Very pleased to have met Dr Veigas. Dr Veigas was very clear with his findings and assessment. His instructions to manage my recently diagnosed symptoms were very good.
We visited St John’s and St Elizabeth Hospital in January 2026 in an extremely difficult situation. My father was rapidly deteriorating (resulting in the loss of use of his legs), and we had been unable to get a diagnosis. At that point, we were so concerned that we even went straight to A&E. We finally managed to be connected with Dr Viegas through our private medical insurance, and he was a miracle worker from the first appointment. He very quickly organised a range of tests, and the facilities at St John’s and St Elizabeth Hospital were excellent. Dr Stuart Viegas has been an absolute lifeline to our family. His excellent, detailed knowledge meant he could explain complex issues clearly and help us make informed decisions. He has gone above and beyond to support us with my father’s care, which has been complex and involved a mixture of both private and NHS support. Throughout, his bedside manner has been exceptional: calm, patient and reassuring, and he always took the time to listen to our concerns. I would recommend Dr Viegas to anyone with a neurological condition. He has a straightforward and clear approach, and he is willing to discuss the more difficult questions that often arise in critical care with sensitivity and honesty.

I arrived at the hospital after a long journey. Dr Viegas went through my medical and family history very thoroughly. He was a very good listener and I also found him very open minded. His follow up letter was very detailed and clear as to the way to proceed.
My experience of Dr Viegas has only ever been positive. He is consistently kind, considerate and genuinely supportive, and he treats every concern with respect and understanding. He takes the time to explain things clearly and calmly, and he always answers questions with real care and thought. You feel listened to and never rushed. His professionalism is matched by his compassion, which makes an enormous difference when you are feeling worried or vulnerable. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is an outstanding doctor who always makes time for you and truly cares about his patients. For which I am truly grateful.
Dr Viegas was the ultimate professional, thorough, efficient whilst providing a careful and easy to understand explanation of the facts.
Dr Viegas is an excellent clinician with a wealth of experience and a warm approachable consultation style that puts patients and colleagues at ease.
