Excellent manner and superb knowledge. Made me feel confident and cared for. Genuinely interested and clear in his formulation and planning.
I am incredibly happy with the ongoing treatment and guidance I have received from Dr Pakrashi. He is not only exceptionally courteous, polite, and professional, but also genuinely warm, compassionate, and understanding. I truly appreciate the care, kindness, and support he provides, and I have already been enthusiastically recommending him to my family and friends.
Dr Pakrashi was extremely kind and I appreciated the way he explained everything to me very clearly. I would highly recommend him as an excellent cardiologist.
Discussion of results of three recent cardiac tests carried out at hospital. Excellent detailed explanations and proposals for follow-up in changes in medication.
Exemplary in every way. A real pleasure to meet. Totally professioal but easy to talk to. A person i would enjoy to have as a friend. Superlative consultant!
I returned to Dr. Pakrashi after an 18 month break, as my AF has apparently migrated from paroxysmal to constant. As always, he was charming, friendly and reassuring, as well as quickly putting matters in hand to initiate appropriate interventions. My condition is worrying, but Dr. Pakrashi's manner and effectiveness provide welcome confidence that matters are in hand for a positive outcome. I would certainly recommend him.
Dr Pakrashi is both personable and efficient. He delivered a comprehensive overview of my husband's conditions and engaged us both in an active ongoing management strategy. He also organized with his pa the ordering of my husband's medications. After the consultation Dr Pakrashi compiled my husband's health history and action plan into an easy to read summary.
Dr Pakrashi has been an absolutely amazing doctor and has provided exceptional care and support to my grandmother throughout her cardiology treatment. He has always been willing to help as much as possible, taking the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure that my grandmother receives the best possible care. His kindness, professionalism and dedication have made a huge difference to both my grandmother and our family. We are incredibly grateful for everything Dr Pakrashi has done to help my grandmother with her cardiology problems and for the continued support and guidance he has provided. I would highly recommend Dr Pakrashi to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable and dedicated cardiologist. Thank you for everything you have done for my grandmother!
Dr Pakrashi made me feel totally assured about my heart health, I have complete confidence in his medical advice as he has been very thorough with the tests and he has an excellent manner.
Excellent experience with Dr Pakrashi. He is clearly an expert in the field and very knowledgeable. He is also a very pleasant person and has excellent bedside manner. I felt listened to and heard. Dr Pakrashi addressed all my concerns and did a thourough investigation to understand the cause of my symptoms. I highly recommend Dr Pakrashi!
Tapesh Pakrashi is my go-to cardiologist for any patients who have concerning cardiac symptoms or require a thorough workup in terms of screening or in-depth investigation. The amazing thing about him is his breadth and depth of experience and knowledge. He's like several consultants embodied in a single clinician! He is very detailed and really listens carefully to his patients. I cannot recommend him enough. So, if you have patients who experience palpitations, a wonky-looking ECG, symptoms of breathlessness, dizziness, or who are concerned about their cardiac risk, send them to Tap!
