Dr Oates was very clear from the start about how the clinic runs and what it can offer. My Husband received a thorough medical history being taken by Dr Oates, followed by a thorough physical examination. We were then given our options and advised on what tests would be beneficial. We felt very supported throughout and feel we can trust Dr Oates to provide good care for my Husband
