Explanation

My daughter has experienced excellent care with doctor Kathy. She was under great stress with a skin complaint that she has been suffering all her life. She has had very little sympathy from the NHS and this is clearly a distressing matter for my young daughter who has been missing school, activities, play dates. Etc. Due to the discomfort of her condition. We arrived to see doctor Kathy who treated my daughter​ with great care. She excelled and we have the utmost trust in her to do the best for my daughter. Anyone who is thinking of booking an appointment should not hesitate in the slightest I have every faith that you would get the best treatment like we have experienced. Nothing was too much and the receptionist was extremely helpful too.
