Immediately at ease with a feeling of being in the presence of a unique professional skilled in issues that many people fail to be able to express. Have spent 20+ yrs hesitating to express own personal but relevant physical problems primarily associated with childbirth. What a relevation to find a practitioner of such perception( but common regretfully of similar issues amongst the female population) that require advice, perhaps intervention, perhaps serious consideration of procedures to correct their issues. BUT first things first and Mrs Craig listens--- amazing, sooo expertise in literally bottoming a problem and following through with a plan of follow up. This is magic and for someone of such high expertise/ qualification addressing many women's basic concerns is a major, major contribution to society's health that continues to be overlooked. Ladies-- talk to this woman--she may not be exactly what you need in the end but a great place to start and worth every penny.

My first meeting with Mrs Craig went so much better than I thought. She immediately put my mind at ease and listened to everything I told her. I had been extremely anxious with my embarrassing problem but I needn't have worried. Its all just another day at work for her and I relaxed just after a few minutes. After a simple examination she put a plan into place and put my mind at ease. She found me a date agreeable to us both and it's in the diary!

I saw Mrs Craig about a recurring rectal prolapse. I found her to be extremely approachable and kind and she made me feel entirely at ease with a problem that can be very embarrassing to talk about. Mrs Craig was very easy to talk to and provided guidance and advice in a clear and sensitive manner. A very lovely lady who I would thoroughly recommend.
Mrs Christine Craig was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2023 for delivering outstanding care.
