⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Immaculately Clean, Warm & Welcoming — A Truly Excellent Hospital
 
I also wanted to share my wonderful experience of the hospital itself. First and foremost, the hospital was immaculately clean everywhere I went — it felt fresh, well-maintained, and hygienic at all times. It really put my mind at ease.
 
Every single member of staff I met was polite, friendly, and professional. From the moment I arrived, clear instructions were given to me straight away — not just by Dr. Joseph’s team, but by everyone I spoke to along the way. No matter who I came across, whether at reception, on the wards, or in the corridors, I was greeted warmly and made to feel comfortable and well cared for. Everyone took the time to be kind and helpful, and it made such a difference to my whole experience.
 
I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone. It’s clear that everyone who works there truly cares about their patients. Thank you to the whole team for making what could have been a stressful experience so much easier.

Pain Management

Spinal Injections for 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.
