We were able to discuss everything with him and he is very understanding about our concerns.
Mr Silk was very clear, informative and helpful when discussing our daughter’s scoliosis. Presented the options and next steps very clearly. Thanks
I dont think there is any constructive criticism i could give - I see no way for him to improve! He is very kind and today went out of his way to fit in an unscheduled appointment. He is very efficient and always is clear about what is going on and explains what everything means, he doesn’t just use complex medical terms. When the first potential cause was dismissed he continued to look for other reasons rather than just giving up.
Mr Silk was exceptionally professional and covered all points clearly in an understandable layman’s language. Gave the feeling of total trust in himself and the procedures as well looking at the risks.
I have to say I can’t make any suggestions on how he can improve.
Mr Silk understands my condition and came up with options for me extremely efficiently.
