassuring manner throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this surgeon to anyone seeking expert care and outstanding service.

Mourne Private Clinic

Dietitian, Imaging (Scans), + 3 more

We first went 4 years ago with our first son and had 4 scans. We are pregnant again and just had our final scan which would be our 3rd/4th this pregnancy and every time we go the ladies are just a pleasure. So kind, so thorough and just lovely lovely people. We had Lisa today asked she is so nice, patient and a lovely person. There is usually a young girl at reception who is lovely but today there was a different lady who possibly was having a bad day as she was not welcoming not friendly. Possibly didn’t want to be at work and she had the impression she couldn’t be bothered. But it wouldn’t stop me from going as everyone else is always great

Ovara Health

Acupuncture, Breastfeeding and Lactation Counsellor, + 12 more

When I first started looking for an endometriosis specialist and came across Mr Raza and all the positive reviews, I wondered: ‘can he really be that great?!’. The answer: yes he was. I had stage 4 DIE and a frozen pelvis. Mr Raza not only had the technical skill and expertise to deal with a complex case (with minimally invasive and cutting edge surgery) but also showed so much care and compassion, which gave me so much confidence and reassurance going into my surgery. The whole experience, including the recovery, has been so so positive and I would fully recommend him.

Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Gastroenterology, General Surgery

Greeted by friendly staff and seen at my appointment time. Following a basic health check, the procedure was explained in detail and I was taken to a treatment room for the Gastroscopy to begin. Throat spray was applied, blood pressure and oxygen levels were monitored throughout the procedure, then the camera was inserted via the mouth into the oesopagus and stomach. The process was painless but a little discomfort was felt and took no longer that 10 minutes in total. I was then taken to a recovery room and discussed the treatment findings.

Living Mind

Psychiatry

Living Mind provides a very high standard of care for ADHD treatment. The overall process was well organised, professional, and efficient, from initial assessment through to ongoing support. Communication was clear and timely, and the approach felt structured while still being personalised. The quality of care has had a clear positive impact on my daily functioning, and I would confidently recommend the clinic to others seeking specialist ADHD support.

One Ashford Hospital

I was very early for the appointment so was encouraged to go to cafe and assured I would be called when they were ready. The receptionist answered our questions with a friendly manner. The nurse was very attentive and explained the procedure whilst preparing the cannular. She even brought blankets as it was chilly in the room. The cardiologist gave time to explain the findings afterwards and advised regarding medication. Excellent service!

Wonderful experience at ACE, where my son has been attending OIT appointments. The centre is welcoming and full of books and toys to keep us entertained through the appointment. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, we feel very lucky to benefit from their experience. Most importantly, the treatment seems to be working!

Dr Iaisha Ali

Dermatologist

I needed an emergency appointment, Dr Ali managed to fit me in on the same day. It is a pleasure to see her and she knows my history well therefore I always feel reassured when I see her, I would highly recommend Dr Ali and her wonderful medical secretaries who are incredibly polite and professional at all times.

Mr Syed Shahid

Ophthalmologist

Mr Shahid was polite, professional and very efficient. I particularly appreciated his honesty in telling me the second eye cataract surgery would feel different but waiting until I was in the chair, so I didn’t fret or become anxious about it. He gave me confidence in and during the whole procedure.

Mr Tarek ElGamal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was made to feel understood & reassured at every step of the way. No question or worry was too small for Mr ElGamal and his team. Both pre & post surgery the care has been excellent. I’m so pleased at the speed of my recovery with thanks to the excellent surgery & post op support.
