I had an appointment with Mr Agrawal this morning and was extremely pleased with the care I received. From the moment I arrived, he made me feel listened to, understood and reassured. He was warm, kind and very professional throughout the consultation. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything clearly and patiently, which really helped ease my anxiety and gave me confidence in the treatment plan. I particularly appreciated how compassionate and understanding he was during the appointment. He also performed the Epley manoeuvre for my BPPV and I can already tell it is starting to help, which is such a relief. I left feeling much more hopeful and supported. I am very grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing ENT treatment.

We can’t recommend Mr Agrawal highly enough, the care we received was outstanding. Our 18 year old son had almost all of one of his eardrums missing. Mr Agrawal took time to explain the options and the likelihood of success for the proposed operation. We were particularly impressed with how he explained the risks to an 18 year old who wasn’t entirely paying attention the whole time. Mr Agrawal was very thorough and we never felt rushed at any point. The procedure has been a complete success and that’s now unlocked a career path for our son which wouldn’t have been available otherwise. We are eternally grateful for the care we’ve received from Mr Agrawal.

My partner and I have just agreed that Dr Agrawal is by far the best doctor we have ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable and took his time to put me at ease and explain the outcome of his examination. I am struggling with health anxiety at the moment and with his gentle manner and expertise I not only felt understood for the first time but I have also left the appointment feeling extremely reassured. I would recommend Dr Agrawal to anybody. Thank you very much.
