Review titled Disappointing Consultation
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Francesca Witek - Posted on 10 July 2023
I'm a new registered patient. I have seen a gp from this practice who did not examine my legs. I had explained that the presenting problem was pain in the medial knee aspect, which sometimes travels up and down my leg. I suffer with Lipo lymphedema and severe venous reflux and I'm needless to say suffering with additional pain in the knee/leg. The gp did not examine my leg. She did not perform any observations. I was asked questions. I've had an ultrasound which shows swelling and bulging in the meniscus, also knee effusion. The medial cruciate ligament could not be viewed and it was recommended I have an mri. This gp explained I would have to wait to see the consultant at hospital for them to refer for an !to of the knee. She asked me to 'chase up' a pain clinic appt via a text msg link. She also did not load my regular and acute medications on the nhs app for when it's time for me to request them. On 7/7/23, I telephoned one of the evening duty receptionists with my concerns, she advised I would receive a call from a Gp as I'm not sleeping well with pain, agitated, depressed and need an mri. I almost fell down this weekend as my knee buckled. However, I haven't received a call. For me, it is clear this is not a practice I feel I can stay with. They are happy to leave me to suffer. It's called sub standard care.If I have to self fund an mri and it shows anything of concern that should be receiving prompt treatment, you will be contacted further. This practice is not for me.
