Patient Feedback

“I have been a patient of Val Allen from as far back as 1980 when my health was at it’s worse. I had been prescribed antidepressants by my doctor but they only made me sleepy during the day and with 2 young children to look after wasn’t good so I stopped taking them. From that first appointment I had with Val I felt a great sense of relief and was confident that we were on the right track. It did take a few months for me to start feeling better with my health improving over time with the vitamins that she gave me. I now see her about 3 times a year for a check up and for any problems I may have. Val has also helped my husband over the years as he is also a patient of hers.”
