Dr Saxena makes you feel like a valued patient who is listened too. He offers excellent advice and takes on board how you are feeling when thinking about next steps. His door as they say is always open. His Secretary Elaine is also a tower of support, making sure she informs Dr Saxena when you are going through a flare up/ tough time. They both always reply to any query that they are asked for advice about. I ant fault the service they both give.
