Dr Roy, I had a consultation today with Dr Roy. He explained my diagnostic results clearly providing reassurance. He also asked me questions about my symptoms again and confirmed what previous tests I had. He has a brilliant bedside manner and I did not get the sense that I was being rushed at any point. He actively encouraged me to explain my symptoms and to list my medications. He gave me room to explain my symptoms and express how I was feeling. He provided suggestions and lifestyle changes to aid in my health and fitness. I would highly recommend Dr Roy to my friends and family if in need in the future. I felt at ease and comfortable at the consultation at all times.
