The doctor is someone you can trust and who knows how to make himself understood. I'm grateful to have him as my doctor.
All staff are very, very professional. Thank you.
Very good.
The staff were very attentive and friendly, the doctor was also very kind and listened to me, and the wait wasn't long.
I'm worried about the results of the biopsy I had done.
