I was a little apprehensive before meeting Dr. Ramin Bahai-Ravary - not knowing what to expect; I was however treated in a friendly and courteous manner which put me at ease. Questions I was asked were relevant and I am hopeful of an answer to what is causing my breathlessness. I have always believed that a daily walk with my dog has helped to keep me feeling fit; being able to have hip replacements has helped me to keep up this activity until breathlessness stopped my activity. I try to help myself by gardening but the length of time I can do this and household chores is somewhat shorter than before and leaves me feeling tired. I am hoping the results of the tests which have been booked will help in a diagnosis. I am very uncomfortable feeling as though I am ageing rapidly!

Dr Ramin is very approachable and really listens to you. He has a very good sense of humour. He has a very wide knowledge of the cause of chest problems and is clear and concise when discussing the results of any tests and the way forward
I cannot recommend this doctor too highly.

Outstanding service from Dr Ramin Baghai-Ravary. He was very quick to see me and allay any fears that I had in regards to a worrying NHS possible diagnosis that I had received.
I was seen by him, had a CT scan and results back, with a further follow up consultation… all within a week!
To put that in context… an NHS appointment (suspected lung cancer) came with a 3 week wait time, just for the initial chat with a doctor/specialist.
I would not hesitate to see Dr Ramin Baghai-Ravary again. Very good communication and calming polite/friendly manner.
Thank you!

I have been under Dr Baghai-Ravary's care since 2015. Throughout, I have felt safe, supported and very well looked after. He is a very good, patient and empathetic listener, even managing to cut through my waffle to glean the information he requires to provide me with the best possible care - no mean feat! I trust him completely and know that I would not have come as far as I have without his expertise and understanding.
