Brilliant doctor, had been suffering from heavy breathing (when walking even just small distance) and unknowingly both excess fluid and heart problem, Dr Au discovered both problems in first session, and changed medication to reduce fluid around heart, have seen major improvement within few weeks,. Vert knowledgeable and caring. Had been suffering from heavy breathing (when walking) for 10 years previous to the visits.

Overall, he was excellent during our discussion. He made sure to explain things very clearly (pros and cons) and answer any questions I had. He kept straight to the point, ensuring I had adequate expectations and know-how on HRT, before starting Oestradiol.

I found Dr. Au to be very kind and compassionate. When I walked in he was very welcoming and friendly. He listened attentively to the symptoms I have been having and how I am feeling. I left the consultation feeling for the first time in a long time that I might actually get some relief from my thyroid issues. I have just started the medication he prescribed today so to early to comment on it. I would highly recommend Dr. Au to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and compassionate.

Dr Au has been looking after my thyroid care for the past few months. I find him to be a very professional and personable consultant. He is a careful listener, noting all my symptoms, and very happy to engage with any questions I might have. Before I saw Dr Au my health and well-being were under considerable strain. Following my appointments with him and the treatment he has prescribed, my health has improved greatly. I feel much better both physically and mentally and I have full confidence in his ability and interest in treating my condition.
