Mr Ian Hunt

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

From when I first met Mr Hunt I asked him not to explain things in medical terms and just tell me as it is .Mr Hunt did just that in a very explanatory way which I totally understood..His manner is and was direct,honest and sincere.On the initial consultation when I was told I had cancer,I could not have asked for a more honest explanation of my condition.MrHunt explained different ways to tackle the problem,and I said I will go with whatever he decides is the best way.Straight away Mr Hunt explained to me what he would like to do and there and then started a plan of action.During that meeting I asked him about the diagnosis and what the future treatments may have in store for me,Mr Hunt immediately said that the procedures I would have before the operation and the operation itself ,he was looking for me to be cured,this was something that I never in my wildest dreams thought I would hear. Yesterday I went for my post op consultation with Mr Hunt and his team and he told me that the operation had been a success and the X-rays showed that there was no signs of cancer.Mr Hunt offered great comfort to me and when I had got my self together explained the check ups I would have over the next 5 years. Not just because of the result I had but I found Mr Hunt as a totally honest, genuine, caring, professional,understanding, kind,empathetic,and knowledgeable person and I could not be more grateful to him and his team for looking after me

One Ashford Hospital

Dermatology, Pain Management, + 21 more

I visited the hospital to see an orthopaedic surgeon after having a fall at work and damaging my knee. I have had issue with it since the accident I suffered at work.I was advised to lodge a claim with my employers insurance. This I did because of the problems I am having with my knee. I was sent to see this gentleman so he could assess the damage to my knee. I was treated as if I was only there because I was lodging a claim and to have recompense for the damage I suffered and still am. He seemed very abrupt and I felt as though I was cross examined over the form I had filled in regarding my injury. I left the room feeling like I had done something extremely bad and wrong. I have never had to go through this scenario and very much hope not to have to go through another. I am a patient who has an injury that I am advised my a consultant needs an operation yet I was treated though I was feigning injury. I do not feel valued having attend at the one hospital.

Cleveland Clinic Moorgate Outpatient Centre

Imaging (Scans), Cardiology, + 8 more

It was OK. Sorry this system doesn't allow me to write why I went there and therefore wastes my time! I was there for a Pre op assessment. My Op is 9 Feb 2026 under Dr Panos Gikas. I asked him if I could attend this clinic as it is nearer where I live. The. appointment was alright. The only issue I had was that when it came to having a blood test, they insisted that I had to have 2 separate ones in each arm? I get blood tests regularly as I have a long term condition. The first one was relatively pain free which was performed by Isabella. The second was performed by Riggs(?) and was unneccessarily painful due to him holding down the needle when it was in my arm. I was not happy about that. I did not understand the reason for the second blood test, when one is usually fine and if more blood is required, then usually another vial is attached as necessary.

St Joseph’s Hospital

Physiotherapy, Audiology, + 22 more

I had a meniscal tear repair on 20th January. I am really disappointed and dismayed with the conflicting advice I was given regarding physiotherapy. An hour prior to surgery, Brad the physio told me I would be fully weight bearing after the operation. After the surgery a different physio told me I could not weight bear for three weeks and had me up and about practising walking on crutches. She also put a leg brace on my leg which was locked. I wasn't told to unlock it. Therefore for 2 weeks post surgery I wasn't weight bearing and movement in my knee was restricted totally. Today I had my stitches out and my first physio session. Physio told me I should have been 50% weight bearing straight away and that my leg brace should have been unlocked to allow some movement. So three conflicting pieces of advice. I am really unhappy.

HMT Sancta Maria Hospital

General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, + 19 more

I have recently had cosmetic surgery at Sancta Maria and i genuinely would not want to go anywhere else…. I may be biased as I work at the hospital but for me regardless of who I was the staff were very professional and gave outstanding care. I always watch how every staff members provide this incredible service to other members of the public but honestly they showed me so much care and compassion throughout my surgery. The staff in all departments - especially recovery and ward as that’s where I spent my time mostly. Also Ashley in outpatients for providing me with an appointment for dressing clinic to put my mind at ease when I accidentally got my dressings wet. Honestly I would not want to have had my surgery anywhere else. Thank you all so much. I am very proud to work within such an incredible team.

Mr Harry Orlans

Ophthalmologist

I have been under Mr Orlans’ care for almost a year now and have undergone multiple complex surgeries due to an unfortunate recurring retinal detachment. My most recent surgery being the 19th of January for a left cataract, Vitrectomy and removal of silicone oil. Despite the worries and concerns I’ve had, especially given my young age, my mother and I have continuously felt reassured from my consultations with Mr Orlans that every decision made was in the best interests of my health. Even following surgery and knowing the possible potential risks, I left feeling/knowing that I was in the safest possible hands and every risk was worth that extra chance. I am incredibly grateful for Mr Orlans, patience, dedication, expertise and skill. His care has made a profound difference and given me peace of mind.

