Mr Dattani was very professional and informative. He explained the medical procedure in a way that was easily understood by me as a non medical professional. During the operation which was done under local anaesthetic, he kept me informed at all times whilst also completing the procedure and managing the nursing staff. I would definitely return to him and as such would have no qualms in recommending him to anyone considering the same procedure.

First class consultant & explained everything well. I was made to wait 35 mins which was disappointing for a private appointment, this is why overall experience marked as good & not excellent

Super efficient, no waiting time, friendly polite and professional from start to finish. Mr Dattani was easy to engage with and made me feel at ease. He explained what was happening to my veins and what the recommended solutions would be as well as expected wait times. There were no negative elements to my consultation.
