“We have just successfully secure a mortgage agreement using Lifelink Services Ltd. The process was very simple and smoothly acceived with Zoe Perryman and Charlie Smallman being excellent communicators and providing a good level of detail and professional perspective throughout our interactions with them. They both also seemed genuine and friendly, and helped us sort out issues without any fuss or bother. From this experience I would definitely recommend their services and certainly have no complaints. Thanks.”

“Amazing experience. So much choice for the heartbeat Teddy, all staff that we interacted with were so lovely and chatty. They were all very good at keeping the gender secret and even going the extra lengths to get us a gender teddy but still keeping it a secret by sealing the bags. Great experience.”

“Following my wife's replacement knee operation we felt the need for additional guidance on the physiotherapy. We understand the first few weeks are vital to a good outcome and following a call to Therapies on Thames we had a Physio visiting within 24 hours. Their staff, Simon in particular, was very professional and attentive and took into account all our concerns he ensured we were exercising correctly, following the recommended exercises and at the correct pace. This personalised guidance has proven to be exactly what was required. Left to our own devices, we might have skipped certain exercises or resorted to less effective methods, the value of the guidance we received from an experience professional cannot be overstated. We are very pleased with the outcome and will certainly use them again as required. Thank you Tanya and Simon!”

“I contacted the Automotive expert on a friday at 2 pm to ask for help. My ignition barrel had seized and the car wouldn't turn off for almost 20 minutes until I managed to turn it. So essentially the car was stuck and I couldn't go anywhere. I was contacted back about half hour later to say they have the parts and if they couldn't get to me that day they'd be out the following morning with a courtesy call before had to let me know they were on the way. Saturday 11am phone call and about half hour later they arrived. Very professional and quick. Sorted the job out. A warning light came on the dash. Investigated to make sure nothing was wrong. Quick test drive later light out car fixed. So grateful for such a quick turn around. I thought I could be without a car for weeks. Thank you again.”

“We have worked with Lauren 3 times for mortgage help, and she has been great everytime! Due to my husband’s shift work (and complicated payslips), our growing family, and Covid and wider economic issues, it is never a simple request of her, but she deals with everything in a very professional and friendly manner. Would highly recommend.”

The food was also excellent and many thanks to all! Alan”

“Dr. Anna Kyziol is amazing! She saved a tooth that I was told elsewhere couldn’t be saved. Her precision, patience, and care were truly impressive.

“I’ve had great experience when I came here for an MRI scan. I have claustrophobia which can sometimes get severe. But it went like a breeze and I was not frightened at any point. So, this is a review for fellow sufferers: I think it is manageable, but you might need a little preparation. The diagnostic centre is lovely and new, and so is their MRI scan (GE Signa Voyager I think - I don’t know if they have several). It is situated in a kind of outbuliding, but you wait before the process in a very nice space where there is water, toilet, comfortable chairs and sofas, beautiful environment etc. The scanner itself is quite wide, actually a bit like an open scanner, not a narrow tube. It is also white and looks like a friendly spaceship. Actually, this is what I was imagining: that I was flying to another planet, and it would be a pity to miss it just because of feeling afraid. I took a small doze of tranquillizer in advance (discussed this with my doctor of course). My husband was allowed to be near me in the room, so it greatly helped too. Can be a good idea to ask your significant other or a friend to be near you. I told the doctors that I could get claustrophobic, and everyone was very nice and gentle to me, so many thanks for this! They also put me into the scanner with my feet forward, meaning that my head was not fully inside, I could see around a bit, could see my husband etc. (won’t work of course if you have to have a head scan). There is also a lovely picture with green forest on the wall which is also very calming. The process itself goes in stages: I had 40 seconds of scan first, then 2 minutes, then 6 and 6 minutes, and then again 2 minutes. I think, as it is not one long strech, it is more manageable. You have headphones and the doctor tells you what to expect next. You can also ask to have a break or stop it at any point, and you have a button for this in one hand. So at no point you are alone or isolated. It is a bit noisy and you have to lie still, but it is sort of OK and the headphones make it quiter. On the whole, it went much better than I had expected! Around the centre there is much greenery and a generously spaced parking. Good luck to everyone!”

“Dr Afzal was incredible at making us feel like our voices were heard. After being told countless of times by professionals there was nothing they could do beside continuously give her large amounts of medication without looking into any type of tests - an X-Ray was the first thing Dr Afzal suggested after I'd been begging previous consultants for it and it was proven after this, this was infact necessary for my 5 year old. He massively helped us after a painful 4 1/2 years of issues and helped lead us onto a path that has finally helped us see light! ✨”
