Unfortunately I waited over 2 hours to have about 5 mins with Dr Patel. Told to have blood test and then leave. Exhausted.

Was very pleased with the explanation of the treatment, and the understanding that I wanted to leave the procedure for a few months.

Dr.Patel was listened to my concerns and she carefully reviewed my notes. Dr. Patel assessed me physically and due to my unfortunate situation I was taken to hospital straightaway . I stayed in hospital for nearly two weeks. Without her prompt and professional action I would say thank you.
