Dr Makkeyah was compassionate and caring. He listened, he fully explained what was possibly going on, clearly outlined next steps and kept me fully informed. The way that he explained things was easy to understand and he answered my questions clearly. I felt comfortable and reassured with him.

I had an excellent consultation with Dr. Yahya Makkeyah today regarding my kidney condition. He took the time to listen carefully, explained everything clearly, and treated my concerns with professionalism and compassion. I have a complication that requires further investigation, and I was very impressed by how quickly he has started the process to get everything sorted. His prompt action and efficient approach have given me confidence that my care is in good hands. Thank you for your dedication and excellent care. I truly appreciate your support and commitment to helping your patients.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am pleased to hear that you found the consultation clear and helpful. I am sorry that you experienced a longer wait than expected before being seen. As this appointment took place within an NHS clinic, waiting times can occasionally arise due to the complexity and unpredictability of patient care, particularly when earlier appointments require additional time. However, I appreciate that this may have affected your other commitments and understand the frustration this can cause. Thank you for your understanding, and for your comments regarding the consultation itself. Patient feedback is invaluable and helps us continue to improve the service we provide. Best wishes, Dr Yahya Makkeyah
