Dr Kehinde was great

Dr Kehinde was great. She put my son at ease straight away which made it a lot easier for him. She was thorough and explained everything at the start, and regularly throughout the appointment. She regularly recapped to make sure she had heard everything correctly and noted all important points. She was also very informative explaining things carefully in a way which was easy to understand.
