Absolutely excellent consultation - the specialist doctor took her time to review my symptoms carefully and I feel very listened too. Her bedside manner was exceptional and I am extremely pleased with how this initial contact went. The reception were all friendly and kind, as were the phlebotomist. Couldn't ask for anything better.

My son has been seeing Dr Cikurel for twelve years, he has a complex neurological condition. She has always shown a rare level of understanding and compassion in the way she communicates with him and supports us as a family. As I’m his mum and only support I have always felt listened to and respected which has made an enormous difference over the years. My son and I have complete trust in Dr Cikurel. My son and I have never felt rushed and it’s so obvious that she genuinely cares and will go that extra mile. She is very quick to respond and with everything she must have to do it’s amazing. As I said my son’s condition is complicated and she can explain it in a way that even I can understand. We are so lucky to have her in our lives
