My Cardiology appointment with Dr. Farveh Vakilian at St Albans was 1st class in every respect - easily booked, professional reception, unrushed and thorough consultation and a prompt and detailed report letter by email. Dr. Vakilian’s depth of knowledge and experience were reassuring throughout. Thankyou

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an exceptionally positive experience with Dr Mohammad Al-Majalit this morning and felt it was important to acknowledge the outstanding standard of care I received.

From the outset, Dr Al-Majalit was highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and remarkably thorough in his approach. He took considerable time to review my medical history, listen carefully to my concerns, and explain his assessment and recommendations in a clear and comprehensive manner. At no point did I feel that the consultation was rushed, and his attention to detail gave me tremendous confidence in the advice and care I was receiving.

Having had considerable experience with NHS healthcare services over the years, I can confidently say that the level of care, expertise and thoroughness demonstrated by Dr Al-Majalit was among the very best I have experienced. The depth and quality of his advice went considerably beyond anything I have encountered previously. He provided valuable insight and guidance that I found both reassuring and extremely beneficial.

I left the consultation feeling exceptionally well informed, reassured and with a much clearer understanding of my ongoing cardiac care. I am sincerely grateful to Dr Al-Majalit for his time, expertise and genuine consideration throughout the appointment.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dr Mohammad Al-Majalit to others, and I will most certainly be making use of his services again in the future. An outstanding doctor who provides an exceptional standard of patient care.

Very convenient online booking system and quick and efficient reply via whatsapp when I needed to change the time of my appointment. The kindest Sonographer who made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Genuinely polite and excellent service. Very thorough scan and informative. It is rare to have authentic and heartwarming service in a professional environment. Results emailed fifteen mins after leaving the clinic! Highly recommend!
