Reviews

- Treatment of the staff
- Waiting time
- Condition of facilities
- Very knowledgeable and experienced . Kind and friendly.
- Absolutely first class experience. Great result.
- Dr Varghese was very pleasant and efficient. He explained everything very well. I would thoroughly recommend.
- A kind, caring and professional doctor who explained my condition, treatment and expected outcome.
- Just repeated to me what I already knew about myself and the possible treatment . A very expensive way of getting a prescription. Wouldn’t recommend unless your GP tell you otherwise.
- Very happy with my experience with Dr Varghese. He explained everything to me precisely and clearly and he made me feel quite reassured. The nursing staff were lovely and I didn’t even have to wait as they escorted me in to see Dr Varghese almost immediately. First class.
- The Nuffield admin staff and facilities were great! I did find Dr Varghese slightly patronising and made me feel like my condition was belittled. I was poorly in bed with my skin for 8 months in 2021 due to steroid cream and he called it a 'tiktok trend'/make believe.
- Dr Varghese was very reassuring and made me feel quite at ease about needing a procedure in the middle of my face!
- I am happy I found this doctor and I really appreciate the fact that he is very professional and very competent. I didn't like very much that it was a bit cold in the waiting room.
