I saw Mr Chammaa regarding my back pain and what looked like worrying results from an MRI. From the start, he was reassuring. He talked me through the results of the scan, making sure I understood everything, and he had no issues answering all of my questions. He gave practical advice and was keen to point out that he would be there if the current plan of action was not enough. He is a very pleasant doctor to talk to
