Very good, through & reassuring. Dr Chris Phillips is a very nice Dr putting you at ease straight away, thank you
The appointment came through very quickly, I was seen on time, a good history was taken and a thorough examination made. The required treatment was correctly explained and I was told how long I would have to wait for the treatment. On reflection, the only thing missing was to be told what the differential diagnosis might be but really the whole process and Dr Phillips particularly deserve a 10 out of 10.
He was very welcoming, made me feel at ease and explained things very clearly.
