- Dear Mr Sepehripour Thank you is such a small phrase it doesn’t seem to be anywhere near big enough for what you have done for me. There are no words to express my sincere thanks Warmest wishes Gill Bailey
- The service at Wythenshaw was excellent and would be difficult to improve. Very thorough blood testing. The after discharge follow up should be sooner to aðdress any issues with medication as the GP does not appear confident in taking over.
- I had endoscopic minimally invasive mitral and tricuspid valve repair done by Mr Sepehripour. He is an expert surgeon and so kind and caring. I feel fantastic and I am very grateful to him and his team.
- I was delighted with the care Mr Sepehripour gave me. He is a very skilled surgeon but as importantly, he is extremely kind and caring. He was so thorough with all aspects of my care and also supported my family’s needs. A wonderful doctor! I feel so much better following my surgery!
- Can’t thank Dr Sepehripour enough for the care I received during my valve repair. From the very beginning, he was incredibly reassuring and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. His attentiveness and confident approach gave me real peace of mind. The surgery itself was uneventful, which speaks volumes about his expertise. Thanks to his skill and dedication, my recovery is going very well.
