Fantastic manner - very knowledgeable nothing too Much trouble
Clear advice given by Glen. Lovely manner and clear structure given to support my treatment. Happy to answer my questions and was very helpful overall.
I recently saw Glen regarding my flat feet and had a very positive experience. He was warm, welcoming and immediately put me at ease. His manner throughout the appointment was professional and he carried out a thorough physical examination. What stood out most was how clearly he explained his diagnosis and treatment plan which left me feeling reassured and confident moving forward. He also drew on his wider experience in the sports world, which added valuable insight and made his advice feel especially tailored. Overall, I felt very well cared for and would highly recommend him.
Dr Rae listened very well to my history, did a thorough examination and then explained very clearly what he thinks the problem is
