Time was spent explaining my scan to me . I didn’t feel rushed and I also felt listened too

Professor Keen had a very warm manner but generally seemed disinterested in my situation. I appreciate that this review is written from the privilege of having private healthcare. However, my provider had approved associated blood tests with this consultation. Prof Keen recognised that I had osteopenia and some autoimmune symptoms but decided to write to my GP to suggest they ran blood tests. This was incredibly frustrating as I was keen to know if I had any autoimmune issues before having major spinal surgery. His secretary became annoyed with me and eventually I was posted a blood test form that had a single non-recognised blood test on it with no request for an autoimmune panel. My GP was perplexed. What is the point of being referred to a Rheumatologist for investigation if you get bounced back to an overloaded NHS GP? My bone quality was assumed to be due to prior endometriosis therapy and dismissed, seemingly because no one in my family has had regular fractures. Unfortunately, I only know the medical history of my mothers’ side. I felt like I was having to “feed” him my medical history as he was not curious. When I queried the bone health benefits of adding testosterone to my HRT this was responded to with a focus on libido. If you have osteoporosis and already have a diagnosis, I have no doubt that Professor Keen is the very best given his academic research on new treatment protocols. If you are searching for answers, not interesting enough bone-wise, or, you have private healthcare, then I think you would be better seeing a different Rheumatologist. I subsequen...
Read moreI am very sorry that your experience in my clinic fell below the standards expected. There also appear to have some administrative issues with my office, and I apologise for this. My practice aims to offer expertise in osteoporosis and rarer metabolic bone conditions, and I am pleased that you were able to obtain the general rheumatological review and appropriate investigations needed. Your criticisms are noted, and I will look to improve the service offered to future patients.

I found Professor Keen a good listener and able to explain the treatment options for my osteoporosis clearly. He registered my concerns and did his best to reassure me. I particularly appreciated his suggestion of transferring me to his NHS list.

Prof Keen is highly professional, extraordinarily knowledgeable and very patient. Even though I had seen him over a year ago and hasn’t followed his advice at the time, he didn’t make me feel bad in any way and patiently explained an alternative solution which I’ll definitely be following. A true pleasure and a real gentleman.
