Patient feedback
I would thoroughly recommend this clinic. I had the pleasure of dealing with Dr Maitland and Dr Tiwari. Both of whom were polite and courteous. Within 24 hours, I had both a diagnosis and treatment plan in place. Both doctors actively listened to my concerns and took time to clearly outline and explain options, as well as benefits and risks. Consultations were not rushed and I left feeling re-assured. Prices reasonable and the lady on reception was also polite and courteous. I now have answers and a treatment plan in place. Thank you Dr Maitland and Dr Tiwari.

Such a brilliant team at Glasgow Private Clinic. Wonderful doctors, who have helped both myself and my brother in various capacities. Endocrinologist Dr. Maitland is truly lovely, as is Dermatologist Dr. Goyal. Both are very patient, kind and knowledgeable. GP Dr Ali is such a lovely man, too. I would highly recommend Glasgow Private Clinic to anyone who wants an in-house service that is holistic, efficient, effective and overall, very pleasant! Our whole family will be using this Clinic going forward. Thank you.
