Dr Saira Bano exhibits professionalism, provides information, and ensures patients feel listened to and understood. Patients commend her knowledge and clear explanations regarding various treatments, including weight management using GLP-1 medication and implications of switching medications like Wegovy. Consultations are quick, efficient, and compassionate, making patients feel at ease during their appointments. Support for weight management and Mounjaro injections is a key theme, often provided via video consultations and general health assessments.
I recently had a weight loss consultation with Dr Saigon Bano and came away feeling incredibly reassured and supported. Dr Bano took the time to listen to my journey, celebrate my progress, and explain the science behind long-term weight management in a clear and compassionate way. What I appreciated most was the focus on sustainable maintenance rather than just reaching a number on the scales. Dr Bano explained how dose reductions can be managed safely, what to expect during the process, and the importance of finding the lowest effective dose for long-term success. The consultation was informative, reassuring and empowering. It was also lovely to meet Dr Bano face-to-face. I left feeling confident about the next stage of my journey and supported in my long-term health goals. Highly recommended.
I had a Mounjaro maintenance consultation with Dr Bano and came away feeling extremely positive about the experience. From the start, her manner was warm, approachable and reassuring. She took the time to listen properly, understand my goals and provide advice that felt personalised to my situation. Dr Bano was incredibly knowledgeable, but also explained things in a clear and practical way. I really appreciated how supportive and encouraging she was — she helped motivate me, gave me confidence in my progress, and provided some great ideas and guidance for moving forward with maintenance. We discussed how to approach future ordering, managing potential breaks in treatment and having a sustainable plan, while reassuring me that support would be available if I needed it. I never felt rushed, and the consultation felt like a genuine conversation with someone who cared about helping me achieve the best long-term outcome. The £30 consultation felt well worth the investment for the expertise, reassurance and clarity it provided. I also really value the wider Swift Doctor service, including the straightforward online process and the combined knowledge of both a doctor and pharmacist. I would highly recommend Dr Bano — she is professional, compassionate and genuinely committed to supporting her patients.

I had 2 video appointments with Dr Bano, she was incredibly supportive, treated me as an individual and didn't push a one size fits all narrative. I felt so cared for and listened to and that my thoughts on my treatment were valid after discussing them. Thankyou so much
