"Exceptional experience with a skilled and caring dietician"

About: North Devon District Hospital / Nutrition and Dietetics

(as the patient),

I am writing to share my exceptional experience during my recent appointment with Mr Davies, dietitian at North Devon District Hospital.

Mr Davies demonstrated the utmost professionalism throughout my consultation. His knowledge and expertise were evident from the start, and he addressed my complex health needs, including prediabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, AuDHD, diverticular disease, and hypertension, with confidence and clarity.

What set Mr Davies apart was his genuinely friendly and kind approach; at no point did I feel patronised. Instead, he treated me with respect, providing tailored advice and ensuring I understood every aspect of the dietary guidance.

He thoughtfully walked me through what a healthy diet could look like for my circumstances, patiently answering all my questions and making sure I felt empowered rather than overwhelmed. I particularly appreciated the time he spent explaining how certain food choices impact my various conditions, always using language I could easily follow.

In addition, Mr. Davies signposted several excellent resources that will support me along my journey towards better health. His encouragement and careful signposting gave me confidence to make informed changes, and I left feeling positive and well-supported.

It is a credit to North Devon District Hospital to have such a skilled, caring, and professional dietitian as Mr. Davies on your team. Please pass on my sincere thanks and appreciation.
