Dr Khan met with me at the agreed time. He listened carefully to my problems (which are many), asked sensible questions and immediately came up with a logical plan of action based on my situation. He actioned his end of agreed plan as quickly as I did mine; I'm very grateful.

I was seen on time, a history was taken and he explained previous blood tests and results very clearly to me. He requested a blood test and I have an appt to discuss the result, and which options may help to address my symptoms. I felt reassured that he could help me.
