I recently saw Dr Chhaya and had an excellent experience from start to finish. He has a gentle, professional manner that immediately put me at ease, which made a real difference during what has been a worrying time. His investigations were incredibly thorough, and thanks to his careful approach I now have a much clearer understanding of my health and the importance of staying vigilant in the future. I felt listened to, well‑informed, and genuinely cared for throughout. I’m very grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend him.
When people talk about an excellent bedside manner this really sums up Dr Chhaya. I felt totally relaxed about my gastroscopy. Everything was explained and I was totally at ease with the whole experience. Thank you for making it so simple.
He was very kind and considerate and reassuring. He explained my results and took the time to explain anything I was unclear on. He discussed next steps and suggested further treatment I could pursue if I still felt concerned.
Dr Chhaya was polite and welcoming. We went through my symptoms and medical history thoroughly and discussed my concerns. He recommended a CT scan as the best option moving forward. I felt reassured and was impressed with his expertise and pleasant manner.
I underwent a colonoscopy and gastroscopy by Dr Chhaya recently and the whole process, apart from the ghastly prep solution (!), was very painless and carried out in a friendly, yet professional, manner. Everything was explained clearly and the results communicated to me as swiftly as possible.
There was an issue with my appointment booking but Dr Chhaya fitted me in which was most helpful.
Dr Chhaya was very reassuring, listened carefully to my issues, and gave clear guidance and suggested a plan for the next steps.
Dr. Chhaya is very easy to talk to and has time to listen to your questions. He is reassuring in his manner and describes the options available to you. A charming man.
