 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a very positive experience at London Private Ultrasound. The whole process was smooth and professional, and I felt very comfortable throughout the appointment. Hana, the sonographer was kind, thorough and took the time to explain everything clearly during the scan. I really appreciated the level of care and attention, and the examination helped identify the cause of the symptoms I had been experiencing. I would definitely recommend their service.

 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!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would like to thank Farveh Vakilian M.D. for an excellent appointment on the 9th. I have never had such a professional and informative chat and ultra sound carried out. She had time to answer any questions I had and the report is clear and succinct, perfect for what I need. I wholy recommend this practise and Ms Vakilian and will be back as and when I need expert guidance.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used the clinic a couple of times ann am very pleased with the service they provide. It's easy to find a slot (sometimes even on the same day). Doctors/radiologists are very good and knowledgeable. I got a verbal report straight during the scan and a written report on the following day. Would definitely recommend the clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service is easy to book. The appointments are available in the evenings and weekend at short notice. My GP says the fees are very good for a Echcardiogram undertaken by a top cardiac consultant who gives immediate feedback on the results of the scan. Mohammed, the consultant was very reassuring, friendly and professional. His  full report was produced the same day and ready for the GP visit the following day. This was a great experience in what had been a very stressful period of time. My mind was put at rest by a cardiac consultant with top rate experience. Medical input excellent.
