Dr Simon Paul has to be he best doctor I have ever seen. I have been seeing be for just over a year now. I honestly wouldn’t want any other doctor to look after me. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, very patient and always professional. He is extremely polite and understanding. He has a lovely manor about himself. He will go out of his way to help you and offer his support. His secretary Michelle is also so friendly and considerate. Always there at the end of the phone to help. Nothing is a problem.

Explanation

Dr Paul is professional, very thorough, focussed and personable. He made me feel like my issues were his top priority and he left no stone unturned. Dr Paul doesn't waste any time in arranging tests and follow ups, in fact after my first consultation with a painful back and leg issue, he found a way of getting me in for an MRI and Xray very quickly. I have to mention Dr Paul's secretary Michelle Brooks as well. Nothing is too much trouble and she too provides an A1 service, putting me at ease and making speedy arrangements. Both highly recommended !
