Dr Chattree was fabulous! He really put me at ease straight away with his manner. I was particularly impressed with Dr Chattree’s holistic approach, I felt he left no stone unturned and had a real desire to get to the root cause of the problem. Dr Chattree was incredibly pleasant, non-judgemental, caring and supportive, he also didn’t jump to invasive tests which I liked. Dr Chattree offered to do a number of different non-invasive tests for me and I really appreciate that. I highly recommend this Consultant, I am yet to receive results and continue my healthcare journey but so far I am very impressed.

I can’t thank Dr Chattree enough for the care and support I received today for my first appointment. I felt listened to, reassured and completely confident that I was in safe hands. The whole process could have been incredibly daunting, but Dr Chattree took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all of my questions and make sure I understood what was happening at every stage. I always felt that my concerns were taken seriously and that I was genuinely cared for as an individual, rather than just another patient. The investigation process and the thought of needing surgery were understandably worrying for me, but Dr Chattree professionalism, kindness and reassurance made such a difference. I’m incredibly grateful for the expertise and care I have received so far. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Chattree to anyone who finds themselves needing investigations or surgery. I’m so grateful to have been under his care and couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far.

I had an excellent experience with Dr Chattree. He took the time to break down my diagnosis in simple terms and explained my situation, options and possible outcomes in great detail. I never felt rushed, and most importantly, I felt genuinely heard and listened to. He was thorough, compassionate and reassuring, and I really appreciated how clearly he explained everything to me. He also immediately referred me for surgery, significantly reducing the waiting time I had previously been given through the NHS. I’m extremely grateful for the care, professionalism and reassurance he provided. I would highly recommend Dr Chattree to anyone looking for a doctor who takes the time to genuinely listen and ensure their patient understands their care.

After struggling with unexplained health issues for a long time, Dr. Chattree was the first doctor who truly listened to my concerns and took them seriously.Instead of dismissing my symptoms, they were incredibly thorough, ordered the right tests, and accurately diagnosed me with coeliac disease. Their knowledge, professionalism, and compassionate bedside manner made an incredibly stressful situation much easier to navigate.Thanks to their expertise, I finally have answers and am well on my way to recovery

Visited Mr Chattree on short notice regarding an infection in the ileum which required a colonoscopy. Dr Chattree explained everything in detail and gave all the precautions needed before the treatment, and I had no problems following the treatment.
