I have been referring to Paracelsus over the past 5 years. I have found the service to be exceptional in every aspect. This is truly a family run service that provides individualised care to their clients. They have managed very complicated presentations with a sensitive, client-centred, well thought trough, evidence-based strategy. It is a privilege to refer to a team of experts whom I can trust to put the needs of my clients first!
