Dr. Padmanabhan was attentive. He made me feel comfortable and I felt listened to. He clearly explained what I was to do and why.
The doctor was highly professional, patient and attentive. He took the time to listen carefully, understand my concerns, and explain everything clearly and thoroughly. I never felt rushed, and I really appreciated the time and care he took to make sure I understood my situation. I felt listened to, respected and reassured throughout the consultation. I would highly recommend this doctor.
Dr Padmanabhan had an excellent patient centred approach. He explained all findings clearly and with reassurance. He allowed time for questions to be asked and the appointment did not feel rushed. I left the appointment with a clear understanding of plan of care going forward! Thank you
Doctor Hari was very helpful and listened to my problems and concerns thoroughly and advised me appropiately. He has a very good knowledge in his field and he is very calm and professional.
Dr Padmanabhan was extremely helpful and explained everything to me in full.
Dr Padmanabhan was kind and caring, he took the time to explain everything clearly and was very reassuring.
Mr Padmanabhan was firstly sympathetic and this allowed me to be honest about how I was feeling and he genuinely listened and asked many times if I had more questions. The next steps are clear and at last I feel that someone wants to make me better than ignoring my symptoms. Highly recommend.
I could make an appointment within a few days. Dr Padmanabhan had a very good bedside manner. His history taking was very respectful and he was great in addressing all my questions and worries. He was thorough in the clinical exam too. I paid for this consult myself because I did not get anywhere ( or at least within the next months) . I am very glad I did.
An excellent, experineced gastroenterologist and endoscopist with expertise in IBD.
