Dr Protherough was extremely professional, proactive and helpful during the home visit and during the follow up. She demonstrated a great deal of compassion, and concern for ensuring the best course of action and treatment and has liaised with relevant parties. I felt completely supported and Dr Protherough achieved in hours what I hadn't been able to achieve in over 3 months. I am deeply grateful to her for her care and attention.
Thankyou for this reply. I'm so glad to have been able to help you and that you have found our service so valuable.

How can one adequately thank such brilliant doctor! Huge thankyou to Dr Protheroughs, who came out on the bank holiday following easter. We have been finding it extremely difficult to get my elderly mothers GP out to her, who is housebound. Nhs surgeries seem to forget about giving care to housebound patients, hence we went private. The doctor carried out an extensive check, prescribed her some much needed antibiotics, and also amended her current meds to ease her infection. A brilliant doctor who specialises in elderly care and put our minds at ease. She also sent a letter to our GP recommending some tests to be conducted (although the nhs GP surgery do not seem to care again!). Will definitely be booking Dr Protheroughs again for future care. A heartfelt thankyou :) !
Thankyou so much for this review, it is so affirming and makes everything we are doing at Home Visit Healthcare worth it

Having Dr Protherough visit in your own home at a time to suit you is so much more convenient and certainly much quicker than trying to arrange seeing a GP through the NHS. Not only that but you are given so much more time and attention to diagnose your health issue. Her prognosis and recommended treatment resulted in aiding my recovery enabling my return to work so much more quickly. Dr Protherough is really pleasant and I will certainly use her again in the future.
I'm so glad you had a positive experience, indeed our services are much quicker and we have more time. It's such a privilege to be able to provide such a service. Thankyou

Within a couple of days of my enquiry, Kirsten visited me at my home. Kirsten was keen to get an understanding of my symptoms and medical history to ascertain what was going on. I felt that Kirsten was very thorough and was able to spend as much time with me as needed. Within a few days, Kirsten followed up our appointment with her thoughts and a plan.
Thankyou, conducting a comprehensive assessment is so important to me, this enables a much more thorough review and action plan. I'm so glad it was a positive experience enlisting our services
