There was a mix up with my appointment when i arrived at the clinic, the outpatients had previously cancelled my appointment with Mrs Craig & re arranged the time & they had changed me to a different consultant which i didn't realise until upon arrival to the dept. I asked the nurse if i could be seen by Mrs Craig, she said her clinic was full today, but did kindly offer to ask Mrs Craig if she would see,once i had explained that i had been under Mrs Craig previously 7 years ago and only wanted to see her. Mrs Craig kindly agreed to see me providing i didn't mind waiting until she had seen her appointments at the end of the clinic. I would say this was giving great care and going above and beyond to ensure that her patients go away happy and are not just a number. Mrs Craig is very professional and has a great bed side manner.

I was diagnosed with colon cancer in November 2018. Mrs. Craig, told me the worst; and the best. thankfully for me, I had a superwoman on my side. Mrs. Craig put me at ease, by explaining everything. had my operation in December, in 4 hours I went from cancer to no cancer. I was up and walking about next day, home the following day. I am on chemo at moment, to do clean up. soon be over, and my life can start again. I owe my life to mrs craig; for which I will be eternally grateful.

From my own experience, Mrs Craig is brilliant. She is down to earth, very understanding, and very thorough; an outstanding physician. Together with other members of the colorectal team, she has monitored my progress since June 2015, keeping an expert eye on what could have developed into more sinister symptoms. I remain under her watch currently. Mrs Craig is extremely informative, and communicates all matters of diagnosis/prognosis, in such a way that gives her patients the knowledge to understand their condition, and work with her to establish a suitable course of treatment. I owe her much respect, and my heartfelt thanks.

I visited this doctor on the 12th February. I found her to be very easy to speak to. She listened to everything I said and put me at my ease. I felt so much better when I left her consultation rooms.

Gave me the facts whilst being reassuring. Excellent results from her surgeries and no complications. Her care felt very personal and above any expectations I arrived with. I could not recommend her highly enough, anyone in her care can count themselves very lucky.
