    I have nothing but positives to say about Dr. Overbury. Even though my situation is not straightforward, she has treated me respectfully and exhibited careful processing when putting it all together and working with me on a course of treatment.

    Very good doctor, just frustrated with inability to reach her for questions about lab work and inability to book appointments for months.

    My previous consultant was Dr. Tracy Frech, referred by Dr. John Pauling, UK RUH Bath, and frankly Dr. Frech is a hard act to follow. So the jury's out. Dr Overbury was understanding and listened. There was no rush yet even so I - no reflection on Dr. Overbury - omitted to share several medical issues related to my condition. I'm hoping that over time we can form a good doctor/patient relationship.
