- I had a very positive experience with Dr Noel Pollock during my knee assessment. I was attended to with great care and warmth, and everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Following the assessment, I was referred to an excellent surgeon for my surgery. Overall, my experience with Dr Pollock and the HCA team was highly satisfying, and I felt well looked after throughout.
- The clinic is impressive in every respect. Dr Noel Pollock is a knowledgeable, skilful and efficient specialist in his field, with a charming and kind manner. Physio Mr Gus Morrison provided a detailed and thorough assessment and communicated it well.
- Dr Noel is a top pro.
