We recently received a lovely review from an expectant mother who visited our Bristol ultrasound clinic for a 4D scan a few weeks ago.
Having received a disappointing 4D scan from another provider in the past, this particular lady was at first a little apprehensive about coming to the First Encounters clinic; family issues and a difficult pregnancy added to her pre-scan stress, meaning that our staff had to take extra care to deliver a pleasant and memorable experience.
As usual, though, we were more than up to the challenge, and the customer’s glowing review is testament to the great customer service we provide here at First Encounters Bristol. In her testimonial, the soon-to-be mum praises our clinic staff (“the staff made me feel very relaxed”) and states that she will happily recommend First Encounters to any friends thinking of booking their own 3D/4D scan.
She was also very pleased with the images we were able to capture:
“The baby was being a bit difficult and the staff were very patient. We went in three times and managed to get some lovely photos of her face. We took them straight ‘round to show them to my mother- and father-in-law. They were so happy and amazed to see the photos.”
All of us at First Encounters Bristol would like to extend a huge thank-you to this customer for sending us this review. It’s always immensely satisfying to hear that people are impressed with our services, as we do our very best to deliver top-quality results in a relaxed and stress-free atmosphere.
