Re: London or Bristol?
Hi molly and chrissy Dr. G's secretary, Catherine, is a lovely pain nurse. I was made aware of the fact that she is suffering serious medical problems at the moment so I would advise compassion towards her. To arrange an appointment call 07974412933 or e-mail bristolpainclinic@gmail.com good luck :)
