- My discerning opinion, Dr Amit Bhan tops all the attributes one seeks from a consultant.
- I had a very positive experience at one Welbeck, under the care of Dr Bhan. Everything about it was calm, timely and I was very well looked after. Everything seemed clean, modern and the room was comfortable. Thankyou
- Dr Bhan was very welcoming and helpful to me for my PFO closure, he was ready to answer any questions I had, and was very kind to me when I expressed my nervousness for the procedure. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! The nursing staff were fantastic. So kind and so cheerful during my stay at Welbeck, they joked with me during my recovery and were all smiles! The food was delicious, and the conditions of the facility were very pleasant.
- Dr Bhan was excellent. Explained everything wit precision and care and performed a successful ASD closure and has provided an amazing service from staff to finish! Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks so much Dr Bhan
- Dr Bhan and his team have been fantastic throughout the whole process. I have felt very well informed and kept up to date and Dr Bhan ensured that I was able to undergo my PFO closure promptly and well before Christmas (which was appreciated).
- Outstanding from start to finish. Dr Bhan is extremely approachable as an individual, clear in his explanations and was balanced when presenting the options that were available to me. On the day of my procedure he could not have been more professional/reassuring.
- Dr Bhan is so caring and reassuring. He is very thorough and explains everything patiently. He really put me at ease when I was feeling quite unwell. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
