Dr Katira was very welcoming and put us at ease straight away. He gave a detailed and very clear explanation as to why we were there. He listened to what we had to say and at the end of the consultation he gave us plenty of time to ask questions and gus answers were unrushed. The consultation did not feel rushed in any way which was a breath of fresh air given the time constraints in clinics at the moment.
