Dr Baburaj took all the time needed to find out why I was there. He was patient, explained everything as he saw it and he did a diagnostic blood test. I thought he was fantastic and I am so happy I saw him. Thank you Dr Baburaj
We discussed the results of recent investigations.Everything was explained clearly and what needed to do to correct deficits
I met Dr Krishna Baburaj for the first time yesterday at Bishops Wood Hospital, Northwood and I left feeling calmer and more hopeful than I have in a while. From the moment I walked into his room, I felt completely at ease. He has a calm presence that is difficult to describe, but it immediately put me in a better place. He listened carefully, explained things clearly, and everything he said made sense. I never felt rushed or dismissed. What stood out most was his kindness. His manner, his thoughtful approach, and even the warmth in his eyes made me feel genuinely cared for as a person, not just as a patient. In medicine, knowledge and qualifications are essential, but the ability to make a patient feel safe, heard, and understood is much rarer. Dr Baburaj has both. As someone who can be anxious about health issues, I left the appointment feeling reassured and confident. That is a rare gift. I am extremely grateful to have found such an exceptional rheumatologist and would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you from Monika, your 5pm Bishops Wood Northwood patient.
