The clinic is spotless, the front of house team is very nice and respectful. I went to see Dr Benard, she was very patient, she explained everything to me and took the time to give me some advice. I went to see Professor Shotliff as well, he was reassuring and took the time to explain everything to me (even if I don't speak very good English). I feel very confident to be treated at this clinic and the price is worth it.

I think Dr Benard is the best GP I have had in my life. I never reply to this type of survey honestly, but I wanted to share this information. She gave me medical information that I was not aware of and that other GPs should have told me long before (as it was putting me in danger). She listened to me and asked very precise questions but let me as well explain myself. In general, GPs are either overly dramatic or very passive but she had the perfect balance

Just a bit annoying that I missed my appointment with Dr Benard last Friday because I didn't receive any confirmation after my emergency request by phone (on Friday). Apparently she was ok to see me on Friday evening but no one got back to me to tell me so. Fortunately Dr Benard was kind enough to rearrange another appointment the day after. But other than that, super front of house team and brilliant and careful specialists
