Explanation

Dr Rakshi epitomises everything a doctor should be; knowledgeable, approachable, kind, compassionate, a good listener and communicator and an excellent clinician. He took the time to really listen to my history and was quickly able to diagnose my condition. He maintained regular contact to ensure my investigations were happening in a timely manner and to report on the results. I am so grateful for his care and attention. I would highly recommend him!

Dr Rakshi is very helpful, communicative and has taken a keen interest in solving my medical problems. He spotted that my symptoms may be related to an underlying condition outside his field and made a referral to another specialist who I am equally happy with. Thank you for all your help!

Explanation

Dr Rakshi is an exceptional neurologist with a detailed knowledge of a wide spectrum of neurological conditions. My case was highly complex and he took a forensic approach to understand all the core issues underlying my condition. This enabled him to diagnose a condition that had been missed by every other neurologist and was, in fact, treatable. He is incredibly patient and understanding and he explained every step of his analysis in a clear and accessible way. He was candid with his thoughts and provided all the information I needed to make the right decisions about my treatment. I cannot praise Dr Rakshi enough and I am very grateful to him for the significant improvement in my health.

Dr Rakshi has provided me with an incredible amount of support through what has been a very difficult time. He is both professional and caring, with an excellent bedside manor. He has been very thorough in running the appropriate tests towards identifying what is wrong with me, demonstrating expertise and reasoning at every step. He takes time in explaining the meaning of things if I don’t understand, making sure that I never feel left in the dark. He also works through the significance of test results and what they mean in terms of the next steps. He has also kept in frequent contact outside our appointments, updating me as new results have come through, which I have greatly appreciated. Thank you for everything Dr Rakshi!

Explanation

Dr James Rakshi is unusual in being able to both be extremely professional and knowledgeable while being approachable and treating me as an equal as he gave detailed informed explanations. He was also able to empathise with the pain I was in, acting swiftly to arrange tests and results communicating directly rather than through an assistant making the care he provides seem more personal.

Explanation

Dr James Rakshi is the best doctor I have ever met. No aspect of my care was too much trouble. He is highly competent and knowledgable, as well as able to be honest about uncertainties in diagnosis. He thinks outside the box regarding complex problems and enigmas and is highly collaborative in deciding a best course of action. He can balance the need for intrusive tests and scans with the importance of accepting unknowns. Of special note is that during the period of my consultations with Dr Rakshi, I was hospitalised and he kept in touch with me during that period with excellent and helpful explanations and suggestions. I have never felt pressurised in respect of time, and he is prompt and professional. He is confident in considering the individual and their presentation and needs, albeit aware of the general profession's stances. I have recommended him to others, and he was specifically helpful in respect of dilemmas regarding the COVID-19 vaccines for those with complex neurological histories. Thank you SO much, Dr Rakshi!

James Rakshi is an excellent neurologist and has a lovely bedside manner. He is extremely thorough and an excellent diagnostician. He exhausted every avenue possible, before coming to a concreate diagnosis, that many other consultants had missed over the years. He has kept in regular contact with me whilst in his care, and coordinated a team of consultants working in various fields on my behalf. I would highly recommend him

Explanation

Having seen Dr Rakshi 10 years ago, when my partner needed to see a Neurologist, I was pleased to find that he was still practicing. My partner was very ill and having already seen other consultants under various medical specialties, who were unable to diagnose his symptoms, we went to see Dr Rakshi. From the moment we walked in we were put at ease with his manner. He examined my partner and listened to the extensive medical history, although we had all my partner’s clinical letters, reports, and blood results. He told us his initial thoughts on diagnosis, which feel into 3 illness and full explanations of tests that may need to be completed and the reasons why the tests were required. He spent a few days reviewing my partner’s medical history to ensure he was arranging for the correct scans, etc. Over the following 3 weeks he was with us every step of the way pushing for test whether privately or within the NHS, being at the end of an email or the telephone and ensuring when my partner was at his lowest that he was admitted under the NHS, as he needed to be in an environment that would be able to complete various scans and test on one site. My partner and I are forever grateful to Dr Rakshi,, for his support and his passion and not giving up until he had completed the puzzle and has continued to support even though my partner is under the NHS. The only issue we had with Dr Rakshi was the football team he supports but we forgive him for that😊
