My first visit to the Spire. HIGHLY satisfied with my experience. Mr James is a lovely man and I felt at ease in his presence. He explained fully all I needed to know about having to have my impacted wisdom tooth removed. Yesterday his medical Secretary phoned me to offer me a cancellation appointment on 20th Nov which I am very pleased with. So far everything has been excellent.
We met Dr. Datta for the first time on my son's appointment at Spire Norwich. He was very welcoming, professional and attentive. He was respectful of my 9 year old son's presence and had a discussion with him directly rather than asking me questions about my son's healthcare needs from start to finish which I found to be very considerate and thoughtful as some people may choose to ignore the child and discuss them as if they're not present. Following this appointment our queries were responded to in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Dr. Datta to anyone seeking a professional Dr. who cares about their patients and good quality healthcare service.
I won’t go into detail about the referral, but the specialist was professional, courteous and thorough.
Dr Datta was exceptionally empathetic, patient and knowledgeable, taking time to listen carefully and explore the wider emotional and psychological aspects of the consultation. His manner was thoughtful, respectful and never patronising, and we came away feeling genuinely listened to and understood.
Very informative with care and professionalism at all times
Dr Datta made both myself and my daughter feel very comfortable. He listened carefully and allowed us to ask any questions we felt we wanted to. My daughter was put very much at ease so much so she felt confident to talk to him herself.
Dr Datta was extremely polite and very kind to our daughter for her appointment.
Thank you for your kind words. I am aware how difficult and stressful it is for children and young people to come to see doctors !
The only thing that springs to mind is that we waited nearly half an hour for our appointment with no apology. Apart from that, Dr Datta was extremely thorough. His main focus was my son as the patient but also took my views into account as a Mother.
For our newborn daughter condition. Needed a 2nd opinion
Skill Endorsements
It gives me great pleasure to write a personal recommendation for Dr Vipan Datta. We have worked closely over the years and I have known him to be a kind hearted and equally astute clinician. He is a senior practising Paediatrician with special interest and expertise in Paediatric Endocrinological conditions. He looks after his paediatric patients very well and demonstrates respect, kindness and consideration to both the child and his/her parents and has a great quality of developing close rapport with all his patients/their parents, who I am sure respect him in return.
