Mr Lovelock allocates 30 minutes for every new patient. This allows ample time to answer any questions you may have to fully explain your conditions.

In a 15-minute follow up consultation Mr Lovelock will thoroughly discuss any results and answer any questions you may have  about your treatment.

After every consultation or operation

A letter will be sent back  detailing your results to your referring doctor or health professional/s involved in your care. This allows for open and improved communication between health professionals and improved coordinated care for your safety and recovery.

If investigations need to be undertaken the reasons for undertaking them will be explained and follow up appointments made to discuss the results.
