Thank you for your kind feedback
Unfortunately I waited over 2 hours to have about 5 mins with Dr Patel. Told to have blood test and then leave. Exhausted.
Was very pleased with the explanation of the treatment, and the understanding that I wanted to leave the procedure for a few months.
An amazing doctor . Veena Patel is one of those rare consultants that leaves you feeling listened to with an amazing bedside manor that is a rare commodity these days. Extremely professional and felt entirely comfortable with her. Would have no problem going back to see her. Thank you Dr.Patel.
Thank you for your kind feedback
Dr.Patel was listened to my concerns and she carefully reviewed my notes. Dr. Patel assessed me physically and due to my unfortunate situation I was taken to hospital straightaway . I stayed in hospital for nearly two weeks. Without her prompt and professional action I would say thank you.
Thank you for your kind feedback
Dr Patel was lovely and very helpful. I’m looking forward to not having to wait too long for a MRI scan.
