My 6/52 review was brief and to the point. I appreciated the no nonsense approach.
Everything said was easy enough to understand and was also great help on moving forwards as well
Attending appointment for 3 month checkup after surgery. Mr Wilson was friendly and informative regarding ongoing recovery.
The surgeon was very through and clearly explained everything that was involved. He gave great care when I experienced an issue post surgery.
Dr Wilson is straight to point with no messing around with pleasantries, jargon etc. Efficient. Exactly how a doctors visit should be. Thanks very much
I had a very positive experience. Everything was explained clearly to me and options regarding my knee injury. I felt confident and reassured.
From my initial consultation to surgery was just five weeks, which was impressive. Now, six weeks post-surgery, everything is going better than I could have imagined.
Made me feel at ease and explained the process very well. Highly recommended for anyone with same injury.
