I have been a work in progress, and I have to say that I have received nothing but excellent care. From the moment you walk through the front door, Leah is super-efficient and friendly, and all the staff are the same. Very happy with everything.
"Staff make you feel so at ease"
What a wonderful experience right from the moment we entered the rooms. I visited a few weeks ago before returning back to the US to ensure I was good to travel.
