Very calm, professional and polite.
4.25
He seems to be a man of few words. But I felt extremely grateful to him for agreeing to carry out my procedure.
Thank you for your feedback, I will endeavour to offer more in the way of explanation, ideally it is best to have a full follow up consultation to discuss all tests including the gastroscopy after the sedative has worn off.
