I felt safe at all times and thoroughly listened too. Jessica Coombes and [clinician] were both utterly fantastic and made me feel totally at ease. The timescale from initial inquiry to final diagnosis was incredibly quick.

[My child] was extremely nervous throughout the whole process but was put at ease by all of the clinicians involved. We all felt very supported and listened to.
