Reviews
Dr. Ramin Baghai-Ravary took the time to listen to me and I felt confident that he would help me. He was very thorough and explained things clearly to me. His manner was reassuring and professional.
Thank you kindly for your comments, which are much appreciated.
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.
Thank you. I very much appreciate your positive feedback.
Very friendly doctor and a great listener. The professionalism has been exceptional, and this doctor genuinely cares about his patients and wants to resolve their symptoms. I would highly recommend.
I appreciate your compliments. My objective is always to deliver the best patient-centered care that is possible.

Thank you, your feedback is much appreciated.
I have seen Dr Baghai- Ravary for 2 consultations and I have learned more about my asthma and how to manage it in these 2 sessions than in the 30 years I have been asthmatic! I was left concerned and confused after a lung scan and x-ray and wanted to see a specialist to fully understand what I was dealing with. Dr Baghai Ravary is friendly and welcoming and a great listener. He is clearly passionate about ensuring patients in his care can live with asthma without it inhibiting their enjoyment of life. He clearly talked through the results of the x-ray and scan and was very empathetic and reassuring. He gave excellent advice on what was the best medication for me and how to use it and he reviewed the treatment I had been on previously. I felt immense relief after my consultations and no longer feel worried about my health. I am very grateful to Dr Baghai – Ravary for all his help and expertise and would recommend him to anyone who has concerns about asthma symptoms and treatment.
Thank you very much for your review. I am very pleased to have been able to support your clinical care. Best wishes, Ramin Baghai-Ravary
