Managed to balance being professional and trustworthy with being approachable and reassuring. I wasn't feeling particularly concerned about the appointment but she put me even more at ease and I can easily imagine her being totally reassuring with others. She happily answered questions too. I haven't got any improvements to suggest although the appointment was delayed which was acknowledged and explained and probably beyond the individual's control.

I met Mrs Craig for the first time today. She is a lovely lady listened to everything I said and we discussed the possible causes in great detail. She was extremely honest and upfront with me, although she herself couldn’t offer treatment she pointed me hopefully in the right direction. I felt extremely at ease talking to Mrs Craig and wouldn’t hesitate to see her again if the need arises. She came across as a truly genuine caring doctor

Straightforward, clear and to the point, listened with interest about my concerns and suggestions. Discussed my procedure collaboratively. Happy when I came out of my appointment, full understanding of what my procedure would entail and the follow up.
