- Professor Joseph has been amazing in terms of helping us get an understand of Bethan's PCOS and finding her a suitable path with medication to stabalise her condition. The only query I would have, is that I booked the review online and think I may have overpaid - it's not a huge concern if there was an overpayment as you could put it on account for the next review.
