- First class experience from start to finish. After visiting other medical professionals who couldn’t help Dr Nav was just what we needed. So grateful to have him treat my son.
- Excellent care provided by Mr Johal, his team and the imaging department. ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Dr Nav is a wonderful friendly professional! My son doesn’t normally talk much in the doctors office but he felt very comfortable with Dr Nav. We felt very reassured and happy with the next steps put in place for my 7 year old. Dr Nav took great care and time in answering all our questions. Thank you
- Such a lovely consultation! My son was so relaxed and this is thanks to your amazing communication skills! Thsnk you !
- We have been seeing Nav for a number of year's, prior to my son being born. During this time I have never been in any doubt regarding the care we have received and the decisions that have been made regarding my son's health. I am aware that my son's health could have be very complex, however, I feel that the decisions that were made early on have led to my son having a good quality of life and one that is, so far, free from complications and infections, I will also be grateful to Nav for this.
- We chose Dr Nav Johal after researching the best options for our son and were very pleased with our experience. He was warm, friendly, and put our young boy at ease. He listened carefully, provided clear advice, next steps, and helpful medical resources for us to do further reading per our request. We also appreciated his supportive team-his secretary was understanding and did her best to ensure we were seen quickly for an urgent appointment. Highly recommend!
- We have seen Mr Johol at both GOSH and The Portland, every time Mr Johol has been incredible both with our Son and ourselves. I immediately felt safe and trusted Mr Johol, I had previously met with another Dr but wanted a second opinion and I am so pleased that I did. Very grateful to Mr Johol and his team.
- Running a little late but as expected for a doctor’s practice. Very accommodating due to our residence overseas
