I can not fault the superb care I received from Dt Goodchild and his whole team.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr Goodchild. In a nutshell, he gave me back the ability to have a normal life after 9 months of absolute misery with my stomach. Before I saw him, I went via my own GP surgery, who were incredibly supportive and helpful, but being a specialist, Dr Goodchild was quickly able to diagnose me and prescribe a medication which has removed all of my symptoms. I would recommend Dr Goodchild to anyone. I was lucky to have been assigned an appointment with him as I had left it in the hands of my insurer to do this on my behalf.. I certainly lucked out!
10/10, clear communication and patient care, both on the day and after. Smooth process throughout procedure
