"Minor operation on my nose"

About: Forth Valley Royal Hospital / Surgical Skin Team

(as a service user),

I visited FV hospital for minor op to remove lesion on my nose. I was anxious.

However both professionals David and Laura immediately put me at ease. I had been on a waiting list and this appointment came in earlier than expected and on a Saturday afternoon. I was earlier and taken just before my time.

Despite a painful injection all was smooth and as I said both staff so professional, pleasant and using great humour to quell my anxiety. Op seemed straightforward with good aftercare advice given.

This is my experience of NHS over the last year or two that despite a short wait the staff do their utmost when you get there! Thank you to both.

Thank you Mrs Sheppard, for leaving such a lovely review.

It is great to hear that Laura and I were able to ease your anxiety. We recognise it is a stressful prospect, but try to ensure there is a relaxed atmosphere in the room.

Hopefully everything is progressing as planned and you didn't feel too uncomfortable afterwards.

Thanks again

David
