Reviews
“Dr Heaton had a professional and reassuring manner and most importantly, listened to my concerns and responded with explanations, suggested treatments and further referral suggestions. An examination was conducted in privacy with a female nurse present followed by discussion. I felt very comfortable, not rushed and was treated with respect and courtesy. I received an email within a few hours outlining the appointment and provided further useful information to assist me”

“Dr Heaton was very thorough and once he checked my face lesion which was my main reason for the consultation he gave me the once over to make sure there were no other concerns on my body that I didn’t know about. He sent me an email explaining what he had found and how he was going to deal with it by the time I had got home.”

“This was my first consultation and I was impressed by the friendly and direct approach to diagnosing and explaining my condition. I appreciated the two-way dialogue and opportunity to raise a few questions and received a pragmatic response which is just what I was seeking. Excellent experience in all and I won’t hesitate to recommend Chris Heaton in the future.”
