Dr Chee is very kind and informative. He happily answers all questions.
Dr Chee was very professional. He asked questions to understand my condition/concerns. He listened carefully to what I had to say and gave recommendations to help me improve my condition. He was reassuring in that from what I described didn't appear serious, but that it was worth checking.
I rate Dr Chee very highly. He’s always very kind, caring and patient and he takes on board my opinions and questions.
He is very kind and provide very good professional advice to me.
