Smita was very welcoming and friendly. She instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. She listened carefully. She explained things clearly. She checked I had understood everything and gave me plenty of opportunities to ask questions. She explained and demonstrated a set of exercises to improve the strength and flexibility in my ankle - she gave me a printout to help guide me through these exercises and also emailed a copy to me as well. Finally she made another appointment with me to see her in 4 weeks.
I felt very welcomed, and extremely happy with the explanation of my problem and the advice given , it made me feel much more confident in getting better . The exercises were demonstrated to me and then I was watched very carefully as I did them. By the time I got home I had already received the email with the instructions of the exercises recommended. I have no complaints at all and cannot think of anything that can be improved.
Kev was excellent. He is very knowledgable and explains everything in detail, including illustrating what he is referring to by demonstrating with a skeleton, or by showing how and exercise should be carried out. He takes time to understand his patient’s case and gives them the confidence that they are in the best hands.
Shafeeq was absolutely excellent explained everything very clearly, and was very encouraging with my physio plan. Thank you for the excellent service today.
