Oliver got a thorough check up, unlike the usual 10 min with his regular GP. The result was that we now know what may be wrong with him, we have a plan of action, and can adjust his asthma medication in a more nuanced way. We are delighted and thankful.

Despite my daughter having Autsim and some unusual behaviours, I found the Doctor and the nurse who did her skin prick blood sugar test, very patient, kind and accommodating of her special needs.
