Dr Vasim Farooq

I recently booked an appointment for my daughter to see Dr Farooq. She had been ill for about 6. months with various symptoms that made her feel like she was having a heart attack. My daughter who was only just 18 had high anxiety and this had held her back from going to school and learning to drive. When we met Dr Farooq, his gentle nature and the time he gave my daughter just listening to her, immediately calmed her. She finally felt heard. We had had numerous appointments at the local GP surgery and each appointment made her more anxious. No GP we saw understood what the problem was and basically would tell her to go away and come back if the symptoms continued. The initial appointment with Dr Farroq gave my daughter the immediate feeling that her symptoms were real. A MRI was booked and Dr Farooq gave her an ECG. The initial diagnosis was pericarditis. This was explained to my daughter in great detail which also made her feel validated. We are so grateful to Dr Farooq for being so kind, gentle and understanding. His words of belief helped immediately with her anxiety, which I am sure were exaserbating her symptoms.

Dr Farooq listened to what I had to say, encouraged me to talk about how I felt. I never felt rushed. He explained possible reasons for symptoms and organised appropriate tests. Results were later discussed, and how to move forward. I was given opportunities to ask questions and he ensured I was happy with his explanations and care. Very pleased with my care.

Dr Farooq is the perfect gentleman and perfect doctor. He gives time to explain clearly and is so patient when being asked questions. Thank you so so much for putting my mind at rest and helping me to live the best life I can.

I was welcomed kindly by my Doctor. He well looked after me and gave me all the care and intervention I required.

Mr Farooq was very good he was though and explained everything that he was doing. Mr Farooq made my husband and myself relaxed and safe. Mr Farooqs professionalism made our visit 5*

I have a lot of faith and trust in dr farooq and his team and always feel at ease whenever I attend clinic so thank you all

It is a pleasure to provide the following review of the experience, assistance and advice that I received from Dr. Farooq during the last 18 months when I was quite seriously ill. At the early part of 2025 I suffered a severe lack of breath and after a discussion with my GP decided to attend at The Spire for a scan. Luckily for me, Dr. Farooq saw and examined the results of that scan and before I got home he telephoned me to state that I should go to the hospital immediately and he would endeavour to obtain a bed. During my stay in hospital Dr. Farooq arranged for a number of tests and scans - such as Echocardiogram and an Ambulatory Monitor - to be undertaken and upon my discharge he arranged for a Life Vest to be supplied and fitted which I wore for some 2 months. In addition upon leaving hospital it was found that I had developed drop foot to my right leg and again Dr. Farooq subsequently arranged for a stroke consultant to investigate. I have since attended a number of follow up appointments with Dr Farooq and receive, a few days after those appointments, a detailed letter from him – a copy of which also goes to my GP – setting out my progress to date and reviewing my medication. My experience with Dr. Farooq has been exemplary and his explanation of my current state of health at those follow up appointments have been particularly thorough - each one was undertaken with the utmost of professional standards - together with a touch of humour !! I regard myself as being very fortunate to have received this standard of care and treatment from Dr. Farooq. May 2...
