- I cannot recommend this doctor without giving her 10 stars. From initial greeting, examination, prognosis and future were all amazing. I have suffered with my illness for many years, I now actually feel I've someone who understands what I'm going through and thankfully can help me. I wish I'd come to this doctor a long time ago rather than suffering. Thank you so much for helping me. Really looking forward to seeing you again.

- I am very grateful for the care I received from Dr Mona Ghadri-Sani. She is kind, thorough, and truly listens, explaining everything clearly. She has given me hope and reassurance, which made a real difference. Her compassionate approach sets her apart and I highly recommend her.
- I had a consultation with Dr Ghadiri-Sani who is a lovely doctor. Very understanding of my problem, listened to how it was affecting me. She explained thoroughly why I was experiencing symptoms and what treatment options were available. I came away feeling optimistic that hopefully I will be able to manage my condition better. She had read my notes and a letter was send to my GP with a treatment plan. Thank you to Carl (secretary) arranging a consultation quickly.
- many thanks for my appointment and your help and information regarding my ongoing problem can not make any suggestions as your help and understanding of my condition is very reassuring.
- The only thing I can complain about is Top Doctors UK changing the time of the appointment on their system without The Sefton Suite knowing. Then sending me a text and an email with the incorrect time on, which led me to believe my appointment time had been changed. The staff at The Sefton Suite were all lovely, and all were just as confused as myself. I was so pleased to finally have a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.
- Very pleasant and kind bedside manner. Was able to discuss my concerns in detail and made a thorough plan. Very pleased with the appointment.
- Dr Mona is the loveliest neurologist I've ever met. She is kind, compassionate, and took the time to read all the notes I sent her before our appointment. She explains things in a way can be understood without feeling condescending or leaving out details.
