Great consultation, very happy with the outcome. However still waiting for the emails I was promised this Thursday gone, left a voicemail but no one got back in touch. Please sort this, otherwise was a great appointment and would be back if needed another one. Worth the money

I have shared patients with Philip in the areas of reflux and swallowing problems. Philip is an extremely bright and engaging consultant with a stellar training behind him. The patients I have referred to him tell me they really loved the way he made them feel relaxed, listened carefully to their needs and explained everything in ways they can understand. He has helped me resolve some quite complex problems and I will regularly refer to him in future. Outstanding.
