Dr Arshad was very accommodating with my specific medical needs. She was elaborate with instructions and health teachings.
I recently took my widowed Mum to see Dr Sobia Arched for a problem with her Thyroid. I cannot tell you how lovely and kind she was to my Mum and myself. She gave us so much time, attention and kindness and with a lovely sense of humour too! We think she's the nicest Dr we've ever met, she was that good! Thank you so much Dr Arshad, we can't thank you enough! Margaret and Tracy xx
Have had many appointments with Dr Arshad with successfully managing hypothyroidism diagnosis and after care. Also with current endocrine issues which are still successfully being managed by Dr Arshad. Would happily recommend Dr Arshad to others.
Dr Sobia is very kind and knowledgeable and listened intently to all my concerns to create the appropriate care plan for me. I am extremely happy to be under her care for endocrinology.
This was a follow up appointment with Dr Arshad. I've been a patient of hers since 2024. We looked at my current progress to date and modified some goals for the future. Including a more manageable weight range for myself. As always, Dr Arshad gave me valuable advice on how to maintain my weight loss so that I can continue to manage my reversed diabetes.
Dr Arshad is amazing! She explains things very well and is extremely reassuring and very professional at all times. I would highly recommend her services.
Visit was really straight forward. Easy to check in and called in on time by Dr Arshad who was very pleasant and explained the process very clearly. She made the whole experience straight forward and not at all stressful. She explained all of the next steps, when I’d hear back and gave me a copy of the next steps with relevant sections highlighted.
Can't rate Dr Arshad high enough. Absolutely superb doctor.
Sobia is my go-to colleague for endocrine issues in my haematology patients. She consistently provides an outstanding service, and patients frequently share excellent feedback about her clinical skills, expertise, and judgement. Her clinical acumen, professionalism, and patient-centred approach make her an invaluable resource for both patients and colleagues alike.
