Reviews
Fantastic Consultant. Mr Wilkinson has previously performed surgical procedures on me due to have a heart attack at a young age (42) and I have multiple stents. I wanted to just check all was well after 14 years and get some Piece of mind via consultation and some tests (GP will not use NHS services as I was not having no pain or symptoms and are only good in reactive situations) Mr Wilkinson is very knowledgeable, professional and always puts me at ease. It was a very positive experience and thankfully all went very well. I would 100% recommend Mr Wilkinson and trust him completely.
