Dr Bhavna Jaiswal
PsychologistDr Naqvi is a fantastic colleague for many years at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals with great enthusiasm and empathy with paediatric and adolescent young patients with cardiac conditions. Her interaction with those super curious youngsters and their families is amazing and makes it so easy and comfortable for me to follow up her amazing work once those youngsters reach adulthood and need to be seen by an adult cardiologist. Knowing each other so well as specialists makes makes life with a chronic condition for affected family members so much easier, and compliance so much better!
