It all went very well. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The only thing I found time consuming and wasteful, of paper, was that I kept being asked about allergies, 3 times by 3 different people who recorded it on three different forms! This is despite it being on my medical records. I also found the wait of 3 hours a bit annoying, in for noon, Op, at 3.30 a bit annoying. However once started it all went well. and I was helpfully kept informed throughout by Mr Coombs. Emma was also comforting with her comments and assistance. The only thing I might change if I came in again is to have a light sedative with the epidural as it was very frustrating to want to change the position of your legs and feet and find that you can't for obvious reasons. Mr Coombs moved them for me but of course I could not feel the move! The two nurses that looked after me for the last hour or so up to discharge were very patient, caring, thoughtful and helpful, I wanted to get up and get home and they told me and showed me when I tried to get up that I was definitely not ready, and kindly told me to be patient - they were very good and I liked them both. All from Mr Coombs downwards made the process and outcome very satisfactory. I was up this morning walking the dog. Kind regards A.H.

Mr Robert Gleeson

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Mr Gleeson did a reconstruction ACL surgery on my left knee (previous ACL surgery was 12 years ago, and then re-tore that same ACL rock climbing). All my options, pros/cons, and risks were clearly explained, and it was clear that Mr Gleeson wanted what was best for me. I chose to have the reconstruction surgery, and felt safe and informed throughout the whole process. While I'm sure this is unique to my own circumstances, I found that: the pain post-surgery was very minimal when managed with medication, and my recovery was smooth and fast. As I write this review about 7 months later, I am back to cycling, running, and hiking. I wanted to regain functionality to live an active life (I'm no star athlete, but in my mid-30s and enjoy the outdoors). The muscle mass on my left side is still not quite a match for my right side, and I know a dedication to physical therapy/training could fix this. My goal was to get back to the level of being able to enjoy moderate activities that I was at before, and I have achieved that, thanks to Mr Gleeson, and my lovely physical therapist!

Rehubs

Health and Social Care, Psychology, + 1 more

I started seeing May, my wonderful therapist, after talking to the Rehubs team about the impact my addicted son was having on my health and well being. They recommended I speak with one of their addiction therapists. I was very sceptical at the start of the first session but soon realised that it was money well spent. May was a breath of fresh air, she knew from the outset what my issues were and my sessions with her were insightful and enlightening. She also gave me some very constructive and concrete techniques to help my deal with some of my day to day issues and she very much set me on the path to my own recovery. I was so pleased to have met May. She really is brilliant at her job. A great combination of empathy, telepathy, sympathy and most of all practical with advice that I could "easily" implement in my every day life. I recognise I still have some work to do but I am so grateful to May in her help with setting me on the right path. Thank you from all my heart.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Audiology, Cardiology, + 22 more

I had two day surgery appointments for cataract removal and lens implants, two weeks apart. The first appointment was very straightforward from walking through the door to post operative discharge. The second appointment was less straightforward: despite me being first on the day’s list there was a long wait before my pre-operative assessment. When I was being prepped before going into theatre, the atmosphere in the room was not calm and reassuring, unlike the first time. There was sometimes discomfort during the procedures of anaesthetic and application of the opthalmic speculum, the latter of which has left me with a markedly arched eyebrow on that side, which is only returning to normal after nearly two weeks. As a result I felt tense entering the theatre. Everyone in the theatre was calm and reassuring however, and I was quickly put at ease. I had a positive post operative experience before being allowed home.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

Four front teeth (old root canal treatment) replaced with a two implant bridge. Whole process clearly and patiently explained in a very friendly but professional manner and followed through as explained. As a nervous dental patient I was particularly impressed with the ease and remarkable effectiveness of the conscious sedation I was offered. During the normal short interval between surgery and final teeth, a temporary bridge is (instantly) fitted; these are effective but, by design, less sturdy. I cracked one on a nut and Vermillion were easily able to replace it as part of their service the same day with no inconvenience or fuss - very reassuring. My new final teeth fit well, feel and look natural, and bring a tremendous relief at not having to constantly worry or feel pain from my old ones. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Candover Clinic

Dental Care, Dermatology, + 19 more

Directions to the car park should be better, ie if you put Candover Clinic in the sat nav you can't get to the patient car park for MRI without going out and sitting in traffic to get around the other side of the hospital. It could also be clearer where MRI is on the map (eg circled). It was quite confusing whether I was in the right place as was given NHS forms (is a shared NHS facility). They also told me off for not reading a leaflet but I didn't get a leaflet. The lady who completed the procedure was excellent though. Before and afterwards I felt a bit more alone and confused than at other private procedures.

