Dr Sanjay Khurmi

Dr Khurmi has undoubtedly saved my life on multiple occasions. He has ensured my medications and care needs are adequate for me and escalated any issues if they have arisen. Dr Khurmi is a true example of a caring, kind and compassionate doctor who is highly skilled and a wonderful asset to the NHS. I have been under his care for EMDR treatment and while I have needed the crisis team input. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done.

Dr Khurmi has been excellent. He has listened throughout and been person centred in his approach. During telephone or face-face consultations he has given the space and time that has been required for me to be fully supported. His communication with my family and I has been excellent. I would like to thank Dr Khurmi for his care and treatment.

Excellent doctor. Takes the time to listen and understand what is going on. Looks at the wider perspectives and causes rather than just the immediate problem. Takes the time to listen to what is important to the individual patient and goes out of his way to support them as much as possible

Dr Khurmi goes out of his way for people. He is proactive too. He is exactly what the NHS needs. He doesn’t speak in text book terms; he speaks to you as a person who is suffering. He’s a breath of fresh air.

I have been in crisis. Dr Khurmi clearly knows his stuff and was able to demonstrate both knowledge and compassion to get me to a better place. He listens. He just gets it. His service feels personal and I don’t just feel like a number. I have absolute faith that I will reach a safer calmer place thanks to Dr Khurmi.

This doctor really helped me understand my condition more. He was very polite, understanding and considerate.

A relative of mine has been under Dr Khurmi's care for a number of months now via a number of phone calls made to the regional crisis team. Dr Khurmi has been at the centre of the care organising a complicated and substantial package of care taking care of the individual's and immediate families needs. Until we met Dr Khurmi, a number of other staff has been contacted to help but there had not been much progress and the family outlook of recovery seemed distant. Dr Khurmi has been very patient and tentative with his approach which was refreshing to see. It felt like the doctor gave time to listen to queries, concerns and worries and took time to address this which helped alleviate family concerns. The overall progress has been very positive thanks to delicate changes in dosing regime and therapeutic changes to medication. A couple of months ago, things seemed in a very bad way and that there would not be happy times again. Now, a few months on, we seem to be returning to a new normal whereby everyday functioning is getting back to a somewhat optimal level. Dr Khurmi explained about the pros and cons to every decision regarding my relative who has been in his care. This has helped to explain the decision basis and rationale for specific choices and direction. We are grateful to him and his team. Without Dr Khurmi, and his teams help and coordination, we are blessed to see the relative almost back to their best. Moving forwards, Dr Khurmi explained about another colleague taking over the care. Naturally, we were apprehensive about this but Dr Khurmi has spent time to build trust over the last few months and we trust his judgment and are looking forward to continuing a journey of rehabilitation under the new doctors care. Thanks to everyone in the crisis team, and regional support team.

My 25 year old son found himself in a very dark place recently and was put in the care of Dr Khurmi. I have to say the calm mannerism and experience of Dr Khumri was brilliant. He has helped my son gain trust and talk to him about his issues. I am seeing the benefits of work he is doing with my son, even taking the time to sit with the family and explain things we did not understand and guide us into how we can also help our son recover. I think recovery for patients is achievable if you end up with the right person professional to help you. We are glad we got Dr Khurmi.

A personal thank you to Dr Khurmi. Not only did he 'listen', he 'heard'. I hit a very very dark place and was getting to a point of not wanting to be around any more. Dr Khurmi was supportive, patient and very understanding. I believe that without my GP, Dr Khurmi and the team's immediate intervention when I was pleading for help, I might not have been here anymore. The aftercare is just as good and with new medication, and knowing that help is now just a call away, to a designated team, I feel that each day is getting a bit lighter.
