Mr Jamie Griffiths

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Griffiths was extremely informative during the initial consultation and very responsive to my questions which made it easy for me to make the decision to go ahead with the hip replacement and the type to go for with minimum invasive surgery. He instilled confidence from the outset. The only aspect which caused me some degree of anxiety was not knowing what type of anaesthesia to choose for the procedure, until just before the operation ( the first in my medical history). JG had indeed advised that this would be the case but, during the months leading up to the op, I spoke with a number of friends/relations who relayed a range of experiences and a number giving their advice. A few had had GA and more went the local epidural route, although one of the latter had experienced far too much consciousness in terms of what was going on. I had read up about both and the various pros and cons ( info provided very helpful in this regard) and came along on the day with an open mind to confer with the anaesthetist, complete with my music and earphones if needed. In fact, after speaking with him it was easy to choose to go the local anaesthesia route and he put my mind at rest that he could sedate me so that I would not be aware of the procedure. I never finished listening to the first track of my music playlist ( I made sure I didn't have it on shuffle - my younger brother did for his hip replacement only to randomly get the track "the first cut is the deepest" to listen to at the start!!) I came round in recovery and all was complete. In some ways I would have liked to have had an early discussion with the anaesthetist so that I had made my decision ahead of the procedure rather than pondering it for so long. However that is a small negative compared to the outcome of the hip replacement with which I am extremely pleased. I had no leg swelling to speak of, very manageable pain, off crutches in 10 days and yesterday after 6 weeks walked some 11km mostly cross country. ( Walking distance had been the major problem instigating my hip replacement as that/hiking is an important part of my life). This has far exceeded my expectations and I am looking forwards to getting back on the tennis doubles court after a further 6 weeks of exercising and physio. If and when the other hip needs doing, I would have no hesitation in returning to Mr Griffiths again. Many thanks to him and the team.

London Trusted Therapy Harley Street

I spent years dealing with anxiety and depression, convincing myself I didn't need therapy - partly due to the stigma around mental health, especially in my industry. By the time I reached out to Dr Olena, my anxiety was affecting my ability to do presentations and travel for work, things that were essential to my role in finance. Working with Dr Olena has been transformative. She used a combination of approaches tailored to what I needed - CBT and existential therapy initially helped me tackle my anxiety head-on. Within months, I was back to delivering presentations confidently and travelling for business again, things I'd been avoiding for far too long. For my depression, we've taken a different approach, incorporating DBT alongside existential therapy. Whilst this remains a work in progress, I'm in a significantly better place than when I started. Dr Olena helped me understand that therapy isn't about 'fixing' everything overnight - it's about having the right tools and support to navigate life's challenges. I only wish I'd overcome my reservations about therapy sooner. If you're in a demanding professional environment and struggling, I can't recommend Dr Olena highly enough. Her approach is practical, insightful, and genuinely effective."

Meadows & Wood Hearing Care - Worle

Audiology, Diagnostics & Testing

My hearing care assistant Claire was brilliant. I only made the appointment because I was spending New Year in the area from London and still had muffled hearing despite being under treatment for wax removal in both ears. I had already gone down the local NHS route, which uses only irrigation, to no effect and the private (Specsavers) route, which uses only micro-suction, with limited success after several visits. So I was delighted that with just one treatment of about twenty minutes at Meadows and Wood my ears were completely clear. Claire used both methods in appropriate combination to get the result I wanted. She was very pleasant, friendly and extremely professional and fully answered any questions I had. She was also careful to keep me informed of what she was doing at every point of the treatment whilst ensuring that there was no pain or discomfort. I would unhesitatingly recommend Meadows and Wood to anybody. The standard of treatment I received was so high that it might well be worth making the trip from London the next time I need their services!

Midland Eye

Ophthalmology

The cataract in my right eye, which had been quite noticeable, was operated on in the second week of November this year. The less advanced cataract in the left eye was dealt with a fortnight later. My second eye is still settling in, but my surgeon, Mr Park, appears to have produced an excellent overall outcome for me. Having discussed the options with Mr Park, I chose to have a lens in my right (dominant) eye which enables me to see at distance, whilst for the left, I have one which is more suited to closer work. I may need reading glasses for really close work, but using my computer screen presents no problem. Asking questions was encouraged and all queries were dealt with clearly. The staff, and particularly the opthalmic technicians, obviously knew what they needed to do in support of the surgical procedures and all was handled very efficiently. Special thanks to Nurse Debbie who was looking after me, a somewhat anxious patient, before and after the two operations.

