Dr Kavoor, always takes time to explain his reasoning and diagnosis, explores possible medications, and tweaks them on review if necessary. He listens to your concerns and reassures, he doesnt just dismiss symptoms like a lot of doctors; he explores every avenue, before coming to a diagnosis. He is an excellent doctor.
I have never felt so immediately understood before, the expertise around sleep and mental health were exactly what I'd been trying to articulate but unable to for so long, and Dr Kavoors ability to pin point exactly what I needed and explain to me why was truly uplifting for me in a really dark time.
I have had sleep disorder issues for many years, After I spoke to Dr Kovoor about the pain I was having with my rheumatoid arthritis he addressed the issues I was also having with my sleep. It was a relief to finally have someone who took my other issues seriously; namely insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. I wasn’t even aware of these sleep disorders and just thought it was something I had to live with. I believe that Dr Kovoor’s unique background and knowledge in Sleep disorders is the reason my issues were addressed and are being treated. I have always felt ‘seen’ and listened to by Dr Kovoor which obviously builds trust. I am grateful for his expertise and his continued commitment to my health.

Thank you - it's been an absolute pleasure to have been able to understand and help with your sleep and health issues.
My father and I have both been seeing Dr Kavoor for a couple of years now . He is an absolutely brilliant GP. Diligent, Thorough and attentive. I feel that we are in good and capable hands. Dr Kavoor is very good clinically and also has excellent communication skills. He often goes above and beyond. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is by far the best GP we have ever had.

Thank you so much! - those are truly the kindest words and I have been very glad to have been working with both of you over these years.
A very informative and intelligent doctor. He explained things very clearly and concisely. He also understood my situation and was extremely sympathetic.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback.
I’m very glad that my local GP have this lovely professional and kind doctor! Well done.

Thank you for your kind words - very happy to be helping you with your sleep and overall health.
Dr Kovoor has really helped me with the sleep issues I've been experiencing. He took the time originally to listen to my concerns about previous medication that wasn't working for me and the impact it was having on my sleep, recommended a course of treatment that has been incredibly helpful, and has now given me a clear plan to taper back off

So glad to hear that it’s been helpful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review/feedback. Dr Kovoor
Dr Kovoor has been helping me with my insomnia and he has been really helpful and kind throughout. He’s taken extra time and care to go further into the issues I’ve been having and genuinely try to help, rather than just coming up with a quick fix and sending me on my way. He articulates his reasonings and suggestions clearly so that I understand the process every step of the way and am not left wondering what is going on with my care.

It’s been a pleasure helping you with your insomnia - thank you for your kind words. Dr Kovoor
I just wanted to leave positive feedback for the doctor who saw me today in A&E/Urgent Care. He was calm, thorough and reassuring, and took the time to properly listen to my concerns without making me feel dismissed or rushed. I came in quite anxious about my breathing symptoms and left feeling much clearer and more confident about the treatment plan. I really appreciated the professionalism and kindness shown during the appointment.

🙏 My pleasure. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Dr Joshua Kovoor
