- In principle, the whole procedure was faultless. Everything was explained, the staff were all very friendly but still very professional. Last, but by no means least, the "unknown" problem for which I was referred was fixed. Great job, thanks to all
- Absolutely fantastic service. Couldn’t be happier. Painless procedure and in the after care I only took one paracetamol. So easy and it fixed an issue that’s been bugging me for years. I wish I had of done it years ago!
- Delighted with my experience. Couldn’t have been any better. Dr Zola is wonderful. I highly recommend him.
- Excellent Doctor and staff. Great service always. Thank you
- Very welcoming experience and reassuring at all timesDoctor's response -Delighted to hear you had a positive experience
- The allocated treatment room was unsuitable. With 2 skylights and no blinds it was difficult to see the scanner screen. The doctor actually had to move rooms later. Luckily there was an alternative available on a busy day. The original room should be flagged as unsuitable.Doctor's response -thanks for the feedback. Reassuringly your concerns about the room have been addressed
