- Dr wakerley explain everything that would be happening and what appointments I will need so was easy to understand. Waiting time was amazing very quick . And staff very helpful
- i received injections to help relieve my migraine which really worked alongside medication and physiotherapy. I wish this could have been arranged earlier. The consulting room would benefit from a softer light option for other migraine sufferers.
- Dr Wakerley was extremely helpful remaining in regular contact with us and would definitely recommend.
- Dr Wakerley was on time, thorough and reassuring. I was able to be seen within two weeks of booking an appointment. His medical secretary was also very helpful and polite on the phone, as well as being responsive to email queries. Thank you.
