Excellent doctor. Mr. Downes explained my condition clearly and how to carry out a protocol that would alleviate my pain. I have been offered surgery if this protocol doesn't work over the next few weeks. He also took a thorough history of my previous gynaecological issues. He had a very relaxed attitude and would happily see him again for any medical dilemmas.

It was lovely meeting Mr. Dawn, he was very welcoming & made me feel at ease, which wasn’t the easiest after being for 38 years with Mr. Mason. He was very efficient and explained to me every step of procedure which went on very smoothly. Emma and Debbie were very helpful and pleasant too.
