When animal owners starting asking for whatever Daisy had had for their own ailments he became a homeopath for people too. Now he runs a purely homeopathic surgery and doesn’t know how many legs his patient will have until looking into the waiting room. Geoff has a wonderful teaching style that is always appreciated by students.
