Happy with: Value for money
I had a great first session with her, considering that I had been to two doctors before her who were highly qualified and sought after and not finding the comfort I had been looking for had made me skeptical. But I had an instant rapport with her. She is very approachable and like-able, and I was able to open up her about all the issues that I had. Shez really great a true professional , does not claim she will solve your issues in so n so number of sessions like most doctors do, but instills confidence in you while giving you a clear and correct picture of your condition. I felt very positive after meeting her and had an instant trust in her unlike the other physicians I had seen before her.
