I recently had a consultation with Mr Cartmill at Good Hope Hospital. From the start, he was very professional, kind, and approachable. He listened carefully to my concerns, took my symptoms seriously, and explained the next steps in a way that was clear and reassuring.
Friendly relaxed doctor who explained everything clearly. Clarified myunderstanding. Was reassuring. Gave options around the next steps. Reassuring.
He explained everything that would happen, I requested that he didn’t explain things as he went along with the procedure as I have phobias. He was very helpful with this and the nurses chatted with me whilst the procedure was taking place to keep me calm. The follow up was explained afterwards by him and it was as quick and efficient as it could be.
Mr Cartmill and his team were excellent, exceptionally professional, listened to me and had time to explain the procedure and allowed time for me to ask any questions. I would like to thank him and his team for the outstanding care provided for me this morning.
I am extremely pleased with all the staff with the support and encouragement I received, enabling me to keep calm and make decisions in my own time. Mr Cartmill was very competent and professional throughout the procedure and ensured I was comfortable at each stage. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure beforehand and as he progressed. His pleasant disposition helped make me feel positive towards the outcome.
Very good. He explained everything and put me at ease. The 3 nurses in the room were also lovely and very good at taking my mind off what was happening.
I felt at ease from the moment I walked in the room, Mr Carrmill explained everything with such detail and care and put my mind at rest completely. After such a bad experience with the NHS, this has been such a lovely experience for me at Spire. Would 100% recommend!
