My experience visiting Richard Hull was a very positive one. Richard was very warm and friendly from the beginning of our meeting, which helped me to feel at ease. I attended the meeting with a family member, and Richard was also very polite and friendly to her and managed to include her in our conversations. He was very thorough with his explanations and never made me feel as if he was in a rush to finish the consultation at any time. He was very professional and used terminologies that I could understand.
