I have been unwell for the last 16 years, slowly getting worse and at this point I have seen into the hundreds of GPs/consultants/specialists. No one has ever treated me with the kindness and expertise that Prof Del Galdo has. He listens, he is patient and I am so grateful.

I have so much gratitude for Prof. Del Galdo. I have spent 4 years seeing every specialist trying to understand why I’m suffering so many different symptoms. Nobody could tie them all together. Within 2 appointments he had given me an answer. He listens and he cares. Just amazing

I feel very lucky to have Professor Del Gado as my rheumatologist. On my first appointment it was immediately evident that he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. In addition to that he is highly compassionate and an active listener so I am confident in his care.
