Fine. On time. Cheerful and took time to discuss his findings, explain options and decide the way forward.
Clear explanantion on everything and no rush to complete everything
Overall it was excellent though my blood tests left me with quite a substantial bruise which has never happened at this hospital before. I got my results swiftly and always seem to be met with kindness and consideration.X
Dr Rakhit is an outstanding Cardiologist and he is thorough, listens to all one's concerns and questions and deals with them to one's total satisfaction.
Dr Rakhit was extremely sympathetic and is someone who really listens to the patient. We discussed the possible ways forward, depending on the test results, and I was very happy with his cautious approach. He was also very helpful in suggesting that I ask for Andrew to take my blood, as his expertise made this experience much less stressfull for me than it usually is.
