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. Thank you for the outstanding care, dedication, and kindness you have shown our family over the years. We will always be grateful and wish you all the very best.

Dr Naqvi was very friendly and welcoming. She calmed my daughter’s anxiety and listened to everything she said. We understood everything that was explained clearly and we felt we had a plan of action no matter what the results of the tests are. I would recommend Dr Naqvi to anyone who feels frustrated from not being listened to from other doctors.
