I had a very positive experience with Dr Secretary at My Private Clinic. He was professional, approachable and responsive throughout the process. The consultation was thorough and unhurried, with careful consideration given to the information provided. The subsequent medical report was comprehensive, clearly written and delivered promptly. I particularly appreciated his attention to detail, willingness to consider feedback and commitment to ensuring the report was accurate. Thank you, Dr Faizal, for your professionalism, care and excellent service. I would happily recommend My Private Clinic.

Recently I had a Myers’ Cocktail infusion and was extremely impressed with the whole experience. From making my initial appointment with the doctor, to having the relevant blood tests taken and then receiving my infusion, the entire process was seamless and very well organised. The consultation itself was gentle, thorough and incredibly helpful. The doctor took the time to go through my blood results with me in detail, explaining what they meant in a way that was easy to understand. I particularly appreciated that he didn’t simply discuss the results, but also talked me through the things I could do to help myself going forward. I felt listened to, reassured and very well cared for throughout the whole process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional, thorough and genuinely caring approach to their health.

I came across Dr Secretary's private clinic when searching for private, local to me, Preston GP appointments. I was immediately impressed by the flexibility of appointments available, ease of booking, and the information on Dr Secretary's website. I could tell Dr Secretary was the type of clinician to actually listen to his patients and offer valuable professional insight. I booked a last minute same day appointment for my daughter, as the pre booked NHS appointment was weeks away; and as I had suspected Dr Secretary was patient, thorough and very attentive. He listened to all concerns, asked all the appropriate questions, carefully weighing up possibilities and options, and was very transparent throughout the entire appointment. He put my mind at ease, with initial concerns, and recommended suitable next steps which have been very helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Secretary to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive and professional private GP, and we certainly won't hesitate to book again. Many thanks on behalf of myself and my daughter.

Working with My Private Clinic has been a wonderful experience. I needed a doctor to see my mother at home quickly. Her regular GP was not available and so we contacted Dr Secretary who came to visit at home the very next day. He has been in constant contact with me throughout the visit and beyond providing very valuable information and support. He’s wonderful to work with and I can fully recommend Dr Secretary and My Private Clinic
