Not very impressed and not the level of service I’d expect with this recent visit /appt. I’d leave it at that.
I believe you have reached out to my practice management team about your concerns. I was late to join our video call appointment, as I was speaking with another patient who was unwell and needed more time than anticipated. As I did on the day, I apologise for the delay in speaking with you, but hope you understand the reason behind this. I would be more than happy to speak with you to discuss any on-going concerns you may have.
