"Treatment for mental health issue"

I recently had a follow-up appointment with Matthew regarding treatment I've been receiving for my mental health. I just wanted to provide feedback that his support has been amazing and made me feel a lot better about sharing my problems with a doctor.

When I first went to the doctors about my anxiety I felt I wasn't properly listened to and I felt like I was just another person suffering with a mental health issue. I think I was in the consultation room for less that 10 minutes.

Matthew in contrast was really kind and understanding and he remembered me from when I first came to the surgery. He must has been longer than my allotted appointment as he said he was worried about me. I was then surprised to receive correspondence for a follow-up appointment.

When I met with him most recently he was genuinely pleased that my situation has improved and he offered guidance on how to slowly stop taking medication for my anxiety. He talks to you like a normal person and not a number and I feel really positive about the whole experience. Please do share this feedback with him if it's possible.
