Dr Walsh was amazing with my mum and without her physically seeing her, she would have really plummeted. I can't thank her enough and she even emailed afterwards to see how things are going. Still not sure what the issue is, may never know, but she made my mum's life a lot more bearable with anti-sickness tablets and saying that it wasn't the oesophagus causing the problem and there is no reason to not eat lumps again. This has given my mum the courage to at least try more foods. She still thinks most foods taste and smell different so has to force herself to try things but there is a definite lift in her mindset.

I recently had the pleasure of being under Dr. Walsh's care, and I feel compelled to share my experience with others seeking exceptional medical care. From our first meeting, Dr. Walsh impressed me with her kindness and ability to communicate complex information clearly. Dr. Walsh took the time to thoroughly explain the best approach to address my symptoms, making sure I understood every aspect of the proposed diagnostic plan. Her explanations of the diagnostic procedures she recommended were equally clear, leaving no questions unanswered and helping to address any doubts I had about the process. On the day of the exams, Dr Walsh's gentle and caring demeanour was comforting. She spent time with me before and after the procedure, ensuring I felt supported and cared for. This level of dedication and empathy is something extraordinary and speaks volumes about her commitment to her patients. Thank you, Dr. Walsh, for making a significant difference in my healthcare journey. Your outstanding support and care have set a high standard for what patient care should look like.
