Coaching

I began working with Jo shortly after receiving my autism diagnosis at the age of 45. At the time, I was already an experienced practitioner, but I was navigating a new understanding of myself while continuing to work at a high professional level. Jo’s mentoring was genuinely transformative. Through her insight, strategies, and lived understanding, Jo helped me to recognise who I am, clearly identify my strengths, and understand that I am not deficient. She supported me in developing the confidence and language to advocate for myself, to understand the reasonable adjustments I was entitled to, and, crucially, how to ask for them effectively. The impact of Jo’s work with me went far beyond personal insight. By applying the strategies and approaches she shared, I not only progressed professionally; I was promoted first to a senior role and then to Service Lead. Jo helped me align my authentic self with my professional practice, strengthening both my leadership and my effectiveness. Jo’s mentoring has had a lasting impact on my confidence, my career, and my sense of self. Her support was empowering, affirming, and deeply respectful, and I cannot overstate the value of what she helped me achieve.

Had an appointment for hip injections. I was seen on time. The consultant Mr Howell and radiologists Rachel and Natalie were all amazing. They were welcoming, friendly, professional and warm. They helped me to relax, feel comfortable, assured and confident. I have had the absolute pleasure of meeting many of the staff at St Hugh's and would recommend the hospital to anyone. The people are so genuine, lovely, human, friendly and professional. You are welcomed by the reception staff immediately upon arrival and the experience continues throughout. I appreciate that the staff work in a relatively calm setting, but they make the experience. This is a really well run hospital overseen by the director Ellen and her deputy Sarah. The consultants are of the highest quality. This is an amazing local resource which must be protected. The hospital undertake vital NHS work as well as private work. NHS pressures challenge the continued operation of St Hugh's, which would be a tragedy. Thanks and best wishes to everyone! Xx

Mr Darmarajah Veeramootoo

General Surgeon

I cannot recommend Mr V highly enough. From my initial consultation through to my surgery and recovery, his level of care, skill and professionalism was exceptional. He is friendly and welcoming, and makes you feel completely relaxed. Having never had surgery before, I was extremely anxious and, at first, was unsure whether or not to go ahead. Mr V did not put me under any pressure, he took the time to explain the procedure thoroughly, address my fears, and reassure me in a calm and compassionate manner. I am thrilled to share that my surgery was a complete success, and my recovery has been exceptionally fast and smooth. I have experienced zero complications, and all of the symptoms and issues I had prior to surgery are now fully resolved. Mr V’s surgical skills and level of precision is quite honestly outstanding. I would like to thank Mr V for taking such good care of me, he has given me my life back. I am deeply grateful and would recommend him to anyone.

Mr Matthew Liew

Urologist

I was referred for Holip surgery by my NHS consultant in Oct 24 as I was self catheterising 4 times daily. In June 25 I was called for a pre-op. Previously I had researched what was involved and sought out private surgery options. By September having heard nothing further from the NHS only that I was still on 'The List' I phoned Spire Manchester. Meeting with Mr Liew a week later I was confident I had made to right decision .Aware I had a huge prostate 240gms that needed surgery I decided there and then to go ahead and received surgery a few weeks later. At age 79 it was the best money I have ever spent. Quickly back on my feet,I was home two days later and soon driving once more. Quite different from the recovery from my Terps prostate op seven years earlier. I found the whole experience very professional and have no hesitancy in recommending Mr Liew at Spire whatsoever if you are in the situation in which I found myself.

Dr Hisam Siddiqi

Haematologist

Dr Siddiqi from the first moment I met him has had a profound affect on me and my wife. He is very professional and has faith in his ability and has had faith in me to follow the course of treatment he has prescribed. He explains each course of action and what it entails. He has contacted me, not just for appointments but to give me results as soon as he has got them, always treating me with respect and patience. My illness is treatable but not curable, he has empathy with myself and was happy to meet members of my family to explain my situation. He does not suffer fools gladly and is, I would suspect a perfectionist. I have every faith in him to continue with my treatment and hold him in the highest regard.

