Top specialist / consultant, thorough and considerate but conveys the import of a diagnosis, whatever that might be and however challenging it may be to accept. That's an important feature of a good consultant, they don't hold back telling the bad news for what it is (if there is any), as well as the good.

I would like to commend Paul Stimpson on his ability to put the patient at ease, while conducting a very professional investigation of their symptoms. His clinical examination is both thorough and unhurried, and is accompanied by a full explanation of what is happening throughout the various examination techniques, investigative procedures, and treatments. The consultation was very worthwhile and left me with a clear view of what was causing my symptoms and how they could be resolved.
