Hear from parents we have worked with before
"I came in to see Nicola Cottom yesterday and I just wanted to share how pleased I was. Nicola was really lovely, and she gave me so much valuable information, also in writing which is really helpful. For the first time in 8 months, I felt understood and listened to in regards to my baby girl’s eczema. I feel I have come away with a clear plan, an understanding and I really feel optimistic. Thank you so much for the excellent service."
Mellissa
"I got a treatment plan for my daughter’s eczema which we had needed for a while. It was great to see a medical professional face to face and she was really knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks! | Nicola Cottom explained everything very clearly and took the time to explain to my daughter about her treatment and how if she helped with the cream, she would have skin like a Princess!! This has definitely helped with the twice daily applications. Thank you!"
Happy Patient
"The advice I received was great and I felt very happy with the service. I am extremely impressed, and Nicola was lovely, professional, very knowledgeable and extremely understanding. I felt listened to, and not spoken down to, which I have felt in other appointments regarding this issue."
