Diagnostics in Manchester

“I can’t stress just how helpful Dr. Ankur Kumar has been. I was keen to ensure I saw a consultant who I had a strong sense of confidence in, so I would have complete faith in the accuracy of diagnosis and advice regarding treatment. Dr. Kumar absolutely fit the books as a specialised consultant who had previously been part of the team handling ADHDers at the renowned SLaM mental health hospital, and I was drawn to his profile on the ADHD centre website as a young, experienced doctor with a good vibe that I could hopefully identify and communicate with as much as possible. From diagnosing my ADHD in a robust and detailed assessment to supporting me with titration of medicine, I always felt that the key to Dr. Kumar’s treatment was enabling me to make informed choices and take control of my treatment so it worked for me. This isn’t to say that his strong expertise wasn’t there to steer me - rather that he supported my acting as an active participant in each step of my treatment pathway with the independence to make guided choices. This was hugely important for me and this process has been one of assuming a greater degree of control over my life and health. Dr. Kumar was honest, empathetic and non-judgmental. I felt I could be open and say more or less anything to him, which is something I usually find challenging with doctors. He had great insight into my experience and feelings, and was able to articulate where I felt unable to express myself fully. I couldn’t have asked for a better physician for this, and I felt confident I was in the best possible hands. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kumar to anybody seeking diagnosis or treatment for ADHD. He is clearly very experienced at engaging and communicating with neurodivergent individuals. I felt valued and respected as an equal partner in dialogue and planning regards treatment choices, which is a remarkable achievement for a condition where so often one can feel isolated, misunderstood and an outsider to society’s common perspectives and experiences. To this extent I felt Dr. Kumar gave me confidence and calm, reassurance and encouragement. Dr. Kumar built me up when my expectation going in to a space of clinical intervention and psychiatric evaluation was one of feeling diminished, vulnerable and a person who might come across mentally unwell. I’d expected to be placed under the looking glass of a serious doctor in a serious white coat, to dictate to me how I should deal with my serious problems. This wasn’t my experience at all. On top of having confidence in his advice, clear experience and knowledge, his relaxed and approachable manner was refreshing. Being able to talk freely about my experience of ADHD and make decisions with help of a compassionate, empathetic expert helped with feelings of being out of touch with others due to this condition, and of lacking capacity to take meaningful control of my life. Dr. Kumar has a genuine and clear interest in the wellbeing of his patients - whether that’s in relation to treatment impacting on work performance, daily life or otherwise. He is a kind and emotionally astute individual. He’s also very funny at times. While I am here I should give a special mention to the admin team - particularly Dr. Kumar’s fantastic receptionist Leanne Ford - prompt to respond, highly conscientious, and helpful with queries and requests. Do see Dr. Ankur Kumar if you think you have ADHD, you won’t find the experience difficult in the slightest. My only regret is not doing so earlier! I look forward to continued follow ups into the future and continued progress under his supervision and guidance.”

“Excellent medical research facilities”

“The care my daughter received on ward 45 ICU, HDU has been exceptional. The care staff and nurses were fantastic, respectful, friendly, worked to the highest standards. They treated my daughter and myself, with dignity, respect. The cleanliness and team work was clear to see.”

“We had to take our cat for an emergency appointment and this place was suggested on our vet's website, since this place was open after hours, Sundays and Bank Holidays. We rang up and got told to come here as soon as we could, no appointment needed. The facilities were good. A really great idea in dividing the waiting areas for dogs and cats, so less disruption. The cat waiting area even offered blankets to cover baskets if we had a nervous cat, lovely touch. Unfortunately we had to have our cat put to sleep, but the vet that we had informed us of our options, respectful to us and our cat, and the process. He really helped us through it all and what to do next. The reception staff were all friendly, attentive and helpful.”

“Easy booking process, on time and excellent staff”

“What a lovely team based in DAM Health Stretford. I rescheduled a booking and was meant to arrive at Manchester City Centre but shout out to Claire for rearranging this appointment for me. From the start to finish, each member of staff were so pleasant and gave me step by step advice as to what would happen next. I booked the results within 24hours PCR Fit to Fly Test. Appointment at 9.30am and I received my results within 6 hours. Thank you to this amazing team for making the process fast and efficient.”

