Very understanding with fantastic knowledge and recommended great products which will help me improve day to day living
Thank you. Improving day to day living is what it is all about!
Andrew is very easy and friendly to talk with and I was completely at ease throughout my consultation with him. It became very clear during our conversation that he is passionate about his job, a caring personality and has an excellent knowledge of his speciality.
All of which made me feel relaxed with him and assured I was in excellent hands.
Thanks for this great feedback. It is important to me that folks can feel relaxed and safe in the clinics.
Not all of the stoma nurses are any way as good as this . The stoma nurse who altered the quantities on the produce I use I would not recommend , trust and if I knew who it was I certainly would not listen to them .
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Your views are important to us. I am happy that I was able to help and I hope that future encounters with the other members of the team prove to be just as useful.
Very down to earth practical advise and offered a video call. Andrew also provided an email address should I have any further concerns. He also sent further emails to confirm information given to me and to let me know the new products he had sent out.
Hello, I am glad you found the 'virtual' way of working useful. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. You know where I am if you need me.
I found Andrew very helpful and caring and easy to talk to. I have met Andrew an a few occasions and always found him quite respectful. Yesterday he put me at ease as I was worried about my stoma area and the problems it was causing . I am now more confident.
Thank you
