The session with Mr Johnson went very well, pleasant and explained everything very clearly and was prescribed some medication. Unfortunately since then it has been an absolute nightmare dealing with Nuffield Health Derby. I was unable to locate the prescribed medication from several different pharmacies, one being a national chain, as they all advised it was not in stock and that they were unable to order it. As I was unable to get through to his private secretary, I called Nuffield Health number. I have spent the last two weeks ringing Nuffield Health, explaining the issue. Each time very pleasant staff advised they would sort it, but each time they never had the courtesy to call me back and let me know what was happening. Eventually today, after a 30minute call, they managed to advise that the pharmacy at the Derby Hospital had the prescription available, but they insisted that they were unable to post it and that I had to come and collect it, 90minute round trip in the snow. Overall, a very poor service and makes you wonder what's the benefit of paying for health insurance.

Skill Endorsements

Mr. Johnston is a superb clinician and surgeon. He trained me and I will ever be in his debt for the high quality training he provided. He is especially skilled with children, and adult patients equally. I would recommend him to my family and friends and would see him myself for any issues I had that required his expert opinion. I frequently refer patients of mine to see him, whether it be for areas of which he has expertise, or for a second opinion. I would highly recommend him without reservation.
