My Client Stories

I wanted to say a very big thank you for Dr Bodani’s letter

Patient, 2022, regarding a second opinion on diagnosis
Patient

Dr Bodani’s was a nice appointment, out of all of them, he was very nice.  His report was the only one that came back that didn’t need any corrections or amendments, it was spot on.

2022, unsolicited feedback from Claimant’s spouse, following medicolegal appointment
Carer

“…I felt the need to write a short message to thank you for the few hours we spoke…you’ve made a huge difference to my life, helping restore some trust in the medical profession & regain some control over parts of my life I previously thought were immutable…you have my best wishes” [2022]

And an acknowledgement, that many feel, expressed by the same correspondent (2022), that behind Dr Bodani stand others who support him with the same goal of serving patients to the best of our abilities:

“I’d also extend thanks to you (Vicki – Vicki Hazledine, Dr Bodani’s PA) for the time spent organising things, I assume that took a bit longer than any of us anticipated & appreciate your efforts there!”

Patient

I just wanted to thank you for all of your continued support over the past 3 years. Your help and guidance has been invaluable and I can truly say I would not be where I am today without you. I have a lot of respect for how you have helped me throughout my time …I am very pleased  to say that I received a First Class for my degree which I am extremely proud of…

Patient

Hi Dr Bodani just thought I would let you know that XXX is in Dubai on his way to Australia & New Zealand. He has a one year working visa & has worked solidly for the last 6 months to finance his trip. He has gone all on his own & has grown up a lot. We will always be very grateful for all of your help, kindness & wisdom…

Dr Bodani, Words completely fail me as I’m trying to express our gratitude for the wonderful gift [Report] you gave us! We have now been rehoused – still temporary at the moment but the duty officer told me due to your report she can’t see why we won’t now get priority need – regarding the housing. So just once more thank you for your help and support and if I can ever return a favour please don’t hesitate to ask! Yours forever grateful

Healthcare Professional

...I just wanted to send a quick note following yesterday’s meeting. It was great to meet you in person and I really enjoyed your presentation… As a lay person, it struck me how similar my limited understanding of chronic pain and depression were in terms of responses so I was extremely interested to hear you talk about this from your experience….

Patient

Thank you so much for helping me and for the medicine….I was very happy with your consultation

Patient

Dear Dr Bodani, Thank you so much for your help yesterday.  I appreciate the advice and will look up the courses that you suggested. Along with everything else. I just wanted to convey my appreciation. I know you’re extremely busy, but your information and explanation on this was invaluable. Thank you again.

Patient

Dr Bodani is “a highly trusted and dependable colleague…(He) is invariably concerned for his patients’ best interests…He often goes “extra miles” for patients when necessary, always appropriately…without claiming extra recompense for his efforts…I have great confidence and esteem for (him)”

Senior Consultant and Medical Director, in a tertiary medical speciality
Healthcare Professional

My husband and I both think Dr Bodani is a very kind, understanding man, he doesn’t act like a doctor, more like a caring friend.  He is very approachable, always available when you’re under his care and in difficulty.  He has been very supportive throughout our court case.  He really listens and gives our point of view his full consideration.  He has a lovely bedside manner and every visit to see him is special, even down to him bringing me herbal tea bags because he knows I like them.  I would highly recommend Dr Bodani.

Patient

Dr Bodani has been a model professional since my first interaction with him. He is an excellent doctor, has a fantastic Bedside/patient interaction and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone.   Overall a five-star service!!

Dr Bodani …changed my family and our lives and we will be forever grateful for how much he has helped us. There are many people who hold the title “doctor”, but finding a doctor who genuinely cares is rare. Dr Bodani has gone out of his way for us on plenty of occasions and always made us feel comfortable about asking for help at any time (even at ridiculously early hours of the morning). A caring and genuine person who really does know his stuff….

Carer

I think …Dr Bodani is extraordinary …he is still on the journey with me

Patient

Dr Bodani goes above and beyond to provide incredible healthcare. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and truly listens to you. His help allowed me to significantly reduce the frequency of my seizures which was invaluable in allowing me to return to normal life. I cannot recommend Dr Bodani enough, he has been amazing, and continues to be. I know now when I speak to him that I will always get an answer that is well considered and, most importantly, helpful.

Patient

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to provide a testimonial for Dr Bodani who I have come to know quite well over the past two years.

I need to provide a little context in order to appreciate how outstanding his input has been to a terrible case – that of my wife who is dying of Cortico Basal Degeneration.
