Anaesthetics, Audiology, + 18 more

I have recently had a hysterectomy performed by Professor Bunkheila. The operation was a great success and I cannot thank the Professor enough for his compassion and care from my initial appointment through to the post op consultation. Professor Bunkheila was the nicest gentleman to deal with, listened to all my concerns and was reassuring and professional when discussing all the pros and cons to having such a procedure. His kind, caring manner made me feel so comfortable and after many years of extreme pain and debilitating medical conditions, I felt finally that someone was actually listening to me and could make a difference. I was very poorly at my initial consultation and now feel 100% recovered and it has been truly life changing. Professor Bunkheila and his medical team of anaesthetists were wonderful on the two occasions of my surgery as I was very nervous, but both times they were so reassuring. All the staff were very kind and efficient, my personal ward room was clean and the catering was very good. I would also like to thank a particular gentleman called Anil who performed my pre operative assessment blood tests, I am very needle phobic and was terrified but he ensured that it was done swiftly and with such kindness towards me, I was so grateful.

Spire Manchester Hospital

Cardiology, Dermatology, + 11 more

Walking into Spire hospital at Manchester, I was greeted by really good reception staff who listened to what I said and then made it happen. It felt very well organised. Into the wards/clinics for treatment, I was again greeted by friendly, confident staff who quickly put me at ease and explained what was to be carried out. All of my tests/treatments were carried out very professionally, on time and with care and respect. I felt comletly at ease throughtout. 5 Stars in every respexct for the clinical staff and Spire Manchester. Bad Experiencies. Dealing with the Spire Online/ Phone back office and Booking System. It was diabolical in all aspects. It appeared to be very dis-jointed and not able to pass information on internally nor take notice of what I told them. I received meaningless paperwork that bore little resemblance to what was to be done and its timeline. The night before treatment, around 8 p.m., I even received an email that told me all my procedures/ tests were to be carried out in Liverpool, not Manchester. Very poor level communications from Spire admin. very bad experience for me.

The Joint Injection Clinic

Diagnostics & Testing, Imaging (Scans), + 4 more

My first appointment with Dr James Thing went very well though I had to phone the clinic to say that I would be late for my appointment since the taxi broke down on the way. I arrived at the clinic with my husband 15 minutes late, but I was seen by Dr Thing without further delay. He told us that there was a patient who was on hour late on that day perhaps due to the cold weather. Dr Thing checked my medical details, my knee conditions in both legs, examined my knees carefully before looking them closely on the screen. I had bilateral Ostenil Plus Knee injections while the doctor was guided by Ultrasound Scan to insert the needles into the exact area of my knees. I had a little sensation when the needles were inserted but it was done in a gentle manner that I was feeling alright throughout the time of insertion. The whole procedure went smoothly and the doctor said he would see me in a year's time. In the meantime I was to take it easy and rest well for my knees to heal and he would write me an email in three weeks' time to see how I was doing.

Mr Mazen Tahhan

Ophthalmologist

I had a distance lens inserted on my right eye and Mr. Mazen Tahhan gave me his telephone number and said to call him if I had a problem. I am a keen insect photographer and noticed with the distance lens I could not see my camera screen clearly. I was very worried about the impact on my photography skills and ability to focus on very small insects. About 8 p.m. I sent him a text and he immediately called me. He listened to my worries and when I asked about non NHS lens he sent me a lot of information on these to consider. Next day he called back and after more discussion recommended I stay with an NHS close-up lens and get as much light as possible into the eye. I followed his advice and am very, very pleased with the result and now feel confident I can continue enjoy my rewarding interest in insects. I really appreciated how he understood my concerns and helped me to make the right decision.

The Lister Hospital, part of HCA Healthcare UK

Cardiology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, + 12 more

Once I arrived on the day of my surgery, the nurses were great in making sure I was fully prepared. The only questionable experience I had was that the physio who visited me before the surgery caused some confusion, as the exercises she showed me to do during the first three weeks were not what Prof. Field had said. Also it seemed odd that the physio visited me before the surgery, rather than after. Hence I ended up staying the night and saw Yannis, a different physio, the following morning, who was incredibly helpful. However, the experience overall was great, and Prof. Field and Dr Hussain, along with the day and night nurses, made me feel very comfortable and looked after me well.

