- Dr Seymour was recommended to me and I would definitely recommend him to others. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and sympathetic. His letters back to GPs detailing/recommending treatment going forward are detailed and clear. His PA, Debbie, is super efficient, very kind and always prompt to reply.
- Dr. Seymour is very pleasant with a great bedside manner, and very easy to have a conversation with from a patient point of view.
- Dr Seymour was fantastic. Very professional and resolved my issues quickly
- I would be happy to recommend Dr Seymour to anyone. He has a professional and caring manner. Also, his secretary was very helpful and understanding. However not the same can be said for the premises. I could see building work was being carried out but I could not wait to leave. The car parking was even worse.
- Top notch care throughout. Dr Seymour and team did a great job and left me with a clear understanding of my particular issues and how to manage them. Highly recommended.
- Brilliant , professional and a nice person. Cured my asthma
- I’m not the best patient at detailing my symptoms. Dr Seymour has been very focussed on my problems and taking all steps necessary to identify the cause of my illness.
