Dr Shaukat has been invaluable in helping to diagnose my gut issues. He has been thorough and meticulous in diagnosing my issues.

I found Dr Shaukat to be very kind, he listened to my concerns and did not judge. He was thorough, knowledgable and helpful.
Very clear and concise, no messing type of attitude. There is a level of confidence which he inspires but bedside manner is somewhat lacking. Quite straight forward rather than anxiety reducing..
Wonderful experience with the doctor and his medical team - couldn’t have been more professional and considerate
