Dr Sandeep Dahiya

The quality that makes Dr Dahiya stand out most is that he has a very holistic approach. He is interested in the individual as a person and tailors his advice and insights accordingly. In this way, you leave his clinic with a good understanding of the diagnosis and also actionable steps. Dr Dahiya communicates well, providing advice that I feel benefits me as a person, beyond just my diagnosis. He is also good at providing resources to promote my knowledge so that I feel confident in my ability to understand and also improve my prognosis.

He made sure to take the time to explain my condition and treatment in great detail. I’ve had my condition for 2 years now yet (even with explanations and asking questions before) I have a much greater understanding of how my condition affects my body and how to manage it. Definitely would recommend him, he was patient, understanding, compassionate and kept me engaged with humour too.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Dahiya as my consultant. From the very beginning, he has made me feel truly heard and seen, never rushed, and always treated with compassion and respect. He strikes the perfect balance between reassurance and urgency, knowing when to stress the severity of a situation without ever causing unnecessary alarm. What I value most is the open and honest discussions we have about my condition and treatment options. He always takes the time to explain things clearly, no matter how small my questions may seem, and ensures I never leave with doubts on my mind. Importantly, he has involved my husband every step of the way, making sure he felt included and part of the decisions, which means a great deal to us both. I have complete trust in his care and wouldn’t want to be under anyone else’s guidance. Knowing that Dr. Dahiya is looking after me gives me confidence and comfort in even the most difficult moments. I truly feel lucky to have him as my doctor.

Sandeep was very thorough when explaining my diagnosis and ways to cope. He spoke to me as a like minded individual and kept it all light hearted but informative. He showed resources I could read upon at home to learn more if I wished and they included different methods of dealing with my diagnosis.

I had my first appointment yesterday with Dr Dahiya. This was at the RA early diagnosis clinic. Confirming what I already knew was wrong, Dr Dahiya is very thorough in his examination, explaining everything as we went. He has a really lovely manner, a great listener, professional, thorough, approachable and very caring. At no point did I feel that I was being rushed or dismissed. I have 100% trust in him and that he genuinely has my best interests at heart.

Dr Dahiya is the only doctor who has spent time actually explaining my osteoporosis and what it means. He has a really friendly manner which put me at ease and I completely understand my new treatment programme.

I saw Dr Dahiya after a referral from my GP to formalise a diagnosis for Fibromyalgia and rule out any other potential diagnosis. Dr Dahiya listened to all my symptoms, did a very thorough examination, and went through all my test results with me. He then took the time to carefully explain Fibromyalgia in way that was easy to understand for those of us without a medical background! He went on to provide self-help treatment options and exercise plans that are not only achievable with this condition but aim to drastically improve ongoing symptoms and provide natural pain management. It was a breath of fresh air to not just be offered more tablets and told to put up with the pain and other debilitating symptoms, and be given something holistic and natural that has a real chance of helping. Dr Dahiya has a very professional and engaging approach, and displays a sense of humour which made what could have been a stressful experience calm, relaxing and very informative. I cannot recommend Dr Dahiya and his approach highly enough.

Dr Dahiya has been an integral part in supporting me navigate my treatment programme for Fibromyalgia, and in a short period of time has helped me to minimise my symptoms considerably. He was able to quickly diagnose me, and provide me with both physical but also cognitive exercises to help with symptoms which were hugely impacting my day to day life. Not only this, from appointment to appointment he remembered our past conversations and was able to create a bespoke programme which fitted my lifestyle rather than giving generic advice. I've seen a lot of professionals over the last 18 months for the condition (although undiagnosed until meeting with Dr Dahiya), and Dr Dahiya was the only professional who was both informative, but also engaging and rather funny which allowed for relaxed and positive appointments!

I think what is shocking the most is that someone can happily diagnose someone with a condition with an ultrasound scan alone. A decent enough persona, but a poor rheumatologist, either lacking in knowledge or just happy to take the easy route. Save yourself some cash (I wish I had) and go see someone who knows what they are talking about.

I have been seeing Dr Dahiya for the past 16 years. Dr Dahiya is a unique Consultant, in my husband, Bob's, and my opinion, being extremely engaging and very funny in his care of me. Every single time I have met with Dr Dahiya he remembers everything said to him in previous visits, he always asks how my husband is doing. Bob used to attend every visit with me before Covid and I suppose now we have fallen into me going alone, but Dr Dahiya always asks how Bob is doing. This means a lot to me, he doesn't make me feel like a number, but that I am important and from talking to other patients who attend with him, I hear the very same things. Dr Dahiya is thorough, while being friendly and amusing, which is what we need at our worst times. Humour is what gets us through, he has bundles of that, thankfully. We feel very blessed to have been assigned Dr Dahiya as my Consultant. I have complete trust in him and he explains everything to me on my visits, being completely supportive and understanding of this terrible condition of which he has freed me from my acute pain and given me my life back. To sum up, Dr Dahiya is caring, kind, funny, respectful, compassionate, gracious to name, but a few adjectives. Dr Dahiya is, in our opinion, a credit to his vocation and we hope to have many more years of consultation with him. Unfortunately, this disease is probably here to stay and I would not wish for any other Consultant to care for me.
