I had an excellent experience with Mr Lim. He was incredibly professional, diligent and thorough throughout my appointment. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I fully understood what was happening and what the next steps were. He was extremely reassuring, polite and compassionate, and I never felt rushed. I really appreciated the fact that he made sure every possible avenue was investigated and that nothing was overlooked. I would highly recommend Mr Lim to anyone looking for a professional, thorough and genuinely caring doctor.

Short factual & to the point. Clear explanation of process. Explained that different locations use different procedures that I didn’t realise. EG Ridgeway do a general anaesthetic but others do local depending on circumstances.

Finally a Doctor that takes things seriously and doesnt just go here take this see ya later. He made it clear , thoroughly went through what his POA is. He took charge and made a difference and after years of back and fourth around the country/world. This is the place where I feel they make a difference. Healthy mind Healthy lives. Everyone at the hospital cares , I saw the difference when I walked in.
