Reviews
I have nothing but praise for Dr Maher. He was so very polite and compassionate. He listened and answered all of my questions. He explained things very clearly and concise. The appointment wasn't rushed and he was very caring. He is a brilliant Doctor.
He had read my notes prior to the appointment. Dr Maher spent time explaining my condition and the treatment options. This was not rushed and the explanation was very clear, he was very good at checking my understanding and asking if I had any questions. Great experience, recommended.
i was very pleased in the way he explained my condition in full and i understood every word.
he seems to put patients at ease and i hope he will be fitting my pacemaker on the day.
Dr.Abdul Maher was excellent in ever way and is a credit to his profession.
He explained everything in a way that I understood and took his time in doing it.
He did not rush my appointment in order to make up time for the next patient.
He spoke perfect English.
He is a Dr. that I trust whole heartedly in his diagnosis and treatment of my heart condition.
I am at a lose as to how my appointment with Dr.Maher could be improved.
Utterly faultless..
