thank you very much for coming for treatment of your colitis and rectal bleeding. I am glad we could treat it satisfactorily
I had a raised FIT level to lead me to Dr Reffitt. A focussed discussion on relative medical history rapidly eliminated wilder possibilities. This was very important to address any anxiety I could have had. His decision making was efficient & transparent and I was sent in for out patient procedure quickly. That whole part of the process was exactly in line with his base line estimate & executed flawlessly.

thank you for coming to me for investigation and a colonoscopy for your raised FIT level. I am glad we were able to treat you
Highly experienced and skilled gastroenterologist.
