Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo

General Surgeon

Mr Veeramootoo was the surgeon for my procedure to fix an inguinal hernia. The procedure was carried out at Spire Clare Park Hospital in mid-December 2025. I met with Mr Veeramootoo for a consultation in October and then again on the morning of my procedure. During these meetings he clearly explained what would happen during the procedure and he answered all my questions. Mr Veeramootoo visited me once more, when I had recovered from the general anaesthetic and confirmed that the procedure had gone smoothly. I was able to return home the same day. In the first week following the procedure, I was fortunate in experiencing very little real pain and the general discomfort in the area of the procedure had largely gone by the end of the second week. I regained my mobility very quickly and was able to walk multiple miles without discomfort by the end of the first week. Now, four weeks after the procedure, I feel largely back to normal, my body providing only occasional reminders that I shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous. Overall, I have a very positive view of the care I received. I wish to extend my thanks to Mr. Veeramootoo and to all of the staff who were involved in my treatment and care.

I was made to wait 6 months for my cataract operations because I had a cardioversion. This is a short sedation rather than a general anaesthetic. I have been given no clinical explanations for this. I am in perfect health despite my age. I understand that a normal waiting time at other hospitals is 6 weeks with good recovery after a major operation. I suspect there are no clinical reasons, just a bureaucratic hesitation to take the slightest risk. I wonder how many patients discover that “Well soon” should be retitled “Well sometime”. Your bureaucratic incompetence is illustrated by your list of specialists which does not include the name of my surgeon, your lead ophthalmologist Dr Marzena Raszewska. It is her recorded ability that persuaded me to wait the 6 months rather than seek an alternative.

My wait time was excellent, I was seen ahead of my appointment time. The individual who picked me up to take me to the MRI was very friendly and kind. Unfortunately, that’s when things got somewhat awkward. The actual MRI attendant who was in charge of asking me the safety questions in advance found herself having a disagreement with a member of staff on another ward whilst with me. I understand that people are overworked and underpaid - resourcing has always been an issues (I have worked for the NHS), however, having an argument over who would tend to someone being seen after me is something that should not have happened infront of me. A joke was made of it when she hung up the phone but it was incredibly uncomfortable for me.

After the first right eye cataract removal Mazen Tahhan gave me his telephone number and said to call him if I had a problem. I am a very keen insect photographer and found with the distance lens I could not see the camera screen clearly. I became worried about the impact on my ability to focus close up on insects. About 8 p.m. I sent him a text briefly outlining my concerns . He called me back immediately and listened carefully. I was even considering other options than the NHS lens and he kindly sent details of these. However he advised me to I stay with a close-up NHS lens to get as much light into the eye as possible. I followed his advice and am very pleased and very satisfied with the result. Sabina George

Dr Sunil Nair

Diabetes & Endocrinology Specialist

I found Mr Nair to be very personable and attentive. He took copious written notes as I explained my problem and concerns. He suggested an adjustment to my medication regimen, which will help with troublesome side-effects, writing to my GP accordingly. This is a particular source of relief to me. He has also made an NHS referral for me, for a separate, concerning issue. I am extremely glad that I made the decision to see Mr Nair privately, rather than wait for an NHS appointment. If I should need any further advice or support, I won't hesitate to make a further appointment to see him. This was a very positive and supportive experience, Thank you Mr Nair.

After seeing several gynecologists, Mr Raza was at last the most reassuring and straight forward in explaining why having a robotic laparoscopic hysterectomy would be the best way forward for me. I am now 6 weeks post op and I am feeling great. I am continuing to be amazed by how small my scar is (2cm!). I would highly recommend Mr Raza to any women doubting whether to have the operation. Every person is different of course but he is so knowledgeable, kind and professional. His PA - Sukhy - has been extremely helpful, supportive and always at the end of the line if I had any question - even during the Christmas week. Thank you !

Hari has been looking after my dad who has stage 4 kidney cancer. Hari is a kind, caring person who treats you with respect and truly wants to help. Dad certainly would not be where he is now only for Hari. He sets out a clear protocol to help on your cancer journey. I think one of the things that stood out to my dad and our family is the reassurance he gives you. I would recommend anyone going through this to contact Hari and his team. You will be in knowledgeable safe hands without doubt.

Dr Iaisha Ali

Dermatologist

As ever, I look forward to seeing Dr Ali. An outstanding professional who has a generous personality about her. With her professional guidance, Dr Ali is brilliant at engaging and discussing with me, as the patient, the treatment options available. It makes me feel included in the decision made rather than being told what to do. Dr Ali couldn’t be a more pleasant person and we always have a brief chat about our respective children and what they are up to (as they are of a similar age).

Mr Raj Das Bhaumik

Ophthalmologist

Raj performed a very successful four eyelid Blepharoplasty on me. From my initial consultation, the pre-op, the actual op, and the follow-up consultation Raj which very professional, reassuring me and took time to ensure I was fully informed and comfortable with the procedure. I especially welcomed the phone-call at home a day and a half after the ops to check in on me. I am very happy that I no longer have bags under my eyes and no hooded eyelids,

All the staff at the Spire Hospital were helpful & nothing was too much trouble so that I felt listened to in terms of my needs & any fears I had. I felt reassured that I was in excellent hands when it came to pain relief particularly immediately post op & was encouraged to get out of bed as soon as I was able. The food was enjoyable & there was a good variety which certainly helped my recovery & my room was light & very clean.

After failing to get an appointment with my GP, my Daughter made an appointment for me at WLC , within a couple of hours of phoning I was seen by the lovely Dr. York. She identified me having a chest infection, and reduced power in my lungs . Collected prescription from chemist. At 82 , I think I would have ended up in hospital had it not seen this Doctor. Amazing service Now a day later feeling much better. 😎

᠎ Georgie Hall

Physiotherapist

Georgie was really great and super helpful with my son’s rehab. She had a wonderful manner and just the right tone which helped my son engage in the whole rehab process. She explained everything really clearly and was reassuring especially initially when the concussion and its symptoms seemed bit scary! She made the experience very pleasant and our appointments with her felt constructive and positive.

Mr Mark Tomlinson

General Surgeon

Mark Tomlinson was very thorough from my initial consultation through to the operation and post-operative care. He answered all my questions and explained the different treatment operations which were available to me as well as explaining the recovery period following my operation. I found Mark Tomlinson to be very personable and am happy to recommend him.

Mr Martin Davison

Mr Davison, as he has been throughout, was clear, approachable and keen to help with future planning for further hip replacement. It is clear he works as part of a multidisciplinary team and well aware of his other colleagues’ input, particularly in terms of physiotherapist work..
