Aberdeen Royal Infirmary rheumatology department

"Aberdeen Royal Infirmary rheumatology department"

About: Aberdeen Royal Infirmary / Rheumatology (Joint conditions)

(as the patient),

I thought it was a rather speedy service to be honest especially for something that wasn’t down as urgent. Very friendly reception staff and nurses was friendly aswell. Doctor who I seen was very helpful and made me feel listened to after having a bad experience with that department in past. Was kept in the loop inbetween appointments and the scan was done fairly quick considering long waiting lists. Again was kept in loop and offered a follow up appointment in a short time. Dr Robertson was very helpful again and I felt that appointment was of more help than in the past as they seemed to do more than any other time and i definitely felt like they were more understanding and more helpful
