After months of inconsistent information from previous doctors, I decided to book an appointment with Mr Walkden. He was very friendly and personable, immediately putting me at ease. Clearly an expert in his field, he took the time to explain my condition thoroughly and outline the treatment options available. For the first time since my diagnosis, I left an appointment feeling reassured and genuinely hopeful that my condition can be managed effectively. I’d also like to mention Georgia, Dr Walkden’s secretary, who has been fantastic. From arranging the appointment to promptly answering my questions, she was efficient, supportive, and professional throughout. Together, their care made a real difference and set a reassuring tone for the entire experience. Thank you both!
