Dr Reffitt made me feel I was in safe professional hands. He´s friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.
Read moreDr Reffitt has been excellent at finding a diagnosis for issues I've had for a number of years, including on going support as I go for more tests. He was very thorough in his testing and providing information. I had a Colonoscopy and Gastrosocopy at London Bridge - only my second, and whilst never pleasant, it was the best experience it could have been. Lovely and helpful medical secretary as well.
Read moreVery professional approach; quick response; makes sure all areas are covered to avoid any complications and/or risks.
Read moreDr Reffitt is amazing! He arranged the tests I needed (which I was dreading but they were completely painless thanks to his skill) and I got a diagnosis very quickly. I am now on the correct medication and living a pain free normal life. He is very caring, reassuring and really listens every single time I see him. I would thoroughly recommend him. I am very grateful to have found Dr Reffitt and I feel my health is in the safest of hands.
