What past patients say...
Dr Smith has been fitting contraceptive devices for over 15 years, and has received many compliments, below are just a few.
Dr Smith is like a breath of fresh air. After visiting my GP surgery for a year about my perimenopausal symptoms and be told you are to young, does not show in your blood etc, Dr Smith listened and was understanding and after requesting my medical records has prescribed HRT. I would recommend Dr Smith at The Coil Clinic for menopause symptoms.
Made a pretty awkward and unpleasant experience bearable.
I felt welcomed, at ease, and able to fully discuss my concerns and health.
