Altogether an excellent experience

Posted By Ruth671

"Altogether an excellent experience"

About: University Hospital Wishaw / Gastroenterology

(as a parent/guardian),

My daughter, who is wheelchair bound and has complex health issues, recently had a gastroenterology appointment in outpatients. She was seen within a couple of minutes of her appointment time. She was listened to carefully by the doctor, whose name we unfortunately did not catch, and he asked a number of pertinent questions. He then explained what he wanted to do and why, dictated a letter to the GP while we waited and said he would see her again in 2 months. Altogether an excellent experience and we wanted to say how good our experience with this department has been so far. Thank you very much.
