Dr. Stuart Viegas

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.

Dr Viegas is a neurologist, who is an authority on myasthenia gravis. He is extremely thorough in his examination and provides a comprehensive explanation of your condition and the proposed treatment. He is very knowledgeable and professional but has a relaxed manner, which inspires trust and confidence.

Dr Viegas was very thorough with my diagnosis. He organised a lot of tests and explained the results making sure I understood the outcome. He has a very nice manner which was comforting.

Dr Veigas is a fantastic doctor, made my diagnosis and plan very clear, he’s professional, welcoming and understanding

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.

I was recommended consult Dr Viegas for a long-term ailment which he confirmed but further tests showed a new issue. I now feel further consultations will only confirm what I already now know.

Exceptional communicator; explains everything very clearly and answers all your questions. Puts your mind at ease about things you're worried about. Extremely thorough in investigations - leaves no stone unturned. Adapts the style of information to the patient in front of him. Very knowledgable about other areas of medicine so can describe how different conditions affect each other. I want to mention Faduma, Dr Viegas' amazing secretary, who is proactive, intelligent and kind.

I was having some problems with health started during the summer holidays when i was abroad and was getting quite concerned and confused with what was going on with my health. I saw DR Viegas and he did all the necessary tests to clear me from anything wrong happening neurologically. He explained to me everything very clearly which i found extremely helpful to put my mind at ease.
