I was very pleased with my consultant. The hospital was very good but it was a l long way for me to come and the late afternoon appointment time meant I hit the rush hour returning home but another time I would try for a different time.

My GP has the philosophy that if you start testing for things you'll find problems which is a really bad attitude to have. Dr. Farah recognised that there were potential issues and requested some tests and as a result likely saved my life. A doctor that understands. Thank you!
