Comments included.
Local, friendly, efficient
Going to the hospital can be quite daunting so much prefer to
come to the one life
The thorough information that I was given
Easy to get to and easy to park
Not having to go to the hospital
I was seen very quickly
Friendly staff, well informed
Whole thing was excellent
Size is small so this is more friendly, I was seen really quickly and
looked after really well, couldnt fault my treatment
Everyone was helpful, all very good, made me feel safe
