Mr Robb was very thorough in his approach and very helpful in getting to the root of our son’s issues. He was friendly yet professional and very knowledgeable. Would not hesitate going back to Mr Robb if necessary.
I cannot recommend Mr Robb enough. He’s absolutely wonderful. His bedside manner is wonderful. He’s kind and considerate and listens and understands our concerns and is kind when responding. He uses his own experiences to reassure me and my daughter all is normal and not to worry or be embarrassed which made her feel “normal”. I feel so lucky we found him. I wish all consultants were like him.
Mr Robb saw my 6 year old daughter and was excellent. She was really nervous and he put her at ease with his lovely manner and his knowledge and expertise was very quickly obvious from the way he spoke to us and explained all his tests and thoughts on diagnosis. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
Very quick and clear explanation of situation and potential options for treatment or in our case not to treat.
very professional and helpful. Listened to my daughter and came out with a treatment that was none invasive to start with which was welcome
We received a high level of care and good advice for the future.
