Reviews

A very pragmatic doctor who talked us through the situation. He was able to clearly explain which treatments were scientifically sound, and which were anecdotal.
5
Dr Seward was highly recommended to me by my GP, and I was not disappointed. I experienced him warm in his greeting, thorough in ascertaining my symptoms, realistic in suggesting their possible causes but not alarmist about the potential outcomes of the tests and diagnostic procedures that he went on to request. I cannot recommend him highly enough to others affected by bowel issues.
