I had been putting off looking into my back pain for years and finally decided to start with a gait analysis and orthothes but I really appreciated that Mr Stapleton took a holistic view and recommended other specialist visits to investigate the causes further. I appreciated his easy going friendly manner and his ability to explain what he was picking up from the visit. Really pleased with the visit overall and the Beneden Hospital in general.
