I’ve been seeing Andrew now for quite a few years. Whilst he keeps my initial medical condition in check with medication. He also checks on any other issues. Treating me as a whole person and not just an individual condition. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. If only all doctors and consultants were like this.

Explained my situation, and Dr Holt immediately arranged a number of tests and scans. Did plenty of follow ups and listened carefully to my feedback. I had stomach issues for years and thought I would be stuck with them. But since seeing him 4 months ago, I've had no issues at all. I'm very grateful 😊
