I was referred as a private patient to Dr Baghai-Ravary and outcome has been life changing. I arrived worried about losing my job as I was becoming disabled and unable to carry out basis every day tasks, such as walking upstairs, getting dressed and washed. He listened carefully, examined, assessed and arranged tests for me and provided a diagnosis and treatment plan extremely promptly and professionally. Dr Baghai-Ravary said that the medication would resolve my issues within a six week period. It was much quicker than that, so no over promising and an accurate and effective diagnosis and treatment. It is no exaggeration to say this has been life changing and almost miraculous in the speed of improvement and in quality of life for me. Throughout the process I have been kept informed, the arrangement of tests and appointments has all been extremely efficient, professional and supportive. The communication has been excellent in keeping my GP up to date and informed of diagnosis, treatment and ongoing condition management. He has provided explanations and in response to my request has suggested additional resources so that I can take more control of my health in future EG: support groups, websites, background reading. I felt listened to, cared for and that my well being and a positive outcome was his number one priority and that I was not a nuisance or problem. This is particularly important during a time of Covid and reduced availability of such expertise. He was reassuring and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending him as highly as possible for his expertise and help.

I was referred to two consultants after having some breathing problems.
I chose Dr Baghai-Ravary because after speaking to both , I felt very confident and at ease that he would be the consultant for me.
After an initial consultation, where he performed a thorough examination, both verbal and physical, he ordered various tests to ascertain the root cause of my breathing issues.
It turned out that having been mis-diagnosed as an asthmatic, I actually had mild Bronchiectasis and Dr B-R was correct in his diagnosis.
The correct medication has now been prescribed and my breathing is a 100% better. Aftercare has been first class and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Dr Baghai-Ravary!
