Bad!
Dismissive approach left me unheard
The service provided fell short of expectations, with staff appearing dismissive and unengaged. The consultation experience was unsatisfactory, with suggestions that seemed inadequate. The diagnostic process took several months and did not meet the standard of care I would have hoped for. Overall, I found the experience disappointing.

Helpful receptionist made booking straightforward
Excellent experience throughout. From my initial telephone contact, the reception staff member was exceptionally helpful. When the clinician called to discuss my concerns, they were very kind and reassuring, and I was able to arrange a face-to-face appointment quickly. The clinical staff who provided my care were outstanding, and I feel very grateful to everyone involved.
