Dr. Fazal is incredible. Not only has he taken great care of my husband and my father-in-laws health but he is lovely to speak to at every appointment. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of medical care. I highly recommend becoming his patient! Thank-you Dr. Fazal.

Thanks to Dr Fazal and his Secretary for helping me to arrange appointments through private healthcare for the first time. Dr Fazal was very polite and informative when talking about the tests he would like to carry out and the subsequent results of my tests. Could not have asked for a better service from start to finish.
