Testimonials

"Clean, bright and modern premises with state of the art facilities. Staff are friendly and welcoming, and the MRI technician was super friendly and professional. I was very nervous about undergoing the MRI but the technician was very empathetic, reassuring and made me feel at ease. I can't thank her enough. I would definitely recommend Lyca Health to friends and family."

"The services at LycaHealth Clinic, starting from the reception, are 100% client-focused and excellent! I had issues after becoming premenopausal about a year ago and just turned 50 this year. During this time, I started experiencing things such as fibroids, pounding migraines, high blood pressure readings, high cholesterol readings, pre-diabetic condition, and stomach pain nearly 5 times a week. The week I started my treatment all the pains have disappeared. I haven't used any painkillers for almost 3 months. Now I'm walking frequently and averaging over 10,000 steps over 4 times a week, and I'm really re-establishing my relationship with food. I cannot begin to thank LycaHealth, Dr. Siva Sivappriyan and Dr. Sharma enough."

"Professional and friendly. I required an MRI at short notice and Lyca Health did everything they could to accommodate. The staff were exceptionally courteous and professional. I would recommend wholeheartedly."

"Satisfied all that I needed on my visit. No problems, all straightforward. Can recommend this service."

"Building was impeccable and the facilities were all top-notch and brand new. It looks more like a corporate penthouse than a medical centre! Staff were great, friendly (not too robotic) and told me what I needed. Referred me for a scan and I had it onsite - happy days! Perfect place to get everything done. Also: all covered by my insurance too!"

"I would highly recommend Lyca Health. Just had an MRI with them and it was a very good service."

"Fast, personalised attention and great staff. I went in for an MRI and everything went smooth. The radiologist and the nurse were amazing."
