Very professional and yet approachable Excellent mannot
Dr. Lindsay was very thorough and made me feel at ease and listened to. I'd had some worrying symptoms which had caused me to fear the worst and become very anxious. After a thorough examination I felt very reassured, especially as he has organised for me to have a scan to give me complete peace of mind with his diagnosis. I'm very grateful that he saw me so quickly and put me so at ease.
Offered me support and encouragement. Plain speaking and very knowledgeable. Altered my medication and it made a huge difference to how I felt. Encouraged me to move forwards and said he would be happy to see me again if there are any issues.
