By far the best doctor. A genuine guy. Very funny and puts you at ease. But knows when to talk serious and caring and knows his stuff better than anyone. Can trust and know you’re in the best hands.

Whilst I'm not a wussy person, Mr Skinner's bedside manner is astonishingly good. - Warm, reflective and perceptive. Issue immeditaely diagnosed (GP had it wrong) and operation total success. Had been warned it would be painful for a week + - didn't feel a thing! A fine surgeon.

Received by a main reception who was abrupt to say the least and witnessed his manner with a client in front of me before I experienced the same. Pleased this was a complete contrast to the whole team who took care of me during the procedure who were better than fantastic.
