We needed a short notice appointment on a Saturday morning for my daughter. We live an hour away but located an appointment with Dr. MacGarrow. We arrived ahead of time and were seen early. Mr MacGarrow was a consummate professional and clearly at the top of his game. Interestingly, he has a specialism in Aviation Medicine (basically medical matters that arise from or relate to time in the air) - by chance, this was perfectly suited to my daughter's condition. A medical referral letter and note to her school was produced there and then. Outstanding service. Highly recommend. Although it is a long way from home for us, we would definitely se Dr. MacGarrow again, as it was worth the drive.
