    Dr Ward is the best - he takes time to listen, gives care needed and has saved us - do not know where we would be without him - never let him leave!

    Overall care is very good, but a 90 minute wait seems excessive. Maybe it was due to a patient needing extra care, and I am ok with that, but my suspicion is that it may be due to cost cutting measures like overbooking appointments.
