Mr Malik has such a lovely manner, instilling confidence and with a genuine warmth. He took the time to find out about me and not just the ailment and I felt he was genuinely interested. He explained all the options so I could make an informed decision. Due to changing jobs my policy was coming to and end shortly and he pulled out all the stops to find a slot for me to have my procedure, for which I am very grateful.
