Totally satisfactory in every way, thank you.
That's lovely thank you. It was my pleasure!
Felt very at ease, discussed issues with confidence, helped by offering alternative for sore skin. I didn’t feel rushed and felt there was a great effort to get to know me as an individual not just another patient. Thankyou
Thanks for this review. We find that getting to know you is the best way to help.
Andrew listened to me and was very helpful, chatty and friendly.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you found the consultation helpful.
Very clear, concise and understanding. Took appropriate time to explain new ways of managing my stoma which I feel will have a positive impact. Gave very good advice and was relatable, helped me to feel at ease straight away. Overall a good and beneficial consultation. Thank you!
I have known Andrew since my operation in 2015 and he has always been there for me whenever I needed help and advice. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for him.
Thank you Andrew.
