"Very helpful, pleasant and informative"

About: Victoria Hospital / Rheumatology

(as the patient),

I had only one previous appointment from a locum at Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, Fife, where he diagnosed me with CREST syndrome.

Recently Mr McLaren, the consultant, examined me, went through all the results from previous tests, explained what CREST meant for me and sent me for more tests, a heart base line test and bloods.

He gave me helpful booklets to read.  Mr McLaren was very helpful, pleasant and informative.  I was in my appointment for over an hour.  I felt listened to regarding my diagnosis.

Thank you very much for taking the time to feedback about your experience. I'm delighted to hear that you found the appointment with Dr Mclaren informative and helpful. I am so glad that you felt listened too and had time to go over everything. I will share your positive feedback with Dr Mclaren and our rheumatology team. I wish you all the best and really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience on care opinion.
