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 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.
