I have been in hospital now for 4 weeks, I was being treated for endocarditis following open heart surgery, although I was healing, something wasn’t quite right? Dr Huran came to see me, read over my notes and spoke with me, he quickly diagnosed a rare condition called Dresslers Syndrome, since then this last week I have been being treated for it and have gone from being on the verge of being taken into intensive care to staying on a main ward and looking and feeling much better.
Dr Huran came to see me daily and to check on me, I found him to be very informative and kind, very willing to listen to my concerns, and was always happy to help. I hold a lot of respect for Dr Huran and I am very grateful for his diagnosis, help and support. I highly recommend him and would recommend him to any other patient too, thank you Dr Huran.
At the initial meeting Dr Ghuran takes great care to understand you and your situation. He explains carefully what he believes to be the best course of action, including what tests will be required. The tests are arranged efficiently, and the results explained clearly. Any questions you have are answered; you are given time to consider; and recommendations are implemented. All this is done professionally, but also in a kind and friendly way – with a sense of humour and a winning smile. His aim is to give you a full life and he gives you confidence to achieve this. I thoroughly recommend Dr
Listened to my reason for seeking a second opinion about my cardiac condition as diagnosed by NHS
Went to great lengths to obtain my examination results in order to effect a comparison with his own tests of my condition
Findings and conclusions were presented clearly
I felt very confident in his approach to my request
i found Dr Ghuran to be a very pleasant person, easy to talk to. I felt he listened really well, and also explained to me what tests he wanted to do and why. I felt I was extremely well looked after and I am very happy to recommend him to others.
Dr Ghuran, and his assistant, Alicia, were supremely professional, friendly and patient in my dealings with them. I encountered some wrinkles with my insurer's handling - nothing at all to do with Dr Ghuran - and his team helped me through this. I am very happy with Dr Ghuran's assessment of my heart from the perspective of an athletic / sports enthusiast. He understood the nature of my concerns fully.
