Dr Anwah is a caring and compassionate Doctor. He made sure my dad understood why he was there and asked him some thorough questions to ascertain his current health position. He listened attentively and has started my dad on his road to managing his health conditions. Unfortunately the wait for testing and results is long. But I'm happy that Dr Anwah is looking after my dad going forward with his chest health. Thank you Dr Anwah!

Dr Anwar was the most kind and caring gentleman. He listened to my problems and was really helpful and understanding. He explained everything to me and arranged ax X ray, explaining what it showed. He was kind enough to ring me and let me know the radiologist,’s report, which reassured me. I have never met such a kind dr, who understood my concerns and was empathetic. A pleasure to meet him and I cannot speak more highly of him.

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.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
