AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Dr. Sally Nicholson gives thorough patient care. She listens and explains next steps. Her professional and friendly manner puts patients at ease. This includes health assessments, medical check-ups, back pain, and stomach issues.
Despite letting us know bad news, she was incredibly caring and comforting with details of the recommended investigation plan explained. The 7.30pm call was very much over-and-beyond the call of duty. We could not have had better care.

Thank you so much, and yes, we have covered some wide subjects and injuries! Always happy to help.
Brilliant experience, it was everything I was hoping for. Sally explained things clearly and concisely, and kindly recommended follow up treatments and exercises. It was great to talk to someone who gets sports injuries. I can get anxious in medical situations but I felt at ease during the appointment.

Dr Nicholson was really fantastic. She listened carefully and noted all my ailments and, after thorough checks, gave me some answers and suggested next steps. I've been struggling for a while and it was great to have someone consider that some of my issues might be connected.

I felt heard, respected and cared for. I had a thorough physical examination and at the end of the session I was given a written plan of action and asked if I had any further questions.
