Despite letting us know bad news, she was incredibly caring and comforting with details of the recommended investigation plan explained. The 7.30pm call was very much over-and-beyond the call of duty. We could not have had better care.
Thank you so much for giving me a review when you are feeling so poorly. I do hope we get to the bottom of your symptoms.
Worth every penny. I have never been given so much time, understanding and support from a GP. Everything was explained well and a plan in place for a referral. Very happy with my visit and would definitely visit again Thank you