Mr Kam Balaggan

Ophthalmologist

I was put completely at ease with all my concerns being addressed. The results are amazing, far beyond my expectations even though I was assured it would be good. Mr Balaggan has great skill which he uses to transform our most precious gift, sight. The theatre support team, both in their work and ability to put me at ease while my sight was being restored to what it was 30+ years ago, were friendly and talented. The hospital support staff saw to all my needs from the moment I walked in to the time I left. I cannot put a price or score on the whole experience, I had high hopes. and these were met and gone above and beyond them. I just want to say a huge thank you to all concerned.

Queen Square Imaging Centre

Diagnostic Pathway – Cardiac, Imaging (Scans), + 3 more

When undertaking base line assessment prior to the procedure, this was conducted in the reception area. During this taking place, 3 other people arrived and seated themselves in the reception area. We were unclear if they were members of the public, staff or other appointments. They were not introduced to us as observers for my treatment. The introduction didn't occur until Prof Zveorov arrived, then introductions were made and my family was made aware they were from other institutions to learn and observe. The support and treatment were excellent.

Neurosurgeon

For years now I have suffered with sciatica and severe back pain , I saw numerous consultations who basically stated I needed to live with it ! It wasn’t until I became under Mr Sikander I had found a consultant that listened and really understood my symptoms . I have had several procedures done now by Mr Sikander all of which are helping the pain , I totally trust any advice given and would fully Recommend Mr Sikander to anyone who is suffering daily with back and leg pain .

Mr Leonidas Vachtsevanos

Orthopaedic Surgeon

Having had a full left knee replacement, I couldn't speak more highly of Mr Leo. It's a big operation, and it requires a surgeon who is extremely competent in what he does. His homework beforehand, which he did very thoroughly in sizing the new knee, and his aftercare was 100%. Together with that, he explained everything that was going to happen, did happen, and he has a very reassuring and empathetic manner, which is also very important. Couldn't recommend him more!

Dr Daniel Kaitiff

Psychiatrist

My experience with Dr Kaitiff was excellent. After suffering from depression for over two years and making very little progress, I decided to find a different psychiatrist and was very relieved to find Dr Kaitiff. Dr Kaitiff is very easy to talk to and my wife and I immediately felt listened to and encouraged to feel positive about my recovery. Over a period of time Dr Kaitiff has successfully adjusted my medication and the future seems much more hopeful.

Castle Craig Hospital

Psychiatry, Psychotherapy

The combination of therapies under one roof is Castle Craig's strong point and a great team of staff, all really friendly and helpful. I was here for six weeks and the intensive therapy schedule has been extremely beneficial for me. Family therapy was helpful and I'm working hard to mend the relationships in my family. The fitness sessions were a highlight, the staff got me moving and thinking about healthy living after years of alcohol abuse.

Professor Bijayendra Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I needed an open reduction of a distal radial fracture. We researched local upper limb surgeons and were impressed with Professor Singhs experience and level of expertise. We were not disappointed. At each consultation both before during and after the procedure I felt reassured that I was in the best hands and that all would be fine. A very kind and thoughtful man who could not have taken better care of me. Thank you so much for everything.

Dr Rohan Jagathesan

Cardiologist

I highly recommend Dr Rohan Jagathesan as from the very first time I met him @ Rivers Hospital I felt very at ease with his understanding manner. I wasn’t rushed and I could explain my symptoms and was listened to patiently. He always explained everything clearly and professionally. I also would like to thank Gilly for her helpful response with making my appointments quickly. Mr V.M Hoddesdon (2026)

Mr Nawar Abdulsattar

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I saw Mr Abdulsattar in relation to my hip replacement surgery. From the very first moment he inspired confidence and put me at ease. He was calm and relaxed in his manner, which really helped. His explanations were very clear and easy to understand, and I never felt rushed at any point. I came away feeling reassured and confident in both the surgery and the care I was receiving.

The Horder Centre

Orthopaedic Surgery, Physiotherapy

Very positive experience. Staff very kind and attentive. Just feel that some explanations and answers to my questions needed repeating to me as I was a bit sleepy after the operation and hadn’t fully understood or taken the instructions in properly. I think it would be beneficial if staff kept checking that patients had fully understood what had been relayed to them.

My visit was absolutely brilliant. I arrived for a 13.40 appointment and was seen straight away Procedure took approximately 35 minutes and I was back in my car by 14.05. Whole process was relatively stress free. I had the post op follow the following morning by which time my eye was beginning to settle down nicely. Excellent service
