I wish all doctors were like Mr Khatwa. Made you feel at ease at every meeting. kind, considerate and explained things very well. My only issue, which is not Mr Khatwa fault, but i had difficulty getting my doctors to convert Mr Khatwa's prescription to NHS prescriptions. Maybe in the future if Mr Khatwa could email the patients doctors with instructions of what prescription he would like issued.

Explanation

Mr Khatwa carefully examined my broken nose, and suggested I tried medication for 3 months before considering any surgery. The medication relieved my breathing and sleeping issues somewhat, but not adequately, so he proposed surgery. This completely resolved the issue, and I now breathe more easily and sleep at night better than before! An excellent result for me and I highly recommend Mr Khatwa.
