This visit to Kims and the meeting with Mr Hesse were all of a high standard. I could not suggest any way this could have been improved

After long 3 and half years of struggling on attempting to diagnostic my Ankylosing Spondylitis, Michael managed with aid of one of his colleagues whom is Rheumatologist to prescribe something that was AS related. They figure it out and I'm very thankfull

I would definitely recommend Mr Hess, I think he is a very good doctor. However, do not expect a comforting & sympathetic approach. Mr Hess has a very matter of fact manner, but once past this, his advice is valuable.
