Today's appointment was one of the regular assessments of my condition by Dr Deplano. As usual I find her manner, knowledge, and empathy thoroughly professional, and pleasurable.

I have been a patient in Dr Deplano's clinic for several years. Dr Deplano is an excellent doctor and the patient is never rushed. She has excellent listening and communicating skills. Dr Deplano demonstrates care for her patients at all times and treats everyone with dignity and respect. She explains clearly the diagnosis, any test results and all options in clear and simple terms and answers any questions clearly. Her "bedside" manner is excellent and she is easy to talk to about sensitive issues. She always ensures I have understood what she has discussed and follows up the appointment with the appropriate correspondence to myself and my GP. My experiences of being a regular patient of Dr Deplano have been excellent and her expertise and care are faultless.

Incredibly helpful and supportive to me with a chronic condition. In addition, she liaised with other doctors on my behalf to explain what she was doing and its impact on other treatments.
