Friendly, fast and efficient

The physio was on time with the video appointment and was very thorough with their assessment. They were helpful and friendly and arranged an in person session with a local physio very quickly. They also provided an exercise plan on the same day. Very happy with the prompt service all round

Very fast and efficient

Very fast and efficient. Only confusion was providing a leaflet on pathology and phlebotomy with no referencing. It made me think I needed a blood test. Otherwise all clear and concise.
