- This was a very expensive process. An audiology test of 10 minutes cost GBP 195 as part of a 30 minute consultation which cost GBP 250 already. For self-paying patients this, on top of the initial GBP 250 which includes no treatment, is an awful lot of money.
- Very satisfied with the consultation by Mr Shaida. His communication was clear and to the point. He answered all my questions patiently. I appreciated his direct approach and the way he provided practical recommendations for managing my symptoms. Strongly recommended.
- really good!
