Reviews
Dr Paul made a very thorough assessment of my health on my first appointment and recommended a course of action that was both fast and effective to lead to a diagnosis of two painful conditions I have been suffering from. Dr Paul is very impressive but also has a good network of colleagues who have helped me start on what will be a long road to recovery.
Easy to speak to and listened, very thorougher and did not rush you during consultations.
I have always thought highly of Dr Paul. He is easy to communicate with and always does a follow up letter after a consultation with a positive plan in place
Dr Simon Paul has to be he best doctor I have ever seen. I have been seeing be for just over a year now. I honestly wouldn’t want any other doctor to look after me. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, very patient and always professional. He is extremely polite and understanding. He has a lovely manor about himself. He will go out of his way to help you and offer his support. His secretary Michelle is also so friendly and considerate. Always there at the end of the phone to help. Nothing is a problem.
Dr Paul’s kindly manner was matched by a thorough and detailed assessment with full explanations. A clear way forward was mapped out with clear advice and ongoing support.
Dr Paul is very patient and passionate and he really cares about his patients.
I thoroughly recommend Dr. Paul for his knowledge and professionalism. Dr. Paul takes the time to listen and then explains next steps in clear language. I have always thought Dr. Paul takes the best course of action in reaching his diagnosis. Highly, highly recommended.
Dr Paul is professional, very thorough, focussed and personable. He made me feel like my issues were his top priority and he left no stone unturned. Dr Paul doesn't waste any time in arranging tests and follow ups, in fact after my first consultation with a painful back and leg issue, he found a way of getting me in for an MRI and Xray very quickly. I have to mention Dr Paul's secretary Michelle Brooks as well. Nothing is too much trouble and she too provides an A1 service, putting me at ease and making speedy arrangements. Both highly recommended !
