Immediately when Bal greeted me and shook my hand, I could feel his positive energy. When we went into my medication review, he took the time to appreciate my concerns, and explain the way my medication worked and gave me some factual medical information about it, to ease some of my worry.
He showed me several resources online about my condition and medications, and he also walked me through which bits of my blood test results check for different health indicators, and how I was scoring on each.
We made a plan together to reduce my medication, following my request, and he advised me on correct process to self-monitor at home, as I was coming off.
Overall, I felt so much more re-assured leaving my appointment - his very personal, empathetic, and energised approach made my day. I left feeling really relieved and energised. Thanks so much, Bal.
"Really great medication review experience"
