Dr Shalini Chawla

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Miss Shalini Chawla highly enough. After a long awaited pregnancy following five years of IVF, this journey meant everything to us. At my 28 weeks scan we were told we were expecting a large baby, and given that I am 45 and this was my first pregnancy, we knew we wanted one dedicated consultant to coordinate and oversee our care. For that reason, we decided to go private. After meeting several obstetricians, it was immediately clear that Miss Chawla was the right choice. From our very first appointment, she was personable, empathetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and instantly put a set ease. No question was over too small or silly, and she made herself available to us 24/7, which was invaluable during section anxious time. Miss Chawla got to work straight away. During her initial assessment, she identified the possible early stages of preeclampsia, arranged all the appropriate blood tests and scans promptly, and began planning ahead, including scheduling a potential delivery date. Her organization and forward planning meant that we never had to worry - everything was taken care of. Her communication skills are truly second to none. She kept us updated daily, even while she was on holiday, often checking in by text to reassure us and explain us the next steps. When my water is broke unexpectedly at 33 weeks, all plans changed. Despite the situation being frightening and stressful, Miss Shalini Chawla was immediately on hand, overseeing every aspect of my care and leading the team through an emergency cesarean section. Throughout it all, I had complete confidence that she would deliver our baby safely and she did. Her care did not stop after delivery. Her after care has been exceptional, checking in daily and continuing to do so even three weeks later. That level of dedication, compassion, and commitment is rare. Miss Chawla is an outstanding obstetrician, and I will be forever grateful for the care she provided. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional maternity care.

Mentis Clinic

Psychiatry, Psychology

I had a consultant review with Dr Shaikh for the re-initiation and titration of medication for a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis. I chose Mentis Clinic as it was the most affordable option I found during my research, particularly considering that their service includes consultant review, medication titration appointments, prescriptions, and a shared care agreement. My previous notes were reviewed promptly, and I was offered an initial consultant appointment within a week, followed by a titration appointment the following week. Dr Shaikh was very attentive and took the time to understand my circumstances and reasons for seeking re-initiation and titration of medication. There was no waiting list, which meant I was seen extremely quickly. The pharmacy also handled my prescription efficiently, with medication delivered in a timely manner. After the initial consultant review, I received my clinic letter very quickly and was given the opportunity to request amendments, which were dealt with promptly. I was provided with comprehensive information about medication options and was also given a letter of support for education and employment without even having to request one, which was something I genuinely needed. I am extremely satisfied with the service I have received from Mentis Clinic and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking assessment or ongoing care for ADHD.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

I've had a really good experience of RTN. I was referred from my GP on 31/07/25 Got message to complete questionnaires within 24 hours of them recieving referral. Got my assessment booked and completed 13/11/2025 (date I picked) Had the second stage on 29/01/2026 to discuss diagnostic outcome and to discuss next steps. Really helpful, obviously could go down the medication path but was given some really helpful advice on support groups and what GPs can offer in addition or standalone. Really helped discuss and give me an understanding and made me feel valid, great rapport with both video meetings, made me feel comfortable and at ease. Please note that there was just over 8 weeks between first and second appointment (xmas period too) There is approx 8 weeks wait for diagnostic report and 12 weeks wait for medication appointment. But they inform you of this and I've had a really good experience with them.

UK Vein Clinic - Manchester

Vascular Surgery

After trying to get my varicose veins sorted for years, (and unfortunately them getting worse over those years) I finally decided to get treatment from UK Vein Clinic in Manchester. I have had both legs treated using both ablation and foam therapy. The whole process was fantastic. I was treated so kindly by my Dr and the lovely nurses. They explained everything and took great care of me, ensuring I was comfortable. The process was very quick and I felt little discomfort. I was informed of everything happening and lots of aftercare tips. I am so glad that I chose UK Vein Clinic for treatment, their care has been fantastic right from booking a consultation to now, just after treatment. I’m still in my stockings but I am looking forward to the progress over the next few months. Thank you so much.

Kidswell Health

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Endocrinology & Diabetes, + 3 more

I can’t recommend Debra highly enough as a physio. I had physio for my middle child 5 years ago with Debra and again with my now 10 month old baby. Debra is calm, patient, and so knowledgeable, which instantly put both me and my baby at ease. She has a wonderful way of engaging with babies, turning each session into something that feels more like play than therapy, while still being incredibly effective. She always takes the time to explain what she’s doing and how we can support our baby’s progress at home, which has been so reassuring as a parent. We’ve always seen such positive progress under her care, and I’m so grateful to have had her support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Debra to any parent looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy paediatric physio.

