What our patients say?

“Thanks to Emma’s dedication and tenacity, I have been fully restored to my prior functionality.

In addition to the depth and breadth of her knowledge and experience, she possesses a tremendous ability to listen and respond, great warmth, humour and insight; and the ability to critically assess/address patient needs with candour whilst offering much needed encouragement.

All-in-all, she is a tremendous practitioner and human being.”
