Ms Uppal was very professional and made me feel very comfortable discussing my medical problem. I highly recommend her
Ms Uppal treated my daughters Ganglian Cyst. It was in a really awkward place on her hand and causing a lot of pain. Ms Uppal provided excellent support, reassurance and successful removed the cyst
It could not have been better. Clear, calm and informed every step of the way. I felt the experience could not have been improved upon.
I went to Dr Uppal with a severe Diastasis Recti following a twin pregnancy which was causing me extreme stomach aches, back ache and neck ache. Dr Uppal is gentle, understanding and very knowledgable. She performed an abdominoplasty surgery where she stitched my muscles back together and removed my excess skin from the pregnancy. The scar is much smaller than others I have seen and it is done neatly and is the very best I could hope for. The stitches are incredibly seamless and the scar really thin compared to what I have seen! The repair is done incredibly strong. I had to be active much sooner than advised through lack of support for my 1 year olds, however this did not affect my outcome. I feel amazing now, all pains and aches gone and this surgery has changed my life, increased the quality of my life and abled me to care for my children. I cant thank her enough.
Very professional. Personal yet direct. An extremely safe pair of hands and one I completely trust.
I had a great experience with Ms. Uppal. She was incredibly professional, kind, and made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to listen and explained everything clearly. I truly appreciate her expertise and caring approach. Highly recommend!
Miss Uppal is amazing. she took a mess of a finger that two other people didn’t want to touch and worked miracles . Not miracle actually just expertise and hard work. My hand physio agrees it is the best work she has seen.
Dr Uppal had a positive attitude and can do spirit, was caring and compassionate and always explained everything well to me whatever the questions I had regarding my hand injury and any possible treatment I may need.
Extremely professional, excellent surgeon, with a kind caring nature. I am very happy with the results.
