"I was seen by Dr Katimada at The Medic Clinic Bedford, she was professional and very helpful. Dr Katimada is a compassionate doctor, very knowledgeable and I cannot praise her enough. I highly recommend her and The Medic clinic. Excellent clinic, friendly staff and the service is just brilliant. I have travelled all the way from Heathrow area to Bedford to have this consultation and it was worth it. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thanks again."

"I drove up from London to visit The Medic Clinic to see Dr Katimada (Consultant Gynaecologist) and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. As soon as I entered the clinic I felt confident the journey was worth it and I was in exactly the right place. Haleemah and the other staff were welcoming, professional and efficient. Dr Katimada was absolutely amazing. She took time to listen to me, gave me time to make a decision about how to proceed and most importantly made me feel like a human being. She explained everything really clearly and answered all of my questions which helped reassure me and nothing was too much to ask which helped me feel at ease. They even got a medication delivered from Cambridge within a couple of hours so I could receive treatment there and then - this is truly a clinic run by staff who’s care and mission is genuine, heartfelt and sincere. I will definitely being going back to see Dr Katimada again and I highly recommend this clinic. You will be in very safe hands.
P.s. Haleemah makes a brilliant cup of tea!"

"I had an appointment with Dr Katimada to remove and replace the Nexplanon implant. This was because I was told the waiting list for NHS could be months.
The Clinic is spotless, the staff are amazing and the price was very reasonable compared to others I checked out.
Dr Katimada was fantastic, she put me at ease straight away, explained everything in full and even put some music on of my choice to help me relax during the procedure. All in all, I can't recommend her highly enough, I didn't feel a thing, not even the scratch from the local anaesthetic. Brilliant service and worth every penny.
