Dr Azzopardi, has been at all times, extremly professional, kind and patient. I had quite a lot of questions before the da of my treatment and no question was too much for him, even if he had answered it previously. I could not be happier.
Dr Azzopardi explained in detail to me what my condition was and made it very clear to me the problem I have. I am still having treatment with him regarding the problem I have.
