Ver warm and welcoming - very comofortable speaking through my issues / asking any questions
Dr. Barbara Carey is a God sent. There are only a handful of doctors that are so caring and kind and takes their time with their patients, and Dr. Barbara Carey is truly one of them! She was very kind, supportive and highly intelligent and explained everything thoroughly till I was fully understanding of the situation. Most importantly, she allowed me to take my time to discuss my concerns, and went above and beyond with various tests to ensure to cover for all tests that are required. She did not at any point speed up the consultation, and allowed me to utilise my consultation with her to the maximum till I was fully satisfied I had all my questions answered. She also kindly comforts her patients by stating to email any other queries to her secretary and she will respond back, making her patients feel she’s only an email away for any concerns or questions. Absolutely remarkable consultant and would highly recommend Dr. Carey to anyone! Her secretary Lina is also highly supportive and kind and quick to respond to any queries or questions. Lina will fit a patient in as soon as she’s capable of, and will support according to the patients needs/urgency. Was an absolute pleasure to have been referred to Dr. Carey and been under her care. Truly grateful for your kind support and help. God Bless.
Dr Carey is very good at explaining the issue and also very supportive with treatment and ongoing monitoring.
