We recently visited with my elderly parent and were extremely impressed. Dr Varsani took the time to listen patiently and explained everything clearly in Gujarati, which made my parent feel completely at ease and understood. We left feeling reassured and confident about the next steps.

Very impressed with the services provided by Niva. As a result I have decided to set up a Membership, not only to get a good discount on the appointments but also because of the options included. Very satisfied with the services I have been provided so far, not only by the GP but also the staff at the front desk.

I went in to get checked for a strain in my leg due to an injury and was diagnosed by Dr Bhavika. I felt so much at ease discussing my ailment with her. She was extremely polite, had a very pleasant and empathetic tone of voice and gave me clear instructions on what needs to be done. Highly recommend this clinic.
