My whole experience was excellent from reception to discharge with very little waiting. The nurses and Dr Blackmore were kind, friendly and very professional. Dr Blackmore took time to explain the consent form and possible risks very clearly. She was very professional and gentle throughout the procedure and explained what she was seeing and doing very clearly. I was able to look at the screen which was reassuring. When it became rather painful she increased the sedation a little. I had a significant drop in blood pressure and heart rate in recovery which was a little frightening but it was dealt with very quickly and competently and I felt fine on discharge. I was given the medical report and photos be hire so left with advice what happens next and what to do if I experienced any problems. Many thanks to Dr Blackmore and her team for the whole experience.

Dr Blackmore is very caring and approachable. She carried out the procedure with minimal discomfort for me even though it was at times tricky. She explained what would happen well in advance and was thorough in providing feedback after it.
