I had to wait an hour for the appointment. The consultation itself was fine.
Waiting time was long
Thank you for taking the trouble to leave a review. I am sorry your appointment was delayed: I try very hard to give each patient the time and consideration that they and their condition merit, and unfortunately this does mean that there is occasionally a wait to be seen. Best wishes, Simon Harris
