Reviews
Mr Phillips put me at ease once I explained my symptoms, I was concerned that this could have been a recurring condition that I have . Following a comprehensive examination, a potential problem was identified. Mr Phillips recommended an additional uncomplicated test as a precautionary measure to exclude any other possibilities.
