Why patients choose Sonorad
"Dr S I Mahmood is passionate, considerate and, most importantly, knowledgeable. I was completely at ease and was allotted a generous amount of time with him to really make sure I understood what was being said. Booked online less than 12 hrs before coming in, process easy peasy. I have previously used a woman in Harley Street for ultrasounds - NO LONGER. My scan today was the cheapest I could find in Berkshire, yet the consultant himself and the services he provides are unmatched in my experience. Literally zero wait time.
Thank you, doctor! – Alyss Prichard
