- Dr Smith was very knowledgeable & reassuring. Would highly recommend him However as I have mobility issues the steps into the premises may benefit from disabled access as I did struggle
- I’ve spent 5 years suffering with stomach issues and have had several appointments with the NHS, to no avail. Paying to see Dr Smith was the best thing I ever did, I felt extremely reassured and comfortable , he listened carefully to all of my concerns and took his time to review my past test results. Numerous times hospitals have disregarded my concerns and sent me home wondering what is wrong with me. I spent 45 minutes with Dr Smith and I’ve finally been given a diagnosis and some treatment
- Absolutely fantastic Doctor, very empathetic, approachable with a patient-centred approach, can’t recommend highly enough.
- Dr. Smith was the epitome of excellence. Clear and concise in his explanations and advice with a calm disposition.
- Apparently Dr. Smiths patient before me took longer than expected but nobody came to tell us. However, it was worth the wait in the end. He was excellent and I feel very confident he’s the best doctor for me. Nothing was too much trouble, he was kind, caring and brilliant!
- I had a great experience with Dr Smith. He was professional, compassionate, and clearly explained the process. An endoscopy was arranged quickly, and thanks to the medications he used, the procedure was completely pain-free and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith.
- Dr Smith is a lovely gentle man. I didn’t feel rushed he clearly explained my UC NHS test results, encouraged questions, put me at ease, prescribed medical treatment to help with the flare up which I had been desperate for. It was a v.positive experience helping reduce anxiety.
- Parking very limited. Small waiting area. However the overall experience was good.
- Please notecthis appointment was a duplicate. I attended at 6.20
- Straight forward visit. Everything worked efficiently. The consultation was friendly and informative, putting me at my ease from the get go. The start of a journey but a very good start that has inspired confidence in the doctor I consulted.
