I cannot rate Professor Chakravorty any less than excellent. He listens to my concerns and takes then seriously. When I leave my consultation with him I always feel optimistic and hopeful about my condition. I see him regularly and he doesn’t mind if I text him. He always texts back.

Since my last sleep apnoea review with Dr Chakravorty, I have suffered an unprovoked pulmonary embolism. Dr C took time to explain the implications on my apnoea and told me to be extra vigilant when my Apixaban is discontinued.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
