Very impressed with the prompt service I received. Prompt delivery of my chair, Darren who delivered my chair explained usage very well. Thank you very much a very impressive service. I was listened to and things were explained with great clarity. Time was taken to find details of what had happened and then to give time for drugs to take affect before & continuing with treatment. Thank you. Care was fantastic, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Created a very relaxing atmosphere. We wouldn’t have changed anything. Thank you!
