Dr Naqvi was thorough, kind, and very clear — she listened carefully to all my worries, explained every number simply, and gave us total peace of mind. Thanks for her advice and reassurance.
We would like to sincerely thank Dr Naqvi for the exceptional care she has provided since our daughter was just 4 years old. Now, as she is nearly 17 and transitioning to adult cardiology, we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done over the years. She has always been supportive, compassionate, and professional. At every appointment, she took the time to explain everything clearly, gave us reassurance, and filled us with hope and positive energy. She looked after our daughter with genuine care and kindness, and always made me, as her mum, feel relieved and confident that my daughter was in the best hands.
