Felt rushed out and not properly listened to
I had a very poor experience during my recent visits. After being unwell for three weeks, I attended an appointment where I was informed that a crackling sound was detected in my lung and was given a prescription for antibiotics. However, I was told they were unlikely to be effective, which made me hesitant to use them. When my symptoms persisted after five weeks, I booked another appointment with a different clinician. Upon explaining my previous experience, I was told that the earlier assessment had actually indicated no crackling sound in my lung. This contradicted what I had understood from my first visit, and it was distressing to be questioned about my recollection, especially as my son had been present during that appointment and could corroborate what I had been told. The second clinician did confirm that a crackling sound was present and prescribed antibiotics again, this time with reassurance that they would be beneficial. However, the appointment ended abruptly, with the clinician standing up and attempting to usher me out before I had finished getting ready to leave. Other patients in the waiting area appeared to notice this rushed behaviour. I remain unwell and uncertain about my condition. The inconsistency in my care and the manner in which I was treated has left me feeling very uncomfortable about returning for further appointments. The overall standard of service fell well short of what I would expect, and I found the experience deeply disappointing and unprofessional.

Outstanding care provided by a committed group of healthcare professionals. They are delivering excellent work despite operating within an outdated facility that falls short of modern standards.

Disappointing experience with the medical team. My son received incorrect diagnoses on two separate occasions. One of these turned out to be inaccurate upon further investigation.
