Mr Cudlip was very open and clear with very good explanations about the growth, showing the MRI image. He also explained the other factors that need to be taken into consideration, which helped to put my particular situation into context. He clearly explained the next steps and the approach to take in terms of the follow up MRI and consultation.

Today was the first time of meeting Mr Cudlip and first impressions were he is very polite. I was shown MRI results from 6 years ago in 2013 (first time I had actually seen them) and explained they match symptoms I'm having. I'm due another MRI scan with a view to possible treatment...watch this space!

The service and care was brilliant, I felt comfortable with Mr Simon Cudlip and I felt safe and reassured about my health. I recommend this surgery to everyone as they do really care about the patients health.

Although the clinic was running late Mr Cudlip was apologetic on our delay. He explained everything to us in straightforward language and put our minds to rest.
