Reviews
Dr. Cubbin is both highly professional and very caring. She took great pains to listen and understand the problems that I have been having. Her help, advise and support have been invaluable to me.
A caring and intelligent doctor. She was professional yet sympathetic and gave me hope and confidence at a time when I was very depressed and had low self esteem. Without wishing to sound over dramatic, she has made a difference to my life.
Dr Cubbin is a calm and gentle person who did much outside her brief to help us. Generous with her expertise, she was also open to all our concerns and suggestions - indeed keen to learn from our own experience. She was respectful and gentle to my mother (who suffered from dementia) and was at no time patronizing or dismissive.
My father was looked after by Dr Cubbin when he was terminally ill with advanced dementia. He had a peaceful end to his life for which we are most grateful. We were continuously kept informed about his care, and decisions were always shared with us in a very sensitive and appropriate way. She went beyond the call of duty to spend time with us and answer our questions. I would say that such a genuinely caring and dedicated doctor is rare. It made the process of coping with his death much easier.
Dr Cubbin has every desirable quality one could wish for in a Doctor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
