Excellent. Five STAR. Absolute confidence in this highly regarded eminent Specialist. Grateful thanks, as ever.
Dr Zar and all his team have been brilliant throughout always trying to go the extra mile in what for me is a very difficult time
Dr Zar and his associate Geraldine Munday were incredibly helpful and responsive. As an American living in London, I was scheduling my first doctors appointment in the UK. Geraldine patiently walked me through the process, always at the ready to answer my questions about scheduling a lower- and upper-GI and what was necessary to prepare. Dr. Zar was informative and thoughtful before, during and after the procedure, and had such a wonderful bedside manner. His sensitive and responsive approach to me as a patience made me feel like I was in the best of hands... which I was! I highly recommend Dr. Zar and his team.
Dr Zar has been treating me for some years. I feel very fortunate to be his patient. He is always most understanding and both explains well and always fully answers my questions.
Happy with the doctor I trust him and he listens
An exceptional consultant who makes you feel at ease immediately with his knowledge and expertise.
Altogether excellent in every way.
I just had a video consultation and he was really good .
