I attended for spinal MRI. Unfortunately the technician was running late for which I was happy to wait but because of timing his communication to me was very poor. I was shown a room to change and left there without any guidance, I was then taken to the MRI machine and not spoken to really to ask if I was okay or to provide any reassurance. I don’t like MRI scans because can feel anxious within the machine. All it takes is a little bit of reassurance and acknowledgement for which I had none. Throughout the test the technician did not speak to me at all to ask if I was okay. I am not sure if this is normal but I found during the MRI it became quite hot which I have not experienced before. When the test was over he hurried me away from the machine without acknowledging my back could be hurting when getting up, which it was a little. He didn’t show me to the door so I had to ask if I was allowed to go and then left the room to change and go home. My review would be it is the smallest common curtesies that makes all the difference to a patient and this time I did not experience this at all. So much so I won’t be choosing to go to this venue for another investigation

Quality Dental : Horsham

Dentistry

I would not go back to this dental practice again.. I was booked in to have an extraction by a surgeon who I have since found out only comes in on a Tuesday. I was not that impressed with her bedside manner or the Nurse.. I was extremely traumatised and told them I was nervous. The extraction took a really long time and was not an easy removal and was extremely uncomfortable. I was shaking like a leaf and afterwards,, I was basically dismissed and sent away without being offered any form of empathy. I’ve since had terrible problems and I’m in a lot of pain four days later. I rang the dentist this morning. who then informed me that the surgeon only comes in once a week and I needed to go back to my own dentist, which is quite a drive away. I’m not impressed at all and would definitely not return. Also, the Dental practice is obviously undergoing some sort of renovation. The waiting room was a blank white room with no window extremely uninviting, no music not good when you are an extremely nervous patient waiting to have a horrible procedure done .not a good experience for me I’m afraid.

Good evening, Today I received the official confirmation that I have passed my viva, and as I promised, I wanted to share this happiness with you. I am writing with overwhelming joy, remembering your support and the help that I will never forget. Thank you, Doctor, from the bottom of my heart—you truly saved my life. Before contacting you, I felt I had nothing, yet in less than a year I was able to complete my thesis. It is something I could hardly believe. Thank you again for the kindness you have shown in helping someone like me. I am currently arranging my trip to Saudi Arabia next week on Wednesday, and I will return for graduation next summer. I would like to ask whether you recommend that I continue the medication. If so, my current prescription lasts month, I may need to request more, as I found that only the first medication I used is available in Saudi Arabia.

Moorfields Private Eye Hospital

Ophthalmology

My original appointment was with Mr Kamran Saha, as it was thought that I had a which Mr Saha confirmed it was not but rather a cyst. As this was not his expertise, he referred me to Miss Swan Kang who confirmed it was a cyst and arranged an excision. During the procedure Miss Kang noticed a second cyst next to the big one which she also removed and sent both off for biopsies. Amazingly 6 days later there are no visible signs of any incisions apart from some slight redness in the area. I am super happy with the results and grateful to Mr Saha for referring me to Miss Kang. I was also very impressed by Robyn for taking care of all the underlying preparations for both consultations and the minor op which took less than 2 days to complete!!! Kudos to Robyn for managing everything so swiftly and efficiently.

Dr. Arun Rajendran

Gastroenterologist

I went into The London Clinic for a Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy under general anaesthetic. I was quite anxious when I first arrived in the theatre ward as I had a migraine and also had to walk a long way and ascend a busy lift from my room to the theatre on the other side of the hospital and I had been fasting for 24 hours at that point. Dr Rajendran visited me before the anaesthetic and he was very patient and kind and spent a lot of time with me explaining what to expect, he made me feel calm and relaxed. After the procedure he visited me once I had woken up and explained what he had found. I then had a follow-up telephone call with him a few days later where he was again very patient and able to explain everything to me in great detail. It is very much appreciated. Thank you.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

The overall experience was excellent. As an NHS patient I felt I waited too long which affected my mental health and mobility, this wait has impacted on my recovery. I would have waited even longer if I hadn’t gone to my GP and asked for my operation to be escalated. The whole process took six months of physio initial NHS xray took a further 5 months to see the consultant then a further 4 and a half months for op. This has been a nightmare. I am however extremely appreciative of my operation and the treatment I have received during my stay at Hoarders. Also on the discharge sheet I was given a number to call for worries and questions once I got home this number was however not answered and my answer phone message was not called back.

