An amazing doctor who listened to me and knew what was wrong and what I needed to do. She explained everything in plain English. Highly recommend her.

Mrs Craig has a warm and friendly personality making it easy to discuss problems with her. She was extremely thorough and explained everything at the first appointment and subsequent appointment. I never felt rushed and was able to ask a number of questions which were answered patiently.

Initially I was very nervous and anxious as I didn’t know what to expect, however Christine listened very carefully as I was explaining my symptoms. She asked me some questions and did the examination. Throughout the whole thing she was making me aware of what she was doing every step of the way. She then gave me a diagnosis and advised me of treatment options. The great thing about her was she was also quite funny and made me feel at ease. It was like speaking to a friend ! Without me having to say anything she picked up on the fact I felt embarrassed and nervous and had easily put my mind at rest. I would definitely 100% recommend. She is very professional at the same time. Thank you.

Professional, warm, direct and a listener. Experienced and skilled but able to get to the core of concerns often of a very personal and longstanding problem. Not major, but nevertheless increasingly impacting on daily life. Major treatments are not always required in medicine generally, but difficult to find a professional that is able to be direct, kind and truly understands that starting at the beginning with a health issue involves interaction with the patient, viewing things from their pointf view whilst applying professional skill and knowledge to resolve the issue in hand. A skill that is difficult to find in the UK health service but sorely needed. Thank you Mrs Craig!

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. Judith Stenner
