Mr Lakhani did a procedure to reduce my son’s tonsils. He was really personable and reassuring for my son who was nervous ahead of the procedure. The operation went well and the aftercare was excellent. I’d highly recommend Mr Lakhani!
Mr Lakhani made me feel at ease straight away and reassured me that the surgery had been successful. He also gave advice on which activities could be resumed and ones to be more cautious with. He also gave advice on scar healing. All in all a very positive experience and could not recommend Mr Lakhani enough. Thank you for everything.
Raj is a really good doctor. He seems really caring and he always listens to all my concerns, when he has been explaining my symptoms or my diagnosis he’s been really thorough and patient and explains everything in a way that I understand and I feel genuinely listened to. Great experience.
Quite simply the best ENT consultant. I’ve had decades of issues - but Mr Lakhani has transformed my airways.
He was very friendly and approachable. I felt like he really knew what he was doing and was very good at his job. He was such a lovely person, and you could feel really comfortable around him. You could ask him anything without feeling awkward or uncomfortabl
I visited with my son because he was having trouble sleeping. He was constantly breathing through his mouth, even after he had undergone an adenoidectomy last year. Dr. Lakhani also recommended removing my son’s tonsils to further improve his sleep. I was initially a little hesitant about this, but he reassured me that it would benefit my son, and he was right—it made a noticeable difference. I'm very pleased and couldn't ask for better results. Dr. Lakhani was very communicative and never pressured me into having surgery for my son. He took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood all of the available options. I truly appreciated his patience, professionalism, and compassionate approach.
Mr. Lakhani was fantastic throughout. He was extremely friendly, professional and clearly very experienced, taking the time to explain everything and putting us completely at ease. His secretary was also excellent, always responsive, helpful and efficient, making the whole process run very smoothly. I am especially grateful to Mr. Lakhani for going above and beyond to fit our son's surgery into his already busy schedule. He made every effort to accommodate us so that the operation could take place before our family holiday, meaning we didn't have to cancel our plans. We really appreciated the extra effort he made on our behalf. I couldn't recommend Mr. Lakhani highly enough. Thank you to him and his team for the outstanding care and service.
Very clear and thorough. Initial enquiry was regarding nasal issues & felt I received the best care and options available
I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Ray Lakhani. From my very first appointment, he was extremely attentive, patient, and genuinely focused on understanding my concerns. He took the time to listen carefully and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Lakhani explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions in a thorough and professional manner. His recommendations were thoughtful and practical, which gave me great confidence in the treatment plan. He also performed my operation with exceptional skill and care. Throughout the entire process, I felt well-informed, reassured, and in very capable hands. The procedures went smoothly, and the follow-up care was just as attentive and supportive. I am truly grateful for the excellent care I received. Dr. Ray Lakhani is not only highly skilled and professional but also compassionate and dedicated to his patients. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.
Excellent rhinologist and great doctor. I refer him patients who need complex and / or cosmetic nasal surgery. Very good communicator and keeps me informed of their progress. I had great feedback
