Dr Caruana Galizia was friendly, sympathetic and thorough. She had absorbed the medical information I had previously uploaded, and we had a very productive, detailed and helpful conversation, an account of which she emailed to me later in the day. I now have a clear idea of the path ahead, and I'd recommend her without reservation.
