- Dr Binenbojm truly went above and beyond. For the first time in London, I felt genuinely listened to by a doctor who really cared about my needs. Professional, attentive, and compassionate — a rare experience. Highly recommended. Reception staff really pleasant.
- Had to wait 20 mins for my appointment to start but Dr Carla was very apologetic. Would definitely recommend.Doctor's response -We are pleased to hear that you had a positive experience. On behalf of Dr Carla and the entire team at Oval Medical, thank you for your kind words.