From first contacting my GP who could have referred me to a podiatrist but asked me to decide on whether it was appropriate (a decision for which I have no expertise to make) in late May it took over 3 months to see Mr Qasim (via TIMS during which I obtained no advice to go back to GP to get podiatrist referral, but instead a referral to Mr Qasim for steroid injection). However, the podiatrist at Freeman said steroid was no longer suitable due to second toe having developed a hammer deformity by then (mid-November). I think I should have been referred straight to Freeman, not via TIMS and Mr Qasim because I had months of delay and pain while I waited, thus affecting my ability to do my job as a nurse.

Nuffield Health The Manor Hospital Oxford

The Manor Hospital appeared clean, pleasant environment and staff were friendly. There is however one major issue - Car Parking. I nearly missed my appointment despite arriving 35 minutes prior. The car park does not appear adequate for the volume of patients and staff. A vehicle had been parked and blocked the car park, presumably because they thought were going to miss their appointment. This was resolved by creating a one way system which finally allowed me to, by luck, get a space. As an improvement it might be good if when booking, the booker tells the patient of possible alternative car parks in the area that they might have to use?

Miss Sarah Saqib

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

The doctor was very friendly throughoit the consultation and procedure. She immediately put me at ease and listened carefully to my medical history . She explained the procedure and how that I was in control if i felt any discomfort. During the procedure both the doctor and the nurse reassured me about what was happening and due to their friendly and relaxed manner the procedure was completed quickly and with minimal discomfort . After the procedure the doctor discussed aftercare and answered any questions I had

Mr Shailesh Agrawal

ENT Surgeon

Dr. Agrawal provided exceptional care from my initial diagnosis to recovery . He took the time to listen to my symptoms in great detail and was extremely helpful in explaining all the medical terms I didn't understand. His attention to detail and genuine concern made all the difference in a very stressful time. The explanation of the treatment plan was clear and I felt fully involved in all decisions regarding my health. I would definitely recommend him to others; a truly wonderful consultant

Dr Zainab Laftah

Dermatologist

My experience was excellent from the outset, from booking an initial appointment with Penny, PA to Dr Laftah who is lovely, so very efficient, friendly and professional, to my meeting with Dr Laftah and having a biopsy and obtaining results was a very positive experience. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr Laftah who is lovely, patient and very thorough, explaining all in detail, she listened and made me feel very comfortable.

I felt the physio and rehabilitation was excellent. It would help to have the same team more regularly as per the information but I realise that because of ‘flu it was not possible Some locus on Daturdau were good. One useless The hospital experience other than the rehab was nothing like as good as the Princess Grace and left alot to be desired

Mr Kasra Saeb-Parsy

Urologist

Kasra Saeb-Parsy Quickly diagnosed ( correctly first time as it turned out) and the treatment worked very quickly and cleared up the issue I had been having for past couple of years which my local GP struggled to resolved. I am so pleased I chose Kasra Saeb-Parsy and would highly recommend him. Thanks so much I now have a great start to the new year!

My mum had the best care. From start to finish: the receptionists were attentive and friendly. Dr Sonia was very thorough putting together her medical records (my mother is visiting the UK only), explained everything, was very approachable and we could see she really cared. We could not have had a better experience, thank you!

Dr Mohamed Alama

Cardiologist

I found my phone appointment was worthwhile as I did wonder what would be achieved over the phone. The doctor was very thorough with his questions and listened to what I had to say and is now requesting I go for an MRI scan. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor, thank you.

Urban TRT

Endocrinology & Diabetes

It was a complete relief to be able to discuss both physical and emotional concerns with Dr Kitova and receive such sound advice. I wish I had seen her earlier to avoid unnecessary stress in my own mind. My advice to anyone is don’t wait and put your health and wellness first.
