I cannot recommend Professor Dashora highly enough. From the moment I met him, he was professional, compassionate and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, thoroughly review my medical history and explain everything in a way that was clear and easy to understand. After what has been a very worrying and challenging time with my health, his knowledge, attention to detail and calm, reassuring manner made an enormous difference. I felt genuinely listened to, taken seriously and confident that I was in the best possible hands. It is rare to find a consultant who combines such exceptional expertise with such kindness and empathy. I am incredibly grateful for the care he has provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking an endocrinologist who truly goes above and beyond for their patients.

I found Professor Dashora very clear and helpful. I would prefer not to have heard the news that I have a small tumour but he took time to explain possible outcomes and timescales. I understand that he has set up further monitoring in 6 months at my local hospital.

I had previously only been in contact with Dr Dashora via video link. It was so much better to converse directly. He was very professional and pleasant to talk to.

I came to Professor Dashora at a time when I was struggling to get clear answers and appropriate support elsewhere. From my first appointment, he took my concerns seriously, arranged the necessary investigations promptly and gave me some much-needed clarity and reassurance. He also went above and beyond outside the appointments themselves, which I greatly appreciated. Professor Dashora was always professional, approachable and clearly very knowledgeable. While I would have appreciated a little more clarity around ongoing follow-up, overall I am extremely grateful for his help. His involvement came at a time when I really needed it and made a significant difference.

Extremely satisfied from start to finish. This is the second time I’ve been to see Professor Umesh Dashora and I cannot fault the experience in any way. The booking process was delightful and very professional. Professor Umesh was extremely thorough and attentive and took time to explain everything to me, read through my notes thoroughly and left no stone unturned. He listened to all my concerns and made me feel very at ease. I cannot recommend him enough. The first visit was equally as good.
