Mr Parbhoo explained everything to my us parents and our daughter in detail, right from the beginning. He is very patient and professional and was able to put our daughter at ease with his friendly manner and good sense of humour. His communication with us has been excellent. We are incredibly grateful to Mr Parbhoo for making such an anxious time, so easy to deal with. Our daughter refers to him as “the epic jaw man”.

Completely professional care from initial consult to final procedure and follow up. Could not have asked for better care. Thankyou.

Dr Parbhoo had a warm and calm manner. He explained things very well with both medical and lamen terms. Dr Parbhoo was very smpathetic to my conditions. So helpful with suggestions and I was impressed with his knowledge and care. Suggesting to email me further support was going above and beyond other Doctors. So helpful.

Genuinely lovely man with a kind and caring attitude.

Mr Parbhoo has a very calm and reassuring manner and completely put my 14 year old daughter (and I!) at ease. He explained everything very clearly and treated my daughter with kindness and respect. His advice and tools offered have hugely improved a problem she has had for well over a year, in a matter of weeks! I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words and feedback. It can be very frightening as a parent when your child is unwell. I am very pleased I was able to put both you and your daughter at ease to help her recover.

Ear Nose & Throat Surgery (ENT/Otolaryngology)Mr Parbhoo is an excellent Max fax surgeon and an amazing person. It’s very rare to have a surgeon so skilful and yet so humble .He’s one of the surgeons who is trusted with any simple or complex Max fax issue by all his colleagues and patients. Truly an asset to all the hospitals he works for and a very well respected colleague.
