Dr Gamble listen carefully and offers pragmatic and clear advice in plain English. His follow up letter captured our consultation accurately with a clear remediation plan.
We decided to go private because of such a long NHS waiting list and genuine concerns over Steen‘s health. It was money well spent. We felt very confident in Dr Gamble’s.examination and conclusion. We feel so relieved to have a diagnosis. Brian
Helpful thorough and professional clear explanations
Dr Gamble is professional and caring. Meticulous and thorough in assessment.
Within hours of booking my appointment on line, Dr Gamble sent me an e mail, acknowledging the information I had sent and giving me an insight as to the likely tests he would consider during my appointment. This was very helpful and very much appreciated. Dr Gamble was very thorough and explained everything during my appointment and arranged further tests for evaluation.
This was a very productive and pleasant consultation. My situation was reviewed in detail and I was given a clear and understandable assessment. Next steps were discussed and agreed.
As always, a very friendly, informative appointment. All my questions answered and thorough explanations given. Discharged with a clear plan. An ECG,Pacemaker check & ECHO completed by very efficient staff. Thank you
