Highly professional, personal approach and exactly what you would want from a highly experienced consultant.
Punctual and professional, I got clear explanations and way forward.
Dr Clifford does not waste words. Appointments with him are timely and direct. The tests he ordered were carried out quickly and efficiently and the results received promptly. I particularly valued his follow up phone call which added depth and understanding to the test results.
Dr Clifford reviewed my symptoms, discussed the likely cause and proposed appropriate diagnostic tests
Dr Clifford listened to the problems, asked relevant questions and provided clear explanations of the issues.
Dr Clifford always finds the time to listen and reassure at a level the patient can understand. At my last visit he did just that, enabling me to leave the consultation worry free, having been reassured about my blood pressure and heart rhythm. He also made it clear that I could always approach him for reassurance if I had further problems and that a review NHS appointment would be made for me anyway a year on.
Dr Clifford was very welcoming and put you at ease as soon as you sat down. He was polite and friendly and listened, without rush, to what you had to say. He explained everything thoroughly.
