I recently went for a first consultation with Dr Selvapatt and was immensely impressed both by his expertise and his empathy. I was extremely anxious about a medical issue - Dr Selvapatt immediately understood the potential problem and the reasons for my anxiety. He was extremely reassuring and explained the likely causes of the issue and the possible tests and treatments very clearly. Throughout the tests I needed Dr Nowlan explained each step carefully and put me completely at ease. Afterwards he summed up the medical issues with great patience and kindness- and I left the consultation feeling so glad that I had been able to see Dr Selvapatt. He really is an outstanding doctor. Dr Selvapatt's PA Natasha is both very efficient and extremely helpful and kind.

Really grateful for his support. I've tried os many things to lose weight over the years but only his advise stuck! I lost 20+kg in 6 months and completely reversed my fatty liver issues. He spent time explaining things in a way I'd understand and also gave me a plan for the next phase of my health journey.
