I Immediately felt at ease when Mr Thakur collected me from the waiting area. He was very pleasant and genuinely interested in me. He explained everything very well. My consultation and ultrasound were on the same day and I had the results immediately. All of the staff I encountered on my visit were very nice and I had spoken to Dr Thakur’s secretary prior to my appointment and she was also very kind and helpful.
Mr Thakur took time to hear me out and my experiences, he was very gentle and understanding. He wasted no time and had me booked in for an ultrasound within minutes and saw me straight after for my results
Straight in to see Mr Thakur, straight in for an ultrasound also and back to get results.
