Dr Shaukat is an excellent doctor. He has been able to improve a long standing bowel condition within a matter of weeks. He and his team at Spire Lea were excellent in the care and treatment they provided on the day of my procedure. I would not hesitate in recommending him to any patient in need of his specialist knowledge and care.

My GP had asked our local hospital to carry out a colonoscopy on me within two weeks so as to not coincide with my other medical issues. Unfortunately the hospital were already fully booked & could only promise to fit me in on any cancellation they may subsequently have. Recalling I had been a member of The Benenden Society (formally The Post Office & Civil Service Sanatorium Society) since a teenager (I am now in my 70s) I approached them, they offered to fund immediately & recommended Dr.Shaukat at the Spire, but unfortunately they gave me his personal mobile number rather than his secretaries contact! Dr Shaukat was charming when I called him, said he did not mind, was very busy during the following week, but to book myself into the Spire anyway so as to be on their system with him (their next date was October) & he would do his upmost to slot me somewhere the following week. he also said that if the NHS hospital did subsequently offer something first he would not object at all if I cancelled an appointment with him at short notice. On the Friday of that very week at 18.00hrs Dr Shaukat contacted me to say he would slot me in on the following Wednesday at 07.30am, presumably before his list that day, which he did. He was very friendly, professional & efficient throughout as were all his team at the Spire. He said that he would telephone me later with the full result but still found the time (I don't suppose I was really with it then after sedative) to seek out my wife to tell her all was well & nothing of concern to worry about. You really cannot get better than that & I am extremely grateful to him & his team as is my wife for going the extra mile to help me on what was obviously a very busy day for him..

Dr Shaukat listened and immediately diagnosed what was later confirmed via testing in my first visit to him. He has prescribed medication that has resulted in being able to live a much fuller life than I was previously able to. When tearful prior to the procedure, he and the team at The Spires were calming and reassuring. Just wish I had been referred to Dr Shaukat years ago!

Dr Shaukat saw me following a painful episode involving severe stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea. He immediately suspected diverticulitis and arranged a scan and a colonoscopy. He conducted the colonoscopy himself with great care and expertise and this confirmed diverticulitis. He was very helpful in discussing the way forward with helpful suggestions on diet and the use of natural remedies for ongoing constipation. An expert in his field and highly recommended.
