I cannot recommend Professor Lobo enough from the initial meeting to ongoing support it is first class. Simple explanations that I understand and extremely thorough testing after years of lots of unexplained symptoms he was finally able to give me a diagnosis…thank you for all you’ve done and still do for me.

Professor Lobo has been amazing, explaining everything in detail to my Daughter. Both pre-tests on what to expect and post when discussing the results and next steps.

Melvin Lobo and his team provided me with a first-class service throughout. It was easy to arrange the appointment, I was encouraged to give him the relevant information before we met (by which time he had read it thoroughly), and the instructions I received for the appointment itself were thorough and worked very smoothly. He was well on time for the appointment and had a very friendly, down-to-earth manner. Clearly, he has a brain the size of a planet, but he transferred this into completely practical advice. He obviously knows more about blood pressure than all the other consultants I have ever seen, put together. His detailed advice letter arrived by email the following day (the day I am writing this report) and was thoroughly helpful. I recommend him without hesitation. If you are serious about sorting your blood pressure, this is the man to see.
