I went to see Dr Bloch, for a consultation to review the various tests I have recently had to understand the impilcations and what the next steps would be. Dr Bloch had a kind, calm and re-assuring manner, she explained the results clearly and set out a plan for my future treatment. I came away from the consultation feeling happy and re-assured about my tests results and the next steps.

It was very good to meet Susannah and a relief. I have had breathlessness for some time but haven’t been able to identify why or what can be done about it because my treatment at my NHS GPs practice has not been consistently with any doctor and there has been no follow up to tests etc. Susannah described what the causes might be and the testing that can be carried out promptly to assess these.

It was a quick and businesslike phone call with results of a PET scan. Good news, so not an extensive discussion
