Helene and Kathy are the most likely voices/faces you will encounter in the clinic whilst they busily manage our clients bookings, accounts and correspondance. They are both extremely experienced in their roles and will do as much as possible to help you with any queries you may have along the way. We are holding out in the hope of a joint picture but not entirely convinced it will ever materialise!!
