“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.”

“I had a consultation at the clinic today, and Connie was amazing from start to finish. She was warm, welcoming, and very patient.

Thank you, Connie, for the wonderful service — it made my visit a great experience.”

Definitely a positive experience—I would recommend it to anyone considering laser treatment!”

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

“Great experience, we had our scan redone because baby wouldn't cooperate. They took their time during the scan and from the man in reception to the sonographer Sylvia they were both super nice and lovely. I highly recommend this clinic after going to another that was just a rushed show.”

“My experience at Specsavers was smooth from start to finish. My eyes were checked thoroughly, and when they suspected a pressure-related issue, they didn’t ignore it — they took an additional test to be sure. The staff were polite and helpful throughout. Once my order was placed, they messaged me promptly when it was ready. During collection, they carefully checked my glasses to ensure the fit was perfect. I highly recommend Specsavers and would give 100/100 for this lovely experience!”

“I Had multiple moles removed at the Reading Branch, and i am giving my review 5 stars purely because of the treatment i received at the reading branch, from the people on reception to the doctor who did my procedure, i could not recommend enough. However, if i was rating Sk;n as an overall company my review would be quite a bit lower as all the way through my bookings and treatments, i kept getting emails and texts to confirm my appointments at the wrong times and locations, with no form of contact to say why they had been changed. This then caused me to try and phone the number, which actually puts you through to a central call centre. When you finally get through (sometimes it wouldnt even go through due to automated system not picking up what i was saying) they were not very helpful or could not give me an answer to my problems. As i said, treatment at the reading branch 5 out of 5, however how the whole company handles its bookings and contacts is in much need of improvement. If you can be put through to the actual branch on the phone or on email, the response is very quick and very helpful. It didn't feel fair to mark down this specific branch however would like it to be known how frustrating the booking process can be.”

“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! ✨”

“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.”

The clinic itself is lovely too, I will definitely be back for more treatments here and I highly recommend to others looking for anti-ageing procedures.”
