Felt dismissive, rushed and slightly cold. Didn’t discuss areas which I felt I needed to discuss. I left with more questions than answers. I did not feel reassured that my issues were taken at all seriously. This was more disappointing with me choosing to see a female doctor who deals in female issues. I strongly believe that the NHS would have provided me a much better service, I never thought I would say this. Slightly irritated that I decided to travel 2 and a half hours to see someone for 5 minutes for poor quality service. I’m not sure I will use Spire Manchester Hospital in future.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
