Excellent service, attention and care

June 25, 2015

My son needed to see a speech therapist for an initial assessment. The service I visited was at Cleckheaton Health Centre; it was immaculate, comfortable and had good parking. The speech therapist was fantastic - really listening to my concerns. She was also excellent with my son; he was playing with her within a couple of minutes completely unaware that he was being observed and enjoying himself. She gave me lots of useful tips at the end, even though he didn't need to be seen again. Brilliant service!
