Reviews
Dr Akotia was absolutely fantastic with me as I don't think I was the easiest patient he had on the day. I was incredibly nervous and very anxious about having the anesthetic for a breast augmentation. From the moment he entered my room ahead of the operation his manner and sense of humour shone through and he made me feel like I was his only patient he needed to see. My anxiety started to disappear and was replaced with a feeling of trust for Niven and his knowledge and professionalism.
On entering the operating theatre he again put me at ease and chatted and joked wirh me and next thing I knew I was waking up after the op. He came to see me on the recovery unit and assured me that everything had gone well.
I would definitely request him again if I had to undergo another operation. But next time I think we should discuss his taste in music and he needs to turn it up
Very good manner and communicator
Dr. Niven Akotia's service as my anaesthetist was exceptional. His expertise and warm bedside manner immediately put me at ease. He explained everything clearly and took the time to address my concerns. Dr. Akotia's genuine care and compassion were evident throughout, making a significant difference in my experience. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of anaesthetic care. Thank you, Dr. Akotia, for your outstanding service.
A very personable doctor. Was asking questions about my holiday as he was putting me under and when I came around I jokingly asked if he remembered where I was going and he did!
I came around very quickly and was alert and can only say I must have had the best anaesthetist
I recently underwent a breast augmentation at Springfield hospital with Dr Akotia as my anaesthetist. From the second I met Dr Akotia, I was put at ease. He has a fantastic bed side manner, has a great sense of humour and is very kind. He was very clear in his instructions/advice. I trusted him 100% and would recommend Dr Akotia to anyone.