“I have just returned from a visit to the walk in centre where my daughter needed treatment for two ear piercings that had become very infected. The two nurses ( I think) who treated her were incredible and were able to remove both piercings. My daughter was clearly in a lot of pain and very distressed but they just kept her calm and worked wonders! I cannot thank them enough - you were fab! Thank you!”

“Had to go here for a C spine MRI and I was so nervous and worried but the place has a really relaxing atmosphere in very posh surroundings, the scanner is down a few steps but they have a lift if needed. There were few people in and I was taken straight down. Had my own changing room and locker for valuables and the technicians were so lovely I can’t fault it. I had my head in a cradle which was better for me and my claustrophobia coz I could see the room n my feet and not the roof of the scanner. They provided ear buds and headphones with the radio on. I cud have fallen asleep if it was any longer. I was referred via the nhs. I would really recommend going here. I’m actually a bit disappointed my next MRI in 2 weeks is not here! Lol, I no complaints at all.”

“North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) is a large NHS hospital in Crumpsall, Manchester, run by the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

“Was seen by Dr Krishan. What can I say. My experience was amazing from start to finish. Dr Krishan and all the nurses are amazing,very professional,friendly and make you feel at ease. Everything is explained fully and in lamons terms so I knew what was happening every step of the way. I cannot thank the team enough. My unsightly veins are well on the road to recovery. Thank you so much.”

“It is not usual for me to write reviews but in this instance I must - Dr Gupta is by far the most engaging and caring psychiatrist I've ever seen and has gone above and beyond in regards to my care. I couldn't recommend him more. The receptionists are also extremely friendly and professional. My life is finally getting back on track and it's thanks to the well being centre.”

“After years of being dismissed and left in pain, I finally found help at Mediscan. I’ve been here twice over the past 16 months, and both times the consultant found and clearly reported on the source of my pain and swelling—findings that my NHS doctor overlooked and ignored, and in some cases, even covered up. Mediscan took my symptoms seriously, especially when others wouldn’t. The staff were kind, professional, and they actually listened—something I had almost given up on. I finally feel like I’m being taken seriously and moving toward proper treatment. Thank you, Mediscan, for giving me hope again. I know this pain and swelling are real and serious and nearly cost me my life 3 times, and I’m exhausted from being told “everything is fine” when it clearly isn’t. I Highly recommend mediscan and I will be back for more tests. They're a team you can trust and wont waist your time or money. Thank you for all your help.”

“An amazing visit after months of worry and stress. Immediately put at ease. Excellent staff with bags of knowledge. Very much looking forward to my journey with them in restoring and building my smile back again! Thank you!”

“So often we hear stories about how bad the NHS is, but not enough about the good. I can’t thank the staff on T3 at Oldham Hospital enough for the compassionate care they’ve shown my mum over the past three weeks. They have truly gone above and beyond. Sister Collette, the nurses, physiotherapists, HCAs, meal staff — every single member of the team has been incredible. Their respect, care, compassion, dignity and support for both my mum, myself and my nephew has been outstanding. This team deserves to be recognised for the amazing work they do, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you Denise’s family”

“Sold my car here and got great service. No fuss or stress and was completed within minutes. Would highly recommend if you are considering selling your car and want a hassle-free experience.”

“Great service, I came earlier than my appointment time in hopes I could still be seen. They were great!”

“A warm welcome and great professional service received from everyone at Bupa today from Suzanne the lovely receptionist, to Scott & Dr White. Thorough health check done. Thank you Bupa team”

“Very helpful to deal with, fast reply via email and always happy to help on the phone.”

“This GP had been amazing for me. The first one where I’ve felt confident in all the help and advice I have been given. From the doctors to the way they handle my queries. It’s so nice not having to call up at a time and pray they have an appointment available. Thank you for the support!”

“My mother needed a private ultrasound scan urgently for a second opinion, the price is very reasonable and we were given an appointment very quickly. The team was very friendly and professional.”
