Dr Wells was considerate, empathic and answered all my questions in detail. This was a follow-up visit; the previous investigations and treatment were timely for me, and he fitted me in to an already busy schedule.
I found the whole experience to have been very easy, straightforward, and very well communicated to me. It was also dealt with extremely quickly, and was able to give us a sense of peace and calm in a very short space of time.
I received exceptional care and attention from Dr Wells throughout my appointment. He assured me that comments made by other professionals about my heart condition were not as drastic as I thought they were! And he put my mind at ease. He was very helpful and gave me the confidence to continue living life as fully as possible.
Dr Wells explained everything well, and what my future options were depending on the results of the scans and tests Dr Wells was arranging. accordingly i was given good insight into my situation, and look forward to my follow up appointment.
Investigations done rapidly and called me to discuss results, even from his holiday!! Great experience.
He was very easy to talk to and had obviously read all my notes and history. A follow up appointment was arranged quickly and the results were clearly explained as well as being reassuring.
I was seen quickly and my test arranged very quickly- even though not urgent. My results were sent by email with the option to be seen if I needed a face to face - a much more convenient approach since I live some distance away.
