Dunia is a superb and very diligent doctor, she is personable and kind. I would highly recommend and would definitely without a doubt use again. Many thanks Dr Ismail.
Dr Ismail has been nothing short of amazing in our journey to try and work out what might be going on with our son. She has been incredibly thorough, kind and helpful every step of the way and we are so grateful to be under her care.
We had a blood test and u/s today. All staff were kind, explained each step of the tests and did their utmost to make my child feel at ease. The facilities are spotless and everyone is so friendly. Such a brilliant clinic.
Very satisfied with our consultations. Very welcoming and very approachable. Thorough in their approach and delivery of findings. Thoughtfull, kind and empathetic. An excellent medical professional.
Our family have received excellent care for our young daughter from Dr Ismail. She has a great rapport with children and has helped us find answers to complex health questions. I would highly recommend her as a consultant and felt very reassured under her expertise.
Excellent apts. Dr Ismail has really listened to all our concerns and given us the time to consider all issues and options.
One of the best doctors that has ever seen my son. Dr Ismail is not only very professional but she is loving, attentive and caring. She speaks directly to your child and really listens (not all doctors do that) and she puts the parents mind's at easy by the way she explains everything. Her aura and energy are so positive, you can feel that she really cares. I could not recommend high enough.
We saw Dr Ismail in Brighton. Absolutely an amazing, lovable doctor with attention to detail. Willing to listen and to work with both mother and child to find answers. First time we felt really heard for something that we have been batling for quite sometime. It has been a very frustrating journey as we felt unheard and cast aside by the NHS, for them everything is normal and my child is just "dramatic". She was very attentive and we could tell she truly cares. I cannot speak highly enough. We are very lucky to have found her.
