London Bridge Sports Medicine

Sports & Exercise Medicine

Excellent bedside manner with a true desire to get to the bottom of a problem. Free from the often occurring "I am so brilliant vibes" that I at times got from other consultants. Refreshing down to earth, approachable, very friendly. Most importantly, excellent listening skills, does not try to convenience you of a diagnosis after only hearing a quarter but appears to be thorough before making up his mind. Excellent communicator, who gets a patient fully involved, showing pictures to explain and explaining what he sees on a screen. I initially was a bit apprehensive thinking, hmmm has not got 3 decades of experience like some practitioners I saw in the past. On reflection, a good thing, still greatly motivated to make a difference and passionate about what he does. Deos not leave you feel watching the clock (he went over time, thank you) or rushed. Overall so far a positive experience (first consultation). I usually don't leave long feedbacks but if someone "goes the extra mile", so will I. Most importantly, if you had negative experiences before with consultants causing you pain/flare ups in the night and following day(s) due to handling you roughly during an examination, then give Dr Raiman a try. He very carefully moved my limbs with utmost consideration during the necessary examination, which helps building trust.

Mr Rajesh Deshmukh

Ophthalmologist

I had a bilateral cataract operation, performed by Mr. Deshmukh. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. The technicians who did all the assessment checks (separate and earlier appointment) were excellent. At this appointment I met Mr Deshmukh who put me at ease and we discussed the best replacement lenses to suit my needs. For me the premium lenses were the right choice. On the day of the operation the hospital staff were brilliant - professional and good humoured. The operation was completely painless and took much less time than I had anticipated. The immediate aftercare was been superb and the nurse talked me through what I had to do and just as importantly avoid doing. I was given some eye drops to use for the next 4 weeks. You quickly become expert at using them. Following the operation my eyesight was as good as I can remember it ever being. I then returned for a follow up consultation with Mr Deshmukh who confirmed that my recovery was going very well and my vision is better than 20/20. I have worn spectacles since my early teens and this is an incredible outcome. I can now proceed with my training to become a driving instructor.

Plastic Surgery, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 3 more

Great! Excellent overall experience. Facilities in general good, room, cleanliness, staff and procedure. I really am a fan, and if necessity arises would return with a lot of confidence that things would go well. Two small items of feedback : Negative - situation of the centre is not ideal and some patients get a view of a dingy disused courtyard . This is a minor point ! Food could be a little more interesting. Positive - its both reassuring and positive that the whole experience, especially the excellent staff, are so personal. The patient feels that care is tailored specifically to them. Little danger of removing the wrong leg! Warm human interchanges throughout, which is very, very good!

Spire Murrayfield Hospital Edinburgh

Cardiology, Cosmetic (Aesthetic) Medicine, + 15 more

My overall experience at the clinic was exceptional. When I first booked my appointment it was scheduled for a week later, but I asked whether there might be any cancellations before then. The team were incredibly helpful and thoughtful — they called me back and arranged for me to be seen the very same day. From start to finish, the service was efficient, compassionate, and reassuring. At what was a very anxious time for me, everyone I dealt with was kind, responsive, and professional. I felt genuinely cared for and supported throughout my visit, and I am extremely grateful for the outstanding care I received.

Vermilion - The Smile Experts Edinburgh

Dental Care, Dentistry

My son had a surgical extraction and the procedure was very calm and relaxed for him. I was able to be there too, so I watched the whole procedure and was very impressed at how clean the procedure was, resulting in a positive experience and successful extraction, ahead of upcoming orthodontic work. Waiting times weren't too long, although for private treatment we had hoped to be seen a little sooner than we were. The practice staff were friendly and very welcoming and high standards were evident throughout, in terms of hygiene and care. My son has no pain and is recovering well.

The Prostate Centre

Urology, Oncology

I received excellent care from Mr Challacombe for prostate cancer, diagnosed in 2023. I had a robotic total prostatectomy for a high grade cancer and two and a half years later I remain cancer free, with normal urine continence and satisfactory recovery in erectile function. My follow-up appointments are always on time as scheduled. I highly recommend the professional care provided by Prof Challacombe to any man faced with a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Quality Dental : Worthing

Dentistry

Disappointed I had to wait 20 minutes for an appointment first thing in the morning, however everything else was positive. Waiting area and treatment room were both tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and professional. Some additional work required and dentist took me through options for treatment and resulting cost. Dental work was very good and pain free(!). Payment all completed to my satisfaction. Overall, a positive experience

Dr Zainab Laftah

Dermatologist

Dr Zainab Laftah is an absolute gem. I attended my appointment with a skin problem on my forehead which had been unresolved by 2 doctors prior to visiting her. She is highly experienced and knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was talking about. Within 1 week of her treatment plan my skin cleared up and I felt relief after so long. I'm so very thankful for her, she is great at what she does - I would highly recommended her.

RTN Mental Health - Right To Choose

Diagnostics & Testing, Psychiatry, + 1 more

My GP sent referral for RTN in January 2025. According to their announcement on the ADHD website, the waiting time was 8-9 weeks. Unfortunately, I was waiting couple of months. My assessment was done in October and on my outcome appointment, which was a year after, the 3rd doctor was involved a d decided to do one more assessment. Without prior arrangement or agreement. Poor customer service, dishonest administration.

Mr Sam Norton

Plastic Surgeon

We had an excellent experience with Mr Norton when my son had two moles removed. The care was professional, clear and reassuring throughout, with everything explained thoroughly. Also very caring and understanding towards my son when he was anxious. The procedure was handled with great care, and we felt confident we were in very capable hands. The end result was brilliant. Highly recommended.

Mr Andrew Tatham

Ophthalmologist

The assessment of my eye problems was done with great care. Explanations throughout discussion were also excellent, especially when debating the best way forward. Communication was easy and very good, and I felt able to ask anything I wanted to. Both Dr Nathan and his ophthalmic nurse involved were extremely pleasant and supportive throughout. Thank you so much.

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 James Barnes

General Surgeon

Mr Barnes is very patient and kind. He has a calm and caring bedside manner and has always put me at ease during consultations and pre/post-surgery. I have had the utmost trust in him throughout the kidney transplant process. I feel very fortunate to have had Mr Barnes as my surgeon as everything has gone so smoothly for me.

Mr Paul Stimpson

ENT Surgeon

Top specialist / consultant, thorough and considerate but conveys the import of a diagnosis, whatever that might be and however challenging it may be to accept. That's an important feature of a good consultant, they don't hold back telling the bad news for what it is (if there is any), as well as the good.

Mr Philip Goodall

Urologist

Attended Spire Nottingham for TURP operation. From arrival at the Spire to discharge was fantastic treatment. All nursing and admin staff were great and Mr Goodall and Anaesthetist were fantastic in full explanations in both pre and post op scenario. Many thanks to all of the Team involved
