Everyone from the receptionist to the doctor was really kind, chatty kind and careful about how I was feeling the whole process lasted 45 minutes. Brilliant service.

Always prepared to answers questions.
Feels like personal care as an individual.
Makes a difficult experience feel as though you are being cared for as an individual.
I can't speak highly enough of Mr Coombs.

Dr Coombs is the most compassionate and sympathetic Dr I have met with regards to my breast problem.
I have suffered from extreme breast pain for over 30 years and it was only when I met Dr Coombs that I found relief and quality of life.
We patiently tried many option until we came to a solution, unfortunately my medication has ceased to exist in the Uk but Dr Coombs is trying once more to help me.
He seems to put me at ease and allows me to ask as many questions as I like , giving me concise and informative answers. He is a wonderful Dr and I’m very lucky to be under his guidance.
