Dr Shoaib was very reassuring during the consultations. He recommended a complete set of heart tests to put my mind at rest and explained the results clearly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Shoaib to anyone.

Excellent from start to finish. Delighted i picked him from my bupa list. From initial consultation at a closer location to me to the procedure at the Wellington his care was second to none and i will be forever in his debt as the guy who fixed my heart when it was quite the unsettling surprise that i needed it fixing.
