- Professor Navani is the greatest doctor, he has taken care of me, my husband and friend, he is very thorough and I would not consider another doctor.
- Dr Navani performed a lung biopsy on me recently at One Welbeck centre. He was very reassuring and helpful. The procedure went well and was over quickly. I had no issues following the procedure.
- Professor Navani is exemplary in every way! He is a wonderful consultant, who cares about his patients with a heart that is so compassionate. His expertise and knowledge are outstanding. His manner of carefully and patiently explaining things to patients is an example to all consultants of how to consult. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Navani to anyone. The way he continues to care for my family is absolutely wonderful. Another excellent aspect of his work, is his multi-disciplinary approach, where he cleverly pulls in teams of consultants from differing areas of expertise. I often say he is part of a dream team of consultants and we are honoured to be under their care. Professor Neal Navani is just WOW! Heartfelt thanks to him.
- I started seeing Dr Navani a year and a half ago. I was having terrible problems with my breathing. We tried a number of treatments and now seem to have got on top of it. I have to say, although he said we could sort it, I didnt really believe I'd recover as well as I have.
- Professor Neil Navani is an exceptionally kind and caring doctor. He has been looking after my mum for several years, and I completely trust his judgment. Thanks to his expertise, her emphysema is well managed. A truly fantastic gem of a doctor – we’re very grateful.
- Dr Navani has in charge of my care since 2021, during which time he has referred me as needed to various specialists. His care, patience and humour have guided me through an enormously difficult time and I’m very grateful to have been treated by him. Thank you Dr Navani
- First class care and concern. Would recommend wholeheartedly.
- Prof Navani's professionalism and manner are exemplary; he's reassuring, gives his time as needed, and responds to lay-questions respectfully and thoughtfully. A consummate professional, with a much appreciated level of empathy.
- Reassuring.
- Dr Navani was punctual, listened well and informative, as well as being open and charming!
