"Made me feel comfortable"

About: Sexual Health Services - South Staffordshire (Open Clinic)

(as the patient),

I suffer with extreme anxiety but I really needed to attend the clinic and was so worried I’d back out because of an anxiety attack.

I then had a male shout me through and my whole life even through giving birth I refuse a male anywhere near me due to personal reasons, but the way he was with me was amazing!

He could see straight away I was nervous and he treated me with the most up most respect and care. However I couldn’t complete my appointment due to certain reasons but he made sure I got a new appointment booked!

I was prepared for him to do the examination for me and although yes I was nervous, I still was comfortable with him doing it so thank you to Luke for making me feel so comfortable!
