Mr Wharton is as good as it gets, when hoping for the best consultant.
Check up involving an X-ray and consultation. All done on time with good outcomes. Very pleased.
Consultant was very pleasant and explained everything clearly. Unfortunately the appointments were running over an hour late
Unfortunately, they were running behind schedule. About 10 mins after my appointment time I was advised that I would not be seen for around 45 minutes. About 45 mimutes later I was advised that I was next in line. I was eventually seen about 80 minutes after my appointment time. Whilst delay was frustrating the communication was good and understand the delay created by unrealistic time per patient schedule.
Mr Wharton explains everything well, listened to my concerns and provided me with choices and the information I needed. I appreciate his calm manner and am grateful for his advice.
My recent visit was excellent and he was very professional in attending to my son . My son David said I tell you thank you for being a good doctor 👍🏻
Mr Wharton has been fantastic from start to present with my arm issues (not fully healed yet). He has always been clear, kind and confident at every appointment. He has put me at ease throughout my operations, and has been understandinv and taken my job and hobbies into account when treating me. I cannot recommend him enough!
