“The team at Pioneer were great and saw me very quickly – John and Claire made me feel at ease right away and I felt reassured that I’d be taken good care of. I have been having regular visits to the clinic ever since and, although my leg is taking far longer than I could have expected to recover, I am happy that I’m in safe hands.”
