5
Thorough and compassionate consultation
5
Dr Tarzi was very thorough and promptly sent a very detailed letter with outcomes from the appointment. The form to fill in beforehand helped as it is sometimes hard to remember everything to say in the moment.
5
I found Dr Tarzi a pleasure to deal with. He listened carefully to my symptoms and then walked me through the different treatment options available whilst answering my questions. At no point did I feel rushed or pressured into agreeing a particular treatment plan, which has been my experience with other doctors in the past. Overall it was a great experience and I’m really pleased that I selected Dr Tarzi as my consultant.
5
Very reassuring and I felt listened to. Feel like I am now on the correct path to finding out what is wrong. Really valued his knowledge and experience.
5
He was really easy to talk to, listened to all my concerns and questions. He made me feel immediately at ease when he offered to wear a mask as I was. He gave really easy to understand explanations and checked that I was happy with the consult.
5
Both my wife and I found Dr Tarzi to be amiable and attentive. His explanations relating to my condition were reassuring. His follow-up account of the consultation was accurate and received quickly.
5
I felt that he let me explain my situation and then advised why I could have experienced what I had gone through. Every test was well explained and it didn’t feel like I was rushed or unimportant (which can be the case in certain medical situations).
5
Friendly. Listened well. Explained plan of action/further tests clearly.
5
Dr Tarzi was able to give me a firm diagnosis on my first appointment. He answered all my questions and gave me advice & training to help me keep as safe as possible in the future.
