I would certainly recommend Professor Levy. He listened most empathetically, has arranged 2 follow up investigations and is arranging a follow up appointment. I felt I was in very capable hands.

Dr Levy listened greatly to my concerns and I felt that he truly cared about my disabling symptoms. My mother and I were impressed by his communication skills and the plan forwards for testing. I will do an updated review after diagnosis/treatment
