Dr. Batty is a true gentleman and an outstanding professional. From the moment I walked in, he made me feel at ease with his calm and reassuring manner. He took his time to explain everything clearly, never rushed, and ensured I fully understood each step. His genuine care, politeness, and professionalism were evident throughout the consultation. It was an absolute pleasure to be treated by someone so thorough, respectful, and kind. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
