I went to see Dr Parekh as I couldn’t get in to my own GP. Dr Parekh is genuinely warm and understanding, completely understood my symptoms and gave very practical and easy to understand advice … telling me what I should do and equally what I shouldn’t do. Really pleased I saw her and am much more informed about the issue as well as what to do if it doesn’t improve. . I am both impressed and grateful. Thank you

Thank you for your kind review. I am so glad to be able to help.

Excellent. Dr Parekh is both sympathetic and empathetic. She listens well and asks great questions. Practical advice. It is more like a conversation than a consultation.

Thank you so much for your kind review.
Dr Hemali Parekh was very understanding of my concerns for my wife. She not only explained to me the best way to help her, but also explained the reasons for her advice. It was an excellent consultation in every respect, my sincere thanks to the Doctor.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m so pleased I was able to help you both.
Dr Parekh had an excellent knowledge of my condition and had clearly prepared for my appointment. She listened and took everything in. She knew what to do to bring my blood sugar down with a new medication. And she was willing to refer me to a pathway to reversal course. A breath of fresh air. Quite unlike any NHS GP appointment I had ever had on the phone. Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for your kind review. I’m so pleased that my advice was helpful.
Very professional helpful informative and supportive. Everything a great GP should be. Thank you

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad that I was able to help you.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have such a dedicated and compassionate GP in Dr Parekh. From the very first appointment, she has consistently taken the time to listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and look at the bigger picture rather than rushing to quick conclusions. What really stands out is how thorough she is. I always leave appointments feeling reassured, well-informed, and confident in her recommendations. She explains things clearly, involves me in decisions, and provides guidance that feels both considered and genuinely personalised. Her approach is not only professional but deeply caring. In a time when healthcare can often feel pressured and impersonal, she brings a level of empathy and attentiveness that is truly rare. I’ve never felt dismissed or rushed, and that makes a huge difference. She has also been wonderful with my young son, treating him with the same kindness, patience, and attention to detail. It’s incredibly reassuring as a parent to know he’s in such safe and capable hands. I trust her completely and feel very well supported under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a GP who combines clinical excellence with genuine compassion. I now request to see her only where possible, as I feel cared for and appreciate her approach greatly.

What a lovely review-thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words. I am so glad I have been able to help you and your son.
