the requirements, said Rita Conway, the Clinic Manager, everyone has found it worthwhile and we really all feel that

their treatment right from the start. We discuss the options available and give them all the information they need to
decide which is best for them. They then receive a written outline of the agreed treatment, how many appointments
they need and what it will cost. We make sure that there are no hidden costs or surprises”. Patient waiting times are
kept to a minimum and every effort is made to make appointments that are convenient to the patient. |
