Good description of the situation and ongoing requirements
Prompt. Clear explanation of condition and surgical procedure provided.
really enjoyed my visit to Sarum Road. All the staff were kind and welcoming. The student nurse Daniella was extremely kind and reassuring and Mr Ambrose was brilliant, explained everything in detail and made the whole slightly alarming process easy and pleasant. Highly recommend.
Super to have treatment at last after many years of being dismissed by the NHS. I am most grateful.
