AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Sarah Elkin demonstrates clear communication and a knowledgeable approach during patient interactions. She conducts thorough examinations and provides diagnoses, explaining procedures such as diagnostic tests for lung and heart health. Patients consistently express confidence in her decision-making and feel listened to, finding her treatment plans effective. Key patient conditions managed encompass breathlessness, asthma, chest infections, lung function tests, and CT scans.
We had an excellent experience with Dr Elkin. She arranged all the necessary investigations promptly, and thoroughly reviewed the results before referring my daughter on for ongoing management. She was kind, reassuring, and took the time to put Evie at ease. Her advice was practical, knowledgeable, and has given us confidence in managing Evie’s respiratory issues. We are very grateful for the high standard of care and would highly recommend her.
Dr Elkin was a breath of fresh air. She was highly professional, listened, explained things clearly and very supportive. I would highly recommend her.
The consultations for lung and heart health met all my expectations. The diagnostic tests were performed on site using apparently state of the art equipment and competent staff. I cannot think of anything that was deficient or that would be a necessary to improve.
I feel very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Elkin, I have the utmost faith in her diagnosis and treatment of my COPD.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It is good to get feedback on ones approach and practice
Marvellous consultant. Kind, clear, attentive and helpful.
Very thorough consultation, no rush. Everything discussed and explained. Felt I was being listened to and taken care of.
Dr Sarah Elkin is one of the first people to listen to me about my asthma. I now feel hopeful that it can be controlled
An incredibly caring, compassionate and diligent specialist who has looked after both of my parents for many years. She always goes above and beyond and out of her way to ensure that they receive exceptional care. I am yet to come across another doctor who possesses Dr Elkin’s natural ability to put patients at ease by conveying information pragmatically and in a calm and comforting manner. I am extremely confident in her expertise in the field of Respiratory medicine and would strongly recommend her as the first point of call for anyone with a chronic lung condition or unexplained respiratory symptoms such as cough or shortness of breath.
Dr Elkin was very kind and helpful during the consultation. She explained everything very clearly
