I took my 88-year-old mother to see Mr Kirkland about a swallowing issue. He was very kind and considerate, and explained everything to her clearly. He also discussed the next steps with her in a way she could understand, enabling her to make a decision about her preferred course of action. I would not hesitate to visit Mr Kirkland or recommend him to others.

My visit to Mr Kirkland was very good. I gave his office/secretary all the required information relating to my insurers beforehand yet on arrival I was asked to provide this again and did not have this with me. Just a small point !!

Great reception staff. I chose to go privately due to NHS backlogs however the appointment was disappointing. I paid for 25 minutes but was in there half the time. The consultation felt rushed and I was given the bare minimum information regarding my symptoms and a potential diagnosis. No explanation was offered as to what caused them. Further testing (miles away) was recommended. I have since found somewhere more local that offers the same service.

Mr Kirkland was very friendly and very clear in his instructions. He explained what he was doing and what I needed to do and what the following steps would be. Just the sort of doctor I want.
