Actual appointment was great, but I found the booking confirmation a little confusing. Had to chase after the initial contact with her PA. All worked out in the end and Dr Pilkington was lovely.

We met Dr Pilkington back in February 2017. Got a diagnosis the same day and started treatment two weeks later. Such a lovely lady, really positive and reassuring. Have been receiving amazing aftercare ever since.
