Patient experience in Manchester

“My prostate problems arose following a relatively routine eye operation; basically, after the operation, I found I could not urinate. A catheter was fitted and there followed nearly five months under the care of a local NHS hospital with visits to A and E, UTIs, large amounts of blood in the urine, extreme pain, soreness, and such like. At one point I was hospitalised for eight days and an emergency operation was performed to cauterise bleeds from the prostate. Quality of life suffered. Day-to-day tasks became a trial, visits were curtailed and holidays cancelled. Finally, I was referred for a HoLEP procedure under the NHS but, because of the long waiting time and the loss of quality of life I opted for the operation to be performed at Spire Manchester by Mr Matthew Liew. The operation was performed within a few weeks from initial consultation. At that initial consultation, the procedure was thoroughly explained and all my questions answered. I was extremely satisfied with the treatment that I received during all my time at Spire Manchester under Mr Liew's care. Post-op, the staff were kind, attentive and supportive. They explained how the operation had gone and what to expect in the coming days and weeks. My recovery so far has followed what was outlined; blood in the urine ceased after about ten days and incontinence has diminished week by week and although still present it has only been six weeks since the operation; it is manageable and much improved since the early weeks. What has changed is my general quality of life. As my wife said, it's given us our lives back since we must be aware of the impact that this has not just on ourselves but on friends and loved-ones too. We are extremely grateful for everything that Mr Liew and the other staff have done for us and we would highly recommend this route to anyone. If I can add any further detail I would be delighted to do so.”

“As usual my appointment today at Inglewood was a positive experience. All the staff are professional and friendly, the environment is clean and welcoming and Roshni , my dentist, is wonderful! She always puts me at ease and although I didn’t need treatment today , when I do she is excellent. She always takes time to go through my options and carries out the treatment in a very professional, yet kind manner . I would highly recommend Inglewood.”

“I’ve had the best experience at CLNQ with Dr Negar, at first I was very sceptical to get any kind of treatment done however straight away from the consultation she was so welcoming, calm and put me at ease straight away. I would definitely come back to get future treatments, and I would highly recommend her work to everyone, thank you for making me feel amazing Dr Negar!”

“I honestly don’t think you can get a team that could make you feel so comfortable. Both myself and my son have been for V02 max tests. It’s makes no difference if you are an athlete or just a general runner wanting to improve. The staff are just so welcoming and supportive. We love this place.”

“Lovely staff, lovely environment considering is a hospital. Looks and feels friendly and less scary. I feel for all the family’s that frequent this place on a regular basis. I wish there would be more kids based cafeteria. As a kids play and eat space. For outpatient families. Thank you”

“I am very happy with the implant carried out by Georgios, ably assisted by Jade. I would also like to thank the rest of the team members for the excellent service provided.”

“Such a lovely experience, Shahla was so friendly and thorough. We came away with such a good feeling thanks to her. Would highly recommend”

“Tyra was absolutely amazing throughout our purchase. As first-time buyers, the process was intense at times, but her calm approach, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. She protected our interests at every stage and got us through a very pressured exchange and completion just before Christmas. We’re incredibly grateful for her support and would recommend her without hesitation.”

“Excellent service. Treatment options fully explained. No pushy up selling. Care taken to calm any nerves you might have. Painless experience.”

“I've been suffering with abdominal pain for over 6 months and it was put down to suspected gallbladder issues. I was referred to Prof Sheen who after a HIDA scan ruled that out. I was tested for ACNES as an alternative cause and surgery was suggested. I was booked into the Spire and the surgery was carried out swiftly. 6 weeks post op and I haven't had another pain in my abdomen. I'm so pleased Prof Sheen is such an excellent surgeon and diagnostician, and my issue is solved. With the lack of knowledge around this condition I am so happy the correct diagnosis could be formed and solved so quickly.”

“I visited Bupa Marble Street today for a Be Ahead health assessment and had a very positive experience. Staff on reception were welcoming and helpful. The health advisor and doctor were both very friendly, took time to ask questions and run through all of the test results while offering valuable advice!”

“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.”

“Dr Edi-Osagie and his whole team are just excellent! Julie the secretary is wonderful. I can’t thank them enough for the excellent service they’ve provided and the standard of care I have received. Highly recommended and fully deserving of 5 star reviews.”

“Mr Karagama was very professional and quick indeed at dealing with my daughters throat issues, for years she suffered endless trouble with enlarged tonsils and being very young too she was very shy and worried being around doctors. However Mr Karagama showed true professionalism and was able to make my daughter feel comfortable and safe in his care. I would highly recommend Mr Karagama to any parent who's child needs any Ear, Nose and Throat care or even the Parent's too!”

“My client recommended Majid as I was looking for a new dentist in the area, she was full of phrase for The Peaks Dental so I decided to book a consultation. Never looked back. Majid is possibly the most skilled, knowledgeable and experienced dentist I’ve ever visited, I had several treatments from root canals, crowns and veneers done with him and I’ve always been extremely happy with the results. The clinic atmosphere is calm and relaxed, never waiting more than 5 min to be seen and the customer service from reception to treatment room is always impeccable. Highly recommended.”

“I would like to share how grateful I am to Firwood Dental Practice, for always treating myself and husband with professionalism, but also with understanding of our needs and empathy when needed. Every staff member treats us as part of their ‘family’ and for that we thank the whole team. Finally, I recently needed an old amalgam filling replacing, and I can’t believe what an excellent job Eva has done…. It looks so amazing and as if there is t even a filling there…brilliant!!!! Thanks to all.”

“I have been very satisfied with my dental care. Had a few problems recently and have been seen urgently and received treatment immediately to help alleviate my dental pain. I have every confidence in my dentist and feel sure that he will do his best for me.”

“Came in for a Dental Hygiene by Dr Oze Darwish, I was quite nervous before attending but throughout the whole process I was reassured. The treatment went by very quickly and was quite pleasant, the staff there are extremely friendly. Definitely will be coming back :)”
