My experience with Dr Aitken was excellent.A kind and compassionate doctor who goes the extra mile for his patients.Very thorough in his research.Staff extremely friendly.Spends as much time with each patient as needed,so there may be some waiting time but you are aware of the time and effort he puts into each patient so I never minded having to wait.I would highly recommend him!
