On time. Attentive, listened, constructive advice. Kind and friendly
I found Mr Rudd to be professional and personable. He took his time to listen to my concerns, answer my question’s and explained to me what I needed to know in a calm and informative manner. He carried out a minor investigative procedure during my appointment and I felt reassured by the time I walked out of his office.. His service was excellent and would totally recommend.
I went to see Dr Rudd for an outer ear infection. Was seen incredibly quickly, Dr Rudd thoroughly explained each step of what he was doing. I also had a minor procedure and was impressed at how thorough and professional Dr Rudd was. The level of expertise was great and I would highly recommend seeing him.
Mr Rudd was very patient and listened carefully to the medical history and then showed a lot of consideration for the situation in explaining the diagnosis. He went out of his way to help and resolve the issue. There are no reservations about recommending Mr Rudd or returning to his clinic in the future.
I was seen by Dr. Rudd in May 2025 over concerns about a thyroid nodule. He led the whole treatment and performed my thyroid removal surgery perfectly. I sincerely thank him for his professionalism, patience and expertise.
