I found Mr. Skinner to be professional and friendly. He put me at ease with his manner and I approached the procedure feeling confident of his treatment. He recognised that I would need help on leaving the hospital and recommended a firm that I could use.

Mr Skinner has been absolutely instrumental in helping me to get on top of my symptoms. He is very knowledgeable but at the same time will listen to what I have to say and my preferred treatment path, using the least invasive procedure if possible.
