Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. I really appreciate your comments and am pleased that you had a positive experience.
As always Dr Pendleton is very professional. He explains everything about my treatment and is always reassuring.
I felt very at ease during my consultation with Dr Pendleton. My husband attended also. He checked up on my medical history, my recent MRI and patiently asked about all my symptoms and asked me lots of questions. He physically examined my joints and concluded my symptoms were the result of polymyalgia ( and he also found I also have nodular osteoarthritis) He explained about my treatment with steroids and wanted to see me again but as i had a holiday booked he kindly offered a telephone call on 20 August. He requested a RF blood test and i got my prescription at the pharmacy. I felt very reassured by him and was delighted to finally get a diagnosis. Overall he was a true gentleman who I would highly recommend.