Dr Jonathan Lai

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I cannot recommend Mr Lai highly enough. He cared for me from 12 weeks and delivered my baby via C-section at The Lindo. Given my history of miscarriages, I was extremely anxious at the start of my pregnancy, but Mr Lai’s care and reassurance throughout helped me relax and feel confident that I was in the very best hands. The regular, detailed scans and his clear, balanced explanations were incredibly comforting. He was always accessible, took the time to answer all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. I am also very happy with my C-section recovery and scar. I would additionally like to mention that his secretary is wonderful—always helpful and very easy to get in touch with. I am truly grateful for the care I received and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Lai.

Berkeley Psychiatrists

Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Clinical Psychology, + 8 more

10/10 experience. We had our 10 year old son assessed for ADHD. From the moment i called to enquire about the process and what are the steps involved to the actually assessment, everyone has been amazing. Steven in the front office walked me through the entire process, what to expect, costings etc. he was polite, kind and very professional. Dr Hollie Hearfield who did the assessment was lovely. She was so good with our son, she explained everything to us as to what the next steps are. I cannot recommend you enough to others who might be thinking of going private. Its an overwhelming decision to make and it has been nothing but informative and easy with Berkley's. Keep up the amazing service that your staff deliver x

Kidswell Health

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

Honestly, it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone I spoke to was incredibly friendly and efficient, and the attention to detail really stood out. The clinic is thoughtfully designed to appeal to all ages — my 8 year old was quite apprehensive beforehand but ran straight in as soon as she spotted the Rubik’s cubes. The doctor was warm and approachable, and I was genuinely surprised to receive his report within just a few hours of the appointment. I’ve been to private clinics before, but nothing has compared to this level of care. Even being asked for feedback shows how much thought and consideration goes into Kidswell Health.

Newmedica Newcastle

Ophthalmology

I was extremely nervous having had a bad cataract surgery experience previously. However the staff went out of the way to make me feel comfortable, with a particular shout out to Bruce who was calm, funny, knowledgeable and held my hand throughout the procedure. Mr Ainsworth was warm and kind, it was good to meet him before the surgery. The whole procedure was explained and was over so quickly. It was a very personalised experience and my recovery has been quick and straightforward. I cannot recommend Newmedica highly enough, particularly for nervous patients.

Dr. Fiona Vij

Emergency Medicine Doctor, General Practitioner

I would definitely recommend Dr Vij. The consultation with her was pleasant yet thorough. It was clear that she had read my history and was (painlessly!) able to lead our discussion to fill in any blanks. She managed to elicit and clarify my aims and expectations for the consultation, and then set out to fulfil them in a professional and courteous manner. After the consultation, her analysis and response was, again, thorough, professional and easy to understand, with clear identification of possible next steps.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Kelso

Dental Care, Dentistry

All staff at Vermilion are friendly yet very professional. I had an emergency referral after losing four front teeth in a sports accident. Every step of my treatment was explained simply yet in detail. This was especially important for me, a stroke survivor, who has difficulty understanding things. My entire treatment was gentle and painless. I was looked after exceptionally well by reception staff, dental nurses, dentists, hygienists. Would recommend Vermilion Kelso 100%. Thank you

Dr May Teoh

Oncologist

I saw Dr Teoh to seek advice and a second opinion regarding my struggles with endocrine therapy following breast cancer surgery. She was extremely clear with her thoughts and more than happy to spend time explaining her reasons and any medical jargon I didn’t understand. I found her to be kind, considerate, compassionate and knowledgeable. I left my appointment feeling supported and more positive about my current regime.

Dr Sadia Bhatti

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr Bhatti was exceptional. She made me feel safe and calm through my entire experience with preeclampsia and an early cesarean with my second baby. I felt so grateful for her knowledge and patience. I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with her any concerns I had. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a calm and gentle doctor.

Dr. Matt Dennison

General Practitioner

It was so refreshing to chat to a medical professional in a relaxed and calm atmosphere with time to engage with the issues. We discussed thoroughly the two medical concerns which were troubling me and Dr Dennison offered a clear and definitive way forward. Very pleased with the experience.

Miss Anjali Kothari

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

Dr. Anjali is is an exceptional gynaecologist — calm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She explains everything clearly and makes you feel completely at ease. I’m grateful to have a doctor who is also such a kind human being, she has helped me in my bad times. Highly recommend.
