Mr Tev Aho

Urologist

I visited Tev Aho for a second opinion following my attendence at my local NHS hospital for urinary retention where I was advised that I would require long term catheterisation with little chance of successful surgery. Being a relatively fit 70 year old I found this prospect extremely disheartening and as a result set about challenging this prognosis. My research led me to the Cambridge Urology Partnership website where I was encouraged by the solutions that could be available to me and to the successes claimed by Tev and his colleagues through the HoLEP procedure to those with my symptoms. My first contact with Tev was immediately very positive and I was given confidence from the fact that he had no hesitation in recommending HoLEP for me and advising me that there was a 98% prospect of a successful outcome. He explained in a very clear manner what was involved in the process and answered all of my questions openly with all risks (albeit relately small in my case) fully explained. At the conclusion of that consultation I had no hesitation in agreeing to have the precedure which took place within three weeks. My precedure was carried out by Tev at the Nuffield Health Hospital in Cambridge where I received excellent care from staff. The procedure which was under general anaesthetic took less than an hour and I suffered no immediate post operative pain at all. Following an overnight stay I was discharged by Tev following a positive flow test in early afternoon. I am pleased to say that I have never looked back and after years of deteriorating flow and the recent urine retention I am now back to having a flow that I could only have dreamed of a year ago. In summary it is no exageration to say that my experience of having had the HoLEP procedure carried out by Tev has been almost life changing. He displays absolute professionalism at all times with a pleasant demeanour. He is thorough in explaining details and he inspires confidence through his detailed knowledge and his successful achievements. I hope never to have to meet him again but if need dictated he would be my number one choice!

Mr Shobhit Verma

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Paediatric Surgeon

We are extremely grateful to Mr. Shobith Verma and the entire orthopaedic team at Luton & Dunstable Hospital. My son was born with severe club foot in both feet, and his condition was very worrying from the beginning. His treatment started on the 5th day after his birth. Today, at just 2 years old, my son can walk, run, do all his daily activities, and has even started playing football. Seeing this progress feels like a miracle to us, and it has only been possible because of the timely involvement, dedication, and expertise of Mr. Verma. Mr. Verma not only treated our son but also guided us through every step, gave us strength, and supported us during one of the toughest times of our lives. His reassurance, encouragement, and commitment made a huge difference to our family. I would also like to sincerely thank every member of the team who took care of my son. From the reception staff to the clinical team, everyone was amazing—kind, friendly, supportive, and truly compassionate. Thank you, Mr. Verma, for your outstanding care, constant support, and encouragement. We will always be thankful for everything you have done for our son and our family.

Professor Jocelyn Brookes

Radiologist

I was a young mum of two little children and I couldn't stand on my legs without pain. I suffered from varicose veins and pelvic congestion. Every other doctor who I saw told me that should come back when my family was complete. Then somebody recommended Professor Brookes. He had a completely different approach. He immediately dealt with my varicose veins and pelvic congestion. I now am pain free and have slim legs. Professor Brookes changed my quality of life. Professor Brookes has a charming personality. He is warm, friendly and sympathetic. Medically he is the best in his field. If you are fortunate enough to see him in clinic on the NHS you will notice that he has a big que of patients that only want to see Professor Brookes. They don't want to see any other vascular doctor that's part of the team! Professor Brookes THANK YOU!

After my atrial fibrillation (AFib) diagnosis, I booked an appointment with Dr Davies at the Park Hospital. He explained the treatment options: medication, a cardioversion (an electrical reset of the heart), or an ablation. His manner and experience are second to none. He helped me understand the options and I decided upon the RF ablation using the new state of the art facility at the Park. Dr Davies and his brilliant team carried out the procedure and the ITU aftercare team were equally impressive. I’m very pleased to say it went well and heart is now back in normal sinus rhythm, and I’m expected to make a full recovery. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Dr Davies and everyone at the Park Hospital.

Consultant Review – Mr Chris O’Neill I attended a follow-up appointment with Mr Chris O’Neill at the Belfast Private Hospital following my recent hip surgery and was extremely pleased with the care I received. The consultation was thorough and reassuring. Mr O’Neill carefully examined my wound, assessed my leg movement, listened to my concerns, and clearly explained my progress and expected recovery timeline. I felt well informed and reassured that my recovery is progressing as it should. Mr O’Neill’s professionalism, kindness and calm manner were outstanding. I left the appointment feeling confident, supported and very grateful for the excellent care provided.

