Professor Somani was extremely pleasant to speak to and was able to reassure me as regards the treatment I needed. I suffer with anxiety so this was vital. He had studied my notes thoroughly to familiarise himself with my medical history and he had formulated a plan for treating me, prior to our appointment. I have complete confidence that I am in safe hands.
