Dr Nitha Naqvi

I have had Dr Naqvi as my paediatric cardiology consultant for many years, she has been so helpful in helping me and my mum understand my condition and she never made going in for my check-ups feel like a chore. It was a delight to have her as my consultant and I am sad to not have her as my consultant any more as I move onto the adult team. I am very grateful to Dr Naqvi and her team for looking after me so well – Thank you.

We have been very lucky to have Dr Naqvi as my son’s paediatric cardiology consultant, she’s extremely professional, very friendly and easy to talk to. Dr Naqvi takes the time to explain things simply and she’s very supportive, reassuring and encouraging - she gives superb overall patient care. We will genuinely miss her and the team when my son transitions to adult cardiology. Thank you so much for everything Dr Nitha Naqvi.

I took my Daughter to see Dr Naqvi about a potential condition she had after being referred by my GP to see a specialist. I personally have been receiving private care for 25 years now and the reason why I have decided to give back feedback on this occasion is because the service my Daughter received was nothing short of exemplary. Dr Naqvi took the time to make sure everyone testing my Daughter was communicated by in person and we were constantly given feedback as to what was happening and if we needed to know any more information. I would go as far as to say that it felt like Dr Naqvi was treating her own Daughter, that's certainly how I felt as a parent! I can see why Dr Naqvi won such an outstanding accolade for Woman of the year, I hope many more patients get a chance to have the great customer experience we did, even if they are for situations that I would not wish on anyone.

Explained everything in detail, so that I understood what was going on. Listened and asked thorough questions. V pleased and thanks to her!

Doctor Naqvi has provided continuity of care for our son following major neonatal surgery at Royal Brompton hospital- she remembers him from the ICU and 3 years later continues to review him at a regional outreach clinics. We are delighted to be able to remain under the umbrella of the Royal Brompton, it provides us with an enormous amount of confidence that he is receiving the very best care. Happy to answer our questions and requests, We feel she does a good job of balancing the clinical needs of our son with the emotional needs of us as parents. She arranged a cardiac check for our other son with her colleague at our local hospital for our peace of mind. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dr Naqvi.

Having read several other reviews of Dr Naqvi, it seems she is consistantly excellent, which is our experience over several years. Nitha has been an amazing 'all-rounder' as we have visited with our son. He is a talented sportsman. He plays sport to a high level for his age and has sporting aspirations. Dr Naqvi has understood him very well and our journey as a family and explained clearly but carefully the facts, the risks and the encouragements. She has engaged with our son appropriately and understood the devastating news regarding risk that she needed to give him. She made extra appointments for us as a family to ensure we had support and also asked for further investigations to ensure we all had a full understanding. In explaining the risks of playing Rugby to us as a family, she used appropriate information for my husband, a 'numbers' man, to explain the situation. Inspired! That communication helped us all as a family have the same understanding so we could move on. Today we have said goodbye to Dr Naqvi as our son is almost 16 and will be referred to adult clinics. He is still playing sport at a high level - just not Rugby. Weve made our peace with that. On parting, this kind and intuitive Doctor spoke directly to my son the words of affirmation and encouragement that made is chest swell with pride and his face light up. Upon leaving he said "She really understood me!" That alone is an amazing gift to be given; a doctor who treats you as a person not a condition and understands you and your families journey. We'll miss visiting her! :)

We met Dr Nitha for the first time when we came with our newborn son to the Royal Brompton Hospital. It was the middle of the night and we were devastated. Dr Nitha kindly explained the procedures and gave us hope. Now our son is 5 years old and we are grateful that our consultant is Dr. Nitha. She is an angel.

Dr. Naqvi has been involved in looking after our HLHS son since he was born. She is his cardiologist and we can't rate her highly enough. He is doing amazingly well and that is in large part to her amazing care. She is very professional, personable and she really cares for her patients. She is totally invested in our sons care and health.

Nitha is an exceptional cardiologist. She has cared for our daughter since birth (2015) and she has consistently fought for her best interests. She has always been honest with us and involved us completely in decisions about our daughter's care. Nitha was a key part of the team which repeatedly saved our daughter's life, and she did it with charm, compassion and real expertise. She understands the challenges of having a child with a complex cardiac condition, and has supported and championed our desire to live a normal family life.

Dr naqvi has been caring for our son from 4 months old he is now nearly 4 and doing amazing she has been very caring and helpful and got us any information we have needed she is also very friendly and easy to talk too
