I called this Tuesday, after the Bank Holiday, full of questions on how to navigate the process and get some iron for a severe deficiency. They were excellent.
Allie patiently explained the process and managed to fit me in just a few hours later.
Dr Klapan was welcoming, thorough in her health checks, and reassuring. It was a very calming space for an infusion, and I felt very comfortable there. Dr Klapan administered the infusion and was sure to check on patients regularly throughout. She created a very calming environment.
The clinic itself is also very comfortable. I'd recommend, whilst we all try to avoid going to clinics... I'll definitely be returning!
Thanks again.
