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

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.
