  • I was late due to a crash on the motorway and I felt awful as I know time is precious at appointments. Everyone was ok and reassuring with this. The dr spoke throughout in a clear and calm tone, no judgement on my comments or circumstance. He went through in detail what to expect going forward and I had enough information to make my own informed choices. Really pleased and would happily recommend the hospital and dr to others. Thank you
