Professor Moots is one of the most approachable and caring medical professionals I’ve met. The consultation was handled online because of COVID restrictions, and despite discussing matters of a very personal nature, he made me feel at ease immediately and he had a very personable and empathetic manner throughout. Prof Moots was also really helpful and flexible when it came to arranging the consultation. I would highly recommend his services.

Excellent bedside manner. Caring, considered, pragmatic and holistic approach. Prof’ Moots sees you as the person you are along with a condition, which means a proper two-way discussion can be had. I recommend Prof’ Moots unreservedly.

I attended an online (video) consultation with Professor Moots. The appointment was very quickly and conveniently scheduled within days. My experience was entirely positive, from his friendly attitude with an open ear, to clear explanations and path forward. My mind was put at ease as a result of this consultation - quite the opposite of previous experience elsewhere. In my short experience to date, Professor Moots clearly represents the epitome of best practice.

Prof Moots put me at ease, he was professional, reassuring and knowledgeable. For the first time I felt like someone was going to help me with my pain. I felt so much better after the consultation.

Respiratory MedicineI work alongside Professor Moots as ophthalmic physician within the National Behçet's Centres of Excellence. He is a giant of his field (Rheumatology), but despite that he is caring to patient and colleague alike. I find him to be very intelligent, approachable and down-to-earth and highly recommend him.
