Mr Mohammed Akmal

Orthopaedic Surgeon

I have been under the care of Mr. Akmal since 2022, for treatment of Spinal disc degeneration. Without his professional skill and empathy I would still be in chronic pain. Having had a very successful disc replacement & fusion surgery back in 2023 under his care, further deterioration in other joints resulted in needing another bout of disc replacements and fusion in my cervical spine, and cortex spacers in my lumber spine. In late 2025 I embarked on another session of surgery and underwent the operation to replace, fuse and insert spacers in the offending areas of my Lumber & Cervical spine. I request both of my afflicted areas be treated in the same operation, whilst naturally cautious he undertook a rigorous assessment of the risks and eventually he and his team agreed to proceed. I had both my Cervical and Lumber spine treated in the same surgery and having entered at 07:00, I once again walked out at 18:00 on the same day. 2 weeks later the key hole wounds had healed I was off painkillers and well on the way to full recovery. My experience again is a testimony not only to the personal skill, knowledge and empathy of Mr. Akmal, but to all the people who enable such life changing surgery to happen, including the anaesthetist, surgical team, and ward staff. The successes of the surgery undertaken by Mr. Akmal and his highly skilled team are due not only to their professional skills, but to the holistic approach taken from diagnosis, explanation of options, type of painkillers and follow up care. Whilst the impact of aging and bodily wear cannot be escaped, Mr. Akmal does offer options to improve quality of life immensely. An interesting footnote is prior to the surgery I was suffering from Hypertension, post surgery my BP is back to normal for my age, a reflection of how chronic pain can affect you in more ways than one....!!

Cleveland Clinic London

Anaesthetics, Cardiology, + 10 more

I had two excellent experiences at the Cleveland yesterday. First Norman did the most thorough and careful echocardiogram. He took endless trouble so as to give the cardiologist views of my heart and its valves from every angle and perspective. The cardiologist was most impressed and helped by all the additional information this gave him. Dr Sam Dawkins, my cardiologist told me and showed me by using these images how well the TAVI and the reduction of the septum are working as they have not only hugely improved flow through my aortic valve but also through my mitral valve. Dr Dawkins is a brilliant cardiologist and an amazing thinker. I was faced with open heart surgery to replace two valves and excision of thickened areas of heart muscle; a very risky operation with a long and maybe unsuccessful period of recovery. Dr Dawkins devised the novel procedures he carried out on me on 24/10/24. The success of this is totally down to his skill and the trouble he took. He was excellently supported by the doctors and staff of the Cleveland during the operation. I hope he is able to share the knowledge of my operation with other cardiologists so more patients can avoid open heart surgery and be given back their health the way I was. Thank you Dr Dawkins

The Joint Injection Clinic

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

Dr James Thing is a miracle worker—I am now walking almost completely normally for the first time in almost a year. I had a Baker's Cyst which he drained and injected. I had limped into his office, barely able to walk and I (almost) skipped out. He did a scan on my foot but wouldn't do an injection until I had an MRI. This is good medicine as he wanted to be sure he was injecting in exactly the right place, and indeed, he wanted to make sure an injection was the right thing to do (which it was). The foot is so much better. I am back to walking my normal 4 ½ -5 mile routes without much difficulty. Dr James Thing is a brilliant doctor! What I like is that you go in, he does an ultrasound to make a diagnosis, and if appropriate, he carries out the procedure there and then. No waiting for additional appointments at additional costs. Treatment and relief are immediate. That is amazing to find in this day and age.

Mr Abdul Kasem

Breast Surgeon

I highly recommend Mr Abdul Kasem. From the outset, he acted quickly and thoroughly, ensuring nothing was missed and nothing was too much trouble. He was exceptionally hands-on, making time to see me when schedules were tight and even calling in the evenings to explain next steps, which was hugely reassuring. Every consultation felt calm and unhurried, with clear explanations and a compassionate, relaxed manner that built real confidence. His positivity and encouragement made the situation feel winnable and well managed throughout. The efficiency and coordination of his team were outstanding, and the respect they clearly have for him was evident. My heartfelt thanks to Mr Kasem, who has clearly found his calling in helping people through difficult moments and making them that little bit easier.

Dr Mohammed Al-Khateeb

Audiologist

I had been struggling with my hearing for a long time and visited several doctors, but unfortunately there was no improvement and no clear diagnosis. It was only when I met Dr Mohammed Al-Khatib that I finally understood what my real problem was. He is an outstanding ENT doctor — extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. He took the time to listen carefully, explained my condition in a clear and reassuring way, and made me feel confident from the first appointment. Although my hearing had not improved before, Dr Al-Khatib was the first doctor who truly identified the issue and put me on the right path. I am very grateful for his expertise and care, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent ENT specialist.

