Reviews
The best doctor I came across after having few operations. Very kind and full of good advice. Would highly recommend his services.
What a wonderful doctor. His personality put me at ease; he was friendly and polite. I really felt that he cared about my care. Naturally I was nervous undergoing an operation but his approach certainly smoothed my anxiety. I sincerely hope he is on my medical team for my next procedure.
Professional, polite, friendly but most important to me very informative! I felt in safe hands and cared for… Excellent
I had my lumpectomy and axillary clearance at Springfield hospital last week and Dr Niven Akotia was my anaesthetist. He made me feel extremely comfortable and has a wonderful bedside manner. I felt very safe in his hands and would not hesitate to recommend him. Going through cancer treatment is very daunting but having people like Dr Akotia on your side makes the world of difference. I hope he knows how great he and his team are and knows how positively he can influence a patients experience.
Despite being nervous Niven put me at ease the moment I met him on the morning of my operation. He explained the procedure to me clearly and concisely and allowed me to ask as many questions as I wished. His demeanour throughout the process was excellent with exactly the right mix of seriousness and humour allowing me to remain calm and engaged. I have no hesitation in giving him five stars
