Good experience in that some causes were eliminated but disappointed that further investigation required.
Really good and helped advise the correct way to proceed and explain everything
Obviously I was a little apprehensive having this procedure but the nursing staff were fantastic as was Dr. Ralphs and I found the whole treatment was nothing like I was led to believe and that definitely was due to their care and attention. Thanks to all the concerned .
I found the experience very professional and caring. It made me feel at ease and confident that the treatment I was getting was the best possible.
A simple and quick way to speak to my consultant without the need to travel to the hospital.
Recently had an investigation into reflux symptoms, within 2 weeks i had a camera investigation and feedback was given straight away
Excellent service the staff was very friendly and was talking me through everything.