Mr Amresh Singh

Orthopaedic Surgeon

recent visit was the latest in a large number in the course of the last 13 months and two hip replacements, the first of which turned out to be very complex revision surgery. Throughout all of this time I have always felt very confident and comfortable under Mr Singh’s care. In my experience, he is a first class consultant surgeon who cares very much for his patients, both before and after surgery and, even at this latest visit, my condition and ultimate recovery are very much at the forefront of Mr Singh’s concern. Overall, despite a number of setbacks, i doubt whether i could have been better cared for.

Mr Karam Al-Tawil

Orthopaedic Surgeon

After an accident I dislocated my finger and it healed with a severe contracture that was impeding my daily life. I saw Mr. Al-Tawil who recommended first non-surgical interventions with great specialists. Unfortunately these didn't work and he did a volar plate release surgery for my hand injury. The result was very good. I've regained 80% of my extension, no longer have any pain, and the scar has disappeared only a couple months later. He was very thorough about all the pros and cons throughout my journey and I felt very prepared. He's a great surgeon.

Dr Koon Chan

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I am incredibly grateful for the care I received during my pregnancy. From the very beginning, Chan was knowledgeable, and reassuring, always taking the time to explain things clearly and answer my questions. I felt genuinely listened to and supported, even during stressful moments. His expertise and calm approach gave me confidence throughout my pregnancy, and I truly felt I was in the best possible hands. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend Chan to anyone, especially those facing a high-risk or complex pregnancy.

General Practice (GP), Imaging (Scans), + 5 more

Had an immigration medical appointment for Australia. I was running late and had to reschedule my AM appointment. Sent an email as the call option was automated message but the email was promptly replied and I was rebooked for the next available PM appointment. It meant I had to wait longer but they were swift to accommodate me and the services from reception to chest X-ray and GP examination was brilliant. I was offered the Polio vaccine and a painless blood tests. Overall I recommend 100%.

The Dental Clinic Portishead

I required emergency treatment to a broken tooth , From the initial call to the dental practice meet with a professional receptionist and an appointment made. The actual visit with dentist (Simon Robertson) was at is normal excellent standard by explaining what dental work was required to resolve the situation of which he completed explaining each task as he progressed with no drama or problems. The total experience was highly professional and would recommend this practice to anyone

Venturi Cardiology

Cardiology

Dr Scott Murray was clear, compassionate, and very attentive throughout the appointment. He took time to listen, asked detailed questions about family history, and did not rush the consultation. All results were explained fully and in a way that was easy to understand. He described the condition clearly, answered questions carefully, and remained professional and engaged throughout. I felt listened to and reassured. I would highly recommend Dr Scott Murray as a cardiologist.

Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

Paediatric Cardiology, Breast Surgery, + 35 more

The doctor and nurses here are very kind and really helped me during a nerve wracking procedure that I was highly anxious for. I do think given how much we pay for these appointments, that the facilities could really use a revamp. It fees tired and dated in the common areas and the toilets were not very clean. On top of that, you can never find a parking spot, which adds extra anxiety to pre appointments.

Tajmeel Clinic

Anaesthetics, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine

During my most recent visit, Dr Khalil carried out a thorough hair transplant check-up, carefully assessing progress and results. We then discussed the option of PRP treatment as a potential next step to further support hair health and optimise long-term outcomes. The review was calm, professional, and reassuring, and the team at Tajmeel Clinic made the experience smooth and comfortable throughout.

Ms Tahira Naeem

Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

I have seen Dr Naeem on numerous occasions, and she has consistently been exceptional. She is friendly, patient, and highly understanding, and I have always felt listened to and never dismissed. Dr Naeem takes the time to thoroughly investigate concerns, and on each occasion we were able to get to the root of the issue. Her professionalism and dedication to patient care are truly outstanding.

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

Communication about where the treatment was to take place could have been a bit clearer - appointment was arranged via Shawfair Park reception but treatment was actually at Murrayfield which wasn't clear to me. Murrayfield reception also called and seemed surprised too that it has been done by Shawfair but didn't clarify where it was happening. All worked out in the end though.

Dr. Giovanni Luigi De Maria

Cardiologist

I was very pleased that my appointment was on time (if not a little early which was fab!) my doctor was lovely and made me feel very calm. He reassured me that my results were positive and that there was no further treatment required, he gave clear instructions as to what could have been the cause of my symptoms and how to avoid it in the future. Very warm and friendly.
