The experience was excellent. My problem was diagnosed on my previous visit and my Doctor. We had a long discussion as to how things had developed in the 3 months since my previous visit. I could not ask for more care and attention

I chose to see Dr Jayaseelan having read her biography on the BUPA app. From the moment we met and Dr Dipa introduced herself, I felt completely relaxed and happy to be in her care. We discussed how the condition had developed, the requirements that I had in terms of her opinion as to my fitness to return to work and ongoing treatment and medication. Throughout the consultation, absolutely everything was explained clearly and in plain language. I really can’t tell you how professional the whole experience was and I left the hospital in no doubt whatsoever that I was in excellent hands. Finally, just over an hour later, I received a written report of the consultation plus a letter that I’d requested for employment purposes.

Excellent experience, took time to guide me through what she was doing, why she was asking some questions, her initial diagnosis, next steps, and practical advice. Very courteous, very knowledgeable, and very efficient.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
