I am only able to coment based on one meeting
This was a pre op meeting but I did feel I could trust him,
and felt at ease.
He asked what tablets I was taking, and how I felt in myself. Our meeting did not take long.
There was a wait of approx 50 minutes before we were seen.

It was the first time i felt that someone was listening to me, as i have always felt like i was wasting a doctor's important time, but the doctor assured me he would try and help me find out why i am now constantly in discomfort on a daily basis, i hope so too as i would like to have a bit more of a quality of life.
