I felt at ease from the onset. The doctor asked lots of questions and as importantly for me listened. She explained her conclusions in a way that i could understand as a layperson. She detailed what would happen following this initial consultation.

My condition is permanent Afib. I have seen Dr Sawhney twice and have to say that from my point of view she is one of the best specialist doctors I have ever seen. She clearly knows her stuff and has the experience and knowledge to do an exceptional job, but perhaps more importantly, she has a natural 'bed side' manner which makes you feel comfortable and at ease during consultations which means it so much easier to say how you feel, talk about about your worries and ask the many questions that you have in sitting in your mind. I very pleased I found Dr Sawhney and would totally recommend her.
