Mr Verma is personable & put me at ease quickly. He listened to my explanation & clarified anything he needed to. He questioned me on symptoms etc & then examined my ears, taking the necessary steps to sort out one ear by removing a solid ball of wax which my own GP had missed! He notified my GP of further action required very promptly , but my GP did not act upon it, possibly because he had to follow a certain procedure, so couldn't miss out a stage. As a consequence, I booked a CT scan via Mr Verma, & followed this up with an appointment to discuss results. He showed me the scan & described carefully what we could see. He then suggested a possible cause of my loss of hearing & possible outcomes. he further suggested that hearing aids would help in the meantime, but as I can hear well with my one ear, I told him that I preferred to wait & give the ear time to sort itself. Mr Verma is a very pleasant person whom I can thoroughly recommend to others.

Mr. Varma is a true gentleman in every respect, a very pleasant man. He is extremely professional which leaves you with a feeling of absolute confidence in him. He maintains a tidy clear desk & has all the relative details at hand relating to your appointment with him. There are no improvements that could or need be made.

I've seen Mr Verma a number of times down the years and received exceptional care every time. He's a really great doctor who will always listen intently to what I have to say, in an empathetic way, and always takes time to talk through any rationale behind what he diagnoses or recommends. Last but certainly not least, he is clearly extremely knowledgable and experienced and I know I can completely trust him in everything he does and says.
