Very agreeable personality with the ability to explain matters clearly and concisely. Quick to inform my GP of the outcome of consultations.

The most important thing for me is that he took me and my problem seriously. I get kind of anxious in hospitals but he had patience when talking to me and was friendly enough to make me confortable so I could speak about my problem. We also talked about the problem that I had and didn t just examine me like i was a slab of meat. All in all i had a pleasant time, nothing like what I was expecting.
