Hi Suzie, I am traveling down from Scotland. I was notified early March that Dr Marios Hadjivassiliou will see me. I am just waiting on a appointment coming through

[suzie44na in reply to KiwiBob]

That’s a long way to travel, hope you get your appointment soon. I was told he is a very good specialist and people come from America to see him. Hope all goes well for you
