Knee Replacement

A very good experience on the whole. The only thing that I believe should be reviewed is the answering of the telephone. On discharge I was given a book with contact details. Unfortunately I made several calls that were not answered and had to leave a message on the answerphone. I was called back.

Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty)

Fantastic from start to finish I was treat with respect and care.  From the day of the operation everything was explained discussed and agreed.  The operation was handled with expertise that I personally can vouch for as this was the 2 Nd hip to be replaced by Mr Webb and his fantastic team really appreciate all their time care and devotion towards all patients nothing is too much of an ask.

Nerve Pain

Back Pain

Chronic Pain

I recently consulted Dr Sachane about severe back pain. He was thorough, listening carefully and gathering and summarising the relevant information. Based on this, he outlined my options and a plan to relieve and manage my pain.

I cannot recommend Dr Alkholany enough. After suffering with sciatica since Sept 2025, I was struggling to walk and it had a huge impact on my daily life. My partner and I have always enjoyed walking and usually have at least one walking holiday a year, but the pain stopped me doing the things I love. After not getting help from the NHS, i decided to seek private treatment, and it is one of the best decisions I made. Dr Alkholany was kind, professional and most importantly he really listened to everything I had to say. He took the time to explain my condition thoroughly and we agreed on a spinal steroid injection under X-ray guidance. I had already attended weekly physiotherapy sessions and had also seen an osteopath, but the improvement was minimal. Following my consultation, the procedure was booked within a week, which was a huge relief after 9 months of pain and uncertainty. Everything was explained clearly, and I felt completely at ease throughout the procedure. Dr Alkholany also explained that whilst the injection would help manage the pain, it was important to continue with some physiotherapy to help strengthen my core and support my long term recovery. Just 1 week after the injection, I am completely pain free and genuinely feel I have been given my life back. I am so grateful for the care, expertise and compassion I received. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Alkholany to anyone suffering from persistent pain.
