I saw Mr Kumar a few days ago due to my acid reflux causing symptoms in my throat, neck and mouth. He was very pleasant to deal with, and explained everything clearly. After a good examination, he gave me a treatment plan and explained what to do. Altogether very reassuring.

I was really happy with the advice given and the explanations for my issues. The appointment was quick, but felt thorough and not rushed. Friendly staff and easy sign in, with almost no wait
