Dr Lavan is an excellent GP. He is one of the first doctors who listened to me and my concerns without dismissing them. He referred me for a scan, he later explained the results clearly and he provided guidance for a follow-up with a specialist. His explanations regarding medical tests were very detailed but easy to understand. Also, I was able to get a same day appointment which is fantastic and the price set at £50 for a phone appointment was also reasonable. Very good experience overall.

Dr Lavan is an amazing doctor. I went to him due to some urgent health concerns after being sent away by NHS without much attention. Dr Lavan was absolutely fantastic not just with his medical knowledge but also for his empathy, kindness and post consultation follow up! I highly recommend Dr. Lavan.

He is caring, empathetic and knowledgeable. Reassuring when required and investigates appropriately with follow up. Seems genuinely interested in people and health and proactive care

Have used many private and NHS GPs in the past, Dr Lavan is certainly the best. I see him every 3-6 months to touch base and do annual health checks. He has tweaked my medication and managed me in such a way that my energy is up, my mood is better and whenever i have concerns, he can answer them clearly or send me (quickly) to someone that can. Exemplary

Best GP consult for a long time- took his time and ordered appropriate investigations. Sent through results and his interpretation same day- Spot on!
