    I visited Lumen for a full screening in November 2023. I chose the Lumen because for the last fifteen years I have had regular MRI assessments with Dr Garry Savin at his previous practice. Therefore, it was imperative that I visited his fabulous new clinic. Lumen have the most state of the art technology in the world of preventative medicine but my reason for choosing the clinic was because it is run by Dr Savin. Machines are machines but the difference with Lumen is the man behind the machines - that is the key - and Dr Savin is that difference. That is the reason why I've followed him to his Harley street clinic. Lumen offers a state of the art service that is in a league of its own. If you are able to take up the opportunity to have a screening you won't regret it and should there be any issues the diligent on going support is amazing and couldn't be bettered. When you buy a car it isn't just the vehicle you judge it is also the after sales service - Dr Savin's I would suggest is second to none. Lumen as a clinic is amazing. Dr Savin and his team provide a service that makes you feel relaxed, informed and cared for from the moment you arrive. His wonderful colleague Natalie Boden steers you through the day from assessment to assessment, with Dr Savin reviewing your every move. The location in Harley Street couldn't be more convenient, the building luxurious and the team ultra efficient. If you are wondering who should do your preventative assessment then I would say choose Lumen because you will get the most advanced technology alongside good old fashioned GP care. Lumen is the best and you won't regret choosing it for your screening. If you run a successful business perhaps you could provide for your staff a screening at Lumen? I'm sure they would be forever grateful and you never know you may just save a life! Finally, I would be very happy to provide further references on Dr Savin and Lumen if required. Please approach Lumen and ask for the person who provided this review.

    I sought the help of PODOGO in June this year. After reading about Consultant Mr. Nazir background on the website, I thought that he would be the ideal person to investigate my problem; which was an ongoing foot injury that had been previously misdiagnosed by the NHS.Upon first meeting Mr. Nazir, it was very apparent that he was incredibly perspicacious in relation to his field, which was displayed by the way he was able to identify where my pain was, and his explanation of what could have been the root cause.This placed me at immeditate ease, by feeling he was more than capable to deal with my problem, of which I had suffered with for well over a decade with.Mr. Nazir very quickly identified what he suspected to be the problem, and arranged for a scan to be done. The scanned confirmed his suspicions that the injury was a fracture to my 5th metertasal bone, and that the tendon had been damaged, resulting in a full detachment.After carefully listening to the options Mr. Nazir suggested to fix my injury, I decided to go ahead with surgery, which was to remove a large piece of damaged bone, and reattach the damaged tendon.After suffering for a number of years, I placed my trust in Mr. Nazir to assist me in hopefully getting my full mobility back, and to be pain free, as this injury had had a serious impact on my overall health, for a considerable number of years. In my view, he has more than delivered on what he said he could.The day of the surgery was an absolute breeze, and all the staff that supported me, were also so professional by providing exceptional care.I am now approximately 8 weeks post op, and my foot has never felt so good, all my pain has gone away, and I am making great progress now, including being able to walk without any pain.To say I am surprised and elated at the success of the operation, would be an understatement.I am extremely grateful to Dr. Nazir for his extremely fast prognosis, diagnosis and successful treatment.I would highly recommend anyone to see Consultant Nazir, should they be in need of any foot related problem.
