- A gentle old fashioned approach which is much needed in today’s world, I found with Dr Nadir who made me feel cherished and respected and not alone. The journey which I had to undergo in order to keep me alive, which of course is no exaggeration when dealing with a life limiting condition, was thoroughly explained, and guidance given so allowing me to make the right choice for me. Most especially, having this doctor’s knowledge and expertise, to match me with the exact surgeon was priceless.
- My meeting with Dr Nadir was most helpful and satisfying, my next step was explained clearly and to my understanding, His Bedside manner was calming,and professional which put me at ease,i am so grateful for his time .
- Dr Nadir has treated me for the past 3 years plus and has been very professional with his treatment and ongoing advice on my heart health matters. Angioplasty he did in June 2023 has given me a new lifeline for which I am very grateful Top heart doctor ❤️
- I was treated with the utmost compassion and in a very professional woy by Dr NADIR and his team. Without the valve repair procedure I had no quality of life. I now feel very fit and able to live an active life . The procedure was very successful and I and my family are grateful for the chance to live a normal life again.
- My personal experience with Dr Adnan Nadir needed to get to the “heart” of the matter. To ensure a recent, successful, TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) operation would give me whole life benefits from improved heart function. Not least I needed careful guidance addressing a potential sensitive issue of excess weight. A real issue I was aware of but struggling to correct. This was discussed and a constructive way forward agreed. So, I left feeling more confident for future health
- I totally recommend Dr Adnan Nadir for his expertise and care in treating me. During many meetings, he answered all my questions patiently and clearly, and carefully explained test results and options for treatment. He was caring, empathetic and thorough. He then successfully performed mTEER on my severely leaking mitral valve, with excellent result. I am so very grateful to him and his team for their wonderful care, efficiency and expertise.
