    Your online booking platform made my life a lot easier, as I was able to see which timeslots were available at first glance. :) The driveway and entrance to the Practice are welcoming and it was easy to park. The receptionists are accessible and friendly. The waiting area is modern and comfortable with lots of light coming in from the lovely bay window - and I love the turquoise green colour scheme. Dr Behrens rooms are bright and modern . Overall it was a very pleasant visit to Dr Behrens , who is always friendly and gracious, yet professional . Many thanks Jenny Jones

    I am very happy with the service but find it a bit annoying that I am forced to provide a comment that is at least 30 characters long. Maybe next time I just won't bother. I am happy with Dr Behrens but I don't like this system. My recommendation is that you change the system. Hope this comment is long enough.
