Dr Mark Gillett

Emergency Medicine Doctor, Sport & Exercise Medicine Doctor

I had the misfortune of seeing Dr Mark Gillett recently for a shoulder complaint. I had been in pain on and off for several months, and felt somewhat frightened about the prospect of being unable to resolve the issue, or having to resort to surgery. At my first appointment, Dr Gillett performed a cursory physical examination, asked me very few questions about the course of my treatment to date and seemed keen to get me out of the door as quickly as possible. His recommendation for an injection was made within about five minutes, and he provided very little explanation as to why. After an MRI scan I returned for a follow up appointment. Once more I found Dr Gillett to be rude and unsympathetic. I was eager to understand the nature of my MRI results and the course of treatment that Dr Gillett was recommending, but he seemed to treat my questions as an affront to his medical expertise. Far from assuaging my fears or clarifying my understanding, he treated my enquiries as if they were a nuisance. When I explained that I still do not understand what was actually wrong and why he was suggesting an injection, he became increasingly obnoxious, suggesting that I should simply accept his 'twenty five years of experience' and telling me that I had a very 'rigid' view of my treatment. I tried explaining again that I was simply trying to understand the course of action, and again was rebuffed curtly. I found his behaviour throughout deeply unsatisfactory, and he only added to my distress managing what is already a challenging and painful injury. I will not return to see him again and I will not recommend that anyone else does.

Nuffield Health Newcastle

General Surgery, Neurosurgery, + 6 more

I had a really positive experience staying at Nuffield Hospital. From admission to discharge, the staff were friendly, welcoming and kind. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, reassuring and helpful, which made a big difference during surgery and early recovery. Even when things were not perfect, such as not having a post-surgery bra in my exact size and sending me home in one that was a bit too big in the cups, the care and effort from the team never wavered. They handled everything with warmth, professionalism and good humour! Overall, I felt well looked after, respected and supported and I am very grateful to the staff who made what could have been a stressful experience feel calm and manageable. 💗

Dr Peysh Patel

Cardiologist

Dr Patel listened very carefully to my symptoms and concerns and immediately understood the problem. He had taken time to familiarise himself with my medical history which was very helpful. He explained everything carefully, clearly and in enough detail so that I understood what was happening at all times. He advised and expedited my clinical tests and fed back to me very promptly. This was very useful in helping me to make further decisions about my current medical treatment. I found Dr Patel to be incredibly professional, kind and understanding. I am extremely pleased with and thankful for the care I was given by him.

Mr Vijay Ramani

Urologist

I really struggle to put into words what I would like to say.words are not enough. Mr Ramani is an absolutely outstanding surgeon who has quite literally saved my life. His skill, compassion, and calm reassurance gave myself and my wife utter confidence at every stage. I’ll always be grateful for the exceptional care I have received and am eternally thankful that he chose medicine and surgery for his career all those years ago. I have had no problems with my recovery and can only praise him and his team “to the rafters.”Eternally grateful. Thankyou

HCA Healthcare UK London Bridge Hospital

Diagnostics & Testing, Haematology, + 11 more

Dr Georgiou was extremely kind and generous with his time, despite this being a second-opinion consultation. My uncle was diagnosed with advanced, stage IV malignancy, and Dr Georgiou approached the case with seriousness and care, without being dismissive or overlooking treatment options. He supported the appropriate treatment plan, and after four cycles my uncle is doing remarkably well. His clear explanations and compassionate attitude gave our family reassurance and confidence at a very difficult time.

Meliora Medical Group

Physiotherapy, Sports & Exercise Medicine

I recently visited Meliora Medical Facilities and was genuinely impressed. From the very first moment, I was welcomed by friendly, professional staff and a clean, well-organized environment. The level of expertise and experience they bring, combined with the care and respect they show to their patients, is truly top class. It is five-star service in every sense. I would highly recommend them, and this will definitely be my one and only medical group for any future rehabilitation or treatment.

Mr Shahbaz Malik

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was seen by Mr Malik for my knee arthritis. He planned surgery but for medical reasons it could not be carried out at the same hospital. Mr Malik transferred me to HCA Harborne Hospital and did the surgery there. He has been superb with his mannerism, care and explanation. I am around 5 months from surgery and can not thank him enough for all that he has done for me. I am walking pain free and getting my steps in and travelling without fear of knee giving way.

Sainsbury Wing or Wolfson Fertility Centre at Hammersmith Hospital

Dermatology, Endocrinology & Diabetes, + 9 more

Mr Saravelos and his team made us feel at such ease for our Frozen Embryo Transfer. He was so patient and helped talk through the procedure in a way I could understand. He kept me calm through the procedure, which previously have been a really painful experience for him. The Nurse Raj was also great and helpful and managed to get all our prescriptions done before the transfer so we didn’t have to wait around. Really great time and brilliant experience.

The Doctors Lounge Chalfont

General Practice (GP)

I think the Doctors Lounge is such a great personal investment. You are able to see a doctor quickly, they have all your notes in front of them and have excellent referal doctors should you need further support. I cannot recomend Dr. Nik Chopra and his team more highly. It also means you take pressure off your local GP who can then spend their time with patients who need to use the NHS service. Think outstanding service and value for money.

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

From our initial consultation to post delivery Dr Bhati has been kind, informative and caring. As someone who suffers from major health anxiety, I had my share of fears surrounding birth. Dr Bhati’s knowledge and confidence puts you at ease. Even though there’s been a last minute need for a c section, it was handled quickly and calmly and we welcomed our baby girl safely. Very greatful for the care we received.

Mr Fevzi Shakir

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Mr Shakir has repeatedly been professional, calm, and reassuring in all my appointments with him. He has answered all my questions in-depth, and explained all of my options in a clear and easy-to-understand way. He has repeatedly reassured me that I do not need to make decisions quickly, and given me as many choices as possible with regards to the treatment I receive.

Clearcut Physiotherapy Norbury

Hand Therapy, Physiotherapy, + 2 more

I’ve been seeing Syed Gillani for my post-ACL surgery rehab and I’m really happy with the service. He’s been incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout my recovery. He explains everything clearly and tailors the rehab to how I’m progressing, which has made a big difference. I’ve seen great results and would definitely recommend him.

Mr James Bedford

Plastic Surgeon

Mr Bedford was absolutely first rate, brilliant bedside manner, engendered confidence and trust, very easy to talk with, and technical superb. It could not have gone better and I would recommend Mr Bedford to anyone. He is amongst the best consultants we have had the fortune of receiving care from and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Lauren Colquhoun

General Practitioner

Dr Colquhoun is lovely and very thorough. She listened to me and empathised with how I was feeling which was refreshing. I appreciate my GP has limited time to talk to me at appointments, so it was good to have the time to talk and be listened to with a course of action being provided straight away.
