I too have been a patient of the practise for nearly 30 years as well as my son who is in his 30's and has been going regularly since a toddler .Mr .Freedman was a very quiet gentle man and will be greatly missed. I saw Rashid last week and he seems very nice too and yes he is permanent. He also told me they are moving to more modern premises in The Gardens some time soon and Mr. Frost will have his house back!
