I have been having problems for over a year and after being unsuccessfully diagnosed asked my GP to refer me to a specialist. I chose Dr Gordon from a list and am very pleased with my choice. From the minute I met him he put me at ease, discussing and understanding my symptoms. I left very confident in his assessment and suggested treatment and would not hesitate in recommending Dr Gordon.

Very personable, easy to talk to, took an interest in my problem and honest in that he said he was not sure what was causing my problems. Suggested medication I could try when a GORD episode occurs, (had medication supplied at Boots within 2 days). Referred me for MRI

Dr Gordon welcomed me to his surgery and encouraged me to describe my symptoms. He gave a clear explanation about what might be causing them, discussed possible actions and we agreed a practical way forward. Dr Gordon took immediate action to implement the plan. The following day I received his report of my consultation and confirmation of my referral for a further test which was carried out within a few days. My consultation with Dr Gordon was constructive, reassuring and efficient.
