I arranged an appointment with Dr Tiwari for my aunt who is 91 years old. A former NHS Nurse for 45 years, there was no such thing as Moving & Handling training or hoists to aid you, brute strength was the only requirement for lifting and moving patients. Her global Osteoarthritis was a result of her hard work and she had been in severe pain for many years. In particular, both of her knees were affected, especially her left knee, which was now in a 'bone on bone' status. As is the norm for her generation, she bore it stoically and went through physio, acupuncture and several unsuccessful steroid injections into her knee. She went to Pain Management services and had been prescribed Fentanyl patches to control her pain. However, my aunt, who has the cognition of a woman half her age, disliked the feeling of the opiate analgesics and stopped using them. She chose to bear the severe pain rather than to endure the brain fog and soporific feeling of not being in control whilst using the patches. I read an article about Arthrosamid injections and looked for a clinic in Glasgow which provided these. After reading the informative website for The Glasgow Private Clinic in Newton Mearns, I shared all of my research with her and she decided that she would like to go ahead with the Arthrosamid injection into her knee. It was a very easy process to book an assessment appointment online with Dr Tiwari. I accompanied her to the clinic on 24 November. Our first impressions of the clinic were the bright and airy reception area and the friendly welcome from the receptionists. Dr Tiwari came out to see her in a very short time and introduced himself to us. He was very pleasant and engaging when settling her into his consulting room, which was also spacious and bright. He initially asked my aunt why she wanted to have the Arthrosamid injection. She replied articulately that she " wanted her life back, however many years that may be she had left, she wanted to be pain free and able to navigate around her home and her garden and be able to do the activities of daily life again". Dr Tiwari examined my aunt's knee and took a brief history of her current health state. He then explained in great detail what the Arthrosamid injection was, the stats for success rates in an elderly age group, the injection process, which was a one step procedure performed under local anaesthetic, guided by ultrasound. I had written down a list of questions for Dr Tiwari, but he covered all of them and more. I could see that my aunt was impressed and reassured with everything he'd explained to her. She decided that she would like to 'go for it' without much hesitation at all! We were given an appointment for two day's hence. After we left the clinic, she told me that Dr Tiwari had inspired confidence in her, especially when he explained how many of these injections he had already performed. We arrived at the clinic for the injection at 11:30am when my aunt was given antibiotics; Dr Tiwari had already explained to her that she was being given these as a preventative measure against any infection. There were tea, coffee milk and juice for refreshments with a choice of biscuits. I made us both tea and we sat in comfortable chairs to await her injection at 12:30. I helped my aunt to the toilet which was again, bright and airy and sparkling clean. Dr Tiwari came out for us on time and we went into the consulting room. My aunt was made comfortable on a brand new examination with a foam wedge pillow under her knee. He gloved up and prepared the injectables. My aunt and I were able to look at the ultrasound where he explained where he was going to inject. There was quite a bit of synovial fluid in the knee joint and he aspirated some of that off. He continuously checked if my aunt was okay and comfortable whilst he injected the Arthrosamid, which was in 6 x 1 ml syringes. My aunt did not experience any pain whatsoever and the whole procedure was over before we knew it. Dr Tiwari explained to my aunt that she was his 300th patient and she was happy to have her photo taken with him on this special occasion. She will have a follow up check up after 12 weeks. Dr Tiwari also advised her to get some physio treatment on her knee after a few weeks. He advised her not to put too much pressure on that leg and to continue flexing and bending her knee. Dr Tiwari had tried to call my aunt for follow up without success; my aunt is notorious for not answering her phone! He then phoned me to ask how she was. I was happy to report that she was still pain free and she was more mobile than she'd ever been for many years. My aunt is now talking about getting her other knee done as well, because she is so happy with the outcome of being pain free and more confident in mobilising around her home. I would highly recommend Dr Tiwari to anyone suffering with knee joint pain. Indeed, I'm considering having the injection in my knee too; arthritis runs in our family! Thanks so much Dr Tiwari for all your help and attention to my aunt as she underwent her injection. I has been a success for her and she reported to be feeling 20 years younger!

My wife recently went for an iron transfusion with Dr. Naushad Ali after many unsuccessful attempts to get help through the NHS. While we were there, I spoke with Dr. Naushad and mentioned that I was interested in having a health MOT. His advice was completely professional and not sales-driven in any way. He explained the services they offer and shared some background about the practice. After seeing the excellent care my wife received, I decided to book a consultation for myself. I scheduled and completed my blood test for the Wellman Health MOT during the same visit. The following Tuesday, I received a phone call to discuss my results, and shortly after, I was emailed a full copy of all my test results. Dr. Naushad Ali is by far the best doctor I have ever dealt with. I would highly recommend him and the Glasgow Private Clinic to anyone looking for a professional, honest, and reliable service.

Exceptional Care from Dr. Tiwari I recently saw Dr. Tiwari for a steroid injection, and he made the entire experience so much easier than I expected. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and really helped put me at ease. The procedure itself was quick and virtually painless, and I felt confident and well cared for throughout. Dr. Tiwari’s professionalism and calm manner make such a difference — I highly recommend him to anyone looking for compassionate, expert care.

I had a very positive experience when I recently attended Glasgow Private Clinic for an ENT consultation with Dr Grimmond. The care given to me during my consultation was friendly and reassuring, and I had time to fully explain and discuss my case in a relaxed yet very detailed assessment. The treatment and information I then received was excellent. The friendly and professional reception staff also made me feel comfortable as soon as I arrived, as did the pleasant waiting and consultation rooms.

Really I'm impressed. I met Dr Naushad Ali at a home visit. He seems such a respectable man and it was a pleasure to meet him. I didn't even know he was the director of the clinic and he is known for his good work in the medical field. I had good vibes from him and shook his hand as he listened to me and assessed me without judgment. I definitely would recommend this GP clinic. Thankyou for helping me and prioritising my health!
