I would highly recommend Mr Oliver Bowes, I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I was very nervous patient and he puts you at ease plus very professional….
The doctor has a very friendly and reassuring manner.He explained things and gave me the opportunity to ask questions.Frankly I don't think there is anything to improve as his care and interaction were wonderful.Thank you Mr.Bowes.
Dr Bowes was very kind and reassuring in our appointment. He provided me with a lot of information and was patient with my questions. We also had a fun time reminiscing about past university days (we studied at Cambridge together at approximately the same time).
