I was a patient at this doctors and want to tell my story.
I had skin problems which started as a rash and now is all over my body. I spent a year in discomfort with these doctors because they didn't diagnose me correctly its not that I complain about that but the way I was treated was disgusting.
They gave me creams EVERY time I visited them with the SAME problem and when I came back to the surgery with no relief from the creams and visually my skin was no better I was then told by two of the doctors there I wasn't putting the creams on correctly.
How dare they judge me for what do they know if I was or wasn't putting the cream on correctly?
I assured them I was and I needed to be referred to a skin expert.
Turns out I had and still have T-Cell lymphoma.
I literally walked out after that and said a few words which I don't regret and was told not to come back.
I went to another doctors in Witham and straight away they agreed with me and sent me to a specialist.
Granted it took a while to get to the correct diagnosis but spending a year with the condition I had with these doctors not once did they test me for anything other than giving me coconut cream prescriptions or advice on coconut cream to buy over the counter.
Which the other doctors im now with said how do they know coconut cream isn't causing it?
Which it wasn't but proves a point that these doctors in my opinion were not doing there job correctly and in fact when I spoke to other doctors and nurses they agreed with my frustration with them.
I speak the truth and when I left the surgery I was told never to come back. I was shocked with the letter I received and I thought id wait until I find out whats wrong with me as they made me feel hopeless, depressed and fed up because I wasnt being listened too and fed up every time I was being fobbed off with useless information and I was the one that wasnt doing it right.
I knew I wasn't well and something was wrong but with surgerys like this you don't want to prolong the agony because your made to feel the way I was.
I hope people find this info helpful. People will have a honest review albeit a negative one to base there own opinions.
Very unprofessional
