• Greyfriars have always given me quality care.

• I have contacted in two different ways. First via phone and the reception staff and the other via the online portal/form. Both times have been quick, easy, professional, informative and prompt. I have been responded to with care and respect. The online form states that they will get back to you within 2 days and I had a doctor calling me 3 hours after sending the form in. The doctor my daughter saw today actually put the focus on her, as the patient. This allowed her to feel empowered on making her own decisions, even at 9. Medications were discussed rather than dictated to. Fab, Thankyou!
