I can’t speak highly enough of Prof Keen. He gave an easy to understand analysis of my scan results and was friendly and thoroughly reassuring throughout our consult. Highly recommended.

Made me feel he had time to listen. Then he recommended a treatment that has not been suggested before by my NHS consultant. It will make such a difference to me- and my family.
