“Dr Sporton is extremely kind, caring and knowledgeable. He gave me a great deal of time at my consultation, and made me feel heard and understood. I believe he routinely deals with much more serious health issues than mine, but treated my issues with respect and concern. He provided me with a detailed and clear explanation of my test results, and a referral to another branch of medicine. He checked that I was comfortable with the care plan and my change of meds, with a follow up call. I am very grateful to have been referred to such an excellent consultant. “
