- Every member of staff was so happy and chatty and really really kind to be around. Couldn’t be more helpful
- Dr Maclean was informative, reassuring, highly competent and efficient. I am most grateful for everything.
- I cannot recommend Genesis and Ms Gael Maclean more highly. I am immensely grateful that they made a difficult diagnosis much easier for me to come to terms with and then dealt with the problem swiftly and with a high degree of professonalism, skill and humanity.
- Excellent, I felt confident in the care I was given and well supported throughout.
- Ms MacLean was very understanding and empathetic - I would recommend her to ant if my friends and family.
- I would highly recommend Ms. McLean for her kindness and understanding and professional approach. I was extremely anxious, if not terrified, but she was very reassuring, kind and calming. The whole team were excellent in every way. I had all tests and results on the same day.
- I was extremely anxious when I was advised to have a mammogram and ultrasound. Ms MacLean showed me understanding and empathy. She also told me she would be there if I needed her after the tests. I would highly recommend Ms MacLean. I will definitely be using her again.
- I would highly recommend Ms MacLean for her sympathetic, caring and professional approach. I was seen and scanned on the same day, with results straight away, a most welcome relief. The team around her was also good, responding to me quickly, and keeping me informed from my first enquiry onwards. The hospital was easy to access and there were minimal wait times for scans during the day. It was a sensitive, highly positive hospital experience, from start to finish.
