- My appointments have been on time Dr Joel David was very friendly and very encouraging and my treatment has been good.. I have had excellent treatment from him . I would recommend him to anyone who needed treatment. He was very sympathetic and had an excellent bedside manner. I have been very pleased with the care I have received.
- We saw no other clinical staff. The consultant had clearly made his mind up prior to the appointment as to what was wrong with Lizzie and made no attempt to explore anything from a rheumatology point of view.
- I have great faith in Joel’s clinical judgement and highly recommended him.
- A very good consultation. Dr David gave a thorough and accessible explanation of my problem, and I have no hesitation in recommending him

- I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Joel David. He was superb. He treated me with such kindness and compassion when I was in pain. His treatment brought instant relief. I cant thank him enough
