They noted that the staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful.
On the other hand, some reviewers had negative experiences. Karen Hannam was surprised to encounter rude and condescending staff during a recent visit. Fiona Coulter was equally disappointed, citing unprofessional behavior from the owner when she voiced her dissatisfaction.
Waiting Times

Specialist Availability
Paul Creaser had a mixed experience, praising the clinic's service and knowledge but noting that the specialist was not available at short notice, which was concerning for him.
