What Our Patients Say
We were treated by John Sinclair, he was enthusiastic and attentive. His care was superb, second only to his hymour. He was extremely knoledgeable and professional. Everyone at the centre, was helpful and considerate.
Excellent service, very helpful staff.
Ciaron, I can't thank you enough, it was an absolute top class service. We got there at 16.45, I filled in the iPad, booked in at reception. We waited only 5 minutes to see Riz, he examined my son, really put him at ease talking about football. Recommended an x-ray. We only waited about 7 minutes for the x ray. After 10 minutes, Riz came for us to say good news, nothing broken and spoke really lovely to my son. There were people in reception that were still waiting to be seen, and we had completed all of the process. Was absolutely amazing service! I can't thank you and Riz enough. The NHS and us are so lucky to have you.
