Review titled Lovely and kind
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 November 2024
Attended for blood tests. I have a pretty severe hospital/needle phobia and was in a state of mild panic throughout the experience. The Dr was kind, helpful and calming - taking time to check I was OK and ensuring everything went smoothly. An experience I was dreading became pretty straightforward. I really appreciated that little extra time and energy taken which made such a difference to my day. Thank you.

Review titled Worst practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 October 2024
I recently took my daughter to see a Dr due to her persistent cough, wheezy breathing, high temperature and vomiting. Despite her high temperature and known history of asthma requiring an inhaler, I felt that the consultation was not thorough. The Dr listened to her cough but ultimately did not prescribe any treatment or offer further guidance, which left me feeling concerned and frustrated. As a parent, I always try to manage minor issues at home before seeking medical advice, but this experience did not provide the reassurance I was hoping for. I expected a more proactive approach given my daughter’s symptoms. I hope future patients receive the attention and care they need.

30th of September 2024 at 1 pm my husband and me was an appointment in Enfield Chase Farm Hospital, Department of physiotherapy. Doctor who provided consultation to my husband is one of the best professionals! He was very patient and polite, is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all our questions. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the very professional assessment of the condition of my husband's joints, for very sound advice. Thank you for being an exceptional doctor!

Review titled The best nurse ever!!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 September 2024
I went to get my monthly blood test and was not really feeling it. However, the nurse was such a character and his outgoing personality really made my day. I’m not sure what his name was but he we talked about me wanting to be an actor and he told me that a famous actor was a family friend of his from Ghana!!! It was really interesting and at the end he told me I was so brave I would be a great actor which really made my day !! He was so great and the blood test was flawless and practically painless . I give him a 10/10!!!! I hope all kindness he showed me comes back to him x1000 - thanks !!

I had an investigation this morning. I cannot praise all the staff highly enough. They were kind, understanding and professional. They made what was a worrying and uncomfortable procedure a reassuring process. Thank you.

Review titled Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing!
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 June 2024
Staff we're very pleasant and cheerful but didn't quite know what was going on very disorganized. I was told to go and that everything was okay only to be bought back again on another date because they should have done something else while I was there. The service when it was at Barnet was always busy but well organised.

Review titled Magnificent experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Rhian Morgan - Posted on 08 May 2024
I've had an atrocious time with shoulder problems for the past 17 months so it was about time something good happened to me. My treatment this month, for arthroscopic subacromial decompression, rotator cuff tear debridement, biceps tenotomy and joint debridement was faultless. I was back home, pretty pain free within hours, all the staff were kind and efficient, the building was clean and well kept, there were plenty of cups of tea and I cannot recommend this day unit enough. I'd been on the brink of paying for this operation and I'm so glad I didn't.

Review titled Hugely Disappointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 August 2024
I am very unhappy with the dr that I saw at chase farm rheumatology dept. on 09/04/24 at 09:45. Despite waiting a year for the appointment, he did not take any thorough history. And I was in and out rapidly. The dr appeared to have already decided on a diagnosis before I had even walked through the door! He stated nothing could be done and there was no treatment available! See you in a year. The subsequent diagnostic letter I received, is not factually correct either. I have severe pain and swelling in my fingers on both hands. Painful wrists and elbows, and lumps on my toes. This flares up, then recedes, then flares up again. Each time the joints become more damaged and my range of movement and strength is reduced. The joints develop hot, red, swollen lumps, and can occur from one day to the next. The pain is worse in the morning, so bad, that I dread waking up. I have other long term autoimmune conditions including Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, dry eyes, dry scalp, ridges on my finger and toenails. However, when I queried if this arthritis could be connected to my autoimmune conditions, he insisted it could not. Belittling my query, he said just because I have other autoimmune conditions doesn’t make it likely the red swelling, heated joints and pain in my fingers etc is connected. Even though the rheumatologist at Harlow, did think It was connected, diagnosed it as inflammatory arthritis and prescribed Hydroxychloroquine. I called Versus Arthritis, and they were surprised I had not been investigated for other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Your dr also noted I am suffering from flexor tenosynovitis. This condition is known to be more commonly associated with RA or Psoriatic arthritis, however, your dr told me I have osteoarthritis. He said that means there is no treatment, and I don't need another appointment until a years time. Meanwhile my joints are continuing to become more excruciatingly painful and more deformed. The swollen finger joints are very tender and the very distinctive burning pain extends to the finger tip. Also, my fingers are numb! I expected Royal Free / Chase Farm Rheumatology to be a centre of excellence. It was not. The 2nd opinion I received from your dr was less informed than the one from rheumalogy at Princess Alexandra’s in Harlow, and they've been in special measures!
