4) I brought my Mum to see Dr Roy on Wednesday 26th October (AM). I cannot express at all how wonderful Dr Roy is. He was thorough, informative, kind and caring. I often find that the NHS get bad press at times but my Mum has had wonderful care under the NHS and we have been particularly impressed with Darent, Queen Mary's and the QE. Words cannot express how lovely Dr Roy was (Darent). The time he gave us was second to none. His examination was thorough, detailed, meticulous, in-depth and was carried out with compassion and care. He was thorough and determined to get to the bottom of Mum's ailments. I cannot recommend Dr Roy enough and we were both overwhelmed by his professionalism and compassion and we felt compelled to give some highly deserved feedback.
