The whole experience was excellent, I was seen on time and Dr Tarzi was polite and professional. He really listened to everything I had to say and gave me clear and concise next steps.
Dr Tarzi was professional and clearly knowledgeable. He took time to listen and didn't dismiss anything.
Dr Tarzi was brilliant at solving my skin issues. He was through and kind and resolved an issue that other doctors did not! I am delighted with the results and would not hesitate to recommend him.
I saw Dr Tarzi regarding severe hayfever with the view to getting desensitization treatment. He was professional and polite throughout. He listened to me, provided clear explanations and guidance. Clearly an expert in his field and I feel that I am in safe hands.
I heard Mr Tarzi coughing profusely in his room whilst waiting for my appointment. At one point he was coughing so badly he had to go and get a glass of water. I am a vulnerable woman in my 70's and I found this very disconcerting. Mr Tarzi is a charming man and told me he had a sore throat but wasn't contagious . However , he was sniffing through out the consultation and clearly had an active infection. I noticed a lot of the nurses were wearing masks and coughing a lot. As an elderly woman I would have appreciated him wearing a mask as 2 days later I came down with a sore throat and cold.
So sorry about this. I've been coughing for many weeks - it's a post-infective issue with my voicebox rather than a cold. At the time of this appointment things had calmed down quite a bit and I'd stopped wearing masks etc, unfortunately it turned out to be a bad evening. Agree I could have done better.
I met Dr Tarzi after being recommended him from my cardiologist. He is a friendly, well mannered person who helped diagnose me with an allergy, he listened to everything I mentioned, recommended medicine and suggested various solutions that will help. I am very happy with the outcome, the medicene prescribed has helped with my quality of life and will apply his suggestions. I would definitely recommend him.
Dr Tarzi was very clear and strighforward with his information. He listened well and investigated what he thought was necessary there and then. I am also being sent for a blood test to rule out all possibilities, no matter how low the chances, so I felt this was very thorough.
Dr micheal tarzi is a good understanding and considerate immunologist. Easy to talk to and explains diagnosis is simple terms. Highly recommend
Dr Tarzi was very nice and helpful, thorough with his approach, and gave me plenty of time to ask any questions. I was also seen on time. I would highly recommend him.
