I had an excellent consultation. Unfortunately the tests that we were discussing took many months to get done. This was not Dr Allan's fault. My advice to other patients would be to get tests done privately if you want them done speedily.

Overall was good - only slight negative was that the procedure was an hour behind schedule despite being early in the morning. The pre and post op calls to check on taking medication were very good.
