Brilliant appointment with Professor Gideon Lack. He really reassured me about my allergies and took everything into consideration. From the first few minutes of my appointment I felt reassured that I was going to get the answers and help I needed. The appointment never felt rushed, and I felt like he was really listening to my questions and needs.
