Wow what can I say without giving the most positive feedback as Dr Mehra deserves. I was referred to Dr Mehta and I have to say what a fabulous Doctor he really is. I was checked so thoroughly I knew I was in safe hands and good care to the point I have no worries at all now. After intensive tests were carried out for my diagnosis, which Dr Mehra highly recommended highly, I was treated with upmost professionalism warm, caring, compassion and support which I needed at the time for my own well being . There is no better feeling when you know you are being cared and supported for at such a high standard with gold star treatment. Thank you Dr Mehra and team for all your excellent help! Keep up the fantastic work!
Dr Varun Mehta who, so far I have met once in person was charming. He explained what he proposed for my treatment very gently and clearly. No time has been wasted.

Such good care and attention was paid to me and my health problems. The doctor put me at ease and was very gentle with the bone marrow biopsy. His assistant Lester was also wonderful to me. I truly feel in good hands.
Dr Varun Mehra was very caring in the way he explained what each step was going forward and made you feel totally at ease as a family we can only thank you with everything you have done for our Son
Such a nice Dr who I felt explained everything in detail very well and was so reassuring, thank you.
Dr Mehra was very understanding and patient, taking time to talk through all my symptoms and get a clear picture of my health. He was very thorough with testing and diagnosed the condition that was causing my problems and identified another possible risk to keep an eye which had not been picked up by my gp. He and his team have been very helpful and pleasant throughout.
I had a Bone Marrow Biopsy and was extremely anxious going into it, but Dr. Mehra was truly wonderful. His kindness, reassurance, and professionalism made the entire experience far more manageable.
Dr Mehra has been caring for me since AML diagnosis over 2.5 years ago. From first meeting him on an emergency admission he has been caring, kind, thorough & professional and I have had complete confidence I have been receiving the best care and treatment possible on this ongoing journey. Consultations are never rushed and his supporting medical and administration team are superb too.

Dr. Fadi Jouhra
CardiologistI’ve had the privilege of working very closely with Varun on a wide range of myeloid cases in my NHS practice, and I have absolutely no hesitation in referring complex myeloid patients to him from my private practice as well. He brings a caring, thoughtful, and methodical approach to every clinical challenge — big or small — and consistently provides high‑quality, patient‑centred care. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with him.
