- Really good impartial advise, much appreciated . ThankyouDoctor's response -Thank you very much for your review. It is essential for doctors to maintain impartiality as our job is to advise and to help you find what is best for you, as well as monitor health and progress during the process. I am delighted you found this useful.
- Dr Bazire has been extremely helpful in navigating me through my weight loss journey with Pronokal. His great advice has helped me to maintain the diet whilst also being able to enjoy activities and celebrations that are part of life. This ultimately has led to my success.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your comments. I am delighted that you have been successful and to have been a part of that journey. As you so rightly say, being able to enjoy all that happens and still remain in control is central to long-term success.
- He took well enough time to explain the issues, responded very quickly, courteously and professionally. He was very helpful, and his overall demeanor inspired trust in his advice. All in all, quite recommendable.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your words. I am pleased you found my advice unhurried and helpful. These matters need time and thoughtful management, taking into account and adapting any plan to each individual's circumstances. As a doctor working in weight management and metabolic health, I recognise the huge importance of being sensitive to a patient's feelings just as much as being able to help them find the best options to address their physical issues.
- I am delighted with the follow-up I received from Dr Philip Bazire. This was my first medical experience via virtual appointments. The doctor was always very punctual and very attentive. He not only helped me with my weight management, but also considered my whole person.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your review. I am delighted to have been able to help you. As you suggest, weight management is much more than just a figure; a holistic approach is essential if you are to achieve good and long-lasting results.
- Dr. Bazire is the best doctor I’ve ever had! He has helped me lose 15kg and I’m currently still losing more. He is always there to help me and guide me in this process. It hasn’t been easy but he has definitely made it fun and easier to get through.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your comments. It is a pleasure for me to see how well you have done and continue to do. I look forward to continuing to support you and to help you ensure long-term success. At the end of the day, my aim is not only to help you lose weight in a healthy way (losing fat, not muscle), but also to show you how to maintain that in the long term, so you won't need my services again.
- I started the Pronokal Programme 3 months ago and I've managed to reduce my weight from 116kg to 87kg.of course while Pronokal is very good you also need guidance and Philip achieved a gold standard in this area..my body fat reduced from 36%>25%.without doubt the money well spentDoctor's response -Thank you very much for your comments. I am delighted you are happy with the result so far. As I discuss with all my patients, this is always an ongoing process, first to get to a weight at which you feel comfortable and where we have sorted out any weight-related health issues, then to achieve a healthy balanced diet that will help you stay weight stable. Be assured of my continued support.
- I would 100% recommend Dr. Bazire. He is a very kind, understanding, and non-judgmental human being. I have been cared for by him both as part of the Pronokal method and in other areas relating to weight, nutrition, and food management, as well as more general medical areas.Doctor's response -Thank you verymuch for your review. I am delighted you feel comfortable with my approach as well as with the areas we have been dealing with. I wish you continued success.
- Dr Bazire clearly knows what he does and talks about, his view is based on current scientific evidence and his method is not only a mere application of theory but it is pragmatic and takes into account also practicality and balance. I can only recommend.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for your comments. I am very grateful for your recommendation. As you indicate, I believe practicality and balance are essential in any diet and lifestyle plan, otherwise there would be little hope or maintaining the programme in the long term. And long-term control is the only way to achieve lasting health. I wish you every success.
- I'm in my late 70s and have had a problem with visceral fat which is very difficult to get rid of. I'm a TOFI normal BMI of 23 but high visceral fat. In a 45 minute consultation Dr Bazire gave me excellent clear , advice plus a pretty detailed action plan. Superb serviceDoctor's response -Thank you very much for your review. Yes, excess visceral fat (fat in and around the abdominal organs) is a very important factor in our long-term heath. I look forward to following up and helping you to get this sorted.
