Everyone very helpful and polite, everything explained in detail about procedure im going to have.

A very good service reception at hospital was spotless , Mr Drampalos saw me on time and had xrsys while I waited he then revievewd my xrays explaing everything to me. Also future plans including mri and follow up consultations
I attended Mr Drampalos' clinic this morning for a follow up appointment regarding my damaged Achilles tendon. I was welcomed by the staff in an extremely friendly and yet professional manner. Mr Drampalos asked how I felt in myself and examined the tendon. He carried out an external examination explaining every step in a manner that I could follow. As an individual he exudes professionalism and has an outstanding bedside manner, putting my wife and myself at ease. He was very happy with the progress and discharged me to the physiotherapist with the advice if at any time I had concerns, I could contact him and his team.
Very pleased with the whole process, doctor was very good at explaining what the procedure would entail,
Unhappy I have to be referred again for my right foot. I was referred in 2017 for both feet!!! My referral, I've been told this morning is to keep the hospital waiting list down!!! I'm appalled at this. I've to remain in pain through no fault of my own.
