When I first met Dr Basu, I was physically unwell and had lost a lot of weight over a short period of time. I was really scared due to not knowing what was happening to me. Dr Basu was very kind, caring and reassuring in his approach with me. He took the time to listen to me, and give me the reassurance I needed. He immediately knew that I had been misdiagnosed as having GERDs and didn’t need to continue the medication that the NHS kept prescribing me. He spent time explaining what he felt was going on for me and provided a clear treatment plan which also involved referrals for further tests. All of which took place within two weeks of me first seeing him. Dr Basu is very experienced and knowledgeable, he knew what was wrong with me from that first consultation. All of the tests I had all confirmed his original clinical diagnosis. The impact he has had on my life has been huge and I can not thank him enough.
