About

Founded to close a gap.

Surgical patients should arrive at theatre prepared and leave with a structured recovery, not the absence of one. We were founded in January 2022 by Dr Hanieh Asadi to build the clinical pathway that ought to sit around every private operation — pre-op preparation, post-op monitoring, and a single point of contact with a CQC-registered clinical team. We've delivered care for 400+ patients across five London hospitals since.

Clinical leadership

Physician-led, governance-first.

Every clinical decision is reviewed by the leadership team. The wider clinical service operates under their oversight.