Daleswood Health

Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, General Practice (GP)

Daleswood Health is like a breath of fresh air in the midst of health services in the UK. My GP tries to the best they can but frankly they just cannot be flexible and I'd spend visits trying to to fit in their calendar, leaving me waiting for a rushed 10 minute appointment only to then refer me somewhere else. Something had to change. I'm lucky enough that I can spend a little to get a great service and Daleswood Health really deliver exceptional service. My recent visit was for a mole removal. In and out within 50 minutes and the mole had been removed, fantastic service from Dr Oliver Denton and also not forgetting Mary on reception. So glad I've found them. Definitely my go to for health services and fully recommended from me.

Skylight Psychiatry

Psychiatry

Communication from all staff was grand - support teams, and therapists/psychiatrists. Little long on the wait time beyond what expectations were set. Wouldn't say Skylight were at fault here, more suffering from the success of the Right to Choose program. Felt the ADOS portion was poor, the process felt infantilising and the member of staff ran the second half like a therapy session - I didn't need reassuring, I wanted to express XYZ thoughts and feelings that led me to explore a diagnosis. Combined ADHD/autism session was exactly what I felt was needed with regards to the above and the member of staff was sympathetic but handled me through the process while bringing out the thoughts and feelings I'd had up to this point.

Dr. Omer Ahmad

Gastroenterologist

During consultations, Dr. Ahmad patiently and kindly listened to my symptoms, provided explanations regarding potential causes and created a clear investigation plan. He also dealt patiently with all my questions (they were plenty!). Regarding procedures, so far have I seen him for colonoscopy which was arranged promptly. It went smoothly and Dr. Ahmad found one polyp which could have easily been missed. At the times when one's feeling unwell, and just wants to get better, the patience, reassurance and empathy really make a huge difference. This is precisely why, apart from his great expertise, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Ahmad.

Mr Iain McLaughlin-Symon

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I feel I have received exceptional care. My broken wrist was very slightly displaced and after a thorough review and discussion conservative management was agreed , which has certainly been the correct decision for me. I cannot thank Mr McLaughlin-Symon enough for his advice, regular reviews and general support. I felt very well informed and understood why we were pursuing the course of action agreed but also what could be done in the event the healing process did not proceed as desired. Fortunately it did and my wrist is in great shape.

Mr Brendan Gallagher

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am writing this as an NHS patient and I can’t speak highly enough of the care, kindness and consideration that I received from the moment I arrived at the hospital. Mr Gallagher was thorough, clear in explaining the treatment options available and their potential benefits and drawbacks. He gave me time to ask questions which he answered patiently and with clarity. I feel confident that if I have any concerns or worries I will be heard and I know that I can ask advice at any point.

Mr Graeme Nicol

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I had two total hip replacements - the first in July 2025 and the second in October 2025. Graeme Nicol carried out both procedures at King’s Park Hospital in Stirling, using the anterior approach. Mr Nicol is an exceptionally skilled and highly professional surgeon with a warm, calm and reassuring manner. I am absolutely delighted with the results, and my postoperative recovery has been very good. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Pure Sports Medicine - St Paul's

Nutrition, Osteopathy, + 4 more

After a frustrating year with an ankle injury sustained playing football, seeing Alex at PSM has been great. Alex provided a detailed analysis of my gait and took a 3D scan of my foot to create orthoses customised to me. He also clearly explained what was going on with my ankle and how it can get better, having done a number of tests to pinpoint the issue. Highly recommend Alex for anyone struggling with a foot-related sports injury.

Mr Sarmad Kazzaz

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I recently underwent a C6/7 disc replacement with Mr Kazzaz, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the first consultation, he was incredibly thorough in explaining the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes. His professionalism and expertise put me immediately at ease during a stressful time. My procedure went flawlessly, and the follow-up care was excellent. Highly recommend for anyone needing spinal surgery.

The Coriel Clinic

Dermatology, Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology), + 7 more

I am very pleased with the service I have had from everyone at Coriel Clinic.  Mr Wilkinson and his surgical team have done a wonderful operation on my foot, and I had hardly any pain afterwards.  I'm looking forward to organising to have my other foot operated on - in the autumn. The reception team are all so friendly and welcoming, and it's really nice to have such pleasant people to chat to. Thank you for all or your care.

Ms Alison Luther

General Surgeon

I recently had an appointment with Miss Luther, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, she was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease. Her warm demeanor and attentive approach really stood out. She took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and knowledgeable physician.
