Dr Chris was really helpful and detailed in his assessment, he explained clearly to me the likely cause of my allergic reaction and sent me for the relevant testing which confirmed his initial diagnosis.

I found the session very helpful, firstly in identifying the source of the allergic reactions, and then in relation to relieving the symptoms, setting out very clearly short term solutions and further options if they don not prove effective.
