AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr Dean Creer is professional and clear. He makes hard health issues simple to grasp. Patients laud his good work and prompt follow-up. Top visits concern CT scans, chronic cough, and bronchiectasis.
I saw Dr Creer this week to discuss an existing respiratory condition and to get his advice on its likely significance over time and whether any regular monitoring would be appropriate. I found him extremely engaging, friendly and approachable, which made it very easy to discuss my concerns and ask questions. At the same time, he was clear and precise in his explanations and gave me a very good understanding of my condition and what I should expect going forward. I found the consultation extremely worthwhile and came away feeling both well informed and reassured. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Dr Creer saw me on time for a follow up appointment. He explained the results of my tests thoroughly, and gave me suggestions and answered my queries. A written report to my GP followed immediately. Dr Creer has a very pleasant manner, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others
Excellent. Dr Creer is very clear and honest about treatment and his explanations excellent
Dr Creer was brilliant. He has a great way of explaining complicated medical issues in a simple way to someone who has no understanding of medical terminology. Very diligent on follow up and ensuring all queries were followed up on.
A very detailed explanation of my diagnosis. All my questions were answered and concerns addressed. A most reassuring consultation.
