Very helpful consultant. I had previously been given various diagnoses from my dentist and a GP in the U.K. and Spain. It was really helpful therefore to be referred to Dr. Carey who was able to pinpoint what was happening with my OLP and burning mouth syndrome. She was extremely helpful and easy to talk to. A very useful consultation.
