I have recently seen Ms Marion Yau for my first appointment for a fungal nail infection. Both Ms Yau and her nurse were very helpful and competent. I was very impressed with Ms Yau’s extensive knowledge of fungal nail infection and the complete care plan she devised for treating such condition. After just one appointment my nail looks so much better! I am very happy with the level of care I received (full examination, explanation of the problem and treatment plan, and all the medication needed) and I am very excited and relieved that I have finally found someone who is able to guide me with their expertise. Ms Yau was also very friendly and made me feel very relaxed and in good hands. I am very happy with the care I received and I highly recommend Ms Yau and her team.
