Testimonies
I found the facility to be clean and welcoming. All staff I had contact with were excellent, giving care and attention, friendly and supportive. Top class treatment received.
It has always been an excellent experience being admitted and treated here.
The receptionist was very pleasant, the nurses were excellent, both before and after the procedure. The two doctors asked all the right questions, put me at ease and were both excellent.
Thank you to all concerned- what a busy place- even at 0700 hours but everyone was friendly and helpful and this helped me to ease my anxiety about the procedure.
