I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Matthew Oates following my consultation this evening. He took the time to really listen, examine me thoroughly and explain his thinking and the next steps. He was honest, reassuring and incredibly attentive throughout. I particularly appreciated his understanding of the financial commitment involved in private healthcare. He acknowledged this openly and reassured me about the approach he was taking, which meant a great deal. Having spent some time trying to get answers about my health, what stood out most was the pace at which he was prepared to move things forward, without compromising the time and attention he gave me. I never once felt rushed, and for the first time in a while, I left feeling that there was a clear plan and real progress towards finding answers. Outstanding care from a doctor who genuinely listens, takes concerns seriously and clearly wants to help. I’m extremely grateful.
This is not the first time I’ve had the pleasure to attend Southside Medical Private Clinic, but it is the first time I’ve attended for myself. The previous occasion being for my Husband. What drew me back is the professionalism of Dr Matthew Oates. He is a wonderful Doctor / GP and his manner puts you at ease and makes you feel you can talk about anything with him. I felt so well supported by Dr Oates this morning and would not hesitate to return to see him. I would very highly recommend this Clinic.