Ms Anastasia Rachmanidou

ENT Surgeon

Dr Rachmanidou is absolutely amazing. She is very knowledgeable and at the same time is very carring. I don't think I have seen another doctor in London who was as nice as her and took time to listen and advice what she thought was best for me whilst having such small kids at home. Surgery in my case seems to be a necessary thing in a future but she didn't push for it and actually suggested to see how we could manage this naturally for the time being as a breastfeeding mum. Absolutely love her and would recommend her to anyone.

Deia Health

General Practice (GP)

I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Lafina for helping me through a difficult period when I was dealing with persistent and painful headaches. From the very first visit, she took the time to listen carefully, ask the right questions, and thoroughly explore possible causes. Her thoughtful approach and genuine concern made all the difference. Thanks to her care and guidance, my headaches have improved significantly, and I feel like I have my life back. I truly appreciate her expertise, patience, and kindness—highly recommend!

London Gynaecology - Richmond

Obstetrics & Gynaecology

Amazing patient care. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. From the moment I arrived, the staff were warm, and professional. My consultant took the time to listen carefully, explain my options clearly, and answer all my questions with genuine care and expertise. The clinic itself was modern, comfortable, and very well organised. I left feeling informed, supported, and confident about my next steps. I would highly recommend London Gynaecology to anyone seeking compassionate and expert women’s health care.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Kelso

Dental Care, Dentistry

An excellent experience considering getting a tooth extraction . All of the staff were great . Efficient and caring and put me at ease . The extraction was tricky but confidently and expertly handled by Fiona and her assistant . I was provided with good instructions and medications for the aftercare and had no problems . I did have to wait longer than I wanted to get an appointment but it was holiday season and a specialist appointment . Well worth it and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.,

Dr Kirsten Mackay

Rheumatologist

Excellent consultation. Dr Mackay was so knowledgeable and caring. Throughout the meeting she involved me in the conversation and listened to my concerns. Dr Mackay was constantly checking details and records to ensure she had all the information required. To conclude she told me everything about my condition and what treatment plan was best for me. I felt better physically and and mentally. Thank you so much Dr Mackay.

Mr Samuel Rajaratnam

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had knee replacement surgery at the Cleveland Clinic with the distinguished Mr Sam Rajaratnam in late August. I am immensely grateful for the expert care and kindness I was shown. Mr Rajaratnam’s team were also excellent. I would highly recommend Mr Rajaratnam to any friends, family or acquaintances who would need a knee replacement - knowing they will have the best care possible.

Dr Shamil Yusuf

Cardiologist

I visited Dr Yusuf to get some clarity on a long-term irregular heartbeat. After a simple ECG he was able to explain the cause, further investigation and possible treatment. Dr Yusuf gave a very detailed but clear explanation for which I was very grateful and reassured. I would highly recommend Dr Yusuf for anyone needing thorough and clear investigation and advice.

Dr Punit Ramrakha

Cardiologist

My consultation was very thorough and professional. Dr Ramrakha listened to my explanation of my symptoms and explained what the possible causes could be. He arranged for several tests. Dr Ramrakha also writes a full and explanatory letter post consultation to both myself and the GP which is most helpful and reassuring.

Mr Neil Donnelly

ENT Surgeon

Mr Donnelly was very kind, calm and professional. He made my daughter feel reassured before her op and included her in the process. He really listened and took the time to explain everything. Her surgery was a complete success. We can’t recommend Mr Donnelly high enough. The whole process was fantastic.

Mr Ben Eddy

Urologist

I have been under the supervision of Mr. Ben Eddy for some two years now investigating Prostate Cancer. He has been an excellent communicator and given me confidence throughout my journey that we would find appropriate solutions in a step by step process. I cannot thank him enough. G. R.
