My very first visit with Dr Paul today was just so special. His casual introduction set the scene for the rest of my visit. There was nothing serious that needed attention, but, should I ever require more urgent or serious treatment, I would not hesitate to return. His assistant, Debbie, was equally down to earth, and encouraging, as I was very nervous. He calmed me down, and kept up a steady chat as he carried out the treatment. 5 stars for you Dr Paul, and, again, thank you for your warm and caring approach. Thank you Debbie, I sensed your smiling face even behind the mask.Posted on Google![]()
