I went to see this doctor, 1st time we ever met, I explained all what was going on and other bits. He was very thorough and very much listened to me, he said about a blood test, which I have had done, he phoned me this morning explaining what was found etc, he gave a option and again explained all about it. I have came away thinking overall totally totally 1st class doctor

Consultation was excellent. I made a request on Engage Consult on Wednesday but had heard nothing so had to call today. Was offered an appointment at Upper Church Road but when we arrived the GP was at the other practice. I was then given an appointment later this afternoon so the mistake was put right. I usually have no issues like this so seems like a one off.
