If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Dr Mehta is the most kind, empathetic and incredible doctor. He has made me associate a horrible illness with a positive experience because of how much he listens and explains and makes an effort to investigate and help. He is nothing short of wonderful.

Dr Mehta made me feel very relaxed as soon as I entered his consultation room. He had read up on my IBS history before my appointment and was very constructive in giving ideas of what my issue might be. This was the first time anyone had suggested it might be a hernia so gives me hope of getting to the bottom of my long standing issues. His referral letter to my GP was very comprehensive and I now await an MRI scan.
