My entire experience under Dr Raja's care has been absolutely first class. I can say that without question as I started under NHS care and the difference is stark. Dr Raja kept me informed throughout and in my opinion I have reviewed first class treatment throughout.

Dr Raja was amazing, diagnosed and explained everything in full in 20 mins. I’ve been passed back and forth for 15+ years. He was very caring and really listened to everything I had to say. Alleviated all of my concerns and came up with a test/plan treatment that I actually understood. Highly recommend.

I have had my condition for most of my adult life, my condition remained undiagnosed until I met Dr Raja, his knowledge and experience put me at ease very quickly, he’s is clearly an expert in his field and very quickly recognised my condition and the treatment required, my condition is now under control for the first time in my adult life, my quality of life much improved thanks to Dr Raja, I can’t thank him enough for his care for myself. Absolutely first class!
