A little bit more explaining as im unsure what he found.
Mr Smith was absolutely excellent: during my consultation, I felt he really listened and quickly grasped the details of my case. He explained things very clearly, and after thorough discussion, was able to suggest a way forward which will hopefully resolve my chronic pain. In addition to his obviously extensive knowledge, experience and expertise, he’s also a really nice guy! I would thoroughly recommend!
