Mr Cartwright came through when the NHS failed me. Calm, professional and reassuring (and actually listened, not always a given in my experience!). I have a somewhat complicated health condition, and over the years have dealt with a variety of doctors. From a patient point of view, I can wholeheartedly say that Mr. Cartwright is one of the best.
Mr. Rufus Cartwright has been very clear in explaining my pelvic prolapse issue. He is transparent, sensible, and honest in his approach, which has given me a lot of confidence and trust in him. He is highly knowledgeable, and I feel reassured knowing I am in capable hands. I cannot wait to have the surgery and hopefully improve my quality of life.
