I went for a consultation recently with Dr Seward and I was pleasantly surprised by the his refreshing approach. He was welcoming, informative and took the time to ensure I understood everything and he answered any questions I had with honesty and clarity. I have a procedure next week with him and am now feeling confident I am in safe hands. If only I could have Dr Seward as my doctor for everything. Thanks again Dr! Also a mention for his PA Steve who was also very helpful and organised. I had all the information I needed ahead of time and communication was clear and concise and again Steve had a very welcoming approach. Highly recommend.
