The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

I was referred to the Horder Centre for hip surgery as an NHS patient and the difference between that experience and my experiences in NHS hospitals couldn't have been more different. As it turned out, I also had two brief stays in an NHS hospital at around the same time, and experiencing a busy trauma ward in the Royal Victoria hospital in Brighton was pretty terrible. Unusually, I ended up having to have two operations in Crowborough on the same hip, so I was there for several days in all, and though no one really wants to be in hospital they do make every effort to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You get a single room with a TV (Freeview) and your own en-suite bathroom and fresh towels are brought every day. For a start, the staffing levels were brilliant. Someone was always on hand if I needed pain relief or anything else for that mattter. For every staff shiftI was allocated a care worker and a nurse, all of whom were absolutely lovely. They will help you with anything including a bed-wash or shower and if you have any questions they can't answer themselves they will find someone who can. I was regularly offered pain medication and if I felt I needed some in between rounds I had only to ring the bell beside my bed and I was usually able to have it. The food is good and plentiful and the menu choices provide plenty of variety. The staff who bring round the food as well as a trolley offering hot drinks or fruit juice are cheerful and friendly as well as punctual. Even the housekeeping staff were lovely. Although I'm sure all the staff were busy (for example, the care assistants take care of 6 patients on each shift), no one ever seemed to be under too much pressure and they always had time for a chat. They will arrange transport two and from the hospital if you need it, whether in an ambulance or by car, and even the drivers love working there. Some of the staff I met have worked there for many years, which speaks for itself. If I were referred to the Horder Centre rather than an NHS hospital or further surgery at any point I would feel confident that I would be well taken care of.

London Heart Centre

Cardiology

Outstanding Cardiologist – Exceptional Care I cannot thank Dr. Nikolaos Papageorgiou enough for his exceptional care and expertise. He has been looking after my father for several years, and more recently, I have also had the privilege of being under his care. His professionalism, depth of knowledge, and genuine compassion stand out from the very first consultation. Dr. Nikolaos Papageorgiou takes the time to listen carefully, explain things clearly, and ensure we fully understood our conditions and treatment options. He combines a reassuring and compassionate manner with a meticulous, evidence-based approach to cardiology, which inspires complete confidence. Thanks to his dedication and guidance, my father’s heart condition is managed well, and my own concerns were addressed swiftly and effectively. It’s rare to find a doctor who is both incredibly skilled and genuinely kind — Dr. Nikolaos Papageorgiou embodies both. We are truly grateful for his continued care and would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Nikolaos Papageorgiou as a first-class cardiologist in London. His dedication and care have made a real difference to our family’s health and peace of mind.

Mr Chukwuemeka Okaro

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I recently had a laparoscopy with Mr Okaro and I couldn't be more grateful for the care I received. From the very beginning Mr Okaro was very professional,kind and took the time to explain everything clearly which immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and experience . The procedure itself went very well. Mr Okaro not only removed my fallopian tube as I was referred for but also treated my endometriosis at the same time. After the surgery he was patient and happy to answer any questions which I truly appreciate. I feel very fortunate to have been under his care and I would happily return to him for any future gynae concerns. I would highly recommend Mr Okaro to friends and family without a doubt. I also want to mention Justina who was my first point of contact before I made the decision to see Mr Okaro. Justina gave me the reassurance and explained everything I needed to know. Both Mr Okaro and Justina made the whole experience so much easier and im very thankful for their support.

Ringway Dental

Dentistry

My initial appointment was to have a checkup to explore the feasibility of having veneers placing over my existing top row of front teeth. I was so impressed with everything that was done from the first visit to the finl fitting visit. Everything that was done was explained to me in fine detail. The owner of the practice, Stephen Dodd, is the ultimate professional. I guess you would call him a Supreme Dental Technician!!! His staff were super friendly and went out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I was so so pleased with the end result of visits and I would highly recommend the prctice.

I was so pleased when it became necessary to have knee replacement surgery, I was able to have Mr. Krkovic. His aura of complete competence, was very calming at a stressful time. He explained everything in a way I could understand, and answered every question that I asked. Needless to say, the operation went very well, and after several weeks of physio, great progress is being made. I was discharged by him last week, and would take this opportunity to thank him most sincerely, and send kindest regards for the future. Caroline S. (Mrs)

It's a rollercoaster. It's not easy and you can expect to be up and down constantly within each day but you have to remember why you are here and embrace your chance to recover. Be where you are meant to be on time, be open minded but filter out issues that you not yours . Don't expect the timetable to always be correct. Food is not great and everyone's feelings, behaviours and attitudes fluctuate. Be honest with yourself and others. Learn to stay calm, be considerate and kind.

Check4Cancer

Oncology, Diagnostics & Testing

I was welcomed into the unit and called for my appointment within a few minutes of my arrival. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish; easy to book, good communication leading up to my appointment, friendly welcome, seen within minutes of arriving, treated with discretion and respect at all times. I never felt rushed and the consultant took the time to answer my questions and discuss any concerns I had. I recommend Check4Cancer.

Dr Finbar's Skin Clinic

Dermatology

Excellent experience. I developed a very angry rash on my lower face. Unable to obtain a dermatologist appointment for diagnosis and treatment, I found Dr Finbar’s clinic during an online search. I met with Dr Christina soon afterwards. She diagnosed the problem as perioral dermatitis and provided me with a treatment plan. My skin has completely healed and I am deeply grateful to the practice. I wish you ongoing success. Siobhan

All the doctors, psychiatric nurses and reception team are outstanding. It's a small thing, but I wish that there was hand cream supplied in the toilets. This may not be the "fault" of The London Psychiatry Centre as they do not own the building, but they could put in a request to the appropriate people. I spend thousands of pounds there so it would be a small but appreciated gesture. Even my hair dressing salon supplies hand cream!

Mr Christopher Brew

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Prior to my knee replacement surgery I wasn’t able to walk or stand for any length of time. Now my right knee has been fine I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and am looking forward to my left knee replacement. For anyone suffering I would say go for it - yes it’s painful, yes you have to work at your recovery but you’ll get your life back - without the surgery it’s only likely to get worse.

Mr Sudhir Rao

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Staff were very attentive and caring immediately after my procedure, during the evening, and the following day. They checked on my progress and administered pain relief throughout the day. However , on my second night the staff were busy with other patients, and I hardly saw any of them. I actually had to press the call button about 10 times, and shout out for help to get me to the toilet.

Mr Sven Putnis

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I was resigned to never being able to walk without aids and pain due to arthritis, but in the 6 weeks since Mr Sven Putnis injected Arthrosamid into my knees, the excruciating pain vanished overnight. I am now walking without any sticks, and have started cycling again. At 78 years old, I have a new lease of life. Mr Putnis is so kind and caring.

Mr Tom Symes

Orthopaedic Surgeon

It was really good to meet Mr Symes.. I hah had to choose someone but as soon as I met him I knew I had made the right choice. He was totally reassuring and listened. He examined me and knew I must be in pain. He was kind and patient but explained the risks and procedures and that he would try to get it done ASAP.

Mr Ravi Mallina

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have chosen Mr Mallina for my carpal tunnels, he was friendly and professional. He explained me my options and guide me through steps of the surgery. I couldn’t be more happy about the result and overall process . Will definitely recommend him and come back for surgery on a second hand.
