Mr Collins made you feel very relaxed and explained in detail exactly what had happened and what the surgery and post surgery would involve. Extremely professional.
From the moment I walked in, Mr Collins put me at ease. He asked me about my health history before looking at the test results and reports I brought with me. I felt confident that he would address my concerns and suggest a suitable course of action, which is what he did.
Good experience, timely and put me at ease. Pleased with how he explained things Have sent a couple of follow up questions as thought of them after I left
This was a follow-up visit. Very cordial, informative, explanatory and advice about my condition. Examination careful and aware of surroundings. Pleased to arrange a 6 month check up.
Great bedside manner. Incredibly reassuring and knowledgeable. Totally at ease- like talking with an old friend even about very sensitive topics.
Felt comfortable with Mr Collins, we went through my recent history and discussed any issues
Gerald has a pleasant manner and a positive attitude, which is necessary when dealing with life threatening conditions. More reassuring than the limited options available with generic NHS protocols!
Mr Collins was very professional , very knowledgeable and had a great 'bedside manner' with me. He took his time, didn't rush me and thoroughly explained things to me, drew some decent diagrams and put me at ease
