Dr Tarzi was very clear and strighforward with his information. He listened well and investigated what he thought was necessary there and then. I am also being sent for a blood test to rule out all possibilities, no matter how low the chances, so I felt this was very thorough.

Excellent service from Doctor Tarzi, listened to my symptoms and explained treatment in detail. After years of no real help from the NHS it felt like the only option was to consult a private specialist. Would definitely recommend Dr Tarzi.
