Extremely professional. Made me feel at ease immediately. So knowledgeable and thorough. Really took the time to go through things properly with me both at consultation and during the follow up post scan. His explanation of things was invaluable in understanding my underlying symptoms and will be in moving forward. Nothing was too much trouble - very friendly and reassuring
