AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr. Rajiv Chandy is a professional and reassuring specialist, always ensuring patients feel listened to and providing thorough examinations. His clear explanations lead to accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans for procedures like colonoscopy and ERCP. Patients frequently seek his expertise for abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and require diagnostic procedures like colonoscopy and endoscopy.
Dr Chandy has been nothing short of incredible. After receiving multiple, and at times quite worrying, potential diagnoses from nurses, doctors and even my own GP, alongside the long NHS waiting times, I decided to seek help from Dr Chandy privately. From my very first consultation, he has been incredibly reassuring. He has taken the time to make sure all the appropriate tests are carried out and has given me detailed explanations of the potential causes, ensuring I understand everything along the way. At a time when I felt particularly vulnerable and anxious about my health, Dr Chandy has provided not only expert care but also genuine reassurance and really valuable advice. I cannot thank him enough for the time, care and support he has given me. I would highly recommend Dr Chandy to anyone looking for a compassionate, thorough and reassuring doctor.

A true professional. Great knowledge. Clear diagnosis and treatment plan. First class.
Excellent care and attention to finding the issue Explained the process thoughtfully and with great understanding
Wonderful appointment with Dr Chandy-unfortunately no one in the admin team had actually checked if my biopsy results were in and so it was a 50 mile trip for very little. I cannot praise Dr Chandy enough but he is being let down by poor admin support.
Professional and everything was explained in really good detail.
Very helpful, professional and empathetic doctor, thank you!
A quietly spoken individual that will explain everything to the finest degree. I can’t believe the luck I had finding this gentleman to help me with my condition. A great choice for someone who wants the best from someone so calm.