Very happy with the set up all round. Consultant amazingly helpful in comparison. He was extremely knowledgeable and very concerned . I liked the fact that he actually listened when I explained my problem. ( Its tedious even for me to hear so I can understand the need to switch off at times)...!...but obviously extremely painful ! The actual appointment with the consultant was about 30 minutes. He examined me and advised medication for immediately and perhaps in the future. Excellent man ,so nice . I felt at ease to speak about my pain . The receptionist was so kind and the nurses are angels. I would recommend highly. Thank you Spencer Wing. Mrs B J.P.

Mr Neil Modi

Ophthalmologist

I had been in quite a lot of discomfort and loss of vision in my left eye. Mr Modi explained what had happened following my lens replacement many years previously. I was nervous as I suffer from closed angle glaucoma and have had many visits to hospital due to raised pressures over the years. I worried that my pressures may raise after the laser treatment. Mr Modi explained the procedure and I felt more at ease. He checked on how I was feeling through the procedure. I was amazed that I could see clearly again within a few hours. My pressures didn’t raise and I have recovered well. I am very grateful to Mr Modi.

Mr Abdelrahman was so kind and understanding of my condition from the get go. He was extremely clear in his diagnosis and what I would be having done with my operation. He was kind and caring in his manner and you can tell he really enjoys his job and helping people. The whole Team at Queens Burton Hospital have been so supportive and helpful with me, putting my mind at ease and it has been a smooth recovery process, I am healing well but know they will be there for me if I need them until my next appt in 6 months time.

The Dental Clinic Portishead

Dentistry

It was an emergency appointment to deal with an infected tooth. All the staff were friendly and sympathetic and the dentist dealt with my problem, promptly and efficiently. The state of my tooth was examined and X-rayed and I was given the best options for treating it. I agreed my tooth should be extracted and I was given clear instructions on the post procedure care. The next day the receptionist rang me to ask if I was OK and to remind me I could contact the practice if I had any queries or after effects.

Dr Anastasia Mermigka

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I had an excellent experience. The gynecological examination was completely painless, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. I had a smear test, an ultrasound scan, and a full fertility assessment, and everything was explained clearly and calmly throughout the appointment. I never felt rushed, and I felt truly listened to. The approach was both professional and kind, which made a big difference. I left feeling very satisfied and confident in the care I received. I would highly recommend her.

᠎ Matthew Allsop

Matthew has been my husband and my audiologist for the last 15 years. Throughout that time he has been unfailingly helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and always happy to spend time ensuring that the best possible solution is achieved according to our individual needs. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he is very caring and thoughtful in his professional manner. He is what I would call a true professional. My last visit to him was carried out to his normal excellent standard. Anne H

Dr Tristan Ramcharan

Cardiologist, Paediatrician

DR Tristan was brilliant with our son. He explained everything very clearly so that we both could understand. He was patient and responsive. He was able to give us an answer and explanation at the appppointment and all the tests were done there and then. This helped with all the worry. The appointment was booked quickly and very responsive to email. I would definitely recommend having the understanding around dysatonia and children who do sport was amazing. We both felt listened too

Dr Kapur was incredibly informative and really gave my daughter a full understanding of the products being prescribed, why they were being prescribed, how they worked, what to avoid and how she should manage her skin regime going forward. We left feeling far more educated on dermatology especially in relation to teenage hormonal skin. The products she advised were inexpensive and the routine she now has to follow far easier to manage. Thank you.

The London Clinic

Vast majority of the people were super friendly and made my hospital stay very comfortable. Hospital was clean and everyone was extremely professional. I did get the feeling though that you get rushed a bit when it gets to recovery and need to get going post-surgery which is not ideal as sometimes you are just not feeling fit enough or ready to go home straight away, especially after general anaesthesia. Overall extremely positive experience.

Experts in Skin and Hair

Dermatology

My whole experience at "Experts in Skin and Hair" has been positive. Dr Pallavi Gupta has been really kind and has explained everything very clearly. She completely understands the anxiety you might have, and reassures you at each step along the way. She made sure that my procedure was carried out as soon as possible, to give me peace of mind. The communications from her team have also been good.
