Dr Niven Akotia

Written by a private patient at Springfield Hospital

Niven Akotia has been the anaesthetist for the last 3 procedures I have received at Springfield Hospital. My only qualification to be able to provide this feedback is from my own experience, but each time I have felt assured of Niven’s competence, skill and professionalism. The extra level of care that comes with the experience is from his personal attributes of a positive and happy attitude, affable character and most of all, his humour. This provides an all-so-welcome distraction and reassures you that are in good hands both before and after your procedure putting you at ease at a stressful time as a patient. This is honestly top care and thank you Niven. It is so much appreciated.

Our Son Luke has DS. He was extremely nervous about having his operation. This all changed once we met with Niven at the review. His wonderful manor and lighthearted approached soon put ours and Luke at ease. He gave us confidence and reassurance. On the day of Luke's operation, Niven came into the room and Luke was so pleased to see him. Niven's bedside manor in both the ward and in theatre was outstanding. He was funny, caring and compassionate. Niven understood Luke's disability and needs. Niven made the whole Hospital experience easier for us as a family and especially for Luke. We are most grateful to this wonderful man.

Niven was a pleasure. He was very professional but very light hearted making me feel very comfortable with my procedure. We need more doctors like him.
