  • I originally saw Fadis Ofhaily who then referred me to Tint Tint Wai. Both of which are fantastic. I felt heard, understood for the first time in a long time. Both consultants explained everything to me clearly and recommended what was best for me treatment wise. Started treatment lastnight and I feel so happy today. Thank you both!
