As a rheumatoid arthritis patient from across the border in Somerset, when first diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I opted for The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, as they could provide the earliest appointment.
After initial treatments at Exeter RD&E in 2009, a hospital I was impressed with in terms of cleanliness, facilities, (dedicated parking, canteen, shop etc) and efficient, friendly patient care, my brilliant rheumatologist Dr Mascarenhas gave me the option of treatment at Tiverton clinic which I accepted on the basis of it being an easier journey and less busy.
I was right. It's a lovely clean, modern, friendly place, with easy parking and I'm always straight in and out. I've never had to wait long for treatment and in all honesty, couldn't fault this service.
"Good care at Exeter and Tiverton"
