Mr Richard Husicka

Detected a change of attitude when gave list of conditions and symptoms, as disabled young adult with complex conditions, so unfortunately a long list. Wording in appt. and on report confirmed this. It was done for patient's benefit, in large print for VI and as aid-memoir. Handed over to save patient from having to try to remember it all in what is a stressful environment for them. Overall the explanation and actions weren't affected, I don't think, but the wording makes a difference to the patient, who is perfectly able to pick up on it. It adds to the stress and it would be useful to not experience this and not to have it added to a report, to further remind her that this is how it is perceived. Space looked tight for wheelchair access, luckily they didn't take it on the day. Building work did impact on overall quality atm, so possibly better once finished.

excellent consultation which was thorough and felt listened to from the start. Acted on findings with a scan immediately and explained findings . Felt at ease throughout. Followed up with an email within 24 hours . Very reassured and would not hesitate to contact again.

We had a much better experience than with the NHS. Mr Husicka was very friendly, understanding and listened well. We felt much better with experience at WernDale

I walked into my initial meeting abit weary but after our discussion of my results, his manner gave me confidence enough to book myself in for treatment in the hospital. The moment I walked in all the staff were great settling me in, checking on me regularly. The theatre staff checked in with me aswell and after the consultant left, I happily walked down for my procedure, because all around me was calm and I loved that. The food was superb and the staff so beautifully presented all the time.

I felt very comfortable and assured.

Third consultation with Mr Husicka. His light hearted approach does a lot to calm any nervousness felt. He takes the time to ask about how you have been coping since the previous appointment. I find him professional & capable with all examinations. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Friendly, listened, and clear explanations

It was agreed that I would not just rely on Werndale to notify my future appointments. I was reminded of the importance of continuing daily pelvic thrust exercises as although no problems identified today it could change as I become older.

I have seen Mr Husicka twice and on both occasions he has listened to all my concerns and given me a few treatment options. He is lovely and when I was facing a difficult period in my life where I was going back and forth to GPs and suspected I had endometriosis, he didn’t dismiss me when I explained my symptoms and sent me for a pelvic MRI where the endometriosis was picked up.

Nervous about this appointment, Mr Husicka very quickly put me at ease. The patient’s comfort and dignity is maintained at all times. He gave me a very comprehensive explanation of my condition and a treatment plan for going forward. Extremely pleased that I went to see him.