I was going to e mail anyway to pass on my thanks so it’s nice to be able to leave a review. How lovely all the staff were that I met on NY eve. Dr Aziz was amazing! What a kind, considerate, empathetic and professional individual. I felt really unwell that day and concerned about some test results. She was so thorough, talked everything through with me in such a kind and understanding way. I left feeling so reassured. I want to thank the two lovely ladies on reception for helping with a couple of issues, a lovely lady who advised about which tests/appointments to approach first and another lovely lady who took my blood tests. I am sorry I did not get any names. But I want to say a huge thank you to all five individuals I met that day. You really helped me so very much. Five star rating all round from me! Happy New Year all.

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

All professionals on all levels, be it administration, psychiatrists, health care professionals etc, have all been extremely empathetic, kind, respectful and efficient. I felt safe and able to trust all members of staff during all interactions I've had. Sometimes organisation wasn't always perfect such as informant questionnaires seemingly getting lost and causing delays and my assessment being double booked requiring a last minute rescheduling, but any problems were dealt with efficiently.

Mr Matthew Oakley

Orthopaedic Surgeon

This is more a comment about the Nuffield Hospital than about Mr Oakley. I did not find the ward doctor very communicative. For example, my prescription eye drops, which I dispense myself as and when necessary, were whisked away and put in a medicine safe despite my attempt to explain how I use them. Fortunately I had some more in my coat pocket, so this did not present any problems, but it would have been a nuisance to have to call a nurse every time I wanted to insert them.

Dr Mohamed Otify

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Absolutely fantastic care from Mr Oitfy and his team.I am so grateful for the first class Healthcare treatment.Mr Oitfy was very calm and professional in his manner and approach as my care was quite complex,but he reassured me no end as I was very nervous,but he gave me the courage to go through the operation with so much care and understanding.Throughout all of my life with Endometriosis this was the first I felt listen too,and will be eternally grateful.

Optegra Eye Hospital Hampshire

Ophthalmology

Firstly… Happy New Year to all your team - it certainly has been for me. The whole process was absolutely excellent, and in particular the skill of the Surgeon was exceptional - Mr. Javier Bardavio, I was told via doctify.com before arriving. I can’t speak highly enough about the service, communication and treatment I received. Sincere thanks Optegra at Whiteley Ron (Cataract removal and Intra-Ocular lens fitted to right eye.)

Unblocked Thinking

Coaching

I had a set of ADHD/Autism coaching sessions with Jo, and she was consistently supportive and understanding throughout. She helped me talk about how hard I find things without shame, which felt incredibly important. Together we made and implemented a plan that was realistic and achievable rather than overwhelming. I left feeling understood, supported, and much more positive about moving forward.

Mr Sivan Sivaloganathan

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Sivaloganathan has been a been a breath of fresh air when dealing with a longstanding problem with my knee. He understood the impact it was having on my life and quickly came up with a plan to replace my knee. He explained his proposed treatment in a way that gave me a full understanding of the procedure and allowed me to make an informed to decision to proceed with the surgery.

Ms Miriam Kate Green

Physiotherapist

Miriam was so professional and informative, I felt very comfortable during the whole appointment. I initially went in not knowing how to navigate my way through postpartum feeling very disconnected from my body after my emergency c section. Now thanks to Miriam I have the answers to why I feel disconnected and a plan how to get back to me feel like me again. Thank you so much

Mr Akash Patel

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I rate Mr Patel as a top surgeon. His care and attention to detail is excellent, and the journey from referral to having received my much needed surgery, superb . I have undergone a successful complete left knee replacement surgery on the 5th November 2025. Mr Patel has hugely improved my quality of life, by giving me back my mobility . I highly recommend him.

Mr Delukshan Rajah

He provided lots of information about my condition and took time to answer all my questions. I realised when I left I had not asked about work.

“I’ve visited Nuffield Hospital on several occasions and have had procedures there. The experience has always been excellent. Everything runs very efficiently, and all the staff — from the car park team, nurses, receptionists to the consultants — are friendly, professional, and supportive. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
