- The consultant was top class and did a fantastic job for me. The hospital was clean and the staff very friendly and accommodating.
- Two years ago I saw James Quinn for a variety of symptoms including not being able to swallow properly. Since then, my symptoms have gotten progressively worse, however I was labelled with "health anxiety" which I disagreed with at the time. I was shown a lack of care and time.Doctor's response -Dear Patient, I am sorry to hear that your experience did not meet with your expectations. I saw you on four occasions in 2022 and early 2023. I arranged several investigations to investigate your symptoms and, as a result, I referred you onto another specialist who I understand recommended further tests. As you raised no concerns at the time, your review now has come as a surprise. If there is something further that you feel I can do to help you, please feel free to contact my secretary and we can arrange a call or face to face appointment.
