Earlier this year I made an appointment to see the Duty Doctor at Inverurie Medical Practice. How very fortunate was I (albeit I didn’t know it at the time) that my appointment was going to be with with Dr Leiper. Without going in to huge detail, I was experiencing acute anxiety symptoms. As a Mental Health Nurse this was very difficult to come to terms with. Recognising that over the coming months information, support and guidance I gave to others in my professional role, I would have to adopt and implement for myself.
Dr Leiper was quite amazing. Throughout my illness he has been so very supportive and understanding. He has encouraged me and offered amazing professional guidance, not just as a GP but as a real person. Not once have I felt rushed, despite knowing how busy the practice is (the largest one in Scotland).
He has respected both my husband and I’s professional opinions, he has listened to my anxieties, challenged my thinking and I truly believe my recovery has been significantly influenced by Dr Leipers support. Thank you Dr Leiper for truly person centred professional support, a wonderful Doctor and a credit to the medical profession.
