Dr Tahir Anwar has demonstrated exceptional politeness and has been highly supportive of our son. He has offered constructive advice in a compassionate and considerate manner. We departed with renewed hope regarding our son's health and future for the first time in several years. We sincerely appreciate Dr Anwar's time spent discussing our concerns and providing medical support and guidance.

Dr Anwar has been amazing. He has looked after my respiratory, he listened to the problems I was having and ordered investigations and pushed for those investigations to be completed when there was push back from my previous GP. He pursued the investigations which did lead to a very unexpected diagnosis but a very important one which I can only thank him for.

Dr Anwar was professional, kind and explained things very well. He took time to make sure we (my wife and I) understood each subject before moving on. He made us feel really relaxed considering why we were there in the first place. Altogether an excellent service and experience.
