Reviews
Extremely helpful doctor
Thank you for taking the time to submit the review. I really appreciate it. Wishing you all the best.
I was very impressed with Dr Shanthi who really covered everything extremely well. She was very kind and very helpful I also believe she that she goes above and beyond when looking after her clients. It was definitely a very good experience.
Thank you very much for your kind word. I really appreciate your comments. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. I appreciate it. Best wishes Shanthi Paramothayan
Dr Paramothayan was polite, friendly and easy to talk to.
Thank you for your review. I appreciate it. Wishing you all the best. Shanthi Paramothayan
She was very professional and very knowledgeable, however because of that I was expecting the whole process to be more proactive. She did not have results from the previous process in the NHS hospital (not that I was expecting her to have them, however if I am asked in advance I could have potentially got them). So in the end I paid the insurance provider to be told that nothing could be done privately. Again, the consultation was fine, however I came out from it with the same knowledge (about the situation) I had from the NHS hospital.
I am sorry that I did not have the results of your investigations done in the NHS. I do not have access to that. I hope that you are now well. Wishing you all the best.
Dr Paramothayan was the only Doctor in 18 months that listened to and considered my symptoms. She ran tests to be sure of all her thought processes and explained everything thoroughly at every step. Despite being sure of her findings she still referred me for a second opinion to make sure she hadn’t missed anything. I can’t thank Dr Paramothayan enough for her care and treatment throughout the year of me being under her care. I wish she was able to specialise in the entire body so that I could see her for other medical issues.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope that you are keeping well. With best wishes, Dr. Shanthi Paramothayan
I recently visited Dr Paramothanyan to discuss a concerning medical condition I have with her, and to get advice on how it can be treated, She was extremely thorough and asked me many questions in order to diagnose the issue I was suffering from. She was really nice and patient with me, and I would like to personally recommend her to anyone. Many thanks again, Mark A

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope that with my help and that of colleagues, we can improve your health. Best wishes, Dr. Shanthi Paramothayan
Dr Paramothayan was very detailed and diligent in her explanation of the causes of my condition and the path she put me on ended nearly two years of very unpleasant lung difficulties. She was particularly good at following up on interventions and maintaining contact with me to ensure my return to health had been sustained.
