Excellent and sorted my problem straightaway. Many thanks and Wish you the very Best
Dr Schechter was so professional efficient and quick into understanding the cause of my pain and treating it. He was extremely friendly and explained things in such a calm and easy way, it was very reassuring. Thank you so much Dr Schechter!!
I took my 4 year old son to see Mr Schechter to remove a foreign body from his ear. Mr Schechter’s approach was fantastic. His manner with my son was fantastic and is skills in the procedure were second to none. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
He was a superstar! Was my pleasure
Very good communication with young children, very confident and approachable.
Very good experience. Had my nose cauterised after many years of severe nose bleeds. Manner of treatment and outcome both excellent. Highly recommend.
Mr. Schechter put me at my ease before endeavouring a tricky intervention on my outer ear. The procedure went an eventfully and I was very satisfied with his career attention and the outcome.
Mr Schechter was highly professional. He clearly outlined my treatment plan and next steps. His amazing bedside manner immediately put me at ease. Thank you!
I really couldn't recommend Mr Schechter highly enough. My initial symptoms were causing me to be very low before attending his clinic at the Spire in Harpenden. However, through his skill, diligence and personable approach, I am now feeling much better. The sinus treatment was a success and I am even finding that my general health and disposition have improved since the beginning of his care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Wishing you all the best and you know how to contact me if anything ever changes
I really couldn’t recommend Mr Schechter highly enough. He reviewed and identified the cause of my problem and presented different options to proceed. When I opted for surgery, he clearly explained the procedure and reassured me about any potential issues that could arise, no matter how unlikely these might be. Consequently, I felt very comfortable attending surgery, which was a great success. Overall, I consider myself very fortunate to have been treated by Mr Schechter and wouldn’t hesitate to seek his advice again in the future.
