Had the great pleasure of once again meeting Mrs Craig with my 94 year old Mum. Her ability to empathize and explain the medical processes is second to none, and we have every confidence in her abilities. You are without doubt in safe hands. Thank you Mrs Craig.

Mrs Craig creates a welcoming, friendly and professional environment which puts you at ease and able to discuss all possible symptoms at a stressful time. Despite running late, due to an unexpected emergency the consultation didn't feel rushed allowing full discussion and assessment of symptoms, conditions and history. Her actions/decisions were decisive giving confidence in the proposed action plan. At the end she gave positive reassurance ensuring that I did not leave overstressed and confident that things will be sorted out. You feel that you are being treated aa a whole person and not just another patient with problems/complaints.

Seeing Mrs Craig and having a stoma have changed my life. It's an operation I should have had 10 years ago if only it had been offered to me. No more bowel problems. I'm free to do whatever I want without the worry of having a bowel accident.
