Professor Rustin was very thorough - taking the history of my son’s condition and examining him. He explained the treatment plan clearly - demonstrating how the medications prescribed should be used, to give the best results. His outlook was very positive and refreshing. He dictated a letter to my son’s GP - which I feel will be invaluable to my son’s continuing care. I’m so grateful to Professor Rustin for his care, attention to detail and expertise.

I had a consultation with Professor Rustin last week - he truly is a great Physician with lots of knowledge, very friendly, and took time to explain my diagnoses in detail. The medication he prescribed is already working! I would absolutely recommend.
