Doctor Nisar had a very calm and professional manner. He listened with an intent to understand and made me feel confident about the treatments suitable for me. I am very pleased that he is looking after me!

Aug. 3, 2026, 2:44 p.m.This is now my second appointment with Dr Nisar. I had quite a few blood tests done previously and we went through the results. Confirmation of my actual condition has not yet been confirmed, but hoping this will happen on my next visit. He took his time and I didn't felt rushed, despite he was running late.

Aug. 3, 2026, 8:36 a.m.Dr. M. K. Nisar is an exceptional doctor. He listened carefully to every concern, explained everything clearly, and treated me with genuine kindness and respect. His professionalism, compassion, and reassuring approach made a significant difference to my recovery from gout. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.

Aug. 3, 2026, 5:38 a.m.I liked Dr Nisar very much at our first meeting . He listened to me and was very supportive and understanding about my fibromyalgia which is rare in rheumatologists . My only slight concern is that he sent me for lots of scans and tests and said to come back 4 weeks afterwards because the tests would be back . I left it 6 weeks and checked with his secretary that the tests were back but at our second meeting Dr Nisar hadn’t seen them but he found them when he looked and we went over them together . I’m just slightly worried that if I hadn’t had the second appointment the results would of gone unseen and I feel (and this is with all the private drs ) that for the amount of money you pay that they can take 5mins before each patient to do their homework and remind themselves of your details and check the results of the tests they’ve ordered for you .

Aug. 3, 2026, 12:15 a.m.Dr Nisar comes across very trustworthy and competent. Sometimes I feel I have to ask the right questions to get all the information i need however and can walk away feeling I may have missed something / with a lack of long term clarity

Aug. 2, 2026, 6:12 p.m.Excellent diagnosis and advice. Really speeded up my referral and immediately helped with pain relief

Jan. 21, 2026, 6:07 p.m.I was given a bisphosponate infusion at Bedford hospital and almost immediately suffered side effects. Despite trying to register my symptoms and concerns with healthcare professionals -I was told on numerous occasions that this couldn’t be correct -at the end of my tether I requested a private appointment and saw Dr Nissar. He very quickly identified risk factors, differential diagnoses and required investigations He was very knowledgeable, polite and empathetic (something sadly missing in my encounters with staff within the NHS) He explained clearly the differential diagnoses and next steps. I felt heard which was an enormous relief.
