“I have managed Dr Paul Crowe’s private clinic since 2018. Prior to this, I worked alongside Dr Crowe for 11 years as a Radiology Administration Lead at The Priory Hospital.
I am a first point of contact for clinic enquiries and assist Dr Crowe’s patients right through to diagnostic tests, consultations, interventional procedures and follow up appointments.
In my spare time I enjoy walking, yoga and DIY projects.”
