Many years ago, Mr Worth treated my former husband. I'll never forget how, at such a worrying and tense time, he was just so calm, caring and gentle. He took time to communicate with me caringly and to ensure not only the wellbeing of the patient, but also mine. RIP Mr Worth

Dear mrs Worth and family .I have often thought of Mr Worth over the years, esp after he became unwell.What a incredibly lovely man .He very much helped my family over 30 years ago when my younger Brother Donald Williams was diagnosed with a rare glomus brain tumour.If my memory serves me Mr Worth pretty much diagnosed him along with Mr Balikrishna(pardon spelling).My Brother was only 22 at the time and passed at 25 .My parents Jack and Evon Williams from Hataitai and formerly of Williams and Adams of Wellington were always eternally greatful to Mr Worth..Please accept my sympathies on behalf of them ( both deceased ) and myself on the loss of such a talented Man who had his health been better ,would have done so much more for people.
Regards Shona kramer( Williams)
