    Verified patient
  • Saw Dr. Lindsay at the Kingsbridge clinic on the Lisburn Road. Appointment started 25mins late, but Dr. Lindsay was very apologetic and we quickly moved onto discussing the reason I was there. His explanation of the issue and next steps were all extremely clear and he answered the questions I had. Overall, I felt reassured about potential treatment options and found the experience extremely satisfying.
