Mr Gooding was an absolute gentleman. On my first visit I was held up in traffic and late for my appointment and Mr Gooding waited for me to arrive. He has a very calming manner and explained everything . On the visit today I had an injection which unfortunately made me feel dizzy for a few minutes and he was so good at dealing with this . Mr Gooding was recommended to me and I can see why . I would definitely recommend him myself .
