Reviews
Damien has a good bedside manner and is very clear and concise with what to expect
Clearly very professional, but with such an easy-going attitude that helped put me at ease with personal doubts and embarrassment. Practice staff are also very easy to deal with, especially when needing to deal with Defence Medical and BUPA processes.
