Written by a carer at Spire London East Hospital
8th March 2015


Dr. Porcari has worked with my son for over 6 months. He suffered from severe depression and was clearly concerned about him. She managed to help my son to open up and share his worries, she has also commenced him on medications and after 4 months he was already much better! He is now back in school, having his normal life back! I will always be thankful to this doctor
