Eternally thankful to Dr Mukherjee for exceptional service - squeezed me in last minute - spoke to my family on FaceTime so that they could better understand my prognosis, Dr Mukherjee also swiftly sent me a letter after my appointment which I could then take to the NHS. Literally the kindest and most helpful Doctor
