Please take time to read this as I would very much like to share this with the relevant professionals. My son has been struggling recently with anxiety and panic attacks, and at his request an earlier than planned appointment was arranged with Dr Mirza 4/11/21 11a.m for 30 minutes. Dr Mirza spent an hour and twenty minutes with Jack and myself listening and explaining his condition with us, and giving him outcome options. In my experience with various Mental Health professionals Dr Mirza is by far one of a kind. He has great knowledge of his patients and their condition and explains this so well with empathy, support, reassurance and may I say an interest. I know how busy this consultant is, yet he never showed this to us, he has the ability where many have failed to engage with my son in a way that he listens and trusts him. This is a rare quality I can assure you. My son trusts very few people and rarely engages, however I am very happy to say that Dr Mirza has done this. I feel his team has a real Gem here and his patients and his fellow professionals are so lucky to have him. For the first time in nearly 7 years my son came out of that consultation feeling really good about himself and positive, he said he felt he gained a lot from the consultation , and felt reassured that Dr Mirza understood him and treated him very much as an individual and not a number. He really is amazing at his job and it shows that he has a real passion for his work, long may he continue . I do hope he gets to know how much he is appreciated for the excellent work he does.
