From the moment we met Professor Payne we were made to feel comfortable. She explained everything very clearly, and was extremely informative. We left her clinic feeling at ease, more informed and peaceful. Nothing was too much bother for her and the meeting was calm and not rushed. If we could give her more than 5 stars we would.
