Overall it was a relief to have Dr Maidens help. His insight has helped give me the awareness to begin making some positive changes. Very professional and efficient.

Dr Maiden was clear, articulate, and concise. He identified the problem and came up with a plan that could solve the problem.Fingers crossed. Thank you
Seamless.Painlesd.Well cared for.Lovely breakfast afterwards.
I arrived late although allowing extra due to various diversion in the area, I was received politely and was directed to the waiting area I just had time to and was asked to proceed to see Doctor Maiden who greeted me in a friendly manner and we discussed my symptoms he the gave his opinion as to hw t approach my problem. He explained he proposed that I should do to help with my condition and wanted to do a follow up endoscopy which will be done next week.
Dr Maiden is a very clear, sympathetic communicator who listens very carefully. I left the consultation feeling well informed about my next course of action and with a prioritised list of things to check and to try. This contributed to a thoroughly positive patient experience at a rather worrying time.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Maiden for the outstanding care he provided. Dr. Maiden is highly professional, kind, and compassionate. He explains everything clearly and takes the time to ensure you fully understand your condition and treatment options. What impressed me most was his ability to keep me calm throughout the process. He never created any unnecessary worry, while still being honest and thorough, which gave me great confidence and reassurance. I feel very fortunate to have met Dr. Maiden and to have been under his care. He is an exceptional doctor, and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise, professionalism, and kindness. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.
