It was, as always, an excellent consultation with Dr Tomlinson for my Mother. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring and has the kindest manners. His treatment has made a big difference to mum and he makes sure mum understands everything - no question is brushed off. We have no hesitation in recommending him.
