- This was ultimately a telephone consultation and I am unable to comment on 'waiting time in clinic' or 'condition of the facilities. The others are 5s.
- Extremely happy with my consultation. Dr Mark Connaughton listened to my concerns with care & understanding. Gave explanation & necessary advice which was easy for me to follow.Doctor's response -I'm very grateful for this detailed review, and of course for the high rating - thank you
- I didnt receive a confirmation email from Top Drs so I contacted the secretary. I did get an email the day before the appointment but the location ‘clinic’ was vague particularly if you don’t know whether that’s out patients or in the cardiology centre. Very reassured by Dr Connaughton and well worth having this appointment
- My consultation was very good and provided the information I wanted. However the top doctor information sent to me gave no information about where I should go at St Marys hospital for my appointment.Doctor's response -Thank you very much for the recommendation. I'm sorry you didn't have adequate information about how to find the clinic area. Something for us to work on here, and thank you for flagging this up.
