He communicates fantastically, discussing diagnosis and options in great detail so I can feel fully in charge of my treatment. He is the kind of medical professional who makes you feel like you are his only patient and he dedicates time and full attention to you.

Mr Adel Tavakkolizadeh. Was very professional and polite. I was explained everything in details of the possible damage at the time of the consultation. An MRI was needed doing to make a clear decision, was also arranged by the Cosultant.
Read moreFor me Mr Tavakkolizadeh has been an excellent physician and he is most knowledgeable (which I know for a consultant is expected). More importantly is the way in which he quickly puts you at ease. This enables him make a more accurate diagnosis. I feel he has a genuine interest in his patients and I would whole heartedly recommend him C A Smyth
