Absolutely fantastic decision to see Dr De Silva . She made me very comfortable and her professionalism is excellent. I would always recommend her to anyone.
Dr.DeSilva welcomed me back with the biggest smile. The first thing she did was put my mind at ease by telling me my DEXA scan result was fine. She told me how proud and happy she was that I had followed her recommendation of daily exercise, healthy diet and taking walks in the sunshine. She explained to me the treatment plan for the following year, reassuring me that I was well on the path to recovery. Within 15 minutes of me leaving her office, she sent me a summary letter.
