She's a crazy lady (dresswise) but excellent. When she clicks her fingers, things happen!!! My MW used to comment that she had a lot of clout at CPH which is good when you dont want to be transfered.
Tom's birth turned complicated and she explained it all to me as best she could. Then she came in and saw me EVERY day while we were in hospital!!! And her fees are reasonable! |

| thats a bummer! Other friends of mine used a guy called Richard someone or other and used him a second time so he must be ok. |

Hi there,
I used Richard Dover from the Oxford Clinic. Bit of a dry sense of humour but absolutely excellent. Simon Jones is really nice also but I only saw him through the public system a couple of times. He is now working privately ( well he was when I had Harry in 2008) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Richard Dover or Simon Jones are good, as is Janine Brown (Oxford Clinic). I usually go through Mike Laney but I don't think he delivers anymore. |
