Incredibly friendly and patient. The whole appointment I felt comfortable and at ease. She was willing to answer any questions and made friendly conversation throughout. Was a lovely experience in a situation that many women dread.
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I completely understand that procedures like coil insertions can cause a lot of anxiety, so it means a lot to know that our conversation helped put you at ease. I am so glad it was a positive experience for you.
I was so happy with the care I received with polly today. She was absolutely lovely, reassuring and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel so much more at ease as I was very worried and emotional. After such a long and emotional journey, I really appreciated how listened to and supported I felt with in the appointment. I left the appointment feeling genuinely positive and reassured, which is something I’ve not felt for a while and I’m so grateful for the care she gave me today.
