I had a great first experience at London Bridge Hospital! All staff on site were exceptionally polite & helpful. After feeling unheard & anxious with not getting the right help through the NHS and long waits for tests/ appointments, I did some research and found Dr Harding and booked a consultation. I found him very thorough, attentive and informative, and following my appointment, I feel much more positive & confident I’ll have more of an understanding of my health issues and the best course of action for my recovery.
