Mr Siau was thorough with his investigation into my issue. Whilst my symptoms had stopped for the time being he has kept my case open for the next 6 months should they flare up again so that a real time examination is available. Thank you

Dr Siau was great at explaining my options pre operation and the operation went according to plan. My follow up with him provided some detailed advice and important self care information.

I had a feeling of something stuck in my throat for months. The prescriptions from my doctor didn't work and I was really worried but I saw this doctor who was able to fit me in quickly and reassure me. His manner was great and he really put me at ease
