Very professional strives to get right, follow up consultations informative well explained.
Dr Allan, listened to me and came up with a plan of action, I know that it is private health care but it is good to feel that you matter and that you do not just have to put up with things because of medication or age, thank you
At my recent consultation, I presented with several concerning symptoms. Dr Allan was caring and compassionate. He took the time to talk through potential causes before sharing the optimal approach for further investigation.
The consultation was handled on a timely and professional basis.
My most recent appointment was on line . It went very well and was easy to set up . I didn’t feel rushed at all and Dr Allan was very clear and informative .
My consultation was excellent, Dr Allan was thorough and took the time to understand the symptoms I was experiencing. Following my initial consultation, I had blood tests and a colonoscopy scheduled. I was nervous before the colonoscopy but the procedure was much easier than I expected and painless. Dr Allan was kind and respectful which is so important and helped me to feel more relaxed.
Wonderful friendly staff who reassured me throughout my time there. Explained everything fully and clearly
Dr Allan is a very kind and understanding gastroenterologist. He has an excellent bedside manner and is very calm, caring and friendly. He answered all the questions I asked and also explained in great detail the tests and procedures he would be running to try and figure out my current pain issues.
