- Waiting time
- Condition of facilities
- Your organisation is hopeless! Fortunately the consultant wasn't! You cancelled this appointment and have subsequently sent me a reminder! And now you want a review for an appointment I didn't attend! Try again!
- Booked appoint for 3 o’clock and received confirmation and message to confirm. When we arrived we were advised it was 4 o’clock. Apart from long waiting time the experience was great. Doctor was great
- He is excellent in both diagnosing and providing treatment as well as treating me as a patient!
- Very worthwhile appointment
- Booked appointment in advance, turned up and my booking wasn’t in their system. I had travelled almost two hours away so had to wait a few more hours to be seen. Hospital was brilliant, but booking it was very poor.
- Very happy with the service and appointment.
- Courteous, businesslike and empathetic, Dr Atkin made excellent use of the time available to investigate my background and symptoms, ending with a detailed plan for action in conjunction with my GP, followed promptly by a comprehensive report specifying the further tests required
- Really positive appointment with time to discuss things fully and a good plan made which has given me confidence.
