If I could award fewer stars, I would. The staff is patronizing and disrespectful, and the medical professionals are completely ineffective. I sought an appointment with a gynecologist due to prolonged menstrual issues. I explained that my only previous gynecological visit was at 19 (I'm now 30), where I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. They claimed everything was fine unless I experienced complications, but for over a year, my periods have been abnormal - lasting a month with only one or two weeks between cycles (essentially living in a continuous menstrual state). Dr. Friederike Fisher insisted that if I wasn't trying to conceive, everything was fine and a gynecologist was unnecessary. I repeatedly emphasized that my menstrual pattern was abnormal and had persisted for an extended period, questioning how she could be certain nothing was wrong. Despite my insistence, I was dismissed. I left without a specialist referral and a year later, my condition remains unchanged. She repeatedly emphasized "in this country" at least three times during our conversation. Having lived in England for seven years and only now seeking medical attention due to genuine need, I'm clearly not attempting to exploit the "excellent health service" of her country. I've since moved and will register with a new practice to exercise my right to specialist care.
Lemonade I.
