Excellent doctor. He listens and gives his patient time to explain what happened. Comprehensive when explaining medical terms and what to expect with the problem at hand. Gives excellent reassurance that the patient can reach out any time when you have questions.

Patients comments

Dr Evans explained my condition and recommended treatment very clearly. My only concern was the unexpectedly large bill for tests at SJE, although met by BUPA, the blood tests used 1/3 of my annual outpatient allowance! But I feel well set up for being treated by my very good GP