I loved the day staff. Ikram and Sennecca treated me with such kindness and so much support. I unfortunately was discharged after a week as I have other issues that need addressing before I am able to continue the treatment. The night staff in my experience have not been very attentive to my distress. As nights are the hardest time for me this was quite a big issue for me. Dr Veale is great and really knows what he is talking about. The rooms feel like a hotel and the program is scary but excellent here. Food is another issue for me and the kitchen are very accommodating to needs but the general menu is very eclectic. Overall I would say this is a very good hospital and I've seen patients with real change here.

I was intrigued by the services offered, as they seemed too good to be true. I'm a mid-life woman, starting to worry more about my overall health and wellbeing but didn't want to burden the NHS with curiosity! I really just wanted to have an MOT, to spot any underlying issues or potential health concerns. I was really impressed with the whole set up - state of the art machines, beautiful and clean building - with the most relatable, down-to-earth and professional team of experts. I felt in safe hands, and I had all the advice, tests and support I needed to give me a 12 month clean bill of health but with some advice on how to improve and maintain my health and wellbeing. Highly recommended!

Mr Vishal Prasad

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Prasad for a lumbar microdiscectomy, after having two consultations with him beforehand. From the very first appointment, he explained everything clearly and took the time to listen to my concerns, which made me feel completely at ease. On the day of surgery, his calm and reassuring manner made a huge difference. The whole process was clearly communicated, and I felt confident I was in very safe hands. I’m already feeling so much better following the operation, which was only 9-days ago. Mr Prasad was not only highly professional but also incredibly kind. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering treatment — I couldn’t have asked for better care.

Mr Anantha Madhavan

General Surgeon

I had an inguinal hernia identified when I was taken by ambulance to the Royal Surrey Hospital where I was attended by Dr. Madhaven. It was agreed that the hernia needed urgent attention so I came under his care as a private patient. The procedure took place at Mount Alvernia Hospital. I felt totally confident in Dr. Madhaven. The operation was a complete success and after 8 weeks I have regained my strength. Not only has he the medical skills he also has an excellence manner in handling patients. I would thoroughly recommend Dr. Madhaven.

Mr Omar Mulla

ENT Surgeon

Dr Mulla listened... fortunately he is up to date on my particular, rather ambiguous, condition. I get the impression that he keeps up to date with latest developments and findings in his field of ENT. If only I had been able to see him 18 months ago, I would have been sorted in just one consultation. He is very personable, professional, friendly and efficent (by that I mean he dictated his letter to my GP in front of me before I left my appointment). This was a moment when you feel the NHS is at its best.

Mr Sachin Yallappa

Urologist

Mr Yallappa has a highly professional approach combined with a steady relaxed manner which quickly sets the patient at ease, making the process as stress free as possible. I felt completely confident in his care for my consultation and surgery. All matters were fully discussed and any questions were satisfactorily addressed. The surgery and recovery were perfectly successful. I can recommend Mr Sachin Yallappa to any potential patient.

Miss Dimitra Leivadiotou

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Miss Leivadiotou performed a reverse shoulder replacement on my left shoulder and the results are fantastic. Very little to no pain post operation and almost immediate relief from the nagging arthritic pain. 7 weeks on and I can’t believe the difference it’s made to my life. Thank you so much Miss Leivadiotou for your care, skill and kindness, your work has truly made a positive impact on my life. Lesley

Mr Lee David

Orthopaedic Surgeon

My last face to face visit was and hour or so before my op and a very brief but vague recollection of a conversation in recovery room. Perhaps a ward visit after may have been more appropriate as I was too drowsy to ask any particular questions or receive feedback from same. However that said Mr. David has always put me at ease with the whole procedure and I believe has done an excellent job, thank you.

Mr Nick Ohly

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I am extremely pleased with the consultation I had with Mr Ohly, at which I decided to opt for robotic surgery on my hip. I subsequently underwent a full hip replacement and am pleased to say that my recovery has gone very well and I am now - after 8 weeks - walking steadily without a stick and without arthritic pain.
