The whole experience with Mr. Stapleton was good. Of course there was some pain but that was to be expected and it was bearable. Cannot fault KIMs hospital in any way. It is early days yet as it was only a few hours ago, fingers crossed it will solve the problem of the ingrowing toenails.

I had attended to have a lump reviewed on my toe which Liam scanned and has subsequently referred to a surgical colleague. I was also suffering with an Achilles issue which Liam assessed and recommended some non invasive treatment. Overall very happy with his consultation and follow up treatment recommendations
