I cannot praise him highly enough. His care is absolutely outstanding. We use the expression "going the second mile." He goes the third and fourth. He is obviously caring, interested and involved. I trust him.

Dr Rismani is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. He has been so lovely throughout my whole cancer journey- always checking up on me, especially in the early days before I started chemotherapy. The care he provides is really high quality and he truly feels for his patients. Always there when I need him and always answers my sometimes silly questions. Thanks to him I am now getting back on my feet and have (hopefully) beaten cancer. I will always be grateful to Dr Rismani and will recommend him to anyone that may need his help. He was there for me through every step of the journey and I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏻🤍

Bedside Manner/Professionalism
5.00
Explanation

Dr Rismani has the perfect ‘bedside manner’. He shows respect for me as an individual, as well as for my intelligence. He tells me ‘like it is’,and doesn’t seek to minimise the risks or harsh realities of my condition or its treatment. I therefore trust his prognoses and reassurances. He is clearly respected by all of his colleagues, with whom he promptly consults when complex queries arise. Above all, he responds very promptly to my calls and queries, often within minutes,( though I try very hard not to trouble him unnecessarily). This protects me from undue worry - and reassures me that my appropriate care is his highest priority. Having experienced my original diagnosis within the NHS at the onset of the nurse’s strike, the contrast in my care could not be greater. Dr Rismani does not strut about displaying a delicate and inflated ego, (despite his excellence as a haematologist). He exudes a love and respect for his fellow man, which is in itself curative. I cannot thank him enough for his excellent expertise and care.

Explanation

I could not be happier with my choice of Consultant. Dr. Rismani is competent, thorough, warm, engaging and patient. He always responded almost immediately to every question I had. He sent me countless articles and clinical research when I wanted to dig deeper into treatment options, and it was very clear that he is a subject matter expert on all things Hematology related. He requested additional testing beyond what my NHS consultant recommended, which resulted in a different diagnosis and different treatment. I’m so grateful for Dr. Rismani’s thoroughness and care. He genuinely cares about his patients and works tirelessly to advocate for us. I’m very grateful to Dr. Rismani for looking after me and I’m pleased to say that 12 months later I’m still in remission. If you’re debating which Consultant to go with, you’d be remiss to not at least book an initial consultation with Dr. Rismani. You’ll see for yourself how excellent he is. He’s also just a great human being and a joy to chat to, which makes a big difference when you’re going through something as unpleasant as cancer.
