“My consultation with Dr Dhillon was excellent.

The test was organized very quickly and I got the results within days.” – verified patient, Doctify 

“Dr Dhillon is a charming, knowledgeable doctor who put me at ease immediately. He listened to my concerns and symptoms and went through each one of them. I was very impressed with the quality of care received - highly recommended” - verified patient, Doctify 

“The whole experience was very pleasant. I had a colonoscopy before and it was absolutely horrendous. This was a totally different experience, quick and comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Dhillon.”
– verified patient, Doctify 

“Last week, my first meeting and consultation with Angad Dhillon, gave me confidence and hope. He impressed me by his meticulous approach and his skills as a communicator. I am a doctor myself and can state that his training, qualifications and reputation are outstanding. He is making important contributions to research and teaching and has an international reputation. He was helpful in ringing and texting to reassure me while under his care. A colonoscopy went seemlessly, afterwards he spent over 30 minutes explaining issues to my wife and myself. Full reports were available by the afternoon.” - verified patient, Doctify
