Very thorough review of my cardiovascular health with clear explanations. Really helpful, thank you
He dismissed me as if I was wasting his time and didn’t ever offer the support I required to deal with the psychological issues.
I am sorry if you felt I was dismissive and weren’t offered appropriate psychological support. Signposting to support from my colleagues is a key part of my private practice and is particularly relevant for weight management. I provide this information with all medication prescriptions. Please contact my secretary if you wanted to discuss further as it would be important to resolve this.
Professional, informative and reassuring discussion. Prof Datta had looked at test results beforehand which ensured a focused consultation. Very helpful- although I always think of additional questions post the meeting!

A very positive experience, I left the consultation with a clear understanding of the issue and the recommended treatment plan. I’m also happy with the follow-up plan. The online consultation worked really well for me.
