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.
Prompt appointment by the team and review on time by Dr. Holt. He is a patient listener, highly knowledgeable and explains in detail of the condition. Plan of treatment and clear timescale in follow up. Overall an Excellent experience.
Excellent ..had two years of uncertainty with NHS it’s evident I have had the same problem with no clear explanation. 40 minutes with Dr Holt and it was so much clearer, i now have a clear plan going forward..

Thanks - it's lovely to have such a warm recommendation
I am happy to highly recommend Dr. Andrew Holt, who is firstly very personable and 'easy to deal with. More importantly, he is obviously a very experienced consultant, who is very thorough in his approach and follow-up. Very impressed (and I am. not a relative of his).

Thanks for such a kind review
Very pleasant doctor to talk to listened to everything we said he was very informative and kind and helped with options as we struggled. I would strongly suggest him to any medical clinic or service.I wish every doctor was 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 😊
