Seeing Dr Malcolm has been nothing short of a pleasure. He was so knowledgeable and and explained everything very thoroughly. I’ve never received this type of care and he’s just been the best. Not only do I feel reassured and safe under his care, but I finally managed to get a diagnoses after 5 years of chasing many healthcare professionals to confirm that I have hypothyroidism.
