"I have had a very positive experience at The Private Clinic Harley Street. I had previously visited a private hospital in Great Missenden and been told I would need a hemorrhoidectomy surgery which can be extremely painful and probably a very long recovery.

I have chronic pain so I was very anxious about the prospect of having this surgery. I visited Mr Nastro who put me at ease and offered me a much less intrusive option, something I have never heard of – mucopexy and rafaelo procedure.

My problem was a prolapsing hemorrhoid and other internal smaller hemorrhoids. Mr Nastro was very personable and considering the nature of my problem he made me feel very at ease. Alicia is my patient coordinator and is very helpful and easy to talk to also very personable, as I had several questions after my appointment that I hadn’t asked Me Nastro and she quickly got back to me with any queries, and I even spoke to Mr Nastro on the phone about my questions and anxiety of the procedure.

I was extremely anxious on the day of my procedure and all the staff at the Fitzroy hospital were very reassuring. I arrived at 1.45 and I was able to leave by 6:30 and was given a phone number to call out-of-hours nurse if required. The nurse also called me the following day.

During the first week of my recovery, I was able to speak to a nurse very quickly about worries that I had. I spoke to Bernadette who was very reassuring and a lovely lady which is just what you need! I am 3 and half weeks into my recovery now and Alicia has regularly called me to see if everything is ok. I know that I can speak with a nurse if I need to which is great.

All in all, the procedure was a little painful after but nowhere near as painful as I thought it would be and I actually only had to take paracetamol. Overall, I would definitely recommend The Private Clinic of Harley Street ???? I am so relieved I found them!"

"I had a procedure at Hagley Road Birmingham. It was carried out by Mr Patel

Despite me being a little anxious the staff helped me relax and Mr Patel was very nice and understanding and explained everything to me, and the whole experience was better than I could have hoped for.

I have recommended The Private Clinic to a friend who later this year will be contacting them."

Graham, – Previous patient

"My visit to The Private Clinic was the best decision I’ve made in a very long time. Wish I’d known about the Private Clinic 5 years ago and saved myself years of pain and embarrassment.

Mr Nastro, Alicia and the rest of the team have helped bring quality to my life- this was to be my last attempt of trying to fix a problem that was slowly breaking me after several let downs by the public hospitals.

I made my consultation with Mr Nastro to have haemorroids removed before I started my IVF treatments to prevent future complications that might have risen with the possibility of pregnancy.

At the appointment, Mr Nastro immediately made me feel relaxed as he quietly listened to my long history of pain with this condition. No doctor had ever given me that much attention, they were always in a rush to give you, their diagnosis.

Leaving the clinic that day, I felt hopeful for the first time. Mr Nastro took his time to liaise with the IVF clinic to ensure that any procedure he wanted to do would not interfere with the IVF process. I felt taken care of. I was given Alicia’s number to call in case I had any concerns.

Communications were prompt and regular updates were given at each stage. I had a deep fissure which is no more. My wound is healing amazing, no more 14 hour pain after each bowel movement and I don’t dread going to the toilet anymore. To Mr Nastro, Alicia, and all the team at the private clinic thank you so much for giving me my life back."
