Dr Viegas has provided excellent care with listening to my symptoms, developing an investigation plan, reviewing test results with me, providing a recommendation for a neck surgeon for a more specific investigation, and following-up with me to ensure I am getting thorough care by addressing all of my concerns.

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.
