- Dr Abbas, takes the time to listen to you and the symptoms that you have been experiencing. He also explains things to you in layman’s terms, asks questions, and listens carefully to your responses before making any recommendations.
- I will forever be grateful to Dr Abbas at Aberdeen POTS clinic for his willingness to investigate and treat my post-viral orthostatic intolerance, after multiple NHS and private doctors were unable to help me. Thanks to Dr Abbas, my quality of life is now significantly improved.
