Dr Smith was extremely helpful with our son, and was very helpful in helping him with a skin condition, even though he didn't have a flair up at the time of the appointment.
Welcoming and made to feel very comfortable. I instantly felt as though I was in safe hands Thorough professional care done in a friendly manner with clear explanations at all times I would definitely recommend this doctor !
Very thorough and explained things in easy understandable terms
Dr Smith was very reassuring with Hattie & made her feel very at ease. Hattie was really pleased the treatment was actually started today & wasn’t just a consultation & then come back another day for treatment considering we live 90 minutes away!
