Where to start, Dr Malcolm Smith restored my faith in Doctors. He listens, understands and most importantly treats the patient and not the numbers. He took on board my feelings and how symptoms were affecting me and then treated accordingly. A very nice down to earth gentleman. Feel lucky to have found him as my Doctor.
