As good as it gets.......

My second visit to Southface following successful skin tab removal and I have to admit the experience was as good as my first visit. This visit to check my skin for any problems given my concerns about some bits. It was an efficient and effective booking process, a great consult and good communication at all times especially during the consult. Wouldn't hesitate going again.

Allergy session

My session with Dr Andrew Hodder was most disappointing. I had hoped that he would find a solution to my excessive itching brought on by a reaction to night compression stockings. We had a bland talk and an inadequate prescription ( 100g of cream) and no written follow up. A waste of money and I am still kept awake most of the night with the itching.

My clinician was very professional and approachable. She was an experienced and knowledgable practitioner which appealed. I also liked the fact that she had had experience of life. I really enjoyed the way the clinic has been done out . The only thing I would suggest is the offer of water,tea or coffee upon arrival and a wider choice of mags! I shall be returning again because I liked my first treatment very much.
